Just watch the news on the magnetic poles. If they start moving the wrong way suddenly, along with a field strength collapse, make it a priority.
We are. While we brought technology with us to speed our plan along, we know it will all fail eventually and in the end none of it will work. We are rewinding technology a bit tying to engineer an existence without electricity. Giligans island was a good primer, mosquito coast a dose of realism. Hydro with kinetic take offs (grain grind by hand sucks) for tools and kitchen and food cooling is in the works. It’s actually a lot of fun, because society sucks right now and I miss it zero and everything I do Beneifts me and my family into the future.
That's cool. Analog is the way to go!
It’s a lot of fun. Our idea was not to live all eco hippy not showering and pooping into our garden, but true self sufficiency, totally way off grid, with abundance and luxury. Delicious foods, climate control, work saving tools, lights, hot tub, etc…. I always liked steampunk, but was always pissed it was all punk and didn’t actually work.
But what if it did?
If people had gone that way instead of petro there’s all sorts of things we would have now that work off grid. Some of it I’ve been able to create. I’ll just keep on going as I enjoy it, and every bit makes us more comfortable. Maybe in 10 years I’ll write a book about it, if there is a world to sell it to or money to pay for it…
