Guardian photo montage of gated communities

I don't think you could get many preppers to live in such small spaces, a gated community soon becomes a prison.

It's not practical to fence off enough land to survive on, you just have to rely on being able to patrol regularly enough to keep people away or grow enough that you can afford to lose some. I imagine people will get much more protective of livestock when TSHTF, it won't just be dogs that get shot in sheep fields, and around here almost every smallholder or farmer has a few guns.
