Self sustaining is something else than growing your own food (parts).
Is really hard to have everything grown by yourself. At some point you have to do some exchanges with a neighbor or other farm because is almost impossible to have everything in your place.
But growing some vegetables, just as a buffer zone to not depend 100% of an external source, it doesn't cost too much effort, even in an urban area.
And you aren't gonna have success if you wait to learn until times are tough. Better to learn when you don't HAVE to grow your own food. Building the skill is the thing I overlooked in my younger years.
Same goes for operating radios (HAM). Using bitoin is another example. I used to just HODL. But you need to USE the tools. I don't HAVE to use bitcoin now but I do because when the shit hits the fan that's a terrible time to learn.

Yep, why do you think I started to build that cabin in the woods? To learn... growing food is coming soon too, once the house is finished.

I got that immediately. Few people seem to actually act on what they claim to fear. If I had the kind of fear I hear from many left-wing people I would act very different than they do.
We are far from helpless. We have learned helplessness. That's what the state does.
