Despite potentially being a social or networked problem, you still can not expect your own "elite" behavior to help : networked means are still required.
Principle
Provide an intellectual toolkit to recover after a collapse situation
ahead of it so that one can efficiently solve the problems when the time is needed.
Steps taken
/mnt/slowhd/offline_prep/
- offline-octopus
- RedCross first aid training (Summer 2022)
- SSI Stress & Rescue training (Autumn 2022)
- this page (since 2012)
Note that, ironically enough, this page during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and the later Ukraine invasion, was not touched on (cf page history). It should have been a source. It could show how important refreshing the content and pratices constantly (like first aid training requires) matters to make it an autonomatism that would be used precisely during stressful situations.
Process
- assess the situation
- what is the actual problem
- in what health are you
- in what health are people close to you
- what caused the problem
- how far one is from the source problem
- where is the closest safe location
- locate resources
- water source
- eventually purification
http://www.alpharubicon.com/kids/homemadeberkeydaire.htm this must be replaced by the summarized principle as the material required might not be available then
- food source
- making it sustainable
- permaculture in the desert (Jordan)
- understand the human Needs#TrophicWeb
- reconsidered later on watching Guns Germs and Steel and how not just an environment can support different lifestyle but also how a better understanding of the current trophic web model is a tool for the gatherer/hunter and the farmer
- medicinal plants
- a la http://www.iledeserte.net by Guerrique
- considered through the importance of spices in cooking
- make the shelter safe
- against weather conditions
- against threats
- nutrition processing means
- cooking, salting, heating for conservation and "pre-digestion" (cf Wikipedia:Bioavailability
- locate the nearest organisation structure
- military, redcross, ...
- establish relevant communication means if collaboration is beneficial
- set up a prediction system
- decide composite indicators
- learn from history lessons Projetautonomieenergetique but adapted to the current context
- based on its constant results, allocate resource accordingly
- see PriorityByEconomicalSystem
- Seedea:Content/Predictions
- do Y
- do Y.a
- do Y.b
- do Z
Resources (to integrate in the process)
Remarks
- it is not a jump back in historical time
- we should be able to leverage more recent knowledge and technology (even with an energy crisis) but also some past opportunities (thus will lower investment cost) would have disappeared
To do
- make it "algo-like" (step by step, eventually rec)
- list the existing handbook, make mirrors to always have it packed, ready to go
