Negotiating For Survival: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide On How To Trade, Barter, and Negotiate In A Grid Down Disaster Scenario Paperback - 2017

We have all heard of ways that could lead to a post apocalyptic world. A zombie outbreak that rapidly takes over the world, or some other mutant strain of a seemingly harmless virus that spreads through the air killing millions of people. Whether it be a series of natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, hurricanes, etc), or a pandemic threat spreads throughout the world, or even a picture perfect textbook zombie outbreak, the prospect is frightening and yet alluring. The possibilities for the "end of the world" don't just stop there. Nuclear war is a very serious and a very real threat to our civilization, as well as an asteroid smashing into the earth. Regardless of what could ultimately bring civilization to its knees, it is a very real and frightening prospect. Surviving the worldwide disaster is just the beginning. After it's all over, we are left with the pieces of what once was and we must learn how to adapt to a whole new world. We take for granted a lot of what we have, technology, government, prepackaged food, not to mention the surplus of food, retail stores, clothing, and so much more. All of these things will be gone in this new world. Even gasoline will oxidize and become useless. Maybe not right away, but over time all of the resources left from civilization as we know it now, will dwindle and eventually vanish. The only way to survive is to acquire skills in which compensate for these losses. There are two enormous factors that people seem to overlook when they think about the "end of the world". We currently live in a world where we have forgotten how to feed ourselves, all of our nutrients and vitamins are included in many of our store bought food thanks to the FDA. Maybe people think hunting will be they're golden ticket, however, many of the necessary nutrients and vitamins that we consume on a daily basis will not be met by a meat diet. Kids are no longer taught what foods give us what nutrients and minerals, or how much of each we need daily. Without key nutrients like iron, iodine, vitamin A, zinc, etc, you're in for some frightening consequences such as anemia, rashes, and decreased functioning of the immune system. This brings me to the second factor, disease. We take for granted our access to vaccines and medications. Without these being readily available many people will succumb to disease and infections. These factors and more only perpetuate the need to learn how to barter and negotiate. Trading things you have for things you need is a basic concept that has been around for years. By knowing the ins and outs of this seemingly lost art you will have the advantage in a post-apocalyptical world. Do you need antibiotics for a nasty cut or seeds to start farming? Trade for it. The subjects this book will cover include the following: -The Importance of Learning Bartering/Negotiating Techniques -How to Negotiate A Successful and Peaceful Trade -The Most Valuable Bartering Items to Stockpile -The Risks of Conducting Business In A World Without Rules -Negotiation/Bartering Mistakes to Avoid By knowing how and what to barter and trade it will open up possibilities and ensure a much greater chance at surviving this cold and quiet new world. Learning this simple skill will not only help you survive but thrive in a seemingly hopeless grid down scenario.
