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

The recent winter storm in Texas gave us a really good preview of what happens when the lights go off. Municipal water systems fail, the logistical supply chain goes down. Grocery stores are empty within a matter of hours.

Without electricity, we revert back to live as it was 150 years ago overnight except very few people possess the necessary daily subsistence and survival skills that our forefathers had.

Some of the anons are talking about a global reset in a few days

Just like the start of the covid lockdowns was to arrest the worlds evil, Oprah, Hanks, and so on- to GTMO....

You speak of this like a global power surge, permanent or otherwise...

This talk spreads and it causes grocery runs and TP shortages.

I think the always wrong anons mean the great reset is coming. This is a no brainer they have announced it, it is in the news. It is not the fairy land great awakening brainwashed into the nutjobs that believe every fringe site. I doubt the great reset will happen in the next few days, so why spread this stuff?

probably same thing as usual. Masturbate and drink all my beer.

I got water covered. Food I have 3 months worth plus deer and turkey's to hunt. The night's in my area would be okay because we're a bunch of mountain people. Keep the riff-raff out by just closing one road in.

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.

---

Yep the people in large urban centers would be so screwed.

They can make fun of people out in the country as a "backwoods redneck" but those people will continue on like little has changed.

Glad I have an overflowing well and lots of fish and wildlife... If I can make it 5-6 months will out being killed by one of them Ill be fine. Cause most of them will be dead.

I’ve read several fiction novels lately about the collapse of society due to an EMP or other huge natural disasters that knocks out the power grid. In pretty much all scenarios, people become very desperate and violent. Hunger makes people do crazy shite.

I don’t have kids, but I imagine all of you who do wouldn’t think twice about killing someone to take their food to keep your kids alive. That’s some scary shite.

The Carrington Event of 1859 would knock out power and most technology for an extended period of time. The Amish would hardly notice it except when the starving urban mobs descended on them.

The Carrington Event[1] was a powerful geomagnetic storm on September 1–2, 1859, during solar cycle 10 (1855–1867). A solar coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetosphere and induced the largest geomagnetic storm on record. The associated "white light flare" in the solar photosphere was observed and recorded by British astronomers Richard Carrington and Richard Hodgson. The storm caused strong auroral displays and wrought havoc with telegraph systems. The now-standard unique IAU identifier for this flare is SOL1859-09-01.

I highly recommend you read One Second After by William Forstchen

Great book, great author, great research and speculation on the subject... Forstchen has been on the forefront of pushing Congress to harden the US Electric Grid to ensure it is more stable and less susceptible to destruction from an EMP attack or massive solar flare.

quote:

There was a senator that went 'off the grid.' An EMP attack is quite plausible when we are divided with a weak leader. A giant solar storm is also possible, anything is possible...

This man was smart IMO. But unless we go off the grid like him. The best we could hope for is what we prepare for, for Hurricanes. We have all seen the grocery shelves depleted from Hurricanes. I did in Florence.

I highly doubt an anon that warns of catastrophe in a few days knows what they are talking about.

The biggest wildcard are those who had nothing or were never prepared for anything. The wokesters would be literally dying in the first couple of days. People will target the weak first and in those cities they are easy pickings.

Without electricity, a city or state would have no ability to clean or pump water to large urban populations. Millions would be dead in under a month.

Fresh water would be more valuable than gold.

Yep they would descend upon my area in droves but we're so remote that it would be very easy to manage. 3 days without water, 21 day no food. Los Angeles would be screwed.
