The First 3 days after SHTF: Best E.M.P. Survival Guide, Part II

The first few days are now over. The panic has died down and cities are starting to organize. Martial law may or may not have been declared, but your city is now your domain. Hopefully all of your family members were at home or near home when the electromagnetic pulse strike hit, or you may never see them again. You are starting to eat the rations that you have. Now what? sit and wait? Not by any means. You need to be constantly preparing for the future. Constantly hunting and fishing. Constantly working on something.

If it is summer, it’s time to start preparing for the winter. Start cutting firewood to keep warm and cook with. Hunt to conserve rations. Try to grow your own crops year round. Hopefully you know what grows in your area, or have a guide that tells you what does and how to grow it. Turn your entire yard into a garden filled with fruits and vegetables. trees are too slow to grow unless you already have them grown. If water is scarce, you might have to dig your own well. Remember that those who work hard need more rations than those who don’t. You must remain an effective worker, so you must eat well. Remember to keep entertained somehow. Play board games with others or read books. Entertainment has a major psychological impact in a survival situation that can greatly help you. Do not expend any physical energy unless it is to help prepare (meaning no more working out, along with other things).

When hunting, look for squirrels, rabbits, possums, and raccoons (raccoons are the smartest and hardest to kill) with a .22 rifle. If you can get a deer or any kind of large game such as a bear, you and your family won’t be able to eat all of it without refrigeration, but don’t let any of it go to waste. Share it with your community, with those working hard and to feed their families and help the community. If there are any livestock in your community, breed them, don’t eat them. At least, don’t eat them yet. Grow the number of livestock before eating them.

If your city is smart, it will start a communal supply of food and water and issue out ration cards. Homes should be searched before receiving a ration card, and if any food is found, it will be added to the communal supply. Ration cards should only be taken if you are really in need of food and are dangerously low. Many cities will not issue ration cards, though. In such a case, self sufficiency is key. You MUST hunt, fish, farm, and forage for food. Food is at all of our fingertips, we just have to have the knowledge and skill to get it. Save your stockpiled rations for emergencies, only using them when you are not able to produce your own food.

It’s starting to kick in that you may never receive the commodities we once had ever again. No more central A/C and heat. No more deodorant or smelling good. No more sweets and candies. No more video games, movies, or TV. It’s starting to click inside your head that America is gone, replaced with a shell of  its former self attempting to scratch out a living, to survive. Help may be on its way, but how long until it gets here? It could be months or years even for help to arrive to some parts of America. coastal cities and ports will be the first to receive help from foreign countries and the navy and coast guard that were away at sea and not affected by the electromagnetic pulse wave.

Attempts to rebuild will be slow, and the United States may never be the same as it once was. The chances are, if an E.M.P. hit, it was from an enemy country, a country at war with us. We will be scarred forever from this event. Hopefully the military can keep out invasions from whoever attacked the U.S. with an E.M.P., and if they don’t, we may have a full scale invasion on our hands as well. Without a doubt other countries will come to our aid in battle to help us. We will be victorious one way or the other, somehow.

America has gone silent. You must learn to survive the silence, to accept it. It is the silence and lack of communication that will drive people crazy, not knowing what is going on, who America is fighting, or who is winning. You must think like pioneers, act like pioneers, and work as hard as pioneers of the old American west did. You will certainly smell like them.

  • ok, I'm sitting in my room at a monthly motel reading this crap. If an EMP strikes, this town in Arizona with summer temps over 120 degrees will fizzle within 2 hours, not 3 days. People will die by the thousands within 12 to 18 hours max. That doesn't include all those who've lost access to their legal and illegal drugs, and who - apart from depending upon the local Circle K store's hot dogs & soda combo, won't have a clue where to forage. What does a 300-lb Useless Eater on Disability and/or drugs do then? And if you factor in the loss of McShite's plastic-and-fertilizer-ingredient-burgers as well, well you're talking Armageddon.

  • Habib, you sum it up well. Our ONLY real hope is in Jesus Christ and the Rapture. Otherwise it will be hell-on-earth. Kenyan-born gay Moslem Obama is the Antichrist and I'm sorry to say pink-slime is people.

  • Just caught these articles on before-it's-news.
    Hope that you've done some reevaluations on many of the actions recommended, since it was offered in June of last year. Sorry to say that there's not much of use in it.
    Don't count on rushing to stores with cash, after the electric fails. Without electronic point of sale systems, virtually all will just ask customers to leave, and lock the doors. Most goods no longer have price tags. It's all bar code driven. The cashers would have no idea what to charge, even if the manager was willing to take cash.
    Without electric pumps, gas stations can't get the gas out of the ground. They will also close down instantly.
    No,.... The very first thing to do, if you use "city water", is to gather everything in your home that can hold water, and fill them before the water pressure drops to nothing. Fill all sinks, and tubs. Put lawn bags into your trash cans. and fill them as well. Once the water pressure had dropped, turn off the water coming into your home (winter), and open all taps, to insure no leaks from frozen pipes.
    If it's winter, and you live in a cold climate, prepare to transfer food from your refrigerator, and freezer to coolers outside. Cover all windows, and doors with plastic sheets, or with blankets and comfitures. Close off unneeded rooms. Stuff towels in under their doors.
    Use any surviving radios to try and determine how wide spread the event is.
    Get your summer outdoor cooking equipment, like camp stoves, bottled gas grills ready. You will need to cook, and consume as much refrigerator/freezer food as possible over the next few days, before it spoils.
    If you decide that bugging out will be necessary, don't wait. Most folks won't realize, or react to what's happened for a few hours. Get out before they do. Later there will be roadblocks, and curfews.
