The latest EMP commission found the United States is confronted with "a present and continuing existential threat
from naturally occurring and manmade electromagnetic pulse assault
and related attacks on military and critical national infrastructures."
"An EMP event would produce an electric power outage over large areas of the country that could last for a year or longer."
It has been predicted that the loss of electrical power could result in the loss of 90% of the U.S. population within one year.
"If Ye are prepared, Ye shall not fear !"
Prepared means spiritual, physical, emotional, financial, and life supporting skills and conditioning
to sustain whatever trials you may have to endure,
and for an unknown, indeterminate length of time until common sense or civility returns.
Even the Scriptures instruct us to:"Gird up your loins", which doesn't mean for us to put on pantyhose(!), but rather to practice preparation.
Have you ever gone camping in winter (without a tent) ?
Ever cooked over wood, or coal without a stove ? (our grandparents did !)
Know how to pluck and clean a chicken that you've harvested (our grandparents did !)
Know how to use and construct a "spring house", or know alternatives to electrical refrigeration (our grandparents did !)
Know the difference between hybrid and heirloom seeds, and how to garden and save improved seed varieties (our grandparents did !)
Many of these basic life-skills have been somewhat lost, or forgotten, due to the convenience of "Giggle","Fakebook" or "Twikkle" searches.
But these skills can be found in the "Fox Fire" Series of books; consider being proficient in 2 or 3 of these skills to improve your survival.

Thanks for the ping.
