I am surely no doom-and-gloomer, but I got a real bad feeling:

Private well and septic - check
Several acres of fertile ground - check
Several acres of woods, plenty of deer and other edible creatures - check
Big cast-iron woodstove with cooktop for heat and cooking - check
Relatively little debt and only a small mortgage - check
Shotguns, rifles, handguns, ammo - check

Okay. Bring on the economic meltdown.

One thing missing on your list is medical self-sufficiency. A real tough one, unless you live in a commune staffed with ex-ER and pharmacy personnel, and associated matériel. I hope at least your well pump runs on solar or another alternative source. Grid power will be subject to easy sabotage.
