But look what happened. We are already in a war world where every day is a battle to hang on to what is in place. And you think I haven't studied up on those tactics? And won't use them with my overwhelming force of greedy and borderline insane soldiers, armed to the teeth with the provisions we took from the nearby military bases while you were hunkering down planting seeds? One Hellfire from my stolen drones and your compound is toast. You think I can't get geeks to join when I tell them they will rule the world and have all the chicks they want?
It is fun to imagine, but it just isn't a scenario that a rational person needs to plan for.
The world isn't going back to the medieval days -- Mad Max won't be the situation and if it is, the OP and follow up posts aren't going to be any help.
Self-reliance is a good supplemental idea and may be of help in some disasters. But as a plan for "after the collapse" it is pointless.
No, we aren't. A world war is millions of people dying of disease or internal goverment action, and then the battlefield casualties, (see 1910s, 1940s) We're in limited actions.
Yes, I think you haven't studied tactics, or even strategy, or more importantly, logistics.
You don't have the technical skill-sets to steal a drone or fire a hell-fire missile.
And if you do, you get no food, or people to grow it for you.
And geeks today get plenty of wimmen, if they want them.
Just how long do you think it takes to plant a few acres? Months? NOT.
There is no hunkering with planting. It's just one more chore, like killing wild dogs in the forest.
