Within 3 days, the populations of the major cities will be moving out. They will be on foot, rabble, marching out into the country side and suburbs.

In three weeks, 90% of those with cardiac issues, diabetes and other diseases that require high medical needs will be dead or dying.

Those with proper prepping will have arms, food and water to survive at least three months. They will have to fight off the city folk for resources.

The “One Minute After” series of books is well written and pretty factual about what will happen...

That series of book is an absolute load of horseshit and nothing else written to gain some attention for some lobbyists to get some more dough for their “research”

A major solar event could potentially cause some huge damage and chaos and death but not to the extent of what they are hyping.

While there's some dispute about the actual severity of the damage done by the EMP, what he foresees as the breakdown of society, people going feral, and the die off's because of meds not being available, is chilling.

The one advantage I see is that so many city folks are so ill equipped to survive in the outdoors, that many will succumb to the elements, especially if it happens at a colder time of year.

He builds a good case for having a nice wood stove in in the house and not being so dependent on electric gadgets.

Homesteading skills will be invaluable.

We went to my son's in NH for Thanksgiving a few years ago, when that nor'easter hit. He lost power two hours before we got there on Tues. He lived ion a someone remote back road and it was Sat afternoon after we left to come home that he got his power back.

FORTUNATELY, he had a coal stove and a good supply of coal.

We made due with melting snow water for bathing and bottled water for drinking (his well was out) and cooked on the top of the stove ala Little House on the Prairie.

But we were comfortable and warm and what an eye opening experience that was.

As long as you can stay warm, you're good. I cannot fathom what it would have been like is he had no heat.

The biggest laugh we got out of the whole thing was the number of generators that were hooked up and running within a matter of hours. EVERYONE up there is prepared for power outages from nor'easters/ice storms.

I love my neighbors. And it was totally by accident that we ended up moving to a place where the neighbors were all prepared. I mean, we didn’t realize it at the time. We live on a short holler, that ends in the Cherokee national Forest. The neighbor at the very front of the road talk to me about how we could drop trees to stop anyone from coming in. And from his house he can see the road and take out anyone coming up. He also said he is keeping his black Angus herd for food and to barter, although he is retired and would rather give up all the work they entail. The guy at the very end of the holler has volunteered to be the armory for the road. He has enough ammunition to supply all of us, he says. However I don’t think that’s necessary since everyone else has their own supply. Everyone has Gardens. Most are from around here so they have the knowledge from their grandfathers and great-grandfathers. There are numerous Wells about, and people take power outages in stride.

I really had no idea we were moving into an area with people with the same mindset as us. It’s kind a hard when you’re looking at houses to go around and ask the neighbors about that sort of thing. Plus we didn’t want to tip our hand at what we were doing. And we really haven’t, we just kinda nod our head with these people but we don’t say too much. I don’t know if that makes them nervous about us or not, But they act like we fit in OK.
