I’m still reading to see if anyone yet has figured out a barter item that is worth more than its weight in gold, and that many of us have on hand. Hint; it’s under lock and key in pharmacies and doctor’s offices.
My wife has pain killers beta-blockers, and tranquilizers that she uses in less than prescribed doses. We reorder when we calculate that the stuff wound be gone if used to maximum dosage. We stay ahead.
Takes up very little space, light weight, and I’ll bet it’s literally more valuable than gold in SHTF.

I’m very okay in that department and I think you are right. I was an EMT so have medical supplies. These will come in handy after a crisis if there are sick or wounded friends or others.
“CELOX” stops bleeding from large wounds. Steri-strips will close a wound that, under normal circumstances, would need stitches.
Also, some drug stores, like Walgreens, has automatic refill so your prescriptions are refilled as soon as they can be. This helps to have extras all the time.
