In a SHTF situation my initial thoughts would be to stay by the coast and employ beachcraft as opposed to bushcraft.
Probably because this is my area of expertise, as in my youth the beach was my haunt and playground.
My goal is to buy an ex trawler and liveabord it having installed all the systems I need IE heating, water purification and power generation.
In this situation then I become both self sufficient and mobile giving me I think the best of both worlds.
Don't mean to rant but this never seems to be discussed as an option would like to hear your thoughts about this.

I think it is a superb idea. Not many people would have the knowledge or finances to run a boat. The coastal waters can supply a good range of food, that with the right nets and pots can feed yourself or family. Having the ability to "up Anchor" is also a great benefit, especially if your local waters have a decline in Fish etc. If any trouble rears its head and weather permitting you can simply move, and still have the ability to find food.
