Join Sheriff's Departments and local militias. We're also going to need to set up/grow local food co-ops in regions that do not have local farmer's markets. Also using cash and crypto currency over bank/credit cards. And open-source p2p communication software like Briar, Tox, & Jami. ---- In the old days people would each have different resources to trade. Some people had large chicken coops and sold or traded the spare eggs. Some people had goats for milk & cheese and likewise would sell & trade. My local township does not allow backyard chicken coops. My elderly mother wanted a coop. So I'm betting they probably do not allow goats or pigs either. Yet another reason my family is looking at mountain properties.
