Today we go long talking all about how to scavenge for fun and profit. Scavenging is defined as searching for and collecting usable items from waste.
The old saying one man’s trash is another man’s treasure comes to mind. What you may find value in is completely different to another.
We begin by talking about how to can begin to develop your carving skills now while times are good.
Up first on how to scavenge is dumpster diving. I have personally gone dumpster diving many times with great results.
Just to mention it dumpster diving is not exactly legal. There are a few rules to follow to ensure that you will have little to no issues. There is an entire community of Dumpster Divers this site has some helpful info on it.
Want to know how to scavenge easily? We talk about using the free section on Craigslist to get some great stuff. We open up the Nashville Craigslist Free section and read off a few of the items. Mike was blown away by the free sections.

This week we tried something new. We recorded a Facebook Live Chat And Q&A . We used the Survival Punk Facebook Page and The Survivalpunk Punks Group.
Well, it was supposed to be a Q&A episode anyway. We didn’t get many questions but had fun with those that showed up.
With that said the facebook live app crashed twice. The video quality was bad and laggy.
We had several announcements to make in this Facebook Live Chat as well.
A batch of Survivalpunk stickers will be in shortly. I will have some to give away and to sale. The price should be $1 with free shipping.
I was interviewed on the In The Rabbit Hole Podcast recently. The episode has not gone live, but check them out.
Looking for Some great Christmas gifts? Check out the Holiday Gift guide I did. Have a suggestion for it? Drop a link in the comments or email me.
We maybe do more of these Facebook Live Chat sessions if you guys like it. We are going to do monthly chats for memebers. Though probably not facebook live. With the bugginess we experienced.

Today Mike and I talk about What are the best barter items for SHTF. We change up the format and dig deep into the main topic. No news this episode.
Also, there won’t be an All geared up with Couch Potato Mike this week. Since he was salty all episode long.
We disagree on the storage of Precious Metals. Mike says that it is a stand-in for money. I.e you are not bartering with gold and silver you are buying.
I stand behind using precious metals being a barter item. Bartering is between two people without a government needing to be involved.
We talk about many of the well-known barter items. The things that pop to mind easily. We also cover a few less talked about items.
Barter items basically come down to two categories. Needs and wants.
Early on in an SHTF scenario needs will be most important. People will need food, gas, and medical supplies.
Once Things calm down, even a little, the wants will rule. During the great depression movie, theatres were filled. They had little to no money and still spent it on entertainment over needs. This is a valuable lesson.
Yes, you should stock up on needed items for barter. You should also store wants, vices, and addictions to barter with.
Alcohol, tobacco and titty mags will all have high barter value. The porn industry is not as big as it is without a reason.
