There is usually a surprise then smile, occasionally some one will ask to pay but I assure them that I am fabulously wealthy and won't take their money. We have received fresh salmon and halibut and I was happy to keep as a gift, but not to trade. The best was making fresh cookies and rowing in to a remote camping area of Vancouver Island's west coast trail and handing out warm cookies. For the cost of some cookie dough I get a smile every time I think of those tough hikers melting into those cookies.
