The problem I see is that no matter what you do to prepare yourself and your family for the SHTF, you still have to be able to defend your supplies from the mobs. There is no practical way to do that on your own. If you live with a day’s walk of a large city, forget all the normal rules of civilization. The “entitled” will pour out like a wave of army ants devouring all in their path and your careful preparation will be swept away. Whoever is left will best be served by a fuedal system.
Laugh if you will, but the best scenario analogy may be a zombie infestation. Large hungry mobs roaming aimlessly only looking to bite.
“you still have to be able to defend your supplies from the mobs. “
if you can inflict enough pain they will move on to other softer targets.
and I will.
