Agree. A great read and a very sobering one. Truly frightening in its portent.

That is a scary, sobering read.

Have they fixed the grammar issues yet? (”would of,” “could of,” etc)

Terris Blackstock has a series of books written about this same subject. I think one of them is called “Last Light”. Really scary as well.

Never gave EMP much thought until a FReeper recommended the book. My God, the havoc it could create is unimaginable, but yet it would be hundreds of times easier to accomplish than a successful launch of ICBMs

I hear the science in the book is highly inaccurate and overblown.

After the pulse, just repair the damaged stuff.

Can readers remember what the most valuable bartering item was, when money was worthless? Bullets.

Yes for home protection, but more importantly for killing your food. And it won’t be deer and other large game. They will be depleted in very short order. No, it would be rabbits, squirrels, birds of all kinds, rats, and even domestic animals. So you can stock up on 357 magnum, but don’t forget the most valuable bullet which will be the versatile and accurate .22LR

Make sure you have enough "on hand" to last until things "clear" a bit.
Doesn't have to be perfect - something is better than nothing.
Doesn't have to be burried, but don't store it on your front porch, either.
Ammo, water (rotated), canned goods (rotated),ammo, rice, sugar, oil, batteries, ammo....

I’ve been wondering whether that missile launch off of California last week was a test for something like this.

It might be worth it if we went back to the Government we had in the late 19th Century.
