The Soviets already tried EMP. It failed to do much of anything. Tempest in a teapot.
Wow. Haven’t seen you in a good while. Hope yer good archy!
Get an old hearse. People tend to leave those things alone.

That would be a weekend in Jonesboro where a lot of what modern life there is shuts down and people wander around listening to supposedly famous storytellers tell stories. Some were actually quite good. Meeting the horse that ate cheeseburgers was interesting.
Did you see him eat a cheeseburger?
Is that the Jonesborough south of Johnson City? If so, I’m fairly close. When is it? Sounds interesting. We moved to escape Mexifornia and get to a simpler life. That kind of entertainment would fit right in.
Me and my wife watched two burgers get hand fed to a big draft horse.
My horse nut (in a good way) aunt was shocked when I told her.
That sounds like the place. We stayed in the hotel’s there on the sojourns to the area. Really pretty area. I could handle living around there.
“Really pretty area. I could handle living around there.”
It’s an economically depressed area, which we like for two reasons - house prices are reasonable and it keeps out the liberals and illegals.
We retired early to both quit feeding the fascist beast and to live where we want we are young enough to enjoy it. Plus, when it all implodes we can be fairly self-sufficient here. Most of our neighbors already live that lifestyle because that’s how they were brought up.
So, join us when you can!

Not true. Read about test 184, which wasn’t even an intentional EMP. What we don’t know today is how big the tempest would be given the present state of technology if an EMP event were to occur.
I have to go with the ‘get an old Jeep’ people, on this one.
I have a question:
I recently saw a video about storing things like rice or beans in used, food-safe soda bottles; the presenter suggested that the cleaned bottles, with an oxygen absorber, would keep rice very well; and you wouldn’t have to use the mylar bags.
But I’ve never understood how to use oxygen absorbers - how do you know what size to get for, say, a 2 litre soda bottle full of rice?
(I’m asking because we can purchase huge bags of jasmine or basmati rice for cheap; but when we do, before we use it all up, we have bugs in it.)
Another question: Are the bugs in there to start, and then they just ‘bloom’; or do they somehow GET in? We never see any bugs in our house; but sometimes when we have some long-held grain-based stuff in the house, eventually it gets bugs.
I think they’re in there to start with, in some stage-of-life; and they just GROW ;-)
Thanks for any help,
JT
if you fill them tap them down and fill them some more and tap them down again there shouldn’t be enough to matter, but 100CC oxygen absorber should be good enough to do the job. I put my stuff in the freezer for 48 hours before I pack it for storage to kill off anything that might be in it.
Oxygen absorbers come at a min 100 to a package so be ready to to do a lot of packing quickly as they are activated as soon as you open the package and expose them to the air. if you have a vacuum food storage machine you can reseal the them or if you have the canning jar attachment you can also seal them up in a glass canning jar for later.
Thanks very much! I will give it a whirl. And, we do have a vacuum packer.

Did a year-long trip to Israel with my fiancée, who'd never been there before. In honour of our arrival, some of the neighbors put on a fairly spectacular fireworks display.
