What would you do if the power went out on the entire planet?

Do you have a safe plan for how to manage such a crisis?

Some of the anons are talking about a global reset in a few days. It made me think about what would I do in the event of such a crisis.

Granted they are talking about turning the power back on but still that is a really wildly scary thought.

I’m good for 4-6 weeks minimum as long as a horde doesn’t descend on my property.

Fire up my generator until I ran out of fuel. This will at least give me enough time to gradually wean my kids off the comforts they come to rely on.

Why not use your flashlight while it's still dark?

Permanently, or like for an hour?

Makes a difference.

Celebrate my freedom. Do what I work all year to do - hunt, fish, gather, camp. Summer would suck with no a/c but I would definitely not mind seeing a prolonged period like this.

Let’s face facts: the majority of us would probably be dead within 3 months. At least the soy boys and girls will go first.

Going to my camp in Grand Isle.

I’ll barricade the bridge onto GI and shoot anyone who tries to cross without the proper password.

The password will be: Trump won by a lot!

Progs won’t be able to say it and will be shot on site.

"manage"...hmmmph. Outside of residing in a community of good folk who are somewhat prepped...there will be no management.

At least half of the population here would die without electricity. The key to survival is to lose the little bit of humanity you have. Everyone outside of family and close friends are the enemy. Wait for an opportunity to kill someone with something you need. You can't second guess anything. Act on impulse. You have to become an animal. No way around it.

If something like that were to actually happen and the electricity stayed off for an extended amount of time, the result would be nothing short of anarchy in rapid fashion.

We'd probably lose a massive % of the US population in the first 3 months. Some say 90%+

If these type scenarios interest you, I highly recommend you read One Second After by William Forstchen.

https://www.amazon.com/Second-After-John-Matherson-Novel/dp/0765356864/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=One+Second+After&qid=1616534108&sr=8-1

This is a very well-written fiction about the aftermath of an EMP attack on the US that takes down the electrical grid.

good fricking plan. When all shite goes south this is how we recognize who is on which side. I would go with "the election was stolen" though. The left is great at mental gymnastics, they could find someway to say Trump won by alot and it not being about the election.
