Since the EMP will probably eradicate most electronic circuits you better plan on walking to the Sams. That begs the question on how to get all those supplies back home. It probably won’t take long for folks to figure out the power is not going to come back on for a while (many transformers on the power grid will blow all at once) so competition at Sams will probably be fierce. Even the government was recommending a emergency supply of 2 to 3 weeks. If you can, be prepared to sit it out at least 3 weeks after an EMP.
“If you can, be prepared to sit it out at least 3 weeks after an EMP.”
3 weeks is on the SHORT END. Of course I’m joking about going to Sam’s...there’s 250,000 people in their market here in Texas - if luck holds, I’ll get a can of Pork and Beans.
But I do try to spell out the COMPLACENCY of most Americans when it comes to this danger - when Indians lived off the land, we had about 2 million people. Now we have 350 million - if we try to, again, live off the land, we’ll have to ‘liquidate’ about 99.5% of our people (by some means). So yes, with them gone, the supplies at Sam’s will probably help us, and we’ll be able to get through it. Needless to say, it’s not exactly clear how we’re going to choose the 0.5% of the people to not kill off.
