I'm in Western Australia which is pretty remote. Still the price of fuel seems to be about to break everything. Although we produce more food than we consume there are long distances between producers and consumers. We are highly dependent on imported fuel.

I bought a second hand freezer today to store some bulk meat. Don't think we'll have an issue with grain. Coming into winter here it will rain often so water shouldn't be an issue till next summer.

Also looking at getting more essential tools to fix stuff that breaks around the house. Want to improve my security setup too. Possibly mesh if things take longer to break down than it looks.

We have a pretty tight social network that we can help each other if there's an issue too.
