1. Walking shoes
Depending on what you ordinarily wear on your feet for work, you really should keep a pair of walking shoes or hiking boots in your vehicle. Don’t forget a decent pair of socks. You most definitely will be attempting to walk home and shoes that are not meant for long distance walking may lead to debilitating blisters on your feet.
2 . A detailed street map for your region
Most everyone drives to work on the main routes. While this may or may not be your best option to get home, you really should keep a good detailed street map. Many quality road atlas maps will go down to street level. I always carry them for my state and surrounding states, however you may find more local street map detail by searching online for your area. Also note that when you’re walking, things will look very different than when you’re used to quickly passing down the roads…
When an EMP has been identified you do not want to wait to start your journey home. Many will wait, expecting the lights to come back on and everything will return to normal. With an EMP it won’t. At least not right away.
Go to your car, pull out your bag and take stock of what you have. Additional supplies — that are vital to your survival — are discussed after the break.

Its getting closer bug out grear ready to go be wise if not your own fault.
I’m good. I’m an artist and Football coach. So I work out of home or across the street.
I’m a mechanic in a small rural town 4 blocks from work. Major rivers to the north and south with several streams ponds and lakes all around. Small game in town farms and gardens all over the place. I’ll just have to work outside and trade for everything I need.
Find that girl that you’ve been stalking for years and pay her a visit.
The police and everyone will be overwhelmed so have fun. But be careful and carry plenty of extra ammo in case you run into someone who has wronged you in the past
Take a bike=stolen at gunpoint when you pass bad men on the way cause everyone can ride one. Skateboard on the other hand is portable and much more unlikely to be stolen because most people can’t Skateboard.
Why?
Nice so you’re solution is steal and possibly kill. Better hope you don’t try to steal from me, cause this hippy prepper packs and am a damned good shot.
location, location, location….That is all you really need to understand on how to survive an EMP pulse. I know someone that is prepped to the max but also does lots of travel for his job. Your survival will depend on where you are when it hits. being 4 hours from home by plane turns into weeks of travel after an EMP. I live in a part of the U.S. that if I happens in winter the death toll by spring will be omg.
Anyone consider propane or natural gas, wood, wood pellets, or corn as alternate heat sources?
I think he was saying a board is less likely to get stolen not the he plans to steal… Chill dude.
I have a board and a sense of honor. Read my post. It says pass bad men: not I am one. I was trying to get people to consider my option:not communicating a threat. This is why I just read these posts and don’t comment much.
Ummmm. What “EMP” is identified? An exoatmospheric nuclear detonation? A coronal mass ejection damaging the power grid? Contrary to Internet belief, this will not effect your car. Get in your car, start it, drive home. Work on replacing your fuses and circuit breakers there, and use your generator sparingly.
