People thought I was nuts in 2021 when the lockdowns continued and I bought enough tools to survive such an event. I figured, people aren’t working, things gonna break. Lol
For reference, some basics would go a long way — survival straw to filter water, 3 month emergency food storage, fire starting kit, water collection, etc. for those in the country it’s really not much. A solar generator with a big battery could probably work for those in the country (with a well). For those in the suburbs you’ll need enough to hunker down for a few weeks (and guns). For the city, you need an escape plan and a place to go.
A true grid collapse would be insane. Most people don’t know how to do any of the basics all our families did only a generation or two ago.
How many people can? How many know how to preserve meat for long periods without a freezer? How many know how to grow food and store it?
I’ve spent the past couple years learning some of these skills and preparing the tools.
To be clear grid collapse is inevitable on a long enough time horizon. Being prepared with food, water and shelter is a bare minimum.
