In my research a small community seems like the best model. Sure is tough finding one with the right people though.
The article raises some good points though.
You do with what you have. You adapt you over come. Sure living in a little town full of preppers has the best chance, unless you are lucky or independently wealth such is very tough to find and make work. Who knows you getting your own land maybe the start of such a place. That’s basically what my plan is.
