Darkness Survival: How to Manage Life Without Electricity

[@reneebrown2968]

All water should be filtered and boiled before consumption no matter where it comes from during power outages.

[@cantfindmykeys8104]

Humans lived without electricity for over 60,000 years.....I think we are gonna be alright 😊

[@0CielPK]

Agree, but we did not have all the contamination we have nowadays. Water and knowledge are the main concerns. Most people do not know how to survive 3 hours without tiktok

[@HurairahHomestead]

Those of us who have experience with it. The rest are going to panic. It is a whole different world when you do not have electricity.

[@reneebrown2968]

If you live in the United States or really anywhere, you better have an emergency radio. I bought one from Walmart for under 20$ and it has 3 ways to power it, and it has a flashlight on it too. Everyone should have one of these.

[@marytica123]

We do too - but keep in mind, once the radio stations run out of fuel for their emergency generators, they too will be "off the air" ! You really need an emergency radio which also has "short wave" an "international" capability.

Don't think such things can happen, just look at The Texas Blackout February 14-20, 2021 and what has happen because of Hurricane Helene.

Gas station can run pumps with a generator that runs in gas.stores can use calculator to add up food and take cash .dont panic your camping.get a wind up clock now.a regular wrist watch.get a car CB that plugs into your phone charger.stock up on water now.get a water filter.get a camp cook stove that runs on propane.or a small grill and charcoal.i but oil lamps at goodwill for $5.00 get a Gun your going to need it to protect your family.if you can't get a Ax or pitchfork or steel ballbat.

[@tommysimmons5266]

You would need a industrial generator,

[@LisaRucker-x8k]

@tommysimmons5266 I'm sure the gas station can get a good generator.my friends Dad made a huge one.

[@outbackeddie]

@@tommysimmons5266 All you need is the correct voltage and adequate watts to run the pump. I'm guessing 120-volts and 1,200-watts would be enough to run most pumps. Even a small 2KW Honda generator can handle that.

[@joeblow8206]

Why do you all think that any of that crap you all mentioned will even matter after shtf. Anything you power., including vehicles won't work or be needed. Stop trying to make the world after shtf, like the world before. It's pointless

[@Michaelfatman-xo7gv]

Most gas stations have done the numbers and they lack a backup generator.

[@KyleGertner]

Unless it's winter, i enjoy when the power goes out. There is a peaceful calm. Except for milking cows, i can live without electricity just fine. I do have a portable milking unit i could run off a gas generator.

[@HurairahHomestead]

Also, PRACTISE for power outages. We can talk theory all we want, but, we need to have actual EXPERIENCE doing it. For example, if the power is out for a long time, it is going to become necessary to grow your own food and have endurance to walk long distances. Both of these need to be practiced LONG before the lights go out. Depending on where you live, storing water may, or may not be a viable option. A 55 gallon tank only goes so far.

[@spellerlittlewing]

It’s call lifestyle people been living in the darkness centuries ago t the lady people has became a bunch of weak I don’t use lights most of the time i battery radio a pocket stove the fuel for it sleeping bag tents etc Minimalism helps also nothing to really lose 😊

[@larryjanson4011]

and here in cal the gov will cut your power to protect his benefactors interests.

[@reneebrown2968]

That's only one of the many reasons I left that state.

[@manmeetsinghmehta5815]

Back to you

[@KarenLee-m4o]

I might miss a few things for a little while but then you just pick yourself up and keep going but I'm also older.. I have been without utilities more than I can count I have been homeless.. so if you can be homeless you can live without the utilities.. the only thing I'm worried about is the modern kids of today that are glued to their smart devices.. that is going to be concerning.. you name the crime it's going to be committed.. and I think the kids modern society kids are going to be doing all the crimes.. but I can guarantee adults are going to be at each other's throats as well.. it will be a free-for-all it will be every man for themselves literally.. we know what's going to happen we just don't know where to in my direction they have been playing with the electric they've been shutting it on and off.. just to see what people are going to do.. just be ready for anything and everything

[@PhillipStewart-k7f]

Me to😮😊

[@KarenLee-m4o]

@PhillipStewart-k7f so you are not the only one that has lived without utilities... so have I have been homeless more times than I can count.. there's no utilities out in the woods.. from the month of May to almost October I was homeless .. so I got used to not having anything.. and modern homeless people today I don't know if they would miss anything or not they are used to not having anything..

[@KarenLee-m4o]

Did this guy cover a septic systems sewer systems... a lot of people have electric pumps in their houses.. when the electric goes guess what else is going to go.. you might be doing your business in a bucket..

[@marytica123]

We had to do that during hurricane Irma in Florida - nasty !

[@KarenLee-m4o]

@marytica123 he covered some great topics except for septic systems.. that a lot of people have electric pumps.. what it goes out guess what you don't have anymore.. a toilet you're going to be doing your business in a bucket.. he also needs to cover the topic of being prepared for a handicap family members and elderly family members.. what are you going to do for them.. unfortunately I see a lot of people dead no question on it.. handicapped people elderly people are going to be the first people on that list.. sad unfortunately it's the truth

[@spellerlittlewing]

Hey my great elders did and used a out house

[@KarenLee-m4o]

@spellerlittlewing definitely an outhouse.. we went camping and we had to use an outhouse we thought it was funny.. but I have been without utilities more times than I can count.. because I have been homeless more times than I can count.. my bathroom was a great outdoors.. LOL I might miss a few things yes no question on it.. but since I am older just pick yourself up and just keep going.. I would be worried about people going around and committing crimes.. because you know that's exactly what's going to happen when all hell breaks loose that's when the snakes and the Rats come out to Prey Upon the weak people

[@fedmontal9904]

Blah blah blah blah

[@reneebrown2968]

It's only blah blah blah till you have no electricity for a week or more.
