Yes, totally agree. I read the article also, several times.
My biggest fear where I live is wildfire, outside of that, if we had an economic collapse, invasion, zombie apocalypse, etc, my next biggest fear is starving to death. Winter here lasts a long time, so living off the land can only go so far. Yes, I can trap or shoot the occasional Grouse, but outside of that it's slim pickens. I have some food stores, but then it goes back to how much room you have to store it, and in my case not much.
Outside of that, I'm pretty well set for fire, water, shelter, heat, etc.
The other thing that worries me, we all get older, more fragile. Let's say I break my leg in the middle of Winter, hunting will come to a standstill, and even simple tasks like going outside to get some logs for wood burner would be a daunting task.
