Hits the U.S. and you lose power. How long could you last? What kind of prepper are you and how much ammo do you have? What’s your plan to survive 4-8 weeks with no power within 200 miles of where you live?

    The book, One Minute After, gives one a realistic view of what life would be like. It’s not pretty.

    It depends on a variety of factors, many of which I have no control over.

    What about you?

    I’m focused on being above the 75th percentile, but I don’t want to be in the 99th percentile

    You get in the car and go where? Let’s say hundreds of thousands are fleeing as well? Driving away might be a worse situation. Most people can’t afford spare food. Supposedly half of America has no savings and can’t afford a $400 emergency repair.

    I'm not the expert, so could be wrong, but I imagine martial law gets called immediately and mobility is limited to specific sectors while they get back online.

    It would be a shit show, the toilet paper hysterics would amplify to apocalyptic levels.

    You just figure shit out. As long as you have a water source, a propane grill with enough propane, you should be able to hold out for a few weeks. Longer than 8 weeks, that’s a whole different story
