Couple of clarifying questions:

(1) Is this first contact, or later on when the trade has had a chance to develop?

(2) How far post-apocalypse are we? Years, decades, generations, centuries, millennia?

In the case of first contact, it might be useful to think in terms of reciprocal theft: what could you steal from a hut on the shore (assuming it was close enough to reach without drying out), and what could you leave in its place?
