Preparing for the EMP of all EMPs

At the zero hour of an EMP, your time to prepare is over.

At that moment whatever you have, you have.  Stores will be looted, ATM won't work, and generally it will be "every man for himself". 

Think about it.  The number of toilet paper rolls you have at that moment, will be the number you have until you run out.  There will not be a store to buy more.

But there are other supplies that will be even more crucial at that moment.

Water, for example will be a big issue.  If you live in an area that has municipal water, you may have water for a while, but that would surely run out.  If you have your own well, how do you get the water without electricity.  Water is probably the number one issue especially for an extended period of time.

Of course food will be important.  You will need food for you and your family for at least a few months.  Then you need to be able to raise your own.  There will be no food stores.

How will you stay warm in the cold weather?  The other day we had a snow storm and some people lost their power for a number of hours.  It gets cold quickly inside a house.  Is there alternate heat for you home should you be without electricity?

There are just so many things to start thinking about and preparing. 

We may only have a short time to get ready.  Know one knows the time, but once that zero hour is here, time to prepare is over.

Their 2008 Critical Infrastructure Report explains EMP effects, consequences, and protection means for critical infrastructure sectors. EMP and GMD are particularly challenging in that they interfere with electrical power and electronic data, control...

King of Bushcrafting (and Homesteading)

For the past few years our King has been stressing the need to know bushcrafting and homesteading.  How many times have we seen the insides of his backpack, contents of his pockets, and more?  He has been our teacher and guide into the world of bushcrafting and the wilderness.  After all he is the "Wilderness King" The skills he has been preaching about are survival skills.  So many of us have never killed our own chicken, trapped wildlife for food, or even fished for our own supper.  We also are ignorant of what wild nuts, fruits, berries and bugs we can eat to survive.  But he has been leading us into this strange world of survival by living off the land. Is all this just because it fascinates our King?  Does he just want to gross us out by eating bugs?  Is his interest because it is a passion for him? Getting us more physically in shape is also part of what our King is talking about.  This is not just so we can live long and prosper....
