During the current state of affairs, it probably would. However, during a "bug-out" situation, you have to figure that there will be NO ELECTRICITY, although, like those poor Sandy people, you'll no doubt continue to receive your monthly Bills!

There is a reason why "subsistence farmers" work sunup to sundown (or later!). Whatever you are going to feed yourself and your family for A YEAR (until the next crop is HARVESTED, if it doesn't fail for one reason or another) MUST be produced during the warmer, sunshiny months. If you are living at an altitude of 6000 feet, it would be particularly challenging since the ground is rocky, and winter comes early while spring comes late. While you may be relatively safe from marauding migrant "townies", it is Nature herself who will be your most dangerous enemy.

I would suggest researching growing/gardening/farming websites to glean the best information about WHAT will grow and how best to grow it at your elevation. You may want to consider re-locating, or at least coming to some sort of mutual agreement with someone living lower on the mountainside.
