Either way you need to be able to fortify and defend yourself: police will only stick around for so long once the pay checks stop (and as money becomes more and more worthless). Before the dollar tanks I'd get a well dug, install rainwater collection and solar panels.

But most likely I'd head for civilization: trade everything I have for a tall stanced 4x4 jeep, two sets of tires (one highway, one aggressive off-road), multiple gas tanks, etc. and head for South America.

Might be good to diversify your currency now so that if dollar tanks you may still have Euros, CHF, NOK, or YUAN?
Will the deed compliance people look away as we plant our gardens? Will there be any water here? it is already scarce. How are you going to get fuel for your 4X4 when electric pumps down not to mention refineries?
