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

Get in the car and drive duhjecornel said: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?

How long could you last?
It depends on a variety of factors, many of which I have no control over.
What about you? -
I'm good.
-
Details, please.
I kid . . . I kid. -
I’m focused on being above the 75th percentile, but I don’t want to be in the 99th percentile
The most important word and often neglected… water -
Depends on how much propane I have in my BBQ lol

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.Tequilla said:

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.jecornel said:You get in the car and go where?

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

Shit I used to be almost 100% self sustainable. Still have the ammo and guns but no auxiliary power or solar or any land or ground water. 3 more years and I'm out of here...I hope.UW_Doog_Bot said:I'm good.

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.greenblood said:You just figure shit out.

People with lots of kids are not prepared for keeping their kids fed in a time of real catastrophe. Imagine, nice neighborhoods on the line with poor and destitute people.
This scenario eventually plays out.Doogles said:

If you know how to hunt, fish and prepare your own food you will be fine. How many people can hunt, kill, bleed, skin, quarter and prepare a deer? This is well less than 20% the population now. Maybe 10%. Urban centers are completely fucked and will devolve into bedlam quickly. I'll be fine.

Living in the desert my biggest concern is water. To that end, I have a pool and a distiller. I live amongst a large Mormon population, who are renowned preppers. As I have plenty of guns and ammo, I’m sure arrangements can be made.

The problem is most people know how where I live and the game will immediately disappear. They know how to can, jerk and store stuff.Swaye said:If you know how to hunt, fish and prepare your own food you will be fine.

Until my vehicles run out of gas, I could easily live on venison for as long as those fuckers keep trying to play tag with my car.
Could probably pick off a couple deer per week at the Compound. Those are the dumbest fucking animals.

Quick Note: With an EMP, all electronics will be fried. Only very old automobiles (with gasoline) will be operable. Computers will be inoperable.
Doubt that generators will be operable. -

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!

Sure … get your pointjecornel said: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.

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.hardhat said: -
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.Doogles said:

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