How to Barter
If you haven’t money on hand, bartering for necessities can enable you to secure the items you need. In addition to needed items, bartering can also help secure the services of another person and generate goodwill. In order to trade successfully, you’ll need to prepare to have items of value on hand.
Take the time now to decide which items you’ll want to store in order to have them on hand when they are later needed.
REMEMBER THAT THIS IS AN INVESTMENT
Remember that goods purchased for trade are not for your own personal use. Trade items are an investment designed to get you a good return – a maximum profit. Don’t purchase junk, but look for good prices on good products that are in the mid-range of quality.
An example of this may be tools. When trading, discounted and used items found on sale will be preferable, in contrast to the highest quality you can afford when purchasing for yourself. You won’t be able to trade junk, but you can find good bargains at flea markets, consignment shops, pawn shops, garage sales, yard sales, estate sales, and other discount stores.
WHEN NEEDED, REPAIRED ITEMS ARE JUST AS GOOD AS NEW
Take into account your unique skills as you invest in trade items. If you have carpentry, metalworking, leatherworking, sewing, or other skills it may be possible for you to purchase items that need repair at an even deeper discount.
ITEMS THAT ARE USEFUL FOR MORE THAN ONE PURPOSE
Look for multi-purpose items. You will have more opportunities to trade and save space in storage. Items such as duct tape, tarps, string or twine, blankets, rubber bands, buckets, basins, soap, and assorted cloth fall into this category.
MAKE YOUR OWN TRADE GOODS
Rather than stockpiling an assortment of items, consider learning a skill set that enables you to produce valuable items. A helpful skill is knowing how to manufacture ammunition. For further information on the tools required for this you should research bullet swaging. Skills in metalworking, sewing, pottery, masonry, soap making, candle making and foraging will be beneficial for bartering as well as for your own personal use.

Women Farmers Feed the World (Ms. Magazine)
It's harvest season in Burkina Faso. Throughout the West African nation's
rural regions, small farmers—mostly women—are harvesting millet, rice, and
sorghum to feed large families. After a full day gathering grains, each wife
will continue the work, tending her own small garden to feed her children. The
harvest marks the end of the "lean season," [...]
