I'm very new to this way of thinking, and have probably only been to a tenth of the good websites out there, but I was wondering if anywhere there is a good bartering/services swapping site listed for like minded people. I'm a civil engineer with lots of experience in low tech construction (thanks Afghanistan!) and water, sewer and structural issues. My brother is a master mechanic, we'd each like to see if there is a place where we could swap our expertise for some of the goods/other services we need to get our survival plans jumpstarted.
No need for a formal SWAP, Many of us will answer questions because we like to pass on our Institutional Knowledge. Just ask your questions, and see how this place works.....
We were actually more wanting to help out others with any questions they had. Maybe we could have a list of people and there "expertise" so if someone has a question they know who to message.
