You might be surprised how much you can still do. If nothing else, you can at least prolong their suffering a little.

No they don't, they just need government if they want to settle disputes civilly and without violence.
Note to self: Self, do NOT eat on the night it's Okie4570's turn to cook Sunday supper. Lol
Lot of folk don't know the answers to these questions. Cows per acre will vary from tract to tract. Some 10 acre patches on river bottom may easily handle 3 cow/calf pairs just fine for year or 2 and then a few big spring rains and it is under water. Now what?
Hunting-- some think its free freezer filling meat and infinite supply. Can't be more wrong!
Already planned that, Thunderdome and That gurl and I are 2/3rds of a triumvirate. We would get whacked rather quickly, but have fun in the mean time.
Really though, if the need ever came, it would be awful. Death and chaos everywhere. Have no desire to be a part of it. We are so interdependent on each other. Even the off grid homesteaders depend on others for a lot. Stuff will break, supplies will run out.
I'll miss A/C. Otherwise, I think I could do it... maybe. But, sleeping without A/C or a fan would take some getting use to, for sure!
Yep a doc would be high on the list of must haves. Also would be a great resource for bringing in food from outside people bartering for his services. Also mechanics, farmers, pretty much any real skills.
As far as females not getting along under the same roof, that is why everyone needs they own home. The large central home (fortress) is a last ditch hold out and community center type thing. Would also need a processing building for cattle, pigs and game butchering, a smoke house, hay barns, etc.
I know a family, not related, that somehow decided to take me on as some kind of feel good project I guess.
They've been talking for years about buying some land and preparing for hard times and invited me to come along and live on their land. Big plans and big talk for years.
Well they finally got some land (not much) and after having me out once to look it over it's been crickets for months.
Oh well, I was kinda iffy about the whole thing anyway.
I think they found out that it takes a lot more than talk to get things done. I'll be surprised if they ever contact me about moving there unless something real catastrophic happens. We'll see.
I am also one of those that plans on going in the first wave. Maybe I can stop a few bullets first to give others a chance. If I go down I hope there is at least a pile if brass around me when I do.
