    Yeah -- I know my wife and I would have a very tough time because of our age. Younger folks who can hike for miles, would have it a little bit easier.

    We are SOOOOOOOOOOO not ready for this kind of attack.
    The only thing I have come even close to preparing for was the thread I did a couple of weeks ago on getting some Faraday bags for my two Red Dots so at least I would have better distance capability on my AR and my 22 pistol.

    I would hook up a stationary bike to some coconuts like they did on Gilligans Island and make power that way. I saw it on TV so it MUST be true.

    Ditto. That and then the following nuclear meltdown along the eastern side of the country will not be fun to live through.

    My biggest fear is being out of town and what ever "event" makes it almost impossible to get home. An EMP would surely do that.

    My exact concern. An 18-20 day walk at best, steadily moving up in elevation.
    I fear the nation I loved may be gone. The best I hope for now is to die with honor in the coming civil war, and that my grandchildren be spared the pain of a tyrannical government.

    Download it to your phone.

    Keep your phone charged up.

    Keep it in a farraday cage so it don't get "EMP'd".

    While everyone else is scurrying around trying to survive, . . . you can watch movies.

    May God bless,
    Dwight
    If you can breathe, . . . thank God.

    If you can read, . . . thank a teacher.

    If you can read in English, . . . thank a veteran.
