Perhaps I should have read the rest of the comments before posting. It’s clear to me now that you forgot your /s tag.

But seriously, generator in a Faraday cage, with a bunch of replacements for your necessities (boards for freezers/etc).

This is what I would do if I seriously thought an EMP was a threat.

I’m kind of a prepping skeptic. If I go all out and prep magnificently, all it takes is one person besides me to know that I have, when the system crashes I’ll have to be shooting people all day long, every day.

I think it’s more practical to buy things that will allow you to survive, hunting gear, etc. Some antibiotics, other medicines, flint, weapons, warm clothing, camping gear, one of those nice hand held water filters that can filter sewage , Iodine tablets, maybe a few packs of dehydrated water and some dehydrated food, perhaps a weeks worth. But why stock up on food/water? This makes you a HUGE target, and when the SHTF you need to be GONE , OUT, MOBILE.

I prep because I like emergencies, they are fun for me and I like the challenges, and I like helping people, and watching people, and learning about people, the shooting part seems to be pretty rare and not exactly a realistic scenario, meaning that once you have your basic defense covered, then concentrate on more important areas, like wheat and beans, or water, if a person is not natural born to fighting, then I can understand them having to work at preparing themselves for it, and it always being on their mind, and them always buying more gun goodies in the hope that it will change or overcome something.

Maybe it is because of my life and background, but I kind of take defense for granted, it is dealing with the emergency that interests me.
