It’s be easy to overrun a country by taking down their power grid.
LOL I totally agree with you, and I have to say if you want to know EXACTLY what it might be like, read the UNABRIDGED version of the Stand (Stephen King.) OMG it is one of his best books but his editors were like "NO. Too long!" and they cut all the best PARTS. Like, people who died horribly in horrific ways just because they were not good survivalists, or like, they just did something like accidentally lock themselves somewhere. I think some kid fell down a well, that was a GOOD read, (no Lassie, not in Stephen King books.) But, it's AWESOME.
I am not a good survivalist. I don't know how long it was out, like maybe 6--8 hours? At least, I fell asleep with it off, and I like, woke up and it was on and nothing went bad.
Course, I called the husband before it was dark and he gave me terse instructions on finding flashlights, how to charge my cell if necessary (the car--duh.) I was like, "I'm sure all this won't be necessary." He was like, "Honey I love you like a, well, husband and I also need to remind you that you have night blindness and it would be very bad if you took your meds all wrong. And I was like, "Hmmm." It wasn't so bad. I had a strangely unsatisfying dinner of like, junk food and went to bed. But, it was okay. However, if we buy land, we are also buying a GENERATOR. 15 minutes out of "already very rural" is pretty damn rural. We will have to equip, even though we will be on the grid.
Speaking of HORRIFIC it's almost clean in here. MAN can I get a lot done cleaning wise in just a few hours. I know all the "housekeeping tips and tricks" because I was one when the kid was little and I had to be efficient because he was with me. So, yes, I can turn AWFUL into "how lovely." I just gotta mop the floors..... But I needed a sanity break. I even polished our furniture with that wax stuff for my stabwood mod, it works great.
So, I'm not a good survivalist, but I am surrounded by them. Heck, my kid can drive here in 13 hours so like..... He's a great survivalist and the husband has literally been homeless in Appalachia and ran around like, catching his own food.
Seriously if the USA goes down, my biggest problem will be how to I handle the psychosis when I run out of meds. LOL although that might be the best time to BE psychotic, because I also get a little psychic (no lie) it's just picking up on very, very subtle things and etc., also seeing a person's entire ancestral line. Bit tiring to be honest.
Speaking of tiring no more typing I stopped to VAPE.
Heh,.
