Better to stock up on lighters.
Only an idiot would barter booze, you want them to come back demanding more? I dont understand the whole barter thing. Whatever you want to barter booze for just buy it instead, shit.
Alcohol is a fixed value at least. What would we buy things with? Money is worthless
Why would you spend money on something you want to trade for later instead of just getting it now? And actually alcohol is easy to make, corn is cheap.
Oh I see what you mean. Yeah I guess I'd barter for services later rather than goods
How does one stockpile pussy?
get married and its a sure thing once a month.
If you're buying for a SHTF barter scenario, I wouldn't bother with quality, at least for most of it. If people are desperate enough to trade goods for booze, they likely won't care if it's top shelf. Maybe keep a couple of bottles of good stuff if you're bartering with someone who knows what it is and the deal merits it.
Yes.
Better to just build out your own bar. Then you have a variety of goods to trade.
I don't really suppose it matters much. I doubt anyoune bartering for booze is looking for quality
Bourbon and Vodka seem sufficient
Some Everclear for medicinal use
My understanding is that most people in SHTF scenarios aren't bardering alcohol for consumption purposes. Beam would meet most basic needs.
Vodka and everclear are some more great options. It doesn't need to be top shelf. Think sterilization.
I would also suggest if you haven't already, research previous conflicts and get a good picture of how bardering worked for folks in those situations. It's not pretty or easy.
Things like how many people are in your immediate group and ensuring they are armed and proficiant, etc... become a lot more important than bardering to be honest.
Bardering is Russian roulette and should only occur in life and death situations if you want to make it to the end of the end of the end game.
Stock the booze for your own uses, avoid having to barder IMO.
Single families get wiped out extremely easily in SHTF situations and unless you have the ability to fight off the hordes that WILL find you, it will all be for nothing.
I don’t think it’s stupid. You can get farm equipment for beads and shiny trinkets. Imagine what booze can get you.
