I think my old boss had the right idea for that kind of scenario here on the coast. Said economic collapse won't kill you, people will kill you so buy a sailboat. If shit got bad you just pack up and sail off, plenty of food in the ocean. Lots of other boats around but fuel will dry up fast, wind power isnt going to vanish though. Lots of uninhabited islands or mainland areas a guy could homestead.
It sounds great in theory but what percentage of Canadians do you believe have the skills and work ethic to actually do this? Like 1/100,000th of a percent?
Nice. A buddy of mine bought a 25' sailboat years ago that was in great shape just needed a little TLC to really shine, he paid something like $2500 for it. There's some good deals out there. Good luck finding more than temporary moorage at a marina though.
Not saying it would be easy, but I think in the economic collapse scenario being described where people are willing to cut your throat for a mouthful of food I'd be giving it a shot. If you had a boat and some fishing gear you'd at least be eating decently.
