Heck, I just don't answer those calls just because my vehicles don't need any extended warranties.I've become a bit paranoid about answering the phone to unknown numbers due to my concern of having companies "voice print" me.

Topic - How are we going to survive the next 10 years ? I suppose that all depends on what happens . However my plans started with me giving up all " nearly all " my worldly possessions and reestablishing my family in a prepper oriented survivalist minded area . That took place over 20 years ago when compared to today's land prices was more affordable . Those that are in the wrong location , that option may very likely be closed to them at this point . - That is why I have posted many times about the importance of trying to predict the future and act accordingly as prepper / survivalist . Some people just don't seem to have that ability and deem it impossible for someone to be able to predict and prepare accordingly . That for many will be the difference for their survival , impoverishment or death over the coming years . We have now entered that phase .
Does this affect only the city or any outlying areas?Power substations too. One yesterday in Oakland, 50k without power.
All they are saying is damaged equipment.
Indeed picking up and moving based on survival is one of the biggest things a person could do in their lifetime . As for what will happen next in relation to prepper / homestead land , " I am not " receiving a gut feeling , so I can not predict how land prices are fixing to go . Perhaps we have another member that has received that message from another realm . Over 20 years ago I told my wife Land prices are going to skyrocket in our choose survival area . Now that has happened as predicted .The question is 20 years from now, looking back, would today's price on land look "affordable" in comparison. What about after the SHTF?
Back in the Great Depression there were "penny" sales. Again, goes to your comment about predicting the future. Which way will it go.
I kind of see it as a game of musical chairs. Where will you be when the music stops?
Liquidating your life and plopping it all down on land, changing your whole lifestyle and putting eggs all in one basket is a big step for many people.
Affected OAK airport some of Oakland and some of city of Alameda. The 50k was householdsDoes this affect only the city or any outlying areas?
I have been pretty busy with spring babies and such, so I didn't see this yet. Will you keep us posted if they announce more details?Affected OAK airport some of Oakland and some of city of Alameda. The 50k was households
While I generally agree with your larger point about being as self-sufficient as possible, and am trying to get there myself, let me present some problems to challenge your solutions.Topic - How are we going to survive the next 10 years ?

I assume you pay property taxes to maintain your land. Let's say in 5 years the US dollar is no longer and we have moved to a new type of crypto currency for which every dollar earned and spent is justifiable and taxed. Do you have means to legitimately earn (e.g. not your side hustles) trackable money to pay your taxes, or lose your estate?
For whatever the causes, sabotage, corruption, ineptitude, your land is hit with lethal toxins - air and well water - like we witnessed in Ohio in February. You're bugging out, got a plan?
Maybe animal viruses that sweep in and destroy your livestock? Or plant viruses that wipe out crops?
Widespread war could easily steamroll your plans. Roving local militias, for instance, in the aftermath of a greater global attack, looking for supplies. Are you armed sufficiently and have the manpower for 24/7/365 defense against larger aggressive forces?
Ready to go completely without energy if grids collapse?
I applaud that you're likely far better off than some urbanite living in a small apartment in a big city. That's granted. But you're not immune from several of the events we've seen in society just this year.
Saying now fire at the substation. That could be a nearby homeless camp in OAK, faulty PGE equip, or other reasons.I have been pretty busy with spring babies and such, so I didn't see this yet. Will you keep us posted if they announce more details?

Getting late stage cancer in my 30s certainly wasn't in my plans. Haha‘Mensch tracht, Gott lacht’
(Men plan, God laughs)
Not that you should not plan or be prepared, but you can't anticipate all eventualities. And you certainly should not put all your eggs in one basket.
