Thank you for the ping. 90%, that’s amazing. It’ll be tough going for those that are left.
90 %, rite
That 90% includes the folks who just gave up, because they were unprepared to live without electricity, internet,
refrigeration, TV, and all the other electronic amenities that we are currently used to having.
That is why it is so important to practice your preps, and learn to do without, or improvise, adapt, and overcome.
I know people who put up 'wheat berries', but don't know how to grow replacements, winnow, grind, or use them.
How many of us know how to garden to produce our own food supply, know of animal husbandry, meat preservation and butchery,
beekeeping, farming, mechanic repairs, repair our own houses, plumbing, wiring, etc., etc. ??
Many survival medications need to be refrigerated; do you know what is a 'spring house' ?.. or how to find a spring without a 'water witch' ?
Even my son, who has laying hens (but no rooster) appreciates the eggs,
but doesn't know how to make lay mash without the Ag supply store, or know of chicken nutrition or photosensitivity.
The most basic survival is : how to locate and purify fresh water ?
Without water, the average person exists for 3 days; and the average person needs a gallon per day.
No electricity equals no pumps for fuel or water; your water is only as clean as what is upstream.
If upstream is urban ... Good bye !
