first three things after an EMP?

Check that. If waters an issue...you live in the wrong place.

1.

2.

3.

1. Water

2. Check on, and communicate with neighbors.

3. Hope for the best..

1. Go looting
2. Settle old scores
3. Panic sex

I start putting together my posse for and build a wall around our small town with slave labor that I create from the town of weaklings to our east.

I love that people think they're 'bugging out' to the country to be safe. You know what awaits you in the country? Instant death. Rural America isn't waiting for you and your BOB to come strollin' in here with a pie in the window and a spare bed made up. See, we were prepared for this too and we don't think you living in the big shitty was very smart - nor are you our problem.

Stay where you are. We find you fishing our river, hunting our deer, checking out our barn or sleeping in our woods, in an 'EOTWAWKI' situation, zero tolerance will be enacted. All you're gonna be doing is bringing us bags full of shit to eat or trade. If you think your little pop gun is gonna keep you safe, try fighting a 30-06 or 7.62 from a hundred yards.

Y'all have lived with this fantasy of roughing it in the woods and being smarter than everyone else because you packed some trail mix in a bag and have a gun. Nothing could be further from the truth. IF you survive the violent brown hoards, the violent white hoards, the violent black hoards, the people coming off of psych drugs cold turkey and the rogue/organized military - which is slim to none - you still have to deal with the large, conservative, intelligent, armed, self-sufficient families in prime bug out locations who've been waiting for this to happen. When it happens, staying where you are and trying to outlive your neighbors is your only hope. That and learning to love Soylent Green.

At the end of the day I think most of you will find the dead the lucky ones.

Sleep tight!

Now THIS is a plan.

Yeah,city-slickers, make sure to buy the highest quality gear for your BOBs and INCHs. Killing you for poor quality stuff will make us feel bad.

don't forget
if you have an implant
it will fry
and toxins will enter your blood

I'm not a city-slicker, nor would I be leaving where I am...and you are a disgusting human being.

:lol1:

Where do you think you will find water. Most water delivery systems rely on electricity to have water pressure. So it won't be flowing out of the Faucet.

How will you get to and from the store with your goodies without a vehicle?
How will you safeguard your stuff from thieves on the way home with it?

Without other preps already in place, you will be dead.

Always keep cash on hand. If an EMP, or any other major disruption hits, spend it all on food and supplies. Your credit or debit cards will not work once the grid goes down, or the banks close. Federal reserve notes wont be worth anything for very long, so want to spend them fast.

Run out and buy stuff. Yep...most of the posters here dead within 3 weeks.

So you think, post SHTF, that people in the countryside are going to be welcoming millions of self-important, know-it-all, useless, college educated refugees?

You have been lied to and don't get upset with me for warning you with the truth.

4. Go back to paper based porn.

1. Crush my enemies.

2. See them driven before me.

3. Hear the lamentations of their women.

You take me for ignorant and in need of your guidance. I am not, and you took an opportunity to boastfully out yourself as a sociopath.

For the love of all the rest of Humanity, I thank you for that...and that's all I have to say about it on a public forum group.

For my willingness to fight and die to protect me and mine makes me a sociopath? Piss off, hippie. You'll be served up as long pork in the first 2 weeks.

1. Lock my door and bug in for 4-6 months. I have enough preps

In the event the EMP is solar based and strong enough you won't have enough preps. In the event it's nuclear weapon based... it's a myth. You are not going to see wide spread grid failure from one blast. Localized sure but not continental, not even remotely close. They'd have to use about 5 over each state and at the point you might as well just hit the targets.

Oh? Is your house fire-proof?
