I am a large supporter of having items that could be used for bartering in the event that the times get really bad and our infrastructure bottoms out. I believe some extra food would be advisable as would sufficient supplies of toilet paper and like products. However I find it difficult to even consider the thought of bartering Ammo 7.62x39 1000rounds or weapons of any sort. Let's face it, during the preparation stages I saved and purchased Ammo 7.62x39 1000rounds to supply myself and my family for several years at best. While I may have sufficient quantities of ammunition to meet all my needs I would hesitate to supply such things to other people.
During troubled times human nature being what it is tends to bring out the worse that mankind has to offer. In our final days we will likely discover that food is extremely difficult to obtain. Those supplies that we normally take for granted will be unattainable at best. No longer could we jump in the family wagon and take a trip to Wal-Mart's to stock the freezer for the week or to obtain fresh eggs and milk. Life as we are used to it will be totally different.
Life will be bad enough during those times without adding to our troubles. We will have every person running around the city with a loaded gun and no law enforcement would be available to keep them in check. Many of these people will have no training what so ever in the use of these weapons and that makes them doubly dangerous. They will simply be shooting at anything that will be moving whether it be man or beast. More civilian rounds of Ammo 7.62x39 1000rounds will be uselessly spent at this time then ever before in our history. Naturally, anyone with a weapon of any sort will crave more and more Ammo 7.62x39 1000rounds. This thought alone places a premium on the value of Ammo 7.62x39 1000rounds when considered as a trading item.
In the same sense those that have not will certainly be longing for the items they want from those who have them. Weapons and Ammo 7.62x39 1000rounds may at first appear to be an excellent choice for bartering but let's suppose you trade a 22LR or a 30-06 for some supplies. At the same time you reach deeply into your supply of Ammo 7.62x39 1000rounds and provide a selection to use in those firearms. You may have just made the largest blunder of your life. What would prevent that person from simply loading the Ammo 7.62x39 1000rounds that you just traded him with the weapons that you just traded him and taking anything and everything that they want?
Chances are very good that you and your family will also be eliminated since the evil doer would not want to spend the remainder of their life watching over their shoulders in the event you decide to seek revenge.
Simply put why would you want to even consider bartering with people who are in competition with you for any available food and important life giving resources. These same people could turn on you in a moments notice and you have lost everything.
