What would you do?

[John]

The SHTF a few months or so ago. You put your plans into action, whatever they may be. They have been successful thus far.

You are now coming up to you first winter, you know you can get through it but you are unsure if you can make it through next year for whatever reasons.
You had some communications with others but that stopped a while ago. May be there was no more power, no way to recharge batteries, may be they were over run or died. You have no way of knowing.

So you sit down one evening round the fire with those who are with you, family, may be friends, to discuss the problem.
What would you recommend?

This is not a stupid question for it could happen.
I want some input before I divulge my cunning plan.
I will give it a week and then post a suggestion.
Please no silly answers, this is a serious question and it could affect your life come post SHTF.
