Survival, actual not theoretical.

5. Well it depends on your specific risks and the assets you can put in play

I am not at all worried about flooding from glacier melt. My life is about 675 feet above sea-level.

BUT the north central US is becoming subject to dynamic temperature swings. Late March early April can now now bring 15 below zero mornings... right on top of my beautiful orchard fruit tree blossoms getting ready to to emerge

My old plans about fruit trees aren't dependable... they might yet provide a few good years in 6 of 10 years but nothing to build a life around.

I'm far enough north that shifting rain patterns rain are making a challenge. We're getting drier Marches and wetter Aprils followed by June droughts. Again ot something that will not wreck every year, but something that makes outcomes much more doubtful.. I can't imagine a future without a couple gallons of homemade rye whiskey a year. How will I ever live if I must drink booze made from beet roots? I've tried it, it isn't good.

I live in northern zone 5 and I plant fruit trees and perennial plant varieties capable of living as far north as zone 3 with a possibility of surviving heat and drought of zone 7-8

Somethings should grow... I hope
