You are correct about feeding that many people, especially if the event is extended, and that is my biggest concern. We have wild deer, hogs, fish in the river, but even more neighbors than wildlife. After the first shot is fired, and the deer figure out that they are no longer in a wildlife refuge, they will scatter into the countryside and be gone. And wild hogs are hard to shoot and kill, but they will be high on the priority list.
I have become a well-known presence on an online application called NextDoor, but do not dare breach the “prepper” topic, because anyone that has mentioned that topic in the past is pretty much ridiculed. But I do believe that there are enough like-minded people living in my community, that I can “super-size” my plan and share the plan with other community members that are willing to rally around the community. I guess only time will tell how that works out…
However, there are lots of farms with cattle and other livestock in the immediate area, and I myself have many skills, (both technology-wise and hard skills) and excess items I can trade, that I am hoping to be able to barter to help feed my extended family.
But I have no illusions that if the event drags on for months, there are going to be some real challenges to overcome, and I need to probably add a good rationing plan.
