I want to make folks aware of a video from 2017 by Joe Fox (aka Viking Preparedness) that I highly recommend, entitled Withdraw and Prepare (Youtube link). Even though Joe Fox is a pastor, this is NOT the typical church sermon. It is about surviving the coming collapse of America and Western Civilization by making local communities that are islands of refuge. Pastor Fox talks about various ideas for doing so, including the Virtue Solutions Project, the Benedict Option, and Going Galt. At their core, all these have the concept of local communities outside "the system." This fits well with my ideas of building self-reliant families, tribes, and communities (localism), summed up in my line "a return to the old paths of self-reliance and local economies built around agrarian communities." For more on Localism, see Introducing Localism (my article link).

Please watch the video on his YouTube channel. Then think about what YOU and your family and group can do to build your own island of refuge.
