A well stocked pantry and jugs and jugs of water, batteries and all the Ready.org items multiplied by however much you can afford is great insurance as well.

Conversely, cities have larger incomes. This income afford better outcomes when it's time to 'bug out \ retire'. For me, the best combination is to hold a decent job in a city, with ~6months supply of food(plus a fuel tank) and stockpile financial resources for land purchases. Many properties 2-3 hours out of cities are held as holiday homes (hobby farms, etc) and will become priced far lower as SHTF approaches.
