WHAT IS A TRADE BLANKET?
The trade blanket is an opportunity for people trade any sort of items with one another. The person initiating the trade then looks at the items placed on the blanket (greenbacks, aka money, can be offered but items are preferred). They can accept an offer or reject all offers. If a trade is made, the object(s) is/are traded to each with a handshake. It is best to bring several items of varying “value” to the trade blanket so that you can trade at all levels, or so that you can add smaller items to a large item to “sweeten the deal.”
