Sorry, I got off on a wrong track.
It was post 8 that threw me off, I misinterpreted it, I guess that I missed your earlier two posts.
In regards to post 8 though, I think that preparing for EMPs, within reason, is a priority for dealing with whatever emergency period would follow.
A person who is prepared to deal without a power grid, is well on his way to living relatively normal in an emergency.
As long as I have light for reading, working in the evening, and for security and searching, and some music, and radios, I would be fairly comfortable.
My daughter and son-in-law are preppers. They have solar electric panels for emergency and lots of ammo for contingencies.
I live next to Eglin AFB, so WTSHTF, I’ll probably be a radioactive ash pile.....................
