Not to mention the fact that it takes a LOT OF CROPS to come up with the 2,000 calories per day that a person needs. Try doing the math sometime.

I did the math once. I'd have to dig out my spreadsheets to check, but if I remember right it was around 1500 square feet per person, assuming the soil was decent. Although, that was for a very specific list of crops, calculated for maximum nutrition. Most people don't eat like that.

people will have to raise their own chickens, both for eggs and meat, or their own pigs, cows etc...where they'll get the feed I don't know....so many questions....

but its clear that even with a million deer running around they will not last...

Yea, it can be pretty rough, particularly if you plan to set it up after things go south. Forget a shovel, and it’s over. Break a shovel, and it’s over. I can see a lot of people trying and failing.
