I’m thinking either Bic lighters or cigarettes, just to trade

All you big brains saying water.

My first thought was soybeans, since they're so versatile. Or corn for the same reason. Granted, I don't have any way to process them so I didn't think it through.

But a food source that also provides water would be a good idea. Watermelon is too sweet to be your primary food though.

    Potatoes are the best. Easy to grow in marginal soil, varied ways to cook them, and they store easily long term in a simple root cellar.

    Add in some squash like pumpkins which have the same advantages and you should be good to go.

    Ive heard if you need to survive, potatoes, radishes, and beans do really well.

    Personally ive had more luck with radishes and beans. They grow quick in just about anything. I keep killing my Potatos!

    You can make pretty nice savoury dishes with watermelon.
