EMP is definitely a component in our preps. But yes, that section has the best info on it, vs. here in the General forum.
 
I suppose most if not all of our members are aware of the satellites floating above our heads whose only purpose is to explode an Nuclear bomb , creating an EMP . I have noticed some thinking a missile would be used for the upcoming EMP . While that is plausible , multiple EMP bombs has already been put into position . It came to my attention today , even North Korea has two known EMP satellites in orbit . How many EMP satellites Russia or China has is unknown but we can be assured it is a significant number . The EMP attack we can expect minutes or seconds before we fell the ground shaking from ground strikes . Also of interest is the ability to maneuver the EMP satellites into whatever location they deem desirable . --- Also notable is China has announced their intention to start stopping ships and searching them , if they appear to be heading to Tiwan . Tiwan Leader says they will not submit to the searches . Any thinking prepper can see where this is heading .
 
Some years ago I read that China and NK have an EMP go over the Country once a day.

There is zero doubt in my mind that China will EMP the USA. They most likely will start with a full fledged infrastructure cyber attack. At any rate it all equals the same thing…

BE PREPARED TO LIVE LIKE IT IS EARLY 1800s!!
 
I want to add to the above…. BE SURE and head to your BOL when large scale cyber attacks begin! Do not wait!! Being ahead of the crowds coming out of any city is essential.

Those, like me, who are where they are staying for the disaster can opt to take a last run to the locally owned feed store and perhaps small grocery store. Be prepared to pay in cash.
 
One more.


If you don’t have your Post Disaster Plan in writing in a binder with full instructions, do one now! This will organize you and your family and group.

Mine is broken into sections according to the disaster…EMP, Cyber Attacks, War Attack or Invasion, Natural Disaster and just added, Toxic Events like Local Train Derailments.
 
For the reason Poltergeist states above, is why I believe most folks are not going to be able to get 60 miles or more from the cities. Even the gangs will be stuck closer to where they live. Walking will be the only way and those on the roadways will kill each other for water and food.

Preppers need to store fuel and get out fast. Otherwise even their extra fuel won’t be able to get them out. The roads will soon clog and then full stop as others run out of gas.
 
From personal experience know those that think they can simply pull up to a fuel station and pump up the fuel using some sort of personal pump will be disappointed , then likely die . I have told before . but will repeat , when Hurricane Katrina devastated the lower portion of the United States , I went to rescue family members . With not any electricity for hundreds of miles , " all " the fuel stations were closed and the owners fully armed inside the stations were guarding the holding tanks . -- The only way that I succeeded on the mission was that I was hauling many cans of gasoline hidden under a blanket that allowed me to go deep into the devastation and return to my survival grounds . There was no doubt many would have killed me to obtain a can of fuel if they had discovered what I was hauling .
 
So, what is timeline here y'all are expecting this to happen? Weeks, months or "sometime" within next few years? At least one poster back in March warned 30 days for "something" to go down...and I think indicated May, something?

Serious question, not being sarcastic. I don't have a bol...I'm in my home and will stay here where I am...

I've got a lot of work scheduled for May and beyond...I'm expecting all will transpire, status quo (as usual)...am I blinded fool? I'm expecting we got quite a bit more time..

Feeling it creeping up on us, and it's coming.. but not feeling it's dire at this point, yet.

What say y'all? Thoughts?
 
When the crash is coming is a guess to everyone. We know for certain that the powers that be are at war with each other, which is why there isn’t a fixed date. I would put things going badly in the winter. They clearly are bringing us down slowly…so we all don’t panic until it is too late.

China , Russia and any other country that wants to bring the United States or NATO down will make their move while the Biden / puppet is occupying the White House . That gives us somewhere between today and January 1st. 2025 . 2nd. ongoing SHTF - An catastrophe brought on by pure stupidity and corruption is in progress right now as we can witness at the prices at stores . This is a slower moving economic collapse . The world will see an overall SRI Lanka , Venezuela outcome but that may slow walk for decades . The two countries mentioned have people at this point living under plastic shelters along stream banks to have access to water . This will be seen in even the so called advanced countries .
 
Yes. I think that's good assessments. I've been doing best I can. It is nerve racking. Something new seems to happen or come out daily. I'm in a work environment where NOBODY brings up anything going on. At least 10 hrs. a day, I'm in the blind. I try to catch up evenings n weekends. Making progress slowly, but steadily. On one hand I want it all to come to a head and stop painfully dragging it out and we get to the other side of it, but at same time, I'm probably admittedly not fully prepared for every scenario and could always use more time. I suppose that will likely always be the situation, til it isn't.
 
I feel the same way about ours.

I really worry about my husband traveling for work when it happens.

And I worry what we will do if our garden fails. Every new garden is a gamble. Ugh.

I could see this happening in winter, too.
The report I posted on gardening about why our gardens are failing is scary. The DS has us by the.....well, you know.

I agree with @poltiregist 's timeline. They have to get the ball rolling with Biden in office, too risky to do it with a competent/less compliant administration installed. There seems to be multiple fronts that are interconnected.

-Economic; which would include the implementation of a digital currency, crashing the stock market/currency, spending into oblivion, etc
-Social; completing the degradation of everything that made this country strong and resilient including the churches, food production, (remnants of) the free market, individual liberty and privacy
-Government; the exchange of our freedoms for "safety" and security, including private property rights and health, war, climate change

Thing is, it has to be a big enough train wreck that people will cry out for anyone to make it stop and the party that offers the most goodies (chicken in every pot A la Hoover), will get their vote. IMO it is the only chance they have of holding office.

most people in the UK travel on low fuel tanks, only filling up when the fuel light comes on, in the event of an emergency they queue up at the filling station, the lines sometimes go for miles, even when the filling station puts out an empty sign, we have seen it all before.
these people arent going to get far with the little fuel in their tanks, the roads will be full of abandoned and out of fuel vehicles.
BTW I dont let my fuel tank go below half , even with that amount I can drive for several hundreds of miles.

Isn't there some sort of plant(s) that can be grown to feed chickens? Are there insects which can be cultivated? Or worms?

I have always wondered why people have to buy feed when they have room to grow things. Then again, I have no idea what I'm talking about.
 
This upcoming week , my project will be building an about 35 by 35 foot chicken pen . Right now my pigeons and chickens are sharing an enclosure and that certainly is not an ideal situation . The chicken feed thing after SHTF is also something that I have been pondering . At least during the warm months , I may throw woodland ground litter such as leaves into the pen to attract insects for them to feed on . Also I have been cultivating earth worms that I could feed them . There is also black soldier fly larva that I may try this summer .-- It is disturbing to see someone thinking their neighbors will somehow save them or things will not collapse to that point .
 
-- It is disturbing to see someone thinking their neighbors will somehow save them or things will not collapse to that point .

That thought process is what will be the undoing of civility. Government "help" always comes with restrictions and strings attached. Neighbors will only help so far as it does not hurt them.

If you have something to barter, something they need (goods or services), to exchange for something you need, that is a different deal. Even then, if there is a drought, a flood, a hail storm that destroys a crop and they come up short, any deal you have might be canceled.
