People with guns still need a support network. Get connected to your local mutual aide network if you can.
agreed
I would like to know more. Very much on my own here. I have a SHTF place, with guns, ammo, clothes, food, shelter, all that. LOL, maybe I should be the guy offering support to neighbors.
Doubt you'll find something on this site: https://www.mutualaidhub.org/
Locally for me it has been getting involved in the local community: maker space (we made masks during COVID), bicycle group, and a very radical church with a community pantry. But it sounds like those things might not be available where you are, so it might instead be getting involved in a foraging group or other local activities that make sense. Sharing local knowledge outside the Internet is a good habit in case if shit goes south.
Crap. Nothing remotely near me. But the rest of your comment is inspiring!
Been meaning to look into foraging. I've got 2.5 acres in a Florida swamp and I'd starve to death quick. How can that be?! I need to learn more.
