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

Well, the first thing I will say is the wildlife would be quickly exterminated. You cannot depend on hunting or fishing. Everything will be "legal" spotlighting, traps etc. Poison. It will be gone. I have quite a bit food stored, many guns, but really no high powered rifles...which I need. I would think the best scenario for people that live on the outskirts of cities is to man together and form a barrier around you. I read that during the Kosovo? crisis the three things to use for currency was rubbing alcohol, drinking alcohol and a section of a woman's anatomy. Made sense.

scrooster I'm so prepared ... grew up poor being prepared.

Made money, it stuck with me, took it to another level.

Have owned one of the most popular survival forums on the web ... sold it. Used the money to prep even more. Still own a few gun forums, various makers, with survival sub forums.

Own lots of acres down a long private dirt road. A farm with lots of chicken houses. Generators and 1000s of gallons of propane to run the houses if the grid goes down ... but I would open the doors, can chickens until we got tired of doing it ... use the rest for neighbors and to feed the vicious dogs.

I own a small arsenal and ammo to go with it. Solar panels would keep the freezers running for awhile.

A few years worth of buckets of rice and beans and pasta and jerkey and canned veggies. Plenty of seeds for gardens. A big family who is on the same page. A ton of first aid stuff ....

been thinking actually of writing a book about my 5Fs.
Food (short term, long term, fresh, frozen and freeze dried)
Fresh Water (possibly most important - be redundant)
Fire (cooking, heat, light, cleaning and sterilization)
First Aid (Including farmaceuticals ... this is important, ask me.)
Firearms (goes without saying but KISS)


I'm hardened from EMPs with backup panels and two old computer free pickups on the farm. A hardened diesel backup gen I had custom made from a Lister Peter engine. I could go on and on. I've posted pics of my reloading man cave on this forum before ... it would allow be to reload for a long time ... well into six digits, doubling my current stores. A complete hard copy library of "When there is no doctor" and various other books ... even the Firefox series. Hardened comms in Faraday cages. (ask me, it's easy) We practice twice a year, winter and summer extremes, by shutting down for 72 hours. I love these kind of threads and wish more people would get on board ... it's coming one day, be prepared. Ask me if you have questions. Good for everyone already with the program.

Scrooster

I bookmarked this page in hope to revisit it.

This post, alone is pretty damn good reading.


Would you expand on this? Anything you want to add would be pretty cool.


This is where I got really interested

I have about a months worth supply of food. Couple K in cash and a couple guns. Also have a couple bottles of cipro in the medicine cabinet. Not sure what I’ll do about water yet.

Holy moly!
Didn’t realize this was an old thread.
