 I’m not a sovereign individual and will likely never be one. I can understand the desire to be as sovereign as possible but we didn’t get to where we are technologically without specialization and delegation of duties. Of course, I’d buy local and eat local first, and can grow my own food if I need to, but I don’t need to do it all. Should the need arise, there are other ways of getting what you need, but I rather not imagine such a future and work toward one where we don’t need to all be sovereign in all of the ways people wish to be. 

Not to say that I don’t respect that choice, go for it!
