quote:They watched from a distance as an area larger than Los Angeles was devoured by a conflagration sparked by the federal government when two planned burns meant to reduce the threat of wildfire went awry due to a combination of human error and outdated modeling that didn't account for extreme weather. Hundreds of homes were destroyed and livelihoods lost.

imo the biggest issue frankly is not not being able to figure out how to grow poo poo, it would be fighting off all the people. if for whatever reason that wasn't a problem, and you could make it through the first year, i'd say you have a real chance of going for the long haul with the exception of obvious dangers like getting dirt in your cut and dying of tetanus or the plague or whatever like i grew up on a working farm and i am not remotely going to say i know how to do everything i need but neither do i think it's this unknown, arcane endeavour

skooma512 posted:Yeah if it comes to where I'm hitting The Road and just ghosting my job because it's completely moot, then there really isn't any way I can plan for a situation like that because climate change collapse is an event horizon. I can somewhat predict and mentally model how reality works before that point, and all of that breaks down once you hit the event horizon.

Go OUTSIDE? That is where it is dirty! You get a bit of mud on your finger and that's it, you might as well have AIDS.

Dirt feels good on the hands. except when you are digging near gooseberries. then you need to wear some gloves. little bastard plant spicy hairs. devils club is also a native plant here and man. terrifying spikes. I ran into a bunch when I took a wrong turn on a hike and turned a 2 mile down into a 10 mile down as I criss crossed down steeps then had to walk back up a loving mountain road. It's amazing how quickly you become uncoordinated while tired and dehydrated.

I wish there were bunnies around here but it's too far into the city, racoons with their dexterous little fingers are always a good suspect for nefarious shenanigans. I think I have seen surprise compost potatoes too.

blatman posted:i can hardly grow green onions in my apartment like heck can i grow actual food outdoors where things eat it and it bursts into flames seasonally Green onions are the easiest thing ever dude. I've already harvested 20 lbs of garlic, 100+ lbs of tomatoes (40lbs went into jars as sauce), endless kale and chard. Just growing in 570 square feet too. But I can just turn on the tap and get all the water I want. If I had to rely on what fell from the sky, idk if I could grow anything.

Just growing in 570 square feet too. This is the real fuckin key. Unless you got massive water barrels/cisterns and containment and processing - none of us are gonna have a good time if poo poo starts to fail big time.
