How do the Outcasts trade their goods?
Unlike the Warriors, the Outcasts are able to have a consistent, though closed economy for themselves. Of course, this secret trading system consists of items mostly obtained illegally, and they use stolen money as their currency besides direct trade. Not strictly regulated by the leaders, the Outcasts manage a simple free market at the Gathering and Solstice Festivals.
Food
Hunted game is rarely traded from lack of proper refrigeration at the Gathering Place, and other sanitary reasons. Instead, the Outcasts prefer to sell any extra Domestic food, including:
Cereal
Bread
Chips
Crackers
Cookies
Sausages
Ground Beef
Bacon
Canned soup
Beans
Marshmallows
Candy
Skins and Furs
After hunting an animal, the Outcasts make use of its hide. Furs of smaller animals are knit together to make larger items.
Bear/Deer Rugs, Blankets, and Capes
Squirrel/Rabbit/Coyote Scarves
Clothing
After a while, stolen clothing may not fit a certain Outcast any more, or has proven to be too big. Winter clothing is traded especially.
Beanies/Winter Hats/Ear Muffs/Scarves
Winter Coats
Jackets
Hoodies
Sweatshirts
Tops (General)
Jeans/Leggings
Socks
Winter Boots
Hiking Boots
Tennis Shoes
Jewelry and Ornaments
As small ways to express themselves, the Outcasts like to wear jewelry and "Ornaments" (items for the hair) at the Solstice Festival and even at the Gathering, sometimes. They usually pertain to the elements of the Yosemite wilderness, especially animals and flowers. Some parts are made of Domestic materials, but most beads used are carved out of wood.
Flower Crowns
Ornaments
Necklaces
Bracelets
Rings
Tools
The Outcasts mostly use homemade tools made from stone.
Archery
Shovels
Pocket Knives
Axes
Lighters/Flint and Steel
Flashlights

Illegal items:
The market isn't 100% unregulated by the leaders. There are types of items that the Outcasts are not allowed to even possess, let alone trade.
Firearms and Ammunition
This has an obvious reason: guns are loud and they kill people. Not only are Outcasts not allowed to deliberately kill each other, but the sound of a gunshot can also give away their position to park staff, who know that guns aren't permitted in Yosemite in the first place. Thankfully, since visitors know not to bring them along on their trips, guns have never been very accessible to the Outcasts.
Explosives
What sane Outcast would set off a bomb? Destroying the environment in which they live goes against the Outcasts' philosophy altogether, even if it were Domestic property such as the Ahwahnee.
Gasoline
The Outcasts don't have much reason to possess this at all, but gasoline is illegal due to its flammability. It wouldn't be difficult to start a wildfire if someone accidentally spilled it near the fire pit.
Flares
Though flares could have use during war times or in case a natural disaster struck, the Outcasts may not use them. Like guns, they are loud, and also very bright, easily giving away their position to Domestics.
Recreational Drugs
Besides medicine used by the nurse, no drugs may be used due to the disruption they would cause to the Outcasts psychologically.
Electronics
The Outcasts' camps have no electricity, no point in bringing your phone! Even if electronics did work out there, the Outcasts wouldn't be permitted to use the Internet in fear of any tracking by the government.
Park Ranger/Police Officer/Other Staff Uniforms
A weird idea, but the Outcasts may not take and wear any part of the uniforms of park staff. If tourists, and especially staff saw them, it would look more than suspicious.
Meat or Skins of the Sierra Nevada Red Fox
Rediscovered after 100 years in 2015, the Sierra Nevada red fox is an extreme rarity in Yosemite. In hopes to help their population grow, the Outcasts may not hunt them.
Meat or Skins of the Bighorn Sheep
The Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep have been taken from other regions and redistributed throughout the park after an absence for over a century. Their populations in the mountains are still weak, and no matter how hungry the Outcasts may be, they must put the recovery of this species first.
