Islands seem like a great idea at first. I know I’ve dreamed about having one. But if the SHTF, people will be stealing boats and acting like vikings. An island might start to feel like a seige prison, and that’s if you are vigilant with any defenses you were smart enough to prepare with.
Oh and good luck maintaining those supply lines. heh.
The moslem - Barbary pirates roamed the Mediterranean Sea look for slaves to grab . Then, expanded their raping, etc. expanded to Ireland and beyond.
Being so easily accessible from the ocean by pirates may not be the best idea long-term.

A client of mine owned a house on an island in Northern Michigan. When they were gone it was constantly broken in. Mosty young kids drinking on the lake. They eventually hired someone to house sit.
He invited us to stay for a weekend. After a day or so it was boring. It took 20 minutes of boat time and then get into a car for another 20 minutes to get to the closest decent store for food.
Yep. How many of these billionaires know how to grow their own crops and raise their own livestock? When there is nothing to buy and no servants to clean the toilets then what?
