Be Prepared For A Year Without Electricity

I don’t claim to be a survivalist expert, but I have lived in the woods my entire life. I also am an ex-Vietnam Green Beret. I know people living off the grid who think that, in itself, would ensure their survival in case of a national loss of electricity. Living poorly won’t help you if/when a crisis occurs if you are depending on fuel for your truck or ATV to fetch water or food, because there will not be any fuel station open or groceries to be bought. A two- or three-week stint without electricity is only a burp. People need to think of at least a year.
