No they are not prepared to survive an EMP I no sooner posted this than my power went off for about 3 minutes due to high winds/ rain storm Last Edited by cookie lady on 11/01/2013 08:33 AM |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 49272719 Ireland 11/01/2013 08:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'll be fine! But I'm amazed at how stupid and unprepared the masses are. There's an emergency water shortgage notice over here for the Dublin area, because they've messed up the treatment centre or some shit. They've turned the water off during the night and told people to be careful how much they use. The radio had a phone-in and one girl said that she was scared she'd run out of water in the shower while she was washing her hair. Didn't occur to her not to use the shower but use the washbasin instead. Boy are they in for a surprise when TSHTF. |

The American Blackout movie didn't even touch on any of this stuff, and if an EMP attack happened during the fall going into winter...or winter itself...can you imagine the casualties that would result just from not having heat alone? I thought most vehicles would not be able to operate, so just remember, those that have a bugout location wouldn't be able to get to it unless by foot! I have not read the book, but my husband has it upstairs so guess I should some time....One Second After. |

Either way it would be bad...even in summer, can you imagine the garbage build up in the cites in particular? The DISEASE that would be festering? The STENCH since food (and anything else) would rot faster?! When I took a ghost tour in Gettysburg a few weeks ago, they talked about how after the battle in July, there were so many dead they were just piled up. In addition to that, there was excrement in the streets from the soldiers, rotten horses, mules...body parts. The tour guide said said the stench was so bad it could be smelled 2 hours away in Philadelphia if the wind was right. |

No Dhimmi (OP) User ID: 14630 United States 11/01/2013 08:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've got a well marked on my map which is much higher than the house, about 100 yards away uphill. Is there some sort of gravity pump that doesn't need electric I wonder? My well is over 300 ft deep - but the water rises up to the pump mechanisms. My actual lower cylinder, pipe, pump rod, a foot valve go down to about 120 ft. The water flow is excellent. ALL relevant scriptures that include a time factor prove no pre-trib rapture.

Epic Beard Guy User ID: 41632673 United States 11/01/2013 08:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Prepping means being ready for what ever comes. Firewood is a must in the north. An EMP could send a region, country, hemisphere, or the world, back to the 19th century. Being self-sufficient is the only way you will survive. In the case of an EMP, that could mean surviving long term without any of the things we have come to depend on. Prepping for a few days will get you through most natural disasters, but that's barely a start for a major EMP. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe |
