JD,
The temperatures in the Todos Santos area are still running in the 60s or low 70s during the day and low 60s at night, lots of cold water offshore.

RFC: I was just thinking about your place and the very impressive hurricane shutters you had designed and built locally. I would have loved to have
done the same, but due to not having your contacts we opted for the laminated hurricane windows instead, which should have been completed this week.
Hope this proves adequate for our purposes when worst of the storm season hits this fall and the construction waste expected around us picks up.
And yes, we noted the temps up where we were were running substantially cooler than normal right up to when I flew out a couple weeks back, I assume
affected by the colder than normal offshore ocean temps. I had been running heat pumps on heating mode ever since January, not a bit of cooling
required. It's actually been warmer up here on the west coast of Canada lately in late afternoons.

JD,
All you need at ground level are steel frames and 5/8” plywood. We’re doing those now. Pictures soon.

you need to plant something to cover all that bare soil and brown weedy stuff. plant some low water natives, you can even find some things like
mesquite, palo verde, etc, that can provide filtered shade.
vegetation is a good carbon sink, much of that carbon sink is invisible fungal below grade
Woke!

Yes, we costed that and also the roll down metal shutters out as alternatives. Our neighbours for the most part put up temporary plywood sheet covers
each time they get a storm warning, but we will be stuck up here so needed something in place throughout. And of course, we have zero control over
debris from construction projects surrounding us.

Goat,
Watch the youtube it’s the latest in Zombie Preper off-road tech ($93K) even I think it’s a waste of money.

Where exactly would one go with their trailer, if it's the end of the world? What would they fuel the vehicle they're pulling it with if there is no
gas or diesel and the electrical grid is non-functional? These people think real life is like some Mad Max movie.
In an end of the world as we know it scenario, if anyone survives, it will be the people who have knowledge and skills to try to grow food, to know
which plants are edible and medicinal, who are adept at fashioning things into something else, those who are accustomed living simply, and those who
work with others for the common good, not the people who hoarded and have an every man for himself attitude.

Key prepper supplies:
Ammunition
Liquor
Library of how-to books.
If rioting breaks out at the end of days, i will drive around town and loot the gun shops, liquor stores and libraries!
Woke!
