Biggest thing is move out of your high crime neighbourhood. Nothing worse than being a well off tech guy surrounded by people who want your things. I don't even lock my door. If I left money on the side walk someone walking by would put it in my mail box, or even drop it off. When you have a strong community everything will be okay. I also have all the traditional planning. Food, gear ect. Don't be the guy who does his hunting at the supermarket, grow your own vege section. But you can not do everything yourself a strong community is the most important thing. We are tech workers most of us can work remotely, which really opens up the options of were we can live. Long term find a wife with the same ideals and get some land to call yours, where the swings of government and media opinions can not affect you.
