Thanks for the replies. I will start implementing some of those suggestions. There certainly is a stigma around storing food. In the back of my mind I'm thinking 'this is crazy'. But it also makes a great deal of sense to me. Do you think a collapse like Venezuela and Zimbabwe is possible in the US / UK? We have better infrastructures etc. I guess anything is possible though.

Yes, this is the kind of thing, thank you. Some of them are not possible right now, but some of your suggestions certainly are. Thankfully I live up north in a small city where everyone is pretty much culturally the same. I think the main thing I'm struggling to come to terms with is the fear involved while watching the world slowly implode. Thank you

I just watched Stefan's 'How to stay sane in an insane world', and he fleetingly mentions there are steps to prepare for the coming social/economic collapse. I was hoping there would be discussion about how to sensibly prepare (ie not buying a cabin in the woods with a decade's worth of food and ammunition). What basics should the average person do to prepare (UK based) Does anyone have any ideas/thoughts around this? Thanks!
