You could also call this “the top 100 things you should start stocking up on” for any survivalist scenario (doomsday, government shutdown, etc). Even if you don’t need more than 2 (you should always have 2 of everything) each item on this list will be great for bartering. The list is in no particular order.

Stockpiling can be a challenge. What should you include? How much of each item to include? Where to store everything? All tough questions.
