I've heard all that "no man is an island" guff all my life, whilst it might apply to most of the population there are some of us who are better off being as far away from others as possible, I trust NO ONE and that applies just as much now as post SHTF. most if not all groups, especially here in the UK, are going to be "Family ONLY" ones, anyone who trusts a stranger especially after SHTF is in for a lot of hurt and possibly an early death. my plans are geared towards a BASIC rustic self sufficient/subsistence type lifestyle post SHTF, keeping it simple is the way to go, for me anyway.
