It's a very bad tactic. The cities and pine forests are going to burn if shtf. It's quite easy for anyone to get within 300 m of anybody, at night. all they have to do is gouge out a shallow depression, cover up with a field made ghillie suit, and pop you at dusk the following day, escape in the dark of the next night. They can also easilly make a vehice safe from riflefire, and use it to get close enough (at night) to smash Molotov cocktails on your "castle" and burn/smoke you out. Forget the "castle" idea, it will get you killed.

What you want is a concealed spiderhole or 2, with a shovel and pick buried shallowly 200 or so yds away. Then you can get out of sight while you dig and shore up the horizontal tunnel (7 ft or so long) for your dugout shelter. Have a few metal drums of food and stuff buried in a mile wide circle around the spiderhole, and you have a very effective, low cost way to ride out the first year of shtf. By then, order will be somewhat restored, because nearly everyone will be dead, if no other means is found. Emerge only at night, only to dispose of wastes and get water. let the fighting and diseases just pass you by. once a year has passed, it will be safe enough to have below ground level "greenhouses", small ones, hidden in thickets, with clear plastic sheeting helping you grow sprouts. This is a way to about double your growing season's length, and have nutritious food in mere days, instead of many weeks.
