I'm thinking about trying to join an intentional community to learn the ropes of farm and homestead skills but especially learning the hardest skill of being a member of a horizontally organized democratic community (and all the mundane and not fun aspects involved). Maybe after a year or two of that, if I still have a taste for it, I might try to start my own somewhere. We're all we've got and I think just trying to survive 3°+ warming in the next couple of decades is gonna be really nasty.
How bout you?
Theres practically no reason to learn farming/homesteading in america if there is an apocalypse. America is a scavengers paradise; you'll be able to cover food, water and medicine for the rest of your natural lifespan. Every suburban home has enough to last a family for months lol, not to mention engines, batteries, plastics, wood, gasoline.
I guess if a weird asteroid turns nearly everyone into piles of calcium, sure... but... otherwise, people aren't gonna just disappear. The lead-up to famine is going empty cupboards, drain gasoline. Those homes will be full of desperate people who want to survive same as anyone. And the energy spent moving from one store of finite supplies to another would be better spent working together with others to build something permanent and productive.
