so who says you have to STAY in NC, for starters? Google for where it's at. CA still has some, other NW states, too. ALaska is the main source, but only for the 4 month "summer, spring, fall". :-) No trading material will mean a thing for a year after shtf, you won't dare show yourself. then the trade will all be in veternary powder meds, for a year or so, then MAYBE gold and silver will start to have trade value, but .22lr ammo is likely to be more in demand, altho the animals will be gone the first 1-2 months of shtf. 22 bullet in you means death without modern health care, and .22's are easily silenced, and the ammo is easily cached today. Nobody will be wanting to carry anything heavier or harder to find ammo for.
