Store Line Settlement For Free

Any weapons, apparel, aid, misc or ammo isn't shared. This also apply to things you build. You will only have them available in the settlement you built it.

Find a settler, load them up with the stuff you want to move, move them to that settlement. Wait for them to arrive, take it back. Rinse, repeat. Find a settler, load them up with the stuff you want to move, move them to that settlement.

With the Local Leader perk, just open the workshop, highlight a settler, and click the supply line button. Then, choose what settlement you want them to supply and boom, the supply line is created.
