Bunnies are good eating, but low fat--too lean to live off of unless you have fat bunnies (8^D). Meds can be a problem, if you can't find a growable herbal alternative.

Any fish in the ponds?

(BTW, think about Michigan, then think about all the firewood you won't have to haul...)

Consider, too, that we aren't all going to be out there surviving alone. Small communities are the ticket--even in rural areas, and if, for instance, you could watch a neighbor's little kids while they were farming/hunting/fishing/whatever, you might be able to trade that. Skills are important, and depending on your skill set, might be valuable (teaching youngsters to read and write, for example, or to repair things as they get older.) Think outside the box, and see what you can come up with.

The bottom line in surviving is to find a way and never give up.

Good advice, SJ. I hope we can put this apocalypse off for the next decade or so. I’m not that confident that we can.
