You don't have to be good with guns to be effective with a shotgun at close range.
Indeed I'd be going nowhere near farmhouses in an situation where normal law and order had broken down.

As long as I don't have to bug out I'm generally well prepared. We are not remote but we are off the beaten track. I have a wood stove, a well filled wood store, axe, maul, bow saw and we are surrounded by woods. We have bee hives and normally between 5 and 50 kilos of honey jarred. A freezer full of meat and if the leccy goes plenty of salt (never less than 25 kilos for water softener) to preserve the bigger meat. I have a pressure canner and 50L of assorted jars so I can can any mince or chicken. I have a smoker, never less than 10 kilos of various flour and if push came to shove 25 kilos of pale malt which would make an edible if disgusting porridge. I could go on but my hobbies insulate me against short term issues quite well with no prepper motivation.

That is quite a bad one as a lot of routing hardware will be potentially vulnerable - making man in the middle, etc. attacks feasible on stuff that is otherwise very secure.
You have got it made!
Those country boys watch the same tv and films we do, they breath cleaner air all their lives and already own the rifles, shotguns, ammo and gillie suits.
They've got water, animals and food growing all around them anyway, farmers are preppers effectively.
Sad to say, but the only doomsday prep I can do is to stock up on insulin. I'm dead once that runs out, and it only keeps for about a month without refrigeration. Best I could do would be to throw myself at the zombies to buy my friends time to escape...
You'll live on in folk song and lore.
So basically stock up on guns, ammo, cigarettes and your fixed heh.
When we think of this we think of building a fortress and digging in until it's over. In reality, looking like you don't exist is probably the best policy.
Don't forget those lighters..
Yeah, depends on the situation you find yourself in. If you're in a city, that could be pretty hard.
Pretty mad article i thought though, saw it on the ukpreppers website

Depends what doomsday scenario you are preparing for. If it was an asteroid strike you would be in a relatively unprotected area in the wilderness.
Surely the two most important things are food and a way to have fresh water.

No doomsday prep over here as of yet, as soon as we reach DEFCON 1 as it were I will be looking for a way to acquire a taste for human flesh. Best to get at least a couple of rudimentary recipes down on paper before the proverbial hits the fan.
