How Long Could You Actually Go Off-Grid?

If you had to go fully off-grid tomorrow, how long could you realistically sustain yourself with your current supplies and skills? Curious how folks here calculate their “breaking point”—do you track by food, meds, energy? Always wondering if my estimates are way off.
 
Pretty sure I could last 4-5 months before running low on staples, if nothing goes sideways. Do you factor in wild foraging or just what’s in your pantry?
 
I figure about 6 months if I ration and rotate what I’ve canned, but meds would run out sooner. Anybody here managed to grow enough to stay out of the pharmacy?
