Good news; when the economy implodes there will be no financial costs, but you’ll have skills.

5% of the public hunts. My guess is, should society collapse, there will be plenty of work cleaning up the bodies as millions go nuts in shock and kill themselves at home before a civil war can get off the ground.

More optimistically it’ll be like 9/11, NY blackouts; shock, awe, but people settle down and figure it out.

Who knows, maybe this is all embedded paranoia from the Cold War era and complete social collapse is impossible.

Local urban areas will surely clamp down and secure infra. Going it alone in the woods seems like a fine recipe for just putting the gun in your own mouth eventually.
