After the collapse, I will live well - just as I do after a hurricane takes out power. I’ve had that experience several times and learned how to live better after each time. I will be at home with small footprint, impossible for me to head to the hills.
When power is off everywhere, there is a profound silence. That silence makes some people antsy/uncomfortable/nervous. Turning on a radio can help these people adjust and starting some activity also helps.
I have a portable TV so I can keep up with the news to have a connection to what’s happening around me. Also have short wave radio to listen to news.
Maybe some of you don’t want to hear what’s happening, but I like to know where the bad guys are, plus other news.
i thought i was the most prepared person in polk cty fla.
then came tropical depression deby.
with one tornado touched down on the other side of the lake and still having power i sat fumbling thru a pdf file on my itty bitty iphone to program my emergency solar crank radio. it took me 45 min to program the darn thing. then i realuzed my rain barrels were empty since i just drained them to clean AND then the storm knocked off the rain tubes. hence no longer filling barrels.
no mater how much we prepare its going to be a real eye opener when it happens. and it aint gonna be fun.
