When crap hits the fan, who you know will be as equally as important, if not more important, than your possessions.

Having generalists and specialists in your network is how your crew wins in the long run.

Find similar guys or families like yours in your area. Then become great customers to cattle, dairy, egg, and honey farmers. Be accommodating to them and express your desire to form a relationship.

Great point and one of the weaker areas of my preparedness. I'm slowing trying to get to know my immediate neighbours, but I don't really have a great network close by. My family and friends are all very handy people but live I'm the city and we're out of town.

Yeah there are a lot of factors at play for stuff like this. At least you don't live in the city because that is the biggest hindrance.

I just hate even going in there anymore, don't enjoy it at all.
