Climate change is really fucking that idea up here in Scotland.
Our ecosystem relies on now non-existant snowy winters to reset the pest and fungus population every year, instead we get mild winters and summer that have no actual rain to water plants yet are so humid that everything is permamently damp, pests and fungi ramp up year on year and plants that used to grow fine here (Talking potatoes and even some native trees) are struggling. I’d say a full half of the non-confierous trees near my house have started dying in the last 2 years.
Preparing myself for the world Titor predicted. Small communities.
Learning to homestead as best I can as a renter. Lots of raised beds and planter bags.
I only buy things to support my hobbies. Saving up for land and a prefab home so I can go completely independent.
I don’t want to worry if critical food gets expensive again.

I would have tried this so hard a long time ago but there is basically 2 things keeping me in the shackles: dentists & hospitals.
How do you deal with that?
Now there is a name I haven’t heard in awhile.
