I would add for people reading this, don't wait to get started. There is a learning curve for everything. Don't think that when everything is going to hell that you are all of a sudden going to have the luxury of getting up to speed at that time. For example, I spent several years getting a good garden going that was highly productive. I had one good year, and the word went out in the varmint community, which had never been a problem. The next year my harvest was basically zero. Now I am re-designing to keep all the animals out. Stuff like that will inevitably happen, no matter what you are trying to do.

Just what I needed to hear. I'm in a small, isolated community. I've noticed that the padavores and associated scum have tried to infiltrate here, but luckily, there's an extreme housing shortage, and the locals are very wary of strangers. Gets us called bad names (racist, blah blah blah), but we will hang on.
