Speaking of Dunbar's number, Mad Max, etc., I found a comment from a Russian who lived through the collapse of the USSR that was quite chilling.

The problem is that completely logical assumptions turn out to be totally incorrect
in situations which defy logic.
For example, you are talking about importance of living in community, acquiring
friends, mutual help, etc.
The topic is dangerously misunderstood.
The assumption all of you are making is that violence from inner cities will spread
and engulf your quiet cozy neighbors. Therefore, your survival is dependent
on amount of food you store, caliber of your guns, food you may grow, etc.
That assumption totally wrong! The most critical danger you are facing is from your own neighbors, the same men and women who smile to you when you meet them. You will never believe what people in distress are capable of doing...
