Not a dealer, but I'd be willing to swap some of my extra weaponry for PM's.

If the SHTF really badly (ie. MadMax situation), MANY things will be worth more than gold and silver.

In order of importance and survival, here's my list:

1. Water
2. Food
3. Guns and ammo
4. Clothing
5. Shelter
6. Booze and cigerettes (and I do not smoke or drink)
7. Gold and silver

Interested to hear what you guys think.

Donald Trump just recently took a deposit for one of his rental units in the Trump Towers in gold bars. Who paid in gold bars you ask? The one and only APMEX. Ha

If I'm trying to survive and survive only precious metals don't have much use to me, same with alcohol and tobacco.

Depends what type of "survival situation" you're talking about though.

I hear the guys at my #1 gunshop talking metals quite a lot. While not their advertised policy, I'm pretty sure they could be enticed without much trouble.

There are times in history when booze and cigarettes were worth their weight in gold. The Spanish flu pandemic in 1918 was one. That was just at the height of the prohibition movement, so disinfectant alcohol was very hard to find. A fifth of moonshine sold for an once of gold. Cigarettes were so scarce in post WW2 Europe, the cig addicts would pay for them in gold.

Tobacco is the most effective mosquito repellent in the natural world. Tobacco seeds would be good to have in a long term SHTF scenario to ward off mosquito borne sickness like malaria.

Silver and gold would be best for a post SHTF world, when you need capitol to rebuild.

How do you use tobacco to repel mosquitoes?

As a side note, I'd heard that Pennyroyal oil was a bug repellent. As far as I could tell the one time I tried it, it seemed to draw biting gnats.

My buddy has taken pennies and nickles for guns, no not from me although I did buy the pennies, so I know he would take silver or gold because he knows I would buy it from him.

Deal
I plead the 2nd....

All forms of tobacco will repel mosquitoes and some other insects. I used to use it as an alternative to toxic insect repellents. Hard to say which one was more toxic. :? Why it repels the skeeters, I am not sure. I just know it does.

You can burn tobacco on a fire and the smoke repels the bugs. Smoke it and it does the same thing. Smoking or chewing allows the body to absorb the tobacco, then your sweat glands secrete some of it out onto you skin. You can make a tea from the leaves and apply it to your skin.

Tobacco tea is also a good spray to repel bugs on veggies.

If it were not for tobacco, European settlers would have not been able to live here in the 1600's. That is mostly why it was such an important cash crop back in that era.

I can barter with gold, silver, & booze for many things right now. There is no reason why I couldn't buy guns with them. All you need is someone on the other side of the trade willing to do the deal.

Here is a short list of what I have done so far:

3 acres of land with barn and mobile home.
survey work
tree trimming work

So if I go to pick up an empty and discover it's a "full" should I hang onto that as a barter item?
One can of beer slightly dented. :D

Less likely to find cigarettes that way. ;)

I'd trade some of my silver for a S&W M&P 9mm compact safety or maybe a 3rd gen glock 19 :)

You must taste good to them! :lol:

Seeds for Insecticide/Pesticide Plants

Mountain Tobacco Nicotinia Attenuata.
A graceful and ornamental species with white inch long flowers flushed pink outside. It is a night blooming annual that grows to 4-5 ft. with pointed leaves. A very popular tobacco with the Navajo Indians. It is an all purpose plant. I recommend using it as an ornamental, filler and pesticide base. To make the perfect garden pesticide, mix 1teaspoon of powdered dried leaves with one teaspoon of dishwashing detergent into one gallon of water. Apply with sprayer.

Jack, I don't know why you still get bit by mosquitoes. Once I went 60 days without any coffee and had long quit smoking. I visited my son at his Boy Scout Summer Camp out in the boonies. Did I ever get swarmed by all kinds of biting, stinging insects. I didn't bring any insect repellent, for I normally didn't need it. (Guess it was the strong coffee I normally drink) Any way, I got so annoyed by the bugs, I finally asked every adult in camp if anyone had some cigarettes I could smoke... NONE! One man had an old cigar in his truck from a new baby birth. It was like 6 months old and really stale. I took it and lit it up. Too stale and strong to inhale. I just sucked in a mouthfuls of smoke and blew it on my entire body until it was all gone. No more bugs the rest of the evening. I slept under the stars without any problems.

I just looked up tobacco as an insect repellent on the 'net. Not much there. I will do more research to back up what I am saying and PM you when I got the cure. ;)

My bud has a 3rd gen 19. I prefer the 30SF... smaller frame, but packs big knock down power. My fav home defense weapons are my Mossy 590 (pistol grip) and my AR-15. My next toy may be an AK-74.

Guns are fun, but they tend to scare many of my family members. Most of my immediate family members are way too liberal, but I bet I'll be the first person they run to when the SHTF.

Got to shoot a full auto AK-74 a while back with the muzzle brake off. Could not even see the target because of the huge flame coming out of the barrel. Most fun thing I have ever shot.

I don't like the 5.45 round really. On an AK, I'll take the good 'ole fashioned 7.62. Like this:

I figure with 13 magazines, who needs full auto, hehe.
