Thinking about building local resilience I've switched from shopping at big chains like Whole foods and Amazon to a local food cooperative and continue to support our CSA. Where we shop also shapes the kind of world we build.
This framing of interdependence vs lone survivalism is absolutley spot-on. The insight about skill diversity mattering more than resource hoarding isa game changer when I think about my own neighborhood. Back in 2020 I watched people panic-buy everything but the real security came from neighbors sharing what they had. Most prepper guides dunno how to tell you that trust networks are harder to build than food stockpiles but way more critical.
If anyone needs help and a plan and encouragement for building community in your neighborhood (which can be scary without support), Graham McBain at Hey Neighbor Labs hosts weekly calls and a group chat guided by a ten step plan.
