Exactly.
I’m not a fan of the lone prepper model anyway. It runs counter to just about every survival scenario I can think of. Survival is always easier in a group (up to a point).
I prefer the small town model. I’m on friendly terms with pretty much everyone in my very small town and have lots of strong ties to people in a dozen other small towns around plus nearly as many people in between.
I don't know anyone.
I should be okay, right?
