Nobody got off on the wrong foot, except you. I never said I was a survivalist. I said I am a "prepper". What is a Prepper?A prepper is someone that creates a plan, gathers resources, and gains skills so that they can be more prepared for emergencies, disasters, and other survival situations.
 Preppers are normal people from all walks of life that understand the need to plan ahead to prevent hardship.Preppers try to reduce their dependencies on infrastructure. There are several strategies for this, including:

• stockpiling and storing extra resources (esp. food, water, tools)
• learning survival skills
• building resilient communities
• or going off-grid

Most preppers use a combination of these strategies to better prepare themselves and their families for a wide range of potential threats. The combination they use can let you know what ‘level’ they have pushed their preparedness to.

Question for you? Do you have a firearm in your Big Rig?

What cracks me up is guys with bug-out bags on the ready. I mean, if you're ex-military and a trained survivalist, and ya have a map and a compass and a PLAN - a LOCATION where you are bugging out TO, then cool. But if you're not, what in the holy **** is that bug out bag for?

I'm a prepper and a realist. 22kW whole house gen...1 year of food on hand, and all the water I will need. Weapons, ammo, ect.
 

All your intellectual preparation is done in artificial time logistics, not evolving in series parallel time. Might give your character peace of mind but your brain knows it won't work as planned.

The average person cannot navigate with a compass. Many can't read "orientate" a map correctly. I'm not knocking them, just stating a fact.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. My problems are induced by everyone else doing the same things over and over expecting better days next rotation of the planet because humanity promised life isn't self evident time genetics actually eternally separates the lifetimes with beating hearts as ancestrally here now.

So, how old were you when you attempted  to walk the Appalachian Trail? I'm sure about a 100 pounds lighter than U R now. Right?

The federal government released the results of a multiday emergency drill intended to assess our ability to handle the next massive solar storm. Unfortunately, it sounds like there’s a lot of room for improvement. According to a report published earlier this month by the Space Weather Operations, Research, and Mitigation (SWORM) task force, institutions across […]



Experts routinely review protocols and options for the next inevitable cataclysmic asteroid strike, for example. But while that kind of cosmic predicament only occurs roughly once every 25,000 years, massive solar storms happen more frequently. These flare-ups generate gigantic clouds of energized gas and dust that can bombard Earth at speeds of roughly 2 million miles per hour. Such particles subsequently distort the planet’s magnetosphere and produce atmospheric displays like the aurora borealis. But in an interconnected and digitized world, these forces can also wreak havoc on power grids, communications systems, and satellite arrays.

However, even if agencies implement better response protocols and clearly articulate risks to the public, the fact remains that a solar storm’s lead time is incredibly short. Currently, experts are only able to accurately assess the incoming impacts of a coronal mass ejection around 30 minutes before it reaches Earth. SWORM noted “significant discussion was dedicated” to just how little a half an hour’s heads up affords agencies, and suggested developing an advanced warning system—even if it’s imprecise. 

The first US solar storm emergency drill did not go well

I am very confident TRUMP will have MUSK and Space X take a look at those measures needed to effectively give us more advanced "warning".

Well it's timely since the Sun just unleashed massive shyt at us.

We seem to have hardened ourselves since the Carrington Event when the sun powered the telegraph wires.

What about Food and Heat keep ya warm 

Fresh Potable Water too that ya can drink not get sick

Look we maybe got off on the wrong foot okay.

What I hate about most "Survialist" they all about guns but no practical "Survival" Skills either

Do you have a weapon in your truck?

I just ordered three for the pantry. If/when SHTF, they might be mighty handy. 

The well is 400 feet deep and should continue to provide, but ya never know - and there's plenty of water near my house, including a small lake on the property.

Most would call it a pond, but it's spring fed and has egress which feeds a small but constant stream - so technically, it's a tiny lake. 
 
Thanks for the heads up.
