Non-food doomsday barter items. outside the box ideas. What's yours?

That's where I'm going too, if we are off grid, can't charge the laptops and read all of the e-books I have downloaded, then only paper is real. I have enough for me and the wife, the kids don't prep yet. If I gotta support them, it might get tight after about a 3-4 month period. Been prepping long, but don't have the money for sooo much yet either. Won't be bartering too soon except for knowledge, maybe I could get a few things in payment for a survival class. Need to think about this...GP

I have an extensive library of survival and prepping type books, I don't file anything on my computer as I wont be able to charge it post SHTF, I prefer actual books anyway and these will be usable long after any ebook has gone the way of the dinosaurs.

Well, I have civilian and military books and Field manuals on survival, guerilla warfare, incendiaries and then the usual mushroom, healing plants and salves, then the trapping, field dressings, medical, waterfiltering and navigation stuff. But nowhere near the thousands of pages of stuff on the notebook. If it survives the EMP as planned, I can charge it up easily with solar, generator or windmill. But paper is better, like you said. GP
