So, are you preparing your infrastructure?
I happen to be working on my personal infrastructure. I'm building an off grid garage / workshop {barn} that will be reasonably comfortable to live in IF their is a grid failure that lasts for more than a day or two.

I am reducing my energy footprint at home and plan to make further reductions.

After the barn is done, I plan to convert a small car to battery electric.

We are growing fruit trees and berry producing bushes and make a garden. A rainwater catchment system is in the plans, too.

If I could figure out how to squeeze a few more hours out of the day, I'd try more.

The best part is that even if none of the doom and gloom stuff happens in my lifetime, all that I'm doing has a positive effect on my lifestyle.
