i am definitely going to make sure i have myself a couple of old diesel trucks at some point, probably a 80s era lada niva and whatever is easiest to find near me, get them both overhauled fully and configured to have a full no-electrical operation capability... i expect that suddenly they are going to be worth a lot of money sometime in the next 10 years, and i intend to keep mine in pristine working condition and not work them that hard, either, so they are always available
i'm expecting a decade or three to pass with a shattered economy with severe problems with energy availability, and am planning accordingly
dreaming about my little library of essential knowledge, and other things to occupy my time in the absence of internet when this happens
we are living in days like those of Noah, and many will scoff until the sun turns blue and the grid goes down and it's unsafe above ground for 5-10 years
