An EMP Strikes While at Work. Here Are the Steps We Must Take Next.

5. Shelter

Since your walk home may take many days, you will need to shelter and sleep along the way. At least carry a simple tarp and cordage to erect a simple shelter.

6. Clothing

Appropriate clothing for the season. Plan for wet weather and carry at least a rain poncho. Hypothermia can kill you so be sure you’re prepared for that. Stay dry. Most people when off to work do not plan on needing adequate outerwear to be able to walk home in comfort and safety.

That's it for everything you need, right? No, there's still more. It's better to be over prepared than not at all!

    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.

    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.

  8. Wayne Dellinger said:

    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.
