I've been working pretty hard learning how to grow and store my own food, inside and out. I am in no way ready to survive even a few months if my access to supplies is cut off, but every year I produce and preserve a bit more, learn more about the wild foods all around us. I live in the center of a small town, quite congested for small towns, and am surrounded by people who think the way I do, many of whom are growing food in their tiny back yards. Even if things do not get so bad, growing my own food has benefits of many kinds.
My weakest point is in the heat - I have nothing but one slingshot I don't know how to use as a weapon. I keep saying I'm going to fix that weakness, but so far have done nothing to see it through.
I would not want to live in a world that required such efforts as you describe. We create our realities via our imaginations to a very large extent, so I am envisioning a future that, while turbulent, will not require luxury bunkers for me and my loves to see another day.
The most important thing to do now is to say no. I believe once you step onto this path, you activate a protective field, a plasma of sorts, around yourself. Options become clear. What you need comes, and you can provide what others need. Just refuse. The more of us who do this, the more powerful we all are.
This is certainly true in the case of government mandates that happened during the Covid hysteria in my neck of the woods. We just decided as a community that we weren't going to comply and that was basically the end of it.
I remember that your county did that. I hope I can convince mine to go that direction. Not likely the county will, but I have heard from several who complied last time that they won't do it again.
grab yourself a gerber strong arm knife, you won't regret it.
