And we will spread our system to those outside our neighborhood.
If we can survive as a group...we can survive.
FUBO!
To a large extent, I feed myself through my own efforts. I do buy some stuff at grocery stores (Port Salut cheese and Cotes du Rhone pop to mind), but the bulk, I grow or forage.
I can eat for a year off the land without burning a single round of ammo.
Heck, last week, I had 2 meals of asparagus out of the garden and a couple of salads without firing a single shot.
Skillsets are more important than ammo.

Do you get a good response from your neighbors? What kind of a neighborhood do you live in?
I, too, have thought that the key to survival in many places could well be that the people are almost all prepared so they can hold together and not panic. If you can have your own ecosystem already set up for that scenario, in which everybody in the immediate neighborhood has a place and can have their needs met, you can help build back up.
