Without Electricity... Can You Live Like It's 1880!?
THE MOST SERIOUS THREAT WE FACE IS...
The Power Grid being hacked/disabled if at war.
“If the grid went down for a long enough time…
90 percent of the U.S. population would die from starvation, lack of water, and social disruption. We are talking about total devastation.”
-- Ambassador Henry Cooper, Former Director of U.S. Strategic Defense
COMMON TERMS: a SHTF event (Shit Hits The Fan, i.e. a major disaster), HOMESTEADING (backyard garden/farm to a full family farm/ranch)
All equipment you buy in the beginning should always and primarily be focused on 'SURVIVAL' equipment - items that you absolutely need to live AND that have DUAL FUNCTIONALITY:
MOBILE USE | Small, Portable, lite enough to carry yourself in a Mobile Bag, Cart, or Backpack.
Secondarily, what you can easily and quickly pack in a car. If you can't carry it with you, you may have to abandon it - and thus it will do you no good to buy, at least initially.
BASIC HOME USE | It should also be good enough to use in your home, at least in a basic or primitive way.
You should develop 1 MOBILE SURVIVAL PACK PER PERSON. If you get separated, each person (adult, teen, and child) needs to have a basic survival pack AND know how to use the equipment inside.
INDIVIDUAL SURVIVAL PACKS
Be Prepared.
If you have to 'bug-out' and leave your home for some unforeseen reason (fire, sewage backup, gangs), you can only take what you can carry with you.
Your critical survival equipment can only be small and portable.
