re: How many of you are prepared if there were a power grid attack on the U.S.

We might ... if you have a valuable skill.

Our club, what we call our Gun Club which is licensed and private, isnin essence a preparedness club.

We order ammo in bulk as well as freeze dried foods.

We have two doctors (and Internist and Urologist who is also a surgeon. We have a husband and wife dentist and oral surgeon. We have two mechicanial enginners and two mechanics. We have three farmers and one wife horticulturist. We have an electrical engineer and two electricians. We have three nurses (all three wives). Several of the above are ex-military and several other military types are members. All members are married and financially secure and prep on their own bit we're all coming together if the shtf ... we all prep the same and offer redundancy to one another for the sake and security of our families.

It's not difficult to do ... more people are doing it than most realize.

We would survive solar flairs and EMPs (ala One Second After which, BTW we hold a yearly retreat to Black Mountain and hablve for years ... long before the book came out. We're also about to hold our year fish camp retreat in March which is my favorite of all our get-togethers each year.)

What would be tougher to survive would be all-out nuclear war of course.

An asteroid impact larger than 800 meters in this hemisphere ... especially one that impacted in the South Atlantic.

A Yellowstone caldera eruption .... but that one would depend upon the time of year and where the jet stream was dipping at the time.

Those would be extinction type events but we could survive different levels and not other levels, it just all depends.If the grid were to go down though ... we've got that. Although city dwellers would be absolutely screwed in short order.

Most of us got serious about it after Katrina. Some of us were just raised that way ... it's in our DNA.
