from what i've read on the subject, most of it has an American slant to it so you have to Anglesize it a bit, but the general thinking is that you have enough food (for everyone in your family/group) to last 1 year, after that you should be living on what you have grown yourself and the meat from any animals you are breeding + some hunting and foraging if possible as well.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
