      I’ll be moving to a rural location in a coupla years. The place I eventually go to will be updated for fire protection, power loss and water availability. Or at least as much of that as I can muster.

          Ah yes, of course! We do that already. The tricky part will be animals. I really don’t want to be a farmer, but society breaking down might dictate otherwise!

        Sorta what I did. Moved to a cooler, less smoky place that has better local self sufficiency. Nowhere is immune, but at least we can be outside significantly more days than where I used to live.

        It’s a good idea, i’d just caution you that there will be a rush to do this at some point. With 2027 shaping up to be shocking, 2 years might see you competing with more people than you think.

        Obviously don’t know your circumstances but I’d encourage you to start taking at least the early steps now. It took a good solid 6 months for the whole process for us. And that was faster than I expected.

          I very much agree. I’ve begun looking at acquisition of solar equipment this year to prepare. The other stuff I cannot get to until we move.
