Hello,

I have read everything you commented here and had it translated to better understand. Thank you.

Though I will not refer to everything.

Where I grew up and people have houses and properties that are paid off, some are switching to heating systems via solar panels on the roofs to generate heat. The deliveries of such technologies take months compared to before and the installation is difficult, but not impossible. Some owners have pumps to obtain groundwater. Two very important resources, then, besides food.

None of those I know have a 3D printer. Those who would want to print spare parts for defective materials would have to do so according to the requirements of the parts to be replaced, and for that, one would need a special computer programme. But I won't belabour the point that I think it's a bit more complicated than you said. But remain more open to the idea than before our conversation.

It takes people in the world who don't see disaster in plain sight and know what to expect. The thing is, if everyone predicted exactly what you predicted, we would already have such high levels of panic purchases and bank runs that supply shortages and other severe bottlenecks would be guaranteed. Those who prepare now and prepare for hard times benefit from the lack of knowledge or ignorance of those who do not. Some balance in the existence of all life can only ever be achieved by not all doing the same thing at the same time.

I will be unprepared in material terms, so times of hunger or frost set in. This is not exclusively my own decision. I can only act if those closest to me thought it as necessary as I would. The place of refuge would then indeed be my hometown with my blood relatives, which, however, if no petrol is available, is no longer 2 hours away by car, but several days' journey on foot.
It may seem strange to you that one lets what is coming come with one's eyes wide open. I also don't think that, when the time comes, I will be equipped with the same composure as I am talking to you now. I may nevertheless be better prepared mentally and spiritually than those who suspect nothing.

Thank you very much for your offer of help. If you did not live on another continent, I would very much like to visit you.
