You got it in one Mary 
I would add that I now actively seek ways of not having to rely on the state or local authorities as much as I can, and I NEVER believe they are acting with my best interests at heart. I don't look at cars any more and think how fast or stylish they look but can they carry a bale of hay or go cross country, my dream communities are those that have the least facilities so only the most self reliant types want to live there. We try to bulk buy at Macro twice a year for essentials such as bum wipes, bog roll, kitchen paper towels, bleach, detergents, soaps, deodorants, toothpastes, tooth brushes, washing up liquid, fabric conditioner, star drops, tea tree soap etc if they are on offer. Its heartbreaking watching council workers chopping fall tree limbs into mulch instead of giving it to wood stove owners.
I just wish I had other preppers to do stuff like share bulk buys, share firewood, share preserves and pickles etc but there is just my family to work with and that's not quite enough.
