“A ‘community’ is far better able to defend itself, keep its resources (and if evil, even take the resources of others) better than a Lone Ranger.”
Well said! One reason I feel confident we can endure whatever Mother Government throws at us is this: I live in a ‘community’ of our farm and four others, filled with god-fearing, hardworking, talented and generous people. One is an ex-Amish guy, so he KNOWS how to ‘do stuff’ better than any of us. And everyone can shoot straight - even the kids! ;)
Between us, we have thousands of acres of land and the talent and means to keep ourselves supplied with fruits, vegetables, foraging, meat animals, eggs and milk.
Other than someone burning us out, we should be OK.
Note to self: Continue to reinforce that northern perimeter! ;)
I envy you...
If you can find a copy of “A Failure of Civility”, buy it.

You know what bothers me that I have not figured out how to resolve?
The very real possibility of getting dry-gulched on my way out to the shed.
It’s a security problem for sure. Dogs don’t really solve it in the long run, hell one bad hot dog the night before takes them out of the fight.
I have been thinking about a drone solution. And if one doesn’t exist... maybe designing a solution. Then you just don’t go to the shed when the weather is bad.
Anyway, just thinking out loud...
You are in a very fortunate situation.
