Survival Experts WALK YOU THROUGH an EMP AFTERMATH

[@michaelchilds-qn3bl]

You dont. Mother nature and father time are going to exhaust you eventually, and you'll become energy for someone or something else. People outside of civilization don't live very long due to lack of medicine, shelter, community, and technology.

My health went south due to unseen events that left me on oxygen and wheelchair 24/7. I live in a mobile home community and get along with my elderly neighbors. In SHTF times, I’m staying right here. When the food and water runs out I’ll be gone. It’s that simple. I can’t run for the hills and only have my life’s lived knowledge to offer others in a community. Marauders can take me out quickly and that fact is what I live and die with. God bless you younger folks. This is one grandpa who’s staying home to the end.

For the past 2 years, I have been getting in shape for the 1st time in my life. I am 46 and I lost 85 lbs in a year. I am now the healthiest and strongest Ive ever been.

Ive been learning about the plants around for food and medicine.

It's fight or flight. For those of us who aren't blessed with fighting skills, invest in a good pair of running shoes and run sprints on a weekly basis. For me it's Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit shoes which allow me to run as fast as I possibly can in a SHTF scenario. To test my training I walk through gang/drug infested neighborhoods from time to time to get a feel of what I must do to survive possible attackers.

My number one prep has been to improve my health. For the past twenty-seven months, I have eaten the Carnivore diet. I'm 75 and have now reversed T2 diabetes, high blood pressure, brain fog, and many other maladies. Life is much better once sugar and carbohydrates are out of the body. No more hangry, no more hypoglycemia and no more needing to eat or snack NOW. I eat once a day now and am easily able to go even longer with a clear head and ample energy. When SHTF, most people will be in trouble when that Cliff bar in their pocket is eaten and gone. Insulin resistance is our enemy. I'm enjoying life without sugar and carbs. Such an improvement!

I’m a strength and conditioning coach, and a prepper. The biggest hole in the preppers tool box is fitness. It’s not sexy, or some cool gadget, but it is essential! Walking with a light pack for an hour shouldn’t even register on your fitness scale. If it does, it’s a great indicator of what you need to work on. That being said, I was delighted to see several comments from people talking about improving their health and fitness. Keep up the great work! For the rest of you not working on your fitness, the best time to start is today!

[@melissa5907]

I’m in my 40s, had always been thin even after having 4 kids…. I was always active. But after having a corneal transplant in 2019, it had left me extremely light sensitive, house had to be pitch black, couldn’t even watch tv. Any amount of light felt like I was staring at the sun. I was quarantined in my home before covid even hit. It’s much better this year finally, but because of it I had gained SO much weight… couldn’t work, couldn’t leave the house, sat around for years in the dark. I want more than anything to get in shape, but my whole body is constantly hurting now… every bone and muscle in my body anytime I move. I’m 5’11, weighed 150 my whole life, now I’m 246 😢 We’ve been prepping for a few years, but you’re absolutely right… I just really don’t know how to get back in shape again, even walking now hurts so much, my back and ankles especially… it’s torture. Any advice, to make it as painless as possible?

[@kelleykennedy872]

@@melissa5907 I’m sorry to hear that. The problem with being so overweight and having medical issues like that is it’s hard to tell if you hurt because of the illness or the weight or what the combination is. First, start working on the diet. I like the Zone template. It’s easy and it works as a good starting point. Google CrossFit zone diet, a PDF will pop up. It’s about 4 pages and it lays out the basics and gives a food list and quantities. Second, start moving as much as you’re able. Start with easy walks, and simple movements like chair squats (sitting and standing from a seated position). Add in some basic pressing and pulling with light weights. Also, don’t forget to hinge! It can be as simple as toe touches or shin touches if flexibility is an issue. The most important thing is to stay moving. Use it or loose it.

[@alinaeana]

⁠​⁠@@melissa5907 I'm not an expert by any means, but as far as back pain goes, I would suggest starting with stretching and low impact exercises. Since you said you haven't had much opportunity for movement the last few years, I think getting your muscles loosened up first would probably be a good first step. Through a quick google search I found an article on Iowa Clinic called Stretch and Strengthen Your Way Out of Lower Back Pain that may help. I had back surgery when I was younger and these were the types of stretches and exercises the therapists had me do afterwards. Also, if you have a local pool nearby, exercising in water is a great workout and pretty low impact. Even if you just start by walking a few laps in the shallow end or lying on a raft and paddling with your legs/arms, it doesn't matter how small the steps as long as you start somewhere. Hope this helps!

[@theShamrockShepherdWagon]

Same situation - but there are definitely things we can do. You know your health and home situation best, make sure you take steps for comfort in a prolonged pwr outage and supply chain interruption. Take care of things you can fix health-wise NOW. Stock up on at least 90 days of meds (more is better) Think through you and loved ones comfort scenario and buy accordingly for 3 wks, then 3 months as you can. WATER #1 - access to water source and filtration important. Find a canned meat you can tolerate like beef chunks, tuna, whatever Peanut butter great (protein!) HEAT - are you all electric or dependent on elec starter? can you survive in winter w/o pwr? consider a woodstove. Get a small tent for INSIDE your house to help stay warm. Make sure you know how to secure your home in all the ways you can think of. Very important to have a few things put away like puzzles, crossword puzzles and books you enjoy because most of us are so depended on electronics for entertainment it's a rude awakening with no power! Now is the time to network with neighbors and family if you can to ask them to check on you in a power down situation. Good luck!

exactly, people need to realize that most men who fought WW2 were all skinny boys from farm country, at least before training. Even if they buffed out lots on training, the war reduced them to being dammed near famished compared to what they were prior to training, rationing supplies in winter warfare does that its also why it is easy to gain weight upon returning, especially if they have any injuries no matter what they went through once home if they suddenly have to avoid moving to heal the weight gains just the same. Millions of brave men held the line through some very harrowing stuff at the chance of bringing sanity back to an insane world as they faced the danger directly that threatened the entire world, fascism. If they had not thought to best themselves before hand, if the men who trained them hadn't pushed them to disfunction while eating the best possible they would not of made it. I say this to inspire people. I have had cancer as a kid and starved as an adult, still alive. If I can make it, anyone can make it.

If u decide to go elsewhere, u will be in unfamiliar territory and expect others whom u dont know to go there as well. But above all of that seek wisdom from above.

As a mom and once upon a time forest ranger I intentionally stay somewhat prepared on the daily. I have a small backpack I use as a purse that’s on me at all times. I have an epi pen, a multi-tool, bottle of Tylenol. Small first aid kit, sunscreen, folded poncho, heat wrap, about 10 single serve protein powders. About a dozen electrolyte mixes. A couple protein bars and fruit leathers, a life straw and a fire starter with paracord on my keychain. I also keep extra socks, roll up flat shoes for me and my kiddo and some diapers and wipes. It sounds like a lot but my bag weighs less than 10lbs and I feel like we are pretty well prepared for a few days to get where we need to go. At home we live remote near a river on a few acres. We’ve planted a food forest and have a garden and keep bees and chickens. Always hoping for the best but I do think an EMP attack or another form of mandated lockdown will happen eventually and try to be as prepared as realistically possible for us.

[@HerefortheLove]

Great items! Thanks for listing these. Can you tell me what paracord is used for?

[@sarahwitherell2000]

You can use it for a variety of things depending how much you have. Use it to string up a tarp or a poncho for makeshift shelter, use it to string up your food in a tree away from your campsite if you are in bear prone area, use it if you have to drag some bigger branches you can make a makeshift sledge… there are a lot more if you google or watch more survival videos. It’s just strong thin, nylon rope. Good luck with the prepping!

Hearing one of your packs without water was only 16lbs made me dance a bit in my seat. The GHB I made for my husband tops out at 17.02 lbs (without water), and with the right backpack strapped correctly, it feels like it weighs almost nothing, even for me. Mine is smaller and weighs even less as I've adjusted the contents to work with my build and strength. I envy your hammocks. Where I live, the routes we must take to get home do not support sturdy trees. Both bags hold emergency tents, but I'm looking for woobies, small tarps, and more garbage bags to make ground sleep more comfortable. The prices for everything keep increasing, and even thrift and army surplus stores are getting lighter on the gear I'm looking for as others wake up to the need for these items. That whole activity looked great! I especially liked Jason's advice about ducking into the forest on the side of the road and making a J loop backward.

Hey guys- I have a very dumb question for you. A little background for reference: I carry my walkie talkie with me everywhere I go, with fresh batteries, and a back up set in the same waterproof bag- and my sons father has the other one, we test them regularly, they are 30 mile range. We have both worked in law enforcement and he’s an Army vet, so we know how quickly people can panic. If all of the electricity goes down, will the radios work? I’ve looked this up and I’ve seen a few different answers. I thought maybe you guys would definitely know. Our plan in case SHTF is to basically stay wherever you are supposed to be when we have our son- so if something happened over at his house, I would make my way over there on foot, not making contact with anyone if possible, if something happened over here with having my son with me, then he would make his way to me. Having a walkie-talkie was the only thing that I could think of that could keep the lines of communication open just in case something happens and we’re not able to stay where we had planned on being, or if we are out just by chance. I have a bag in my vehicle just in case I do need to go on foot I can remove that out of my vehicle, and carry it long distance- I have two more in my house and I have also one for my son. He’s only five years old, so I taught him where his bag is kept and how to get everything out in case he needs to. He knows his NESW. We’re not trying to scare him but we do have conversations with him so that he can understand what he needs to be doing if he can see that something like this begins to unfold and for some reason I am not there or his dad is not there, God forbid. We’ve already witnessed in the past three or four years how quickly people can begin making decisions based on emotions rather than logic and reasoning, and how quickly that can happen, and then spread. What else would you guys recommend for communication? Any suggestions on what to pack in a child’s bug out bag, and also, what skill do you guys recommend for children to have? ( If they are not able to get assistance from an adult ) thanks from Michigan 🧤

[@WinstonSmith.74]

It depends on what causes the electrics to go down. An EMP from either a nuke or CME from the sun could knock out everything with any kind of circuit. I believe that un-installed batteries would be fine. Walkie-Talkies would be very vulnerable to any level of EMP as they have an antenna. A very simple solution is a basic Faraday-cage container: Just get a metal cooking pot with a lid (needs to have a tight fit). With the lid off - Put aluminium foil over the top, making sure there are no holes or gaps of any kind, and press the lid on firmly (maybe even add something heavy on top to keep it pressed down). A large pot should hold a few Walkie-Talkies plus mobile phones and other small electronic devices.... although mobiles may be pretty useless anyway since all the satellites will be fried. You can test if it works by placing a mobile phone in the pot and trying to call it. If there are ANY gaps in the foil, the microwaves will get through - they can even bounce around corners so it needs to be completely sealed on all sides to work. Even if the lid is just a bit loose it won't work. It doesn't matter if the devices touch the bottom or sides of the pot as long as they have a plastic shell (all the videos I found here on KZbin say you need to line the container with cardboard to stop items touching the metal, but that's actually not needed). Let me know how it goes and if you have any problems just reply and I'll try to figure out a solution.

Caution at the Creek. Towards the beginning of the video, y’all stopped at a creek for water. It wasn’t fenced off, so maybe that is why you didn’t appear to be cautious. Important to remember, our farm has a creek that crosses a small 2 lane road like you were on, ours is fenced. Anyone crossing that fence is trespassing and those of us living here will be protecting our land and supplies. We plan on putting a 50 gallon barrel on the road and filling it each morning for people walking the road, but with a sign that tells them they are being observed, take what water they need, and move on. Our group has discussed this. We want to help those traveling, but want it made clear that we will protect what is ours. As long as our food is doing well, garden is supplying plenty, etc., we may leave food for those traveling, we are still discussing that. The unfortunate thing is that trying to help others, also lets others know you have resources and unfortunately some will try to take those resources. That is unfortunate because we would like to help others, just like we would like members of our group who may be caught away from home to be helped. I pray that it never comes to this type of scenario.

Unless you live in Alaska, most water from streams, lakes and ponds are contaminated. Tablets only kill the bacteria, not the chemicals. You need a good filtering system. Always have some "filter straws" on you or have a rain/dew, catchment tarp. Also ground is a natural filter. If you dig a hole near a stream, lake or pond close enough to where it fills up slowly with water, it has been filtered by the ground! This is true, especially in Florida, where most of the ground is limestone.

WE HAVE an emergency generator, but it's gasoline powered. It connects to a transfer switch inside our garage, which allows us to power most electrical equipment in our house (except A/C) - including our water well pump and ceiling fans.

HOWEVER, despite these preps and a good supply of food, we realistically figure our "normal" life would end as soon as the gasoline & propane ran out.

No one really knows how effective an EMP attack against a region of the U.S. or against the entire U.S. would be. Those scientists who are experts in physics, electro magnetics and solar storms disagree on whether older vehicles and those vehicles partially sheltered in parking garages or in canyons would eventually start. No one knows for sure if an EMP would prevent the back-up generators at U.S. nuclear power plants from working. Or how quickly electric power could restored to the nation's railroad systems and how quickly the computer parts of diesel train engines could be repaired/replaced. Or how quickly electric power could be restored to military installations or to the major population centers. The U.S. military has large portable generators as well as some communication systems and weapons platforms that are designed to withstand EMP attacks. The nuclear triad is certainly designed to withstand EMP attack. Would parts of the U.S., Mexican and Canadian power grids go down if there is an EMP attack upon the U.S.? Probably. Would the U.S. respond to an EMP attack with EMP, nuclear or conventional weapons attacks upon enemy nations? Could be. Could an EMP attack upon the U.S. kick off WWIII? Quite possibly. After an EMP attack upon the U.S., failure of your local power grid and neighbors looting grocery stores could be the least of your problems. Better have a plan for dealing with radioactive fallout, winter cold, disruption of the clean water supply and a long-term disruption of the food supply if WWIII kicks off post-EMP. Camping in the woods and learning how to light campfire with flint and steel will not be the solutions to those challenges. Better have the plans, tools and materials for building a fallout shelter quickly. Or have access to a deep cave. Better have a lot of long-term food storage too. And a way to make that collected rainwater and pond water safe to drink. And better have a bicycle or pack mule or a horse and cart because you will not want to walk miles to carry home two buckets of dirty water from the nearest steam or pond

[@sarahstephens5966]

I disagree. The US Mil, and others, are now capable of saturation EMPs. Our atmosphere creates a limit on how powerful an EMP can be, and the US Mil has finally reached that limit.

My experience. You can’t survive for more than a week out of a 72 hour bag and that’s why I don’t fly. I drive and no I don’t care if flying is easier. A 200 mile trip is a ten day walk home if that person is in reasonably good shape. If you have to take time to hunt, trap, search for water, etc. it’s gonna take longer. My longest walk home for work is 200 miles and that’s why my GHB weighs 50-60 pounds wet (includes food & water) depending on how much water I’m carrying. If I’m staying local, less than 100 miles, I have a smaller bag. I would say that if you think you can support yourself on a thirty pound bag wet, or less, for more than three days while walking 15-20 miles a day, then I suggest you try it.

If you know you have to travel more than 100 miles and you only have 2,000 calories in your bag and no outside help, you’re not going to make it.

@@fanman8102, whoa, I was talking about thru-hiking, not luxury strolls down the trail. "Resupply every three to five days?" Restaurants? Hotels? Wow, um, no. We call that PPP (piss poor planning.) A thru-hiker on the AT should be able to resupply no more than every two weeks (unless there is gear failure,) and overnight in a town only when the hike to town and back to the trail is too far. For the PCT and MCT, resupply can be longer. Towns are dangerous and expensive; they are not places to linger, unless they are a specific hikers' towns, like Harpers Ferry. Remember, a thru-hiker is moving with the weather and a deadline. This forces high-mileage days, for the most part, which requires calories to match (although not nearly as much as people think.) I've completed your last sentence successfully umpteen times in my life; I've done it with just a baggie of GORP. As long as someone can collect/find water, they'll be fine. If they need to rush to get from point A to point B, and they can't carry the calories they think they need, but they can collect/carry water along the way, they might be skinnier when they arrive, but they won't die, and they certainly won't lose significant weight in only 100 miles.

Great video!!! I always enjoy seeing different perspectives of the same experience. You ready another challenge in a month? Don’t forget your wool undies.

If there was an EMP and the airplane was on approach to Atlanta with everything below dark...wouldn't the plane drop like a rock as well?

They were in an Uber when the lights went out

Another great training in case SHTF, you need to aclimate your body to the weather. If it is really hot (or cold) where you live, don't just jump from home AC, to car AC to office AC without ever experiencing the heat.

[@stevesworldisnumber1]

I usually carry almost all these things whenever I even go across town. Except I don't travel on planes, and thus I do carry 1 full size Bowie and also my smaller baby Bowie which I use as a hidden leg weapon utilizing a 2# elastic strap. This is a good listing that Everyone should see and learn from. I will also say, stay away from Freeways as they will become Death traps. So travel near a highway, but Not On the highway! Good show!

[@squidly1117]

That's quite a kit you have for just travelling by plane and being surprised by an EMP

[@MikeSimmons923]

Outstanding video! Really raised the bar on this one! ✌🏼

[@Battlbox]

Appreciate it!

[@John-eh6jg]

Great watch gents love the video ...I am stuck on long island NY . Will be near impossible to get off the island when everyone starts to freak out . I will have to bug out to my parents house to help them fortify the house because they are not young anymore and miles of walking is off the table . lets hope we never have to use these tactics haha plus since i was 6months old i was blessed with juvenile diabetes so we are all double screwed . Ill keep them safe as long as the good lord allows it . Hopefully i can find a stockpile of insulin early on

[@g.i.4144]

Wishing you the very best honestly. May God keep you and yours safe and place that insulin supply in your path!! We’re in really uncertain times…

[@John-eh6jg]

@griddownpowerup awesome ! Thanks buddy .You had me at Dennis quad . I love that guy living near the city during 9/11 and witnessing those horrors first hand as a highschooler . Dennis quad was always good in my book for being a big face of the tunnels to towers foundation helping raise money for first responders /military

[@John-eh6jg]

@g.i.4144 lol you and me both buddy . Same to you .I hope you and your family stay safe .. This is the first presidential election that I am actually scared of what will happen in the aftermath because both sides and their hard-core followers will be pissed one way or the other . And our media doesn't help , but throw gas on the fire to get people divided

[@undeniable2839]

I'm going to save this so when an EMP goes off, I can watch it and see what to do.

[@Bend202-f3p]

Some people claim that there's no such thing as an emp. If the elites want you to believe something, I would say it could very well be a lie. They have the capability to shut things off manually. Something is going to happen. That's a fact. But when is the question. 🤔 I research into just about everything. So I know a bunch.

[@invaderjoshua6280]

The military has done EMP tests and found that most of vehicles and non direct powerline connected electronics like wireless cellphones could restart after being shutdown by an emp burst with no sign of issues. Its more likely an emp would be used to temporarily turn off our countries electronic based missile sensors for just a minute or two to give the attacking power time to start their attack without immediate retaliation. I highly doubt emp's will ever be used as a direct main attack method on their own. If an EMP is ever used the last thing you want is to go towards your home city to regroup first. Instead you want to have plans in place with multiple optional routes that all lead to a safe meeting area for all family members outside of possible attack zones, and make sure the routes do not go downwind from the cities or military or power infrastructure potential targets. These routes and destinations should be drilled into everyone you plan on meeting with ahead of time. If by some weird miracle it was an emp attack alone power will likely be back to normal after a few months in very urban areas as those will be focused on first, but non connected electronics including solar generators and EV's and phones should be fine to immediately turn back on. You will likely want to have phones with satellite backup calling and texting if you plan to use it after an EMP as the directly connected towers will be down for a long time.

[@sarahstephens5966]

That was way before EMPs got as powerful as they are now.

[@taktlosnixda2478]

Yes, don´t panic and don´t forget your towel....

[@prnhoney]

This is really good advise. I’ll be flying back to the continent to a major airport 5 days after the election. I’ll be 399 miles from home. After watching this video, I am going to fill a pack with items I’ll need in case I actually have to hike back home, and will leave it in my car, because if we are in a SHTF situation & I can’t drive home, I’ll at least have what I’ll need for winter survival and a month-long hike home. Thanks for this info. Better to be prepared and not need it than to be left off-guard and unprepared.

[@gracejennis3528]

I do NOT fit the typical demographic profile for a "prepper" (I'm a city-dwelling, nerdy, fashion-loving graphic design lady). BUT my father is an Eagle Scout and was a Desert Storm Naval Officer, and my maternal grandfather was definitely a "MacGyver" of sorts who taught me how to use tools and appreciate nature... so I've definitely instilled their shared value of self-sufficiency. I'm trying to build up at least a foundational knowledge and supply of survival gear/skills. I absolutely love this video, because my husband and I DO travel frequently for both business and leisure... and my grandma's house - where I know we should all go in a SHTF situation - is right within that 24-hour walking range from major airports in our area.

[@ThatguyDiscGolf82]

Good real world scenario there for current times

[@bringer-of-change]

I have a feeling most people arent going to have this stuff on them when shtf. The first objective for most people will probably be to aquire what they think they will need for this situation. I imagine most people will try to stay inside, but after awhile the evil within people will start to come out and things will begin to become dangerous no matter where you are to varying degrees.

[@sherettasharif1358]

I have told my children time and time again to move where there's more woods and start to learn how to be out of their comfort zones... I know what's happening AND I'm preparing for... WHATEVER... thank you for this video 💯
