>>1090806>Isolation = Death>Community = LifeDead weight = death, no matter the population.
In my area I can easily grow/gather 3000K/day/year average but there is a slim chance I could gather 12000. On my own I could survive decently well, but put me with 4 other people and we all starve.
If you're serious about long term survival you should have a spot way out in the middle of nowhere and the only people who should know about it are those who can carry their own weight.
If we wake up to teotwawki tomorrow I know exactly who I'm grabbing and exactly where we are going if they are willing to go with. Community prepping is stupid and will invariably end up as a tragedy of the commons, be selective and make it work.
>no more than 10 people>no less than 5 acres (one wooded) per personYou don't have to own it, but it needs to be there. When we reach teotwawki farmer John 20 miles down the road isn't going to be coming to plant his field.
>no less than 75 gallons of reliable water per person per day (average)For drinking as well as sanitation, watering stock, and irrigation
>no fewer than two doe goats per person (a buck can be shared communally, but there should be at least two in total, one meat one dairy for optimal crosses alpine type and Boer type for bucks, Nubian/toggenburg for does)Milk from the does, meat from the kids. Turns grass into calories and are hardier than sheep and more manageable than cattle.
>no fewer than 5 chickens per person (Cochin's, Brahmans, or other heavy good setting breed preferable)30 eggs a week is a nice source of protein and the chicks can be slaughtered for meat. Quieter than turkeys and better producing than ducks.
>no less than one horse per 10 people>no more than one horse per 5 peopleTransportation of both people and supplies, it's easier to grow hay and oats than diesel.
It's possible to survive with far less, but if you have that in an isolated location you are in pretty good shape.
