IE you all mutually agree the AOO you want to live in and dominate safely, so you all move within that area, thus you still maintain your own families independance, but you can easily join up with others for combined training, barn raisings, community projects, harvest time, roundup time or in response to a threat. thats why certain parts of Idaho and Exeter have high numbers of survivalist families living in a given area, same with the Amish , They live private seperate lives but come togther at harvest time or when there is trouble.i was having this very conversation with someone else-about Amish type living that is. i think this is probably how things will evolve post SHTF, people will live in an area and keep their own independence, working their own land and animals, but there will be others in the locality doing the same, and people will come together for barn building, harvesting, security and socialising. the Amish is a good model to follow, in an era of no electricity and no road fuel, using horses and ponies for transport and moving goods makes good sense.
UK wise to my honest belief theres quite a few folks in the area around Exeter, another cluster just inland of Aberystwith, another group in the vicinity of an eco housinbg project near Nottingham, a few more in north wales and more near the CAT centre as well. Theres a colony of similar folks in western Scotland and quite a few in Northumberland.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
