Bartering
In a crisis scenario when supplies are low and your preparations are limited, bartering can be a valuable method of obtaining the means for survival.
Bartering for survival is a practice in which two or more people trade goods or services with one another in order to survive. It is a form of trade that does not involve money or currency. Bartering for survival is often used in times of economic hardship or natural disaster, when other forms of exchange are not available. People may barter for food, shelter, clothing, medicine, tools, and other essential items. It is an effective way to provide for yourself and your family when resources are difficult to obtain.
