We still have windmills. We have large electric generators. We have fuel storage. Grain storage. And yes, it would still be very tough. My ancestors survived here with much much less for a long time. They came to this county in 1889. Weathered a similar drought from 1895-1898. Yes, we have seen this weather pattern before.
The AGW crowd are nothing but con-artists.
I do not look for need for total self sufficiency to be necessary, but we could be if we had to.
There is wild game here, my brother has chickens, we normally have cattle but sold them 3 years ago. Probably will rebuy some this year. Drought is receding but not over yet.
I agree. People have lived for thousands of years on this earth without electricity, cars, washing machines, air conditioners.
Heck I remember when the ice box was a modern convenience.LOL
Yes, you will survive. Have the real estate to raise animals is a key advantage, plus the ability to see intruders at a distance. My grandparents hit MN in 1878, and we still have the farm, albeit considerably downsized. We were raised there and like you lived through all sorts of life experiences. If we had to we’d head back there to make a go of it. :-)

Sorry for ignorance...please, what is AGW?
