EMP Prep, What would you do if you had 45 minutes to prepare?

I learned years ago how semi conductor junctions are created using doping. How does EMP turn these junctions on? Is the EMP just a radio wave? What frequency? Is it like subjecting these junctions to microwaves? Do they recover?

Nice walk in cooler and contents.

Read this... its fun.

Can you drink swimming pool water after boiling? I think so ;

Outdoors swimming pool would be an excellent reservoir to collect radioactive fallout.

Although many have been calling for an effort to begin protecting the national grid for a long time...it was the near miss of 2012 that brought the issue to light to some legislators but it still gets little mention...

Hey, who knows when the super volcano in yellowstone is going to erupt?

Even today, with nothing "wrong" in the grand scheme of things in our screwed up society, we are all just a couple steps away from death. No one is promised tomorrow

Yep... Time to crawl under your desk, place your head between your knees and clasp your hands together on the back of your neck.

The American public... look at all those mouths to feed.

A huge percentage couldn't walk a mile without heart failure. I don't think there's ever been a generation of humanity so completely helpless and dependent on technology to eat their next meal. I think before any of these 'zombie-hunter' scenarios could even materialize, if something happened on a mass scale, starvation would be staggering. Men, women and children. Sad to imagine. I'm able bodied, have firearms, some emergency rations... but I think my best tactic would be to just pray.

Best post yet!!!!

No one is your friend when hungry.

OH, yeah. that was a lot of fun... Voltage gradients of up to 50,000 volts per meter you say? That ought to kill a few semiconductors.

I'd do like an older friend taught me during the 1950s era USSR nuclear scare:

1. Stand up
2. Spread legs
3. Bend over and kiss your *** goodbye

Agree with ovrszd, great post. Along with being tech dependent, I'd add overreliance on our government.

Amen Brother. As you know, everything is the Government's responsibility.

People complain about our lack of power and the illusion of a democracy. My Dad has been waiting decades for a financial meltdown. I waited for a nuclear meltdown in the cold war days of the 80s.

My best guess, is that the people in control, like the Rothchilds, would not be well served by any kind of meltdown, any more then you or I. And we should probably sleep easier knowing that.
