I think the best place to be in the event of economic collapse is the small towns of America. We already have a local network of trusted contacts that are themselves interconnected with surrounding small towns.
Our DIL that lives in Texas chirped that if everything went bad, they were coming to our house. I looked at her and without missing a beat, gently said "that is not a plan". She innocently asked what I meant and I told her that my stores and my skills were going to take care of us, and that while we would never turn our backs on any of the kids or grandkids, relying on what we've done to prepare was not a viable plan for them.
I think it set her and the oldest son to thinking about things that had never before entered their minds.
I agree CC. We live in a small town community surrounded by farms and we know everybody. We have some Amish also living nearby. We an learn from them too. Though we live in downtown in one of those old main street houses, we have any number of friends on those farms who would be happy to share what they have with us. They already do. Hubby came home from church last night with Zucinni, squash, cucumbers, banana peppers and sweet peppers. Tomatoes will be coming next week.
