Yes , not the best time to have a big mortgage or loans as some do . The cost of fuel , feed etc will brlng many down .
 I think it will soon be a case of only keeping stock that can be fed with crops grown on the holding . Cost of fuel making bagged feed too dear very soon .
 The really big farmers will maybe get by longer , on the to big to fail basis . Heads down and keep out of the spotlight time , me thinks !

If it gets that bad

 ;) Find a cave with running water  in the back and learn which roots you can grub out and eat raw .  Keep a big supply of fleece or off the wire pickings so you can have a form of bog paper & some thing to make clothes out of .

Learn how to make an atal atal and become proficient in its use.
Locate a source of flint and mug up on flint knapping .
Start make a big pile of gorse so you can block the cave entrance

you need a licence to extract water from the ground           and they cost money :farmer:

a well may be different             but drilling down to the water table especially in England would require a licence        we had 2 wells on our farm one dried up in dry weather the other kept on running water in 1976 almost to the drought ended :farmer:

I'll let others do the cave thing , if they must !
 I have done the 'live off the land ' bit , years ago . Would do it if there was no choice , but otherwise i would rather just grow what i need !
 You only need a licence to extract water if you use a huge amount , unless new laws have come in ? But 'they' only know about it if you tell them !

Today's headlines indicate you on the other side of the Atlantic are preparing for riots when the Euro collapses.

I have read this thread with great interest.  There are those of us over here that are hoping for the best but prepariing for the worst.

Yes, life will go on no matter what.  But I would like to have some of the necessary things on hand if and when the SHTF.

I think there will be major disruptions to the supply chain (temporary).  I know how quickly things disappear at the grocery store when the weatherman calls for a few inches of snow.  So it only makes sense to me to have a few weeks (at least!) of supplies layed in.

My family makes fun of me all the time.

God Bless!
