Trade! Two words, "Screw" and "That." The idea of humping something you don't intent to use and may or maynot be able to utilize in a trade. Forget it.
As they say on those Survivorman and the other half dozen shows. Items you multi task. Smokes, I was partial to Marlboro Lights back in the day but also did Reds and sometimes Newports. Not gonna hump something I won't use. I got a couple extra packs they can be bartered. If not, I use em.
Batteries, "AA's" were always worth their weight in gold. A high value item, you could use for your walkman, minimag, gameboy, NVGs, camera, and so did everyone else too. So, a good item to have, trade it but if not you can still use it.
Or Paul, did you just do lines of instant? You sick boy you
