frozen

[poltiregist]

This is for those that prepare . Winter is approaching , the presidential election is approaching , wars are escalating , so for those that face such things , know there is a reasonable possibility the electrical grid will be targeted and destroyed for the approaching cold months and possibly the " approaching years " will be gridles . So what have you done to prevent your family and self from freezing over the coming months ?

There's so much can happen, take out the electricity, poison the water supply, dirty bombs, nuking Nellis AFB and such. I'd rather just go as I'm ready for that and be one of the lucky one's.

Much of todays homes are total electric . Sure for a few days many could cook over their charcoal grill . If they have charcoal . Their refrigerators would stop running , their deep freezes stop running , lights stop running , their television stop running , their cell phones for many would not be recharged , their hot water heater stop running , fuel pumps at the gas station stop running , grocery as well as all other stores shut down due to they all depend on electric for freezers and cash registers , for many water stop running and as the thread title suggests many would freeze to death .The electric grid would be an easy and very vulnerable target that could be attacked in multiple ways . According to a government study , if the electric grid was lost 90% of the United States population would die within a 12 month period .

An abundant supply of firewood and a good wood stove is a tried and true solution to freezing to death.

We heat with wood, completely on solar, two years worth of propane for water heater cooking, well pump and clothes dryer. Two years of diesel for the tractor and backup generator and two years of premium non ethanol gas for the small equipment; snow blowers, log splitter, ATV's, chainsaw etc.
