1/
Nothing makes me laugh more than "preppers" who may or may not have a can of survival seeds in their "bug out bag", and/or a plan like "I'll head out to the country with my AR-15 and start farming".

2/ Those of us with hand tools, wells, hoses, weed barrier, fencing, seeds on hand, trellises, tractors, greenhouses, etc. MIGHT pull through...BARELY. ...and it will involve an INSANE amount of work and a LOT of lost weight as we stretch the thin rations to get through winter

3/ One bad frost, one screw up with seeds, one invasion of Colorado Potato Beetle, and we might end up as skeletons alongside all the others.

4/ Suburbanite guys who head out into the country with a tin can of seeds - with no hoes, no shovels, no buckets, no hoses, no rototillers, no picks, no axes, no tractors, no seed potatoes, no insecticide, no weed barrier... they're either going to starve or turn brigand

5/ If we ever got a TRUE civilization-ending SHTF moment, I figure that 80-90% of people are going to die of starvation, and another 5-10% are going to be killed by "preppers" who have 3 meals and 3,000 rounds of ammo in their survival kits.

6/ It'll all make perfect sense "Farmer, I'll work for food" no, don't have enough to share, go away "Farmer, don't make me" <gun fight> either: A) "prepper" dead, or B) farmer dead and "prepper" now inherits tools and land...and still doesn't know how to use them

8/ Here's a cheap prepper plan for the 0.01% scenario: * rent a small storage unit way way out * fill it with 1 year of food for you & yours * put a few cots, sleeping bags, and maybe a wood stove in it If SHTF, get out of the city, go there, camp out.

9/ Better to be out near a small community and then be in a position to offer to help. "Hey, I've already got enough food for me and mine...you guys need any help clearing roads / guarding things?"

10/ You'd probably have a chance to upgrade lodgings in short order. Guaranteed that - if you've got your own food - someone will suggest that 80yo widow Jones with a 4 bedroom house, a wood stove, and an old barn could use someone to split wood and keep house for her.

11/ and - again, if you've got your own food, and offering a hand, not looking for a handout, I can easily imagine that you'd be able to trade some work for a set of borrowed tools. Or scout & bring back 50 gal of diesel and get the use of a tractor for a week or two in trade.

Replying to @MorlockP
Yeah, nothing is going down like that. People reading too much apocalypse fiction. Anybody really thinks that needs to be working a farm right now. And not in Vermont. PA, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa. There's the farmland.
