Indeed Jansman, but if we as a prepping group could plan to meet as a community...we cant survive as single preppers but together we are stronger....we could all meet at a single location and build a new life.....after all this is what this forum, this group is about...we prep for the big event...we just hope we never have to face it...
At the end of the we are all here for a reason...

Re: EMP Letter
It IS true that POSSIBLY the Big One could happen. I agree. I also agree that in a major crisis a group is FAR better than the individual, there is absolutely no doubt about that. However, if that scenario did play-out, then I would NOT be teaming up with anyone here, no disrespect. I would be teaming up with the most powerful human force ever known. Family. My family are the only people I would ever trust, in any situation.
The online communities we all participate in are just that -online.
The online communities we all participate in are just that -online.
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

Re: EMP Letter
This a modified opening report on EMP in the UK from the daily mail about a year/ 18 months ago.
They only printed the first few lines.
It’s Sunday morning and you have big plans for the day, but you wake up an hour late –the alarm didn’t go off. By the time you open a warm refrigerator and struggle with a useless coffee maker, you’ve figured out the problem. Blackout. No problem – you’ve been there before. An hour or two, and life will be back to normal.
By the end of the day, you’ve begun to realise something is seriously wrong. The water has stopped, the toilet is overflowing, the phones aren’t working and, that night, you look out your upper floor window at a city plunged in darkness.
Three days later the stores have run out of food, and you’ve run out of cash – the ATMs
Two weeks later, if you’re still
don’t work.
alive, you’ve managed to get out of the city, and found somewhere far from the local nuclear power plant. From the plumes of smoke, you realised meltdown started a few days ago.
After witnessing brutal attacks on people for a no more than a crust of bread you fear for your life. You decide to head North away from civilisation and into the surrounding hills, you are cold, dirty, hungry and tired, you haven't slept in days and have no idea how to make a fire without matches or a lighter. You hide alone and scared.
Welcome to your new World...
Prep for it and your Story is a different one..

By the time you open a warm refrigerator and struggle with a useless coffee maker, you’ve figured out the problem. Blackout. No problem – you’ve been there before. An hour or two, and life will be back to normal. You grab your go bag, fire up your stove and make yourself a coffee. As your day was going to be sorting out your kit you decide to press on regardless.
By the end of the day, you’ve begun to realise something is seriously wrong. The water has stopped, the toilet is overflowing, the phones aren’t working and, that night, you look out your upper floor window at a city plunged in darkness. By now you have guessed it is some kind of EOTW event and start to put your Plan A into place, Thanks to the 72 hours of rations in your bag you have a hot meal and drink.
Three Days later you are out of the City, you are not as far as your Plan A due to the car not starting, Plan B kicked into action and you walked out of the City. Two weeks later you have set up camp in the surrounding hills keeping an ever watchful eye on the area, you have heard of attacks from bands of hungry disparate people.
You are Clean, Warm and well rested with a nice rabbit roasting over an open fire.

well put and exactly summed up my thoughts on 'prepping'jansman wrote: I have been round a year or two. I understand my own mortality.
Like the Bedouin Tribesmen I adopt the attitude they have. 'Today we have food and shelter-tomorrow is another day'.
I think you reach an age where you adopt a certain calmness about life-especially when you are past halfway!
