No need to tell you that it's him who wrote the book: Self-Reliance in the 21st. Century.
I do not have a copy yet, but according to Amazon, it boils down to: cooperating with trustworthy others in PRODUCTIVE networks !!!
Your general skills, thus far encompass:
Ranching, Horse/Mule packing, EMT skills, Rappelling (little rock climbing), Writing, little bit of Spanish, Chess, Horsemanship.

Elon Musk once aid: Out there in the world, there is NO STUFF (OK, some fruit and veggies are there, but...), unless you make it. Which means PRODUCTION/ASSEMBLY.
The skills/knowledge I mentioned in my previous reply deal with exactly that.
I have friends you might meet. A tech guy in Highlands Ranch. The publishers of L Neil Smith's The Libertarian Enterprise in Fort Collins. Nick and Mimi Johnson in Bedrock. I myself am in Central Point Oregon. You may contact me by email if you wish for introductions by email. Your dad and Doug Casey have my email address.
PLEASE, try your best to get skills also in
- metal-fabrication including how to deal and combine with plastics, wood, glass,
- off-grid techniques incl. solar-systems, water-well-drilling, water-storage, traditional house building,
raised-bed-gardening, preserving, composting,
