NC emphasizes returning to practical ways of living with greater independence: building community, knowing local providers, sharing knowledge, repairing useful items, and keeping physical books and tools. He also discusses a recalled baby sleep product and access to medical care. pMad, the Irish correspondent returns. Later, NC recounts the history of Saint Bernard rescue dogs and reflects on privacy, family, education, and resilience.
