    I will become a warlord and only allow hot chicks and tough men. Democrat voting men will be used as bait/fodder for the hordes.

    Fat liberal chicks.....ummm. Can't really think of any good use for them. Maybe forced rations until they are thin again. Then see how it plays.

    Then again I'm pretty sure cats will become pretty useful. With all the death and uncleanliness there will be rats and shit. So until they finish their program they can pitch in there.

    I'm good for a number of months, but in assessing it I'm short on dog food and need to build that up a bit. A big dog will be pretty valuable in that situation for those of us who live out in the country.

    Faraday cage for the generator. Not too hard to build or expensive. May be in the offing. I like my 30KW rig and want to keep it!

    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.

    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?

    Get in the car and drive duh
    Sure … get your point

    My point is that if you’re talking about 200 miles that’s doable from a drive standpoint on a tank of gas and once you get outside that radius things will gradually revert to normal

    Shit like that hits the fan and I’m heading to a place like Texas where the downside weather related events are less likely

    Realistically though Jimmy you’re point is a good one and one that we should be thinking through with respect to canned foods, water, etc that can be had offline

    You’re right that most people don’t have a clue on how to “rough it”

    There is something to be said for living a bit off the grid as those of us around major cities will be the first to feel any related pain

    Heard the same from a Fox News chick this AM. Actually trying to make people feel shame when complaining that their pocketbook is being affected because our leaders are feckless and weak.

    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

    I think you underestimate how bat shit the general public will get without water, power and empty stores (likely raided) after 72 hours or so.
    Oh, they will. Read “rule of three”. Herb is a badass. If knowing it’s going to be 8 weeks, no biggie. The fear is the unknown.

    Inflation will happen … that’s a given

    The part that is addressable though is doing all possible to avoid the inflation that is avoidable
