“The amount of convenience that people rely on based on electricity alone. You start taking out electricity and satellites, and people are going to lose their noodle. People don’t have maps anymore. People use their iPhones or GPS systems, so if there’s no electricity, nobody has maps.”

Have a great big book of maps. Some bought, some homebrew. Been a delivery driver for too many years to go without. Should probably make more, they always come in handy.

As for the -20 without power, dealt with that at least once a year where I grew up. We had at least 5 years worth of split wood, and if we didn’t split more in August.

What I need for better survival:

1, more matches. I have candles and other light sources, but not enough matches. They always come in handy.

2, more gas in my car. It’s low, should be higher just in case I need to be somewhere quickly. Prolly have to wait until payday.

Should prolly start working on the panic box in the car. Need to put some non-perishables, and extra gas.

Any recommendation on guns? I’m not at the point where this becomes next on my list yet. I’ve got the permit and the training, I just don’t own one at this point in time.
