You should expedite your plan. The faster you become self-reliance, the better.

Consider this:

You are only now planning for this, so either you are early, right on time, or late. Most people are behind the curve on just about everything, but now hear "billionaires are building bunkers". They are already too late, but they have money to make up for it. You don't.

Go look at some traditional lifestyle and cultures such as Amish, Indigenous peoples, etc...who have been living sustainably for decades plus.

Your entire mental model of life needs to change, not planting trees and having hobby chickens.

HN is not the place for this type of discussion either, IMO.
