Learning what you need, getting it or learning how to create it and then learning how to use it is the best advice. Then comes being able and willing to defend what you have. Most places in rural America are preferable to urban areas anywhere.

If a real SHTF scenario happens, that money in your mattress won't help much ...in the bank even less.

That’s what I’m thinking too. I live in a rural area that is largely social conservatives. Best type of place to hunker down and try to survive.
