with that attitude you're sure to get a warm welcome from your neighbors. remember there's no such thing as "self sufficiency", you need a community. good luck.

Facts, community is key in survival and a huge part of the culture here.

Community of likeminded individuals with useful skills. Nobody wants regular Joe-shmoe's wasting their resources.

Yeah the "self sufficiency" thing is kinda bs. More of a fantasy prepper types have. If there was a societal collapse (unlikely) people who work together as small communities will probably be the ones who thrive. Prepper types will either run out of their rations and homestead types would just get taken over by said communities lmao. Also some dude from long island is not gonna have a self sufficient farm in VT. Especially after climate collapse.

There really has never been a time in history where solitary humans were the ones that thrived.
