“Or a currency of canned goods. 1 can of Danish Ham = 6 cans of tuna = 12 cans of peaches = 18 cans of beans & weenies = 36 cans of Puppy Chow.”

I was with you JJ, till I got to 18 cans of beans & weenies = 36 cans of Puppy Chow… my first thought was “no way am I gonna start eating dog food”… then it hit me (after a chuckle or two) that having dogs will be an advantage to anyone having to barter and make do with the fruit of the land… a couple of years ago we in the north ‘burbs of Atlanta were overrun with rabbits – this year I’ve regularly seen deer grazing beside residential roadways that pass THROUGH the metro area… at high noon.

I reckon it might help to have the right kind of dog, eh? Along with a .22 varmit rifle along with, maybe a .308 for the larger food items.

It’s hard to see this ending without trouble. Wish I lived further out of the metro area.
