    It's quite difficult to hit a man with a plowshare, so I still prefer a sword.

    Also, when government collapses (any model) and organized land cultivation stops it's still possible to survive a harsh winter in a forest without any additional resources, but near to impossible in a desolate city or barren land.
    That's valid for any epoch.
