In short, you are better equipped for a meltdown of the energy grid. For those in relatively dry places, they would be mostly screwed. Especially if this meltdown was in the summer. Highs of 115 with little to no shade and very little surface water would make for a lot of casualties. Even if one finds water, it is likely not drinkable without considerable treatment.
One of my friends lived off the grid.. But we went thru a few disasters here in maine.. And i tell you.. it taught us some nasty hard lessons... you freeze here- you die.
we had a huge ice storm in 87.. and i took in folks freezing.. only for a week.. lol but i was happy to help.
