Overall, the biggest leverage is in networking. Finding other people and projects with which to connect. Ventilation and air quality are important aspects of being in the world during a pandemic; but they're not the most exciting rallying focus.

The main topics that seem 'fun' and useful from a networking standpoint:

• offline mapping and navigation, with GPS assist when possible, using compasses, special maps, hybrid coordinate systems
• alternative / backup communications systems
• heating and food preservation
• what materials might be processed / salvaged / used locally from a minerals standpoint
• low carbon logistics / sail freight

Even simply connecting with the folks associated with low-carbon logistics and sail freight, as well as the folks in Maine around farming, would be a great start.
