Thanks for your kind reply. I am a little amazed at how much your situation mirrors our own.
We have 10 acres, 3/4 of which is wooded. There’s a running creek at the bottom of the hill and a large creek about a half-mile down the road. We are also close to the Delaware River. We have a deep well and private septic. (I have been looking at hand pumps and generators lately.)
Our parcel is next to a huge state park where they occasionally hold “deer hunts” because the deer population gets out of control. There’s plenty of other critters around, too, although I can’t see eating anything other than the ducks and turkeys, if we have to. We also have a vegetable garden and a 2200 btu cast-iron wood stove with a cooktop grate and a removable ashtray so we never have to let the fire die. Of course, we have all the free fuel (mostly ash trees) we will ever need for the stove. I’ve got rifles, guns, ammo, and big dogs.
And by the way, I just now walked back from the chicken coop with three eggs. It’s cooling down around here these days and the egg production will be dropping off soon.
I can’t say we are totally prepared for economic apocalypse, but we are ahead of the game, I think.
FRegards,

That’s how I see it.
