Without Electricity... Can You Live Like It's 1880!?
THE MOST SERIOUS THREAT WE FACE IS...
The Power Grid being hacked/disabled if at war.
“If the grid went down for a long enough time…
90 percent of the U.S. population would die from starvation, lack of water, and social disruption. We are talking about total devastation.”
-- Ambassador Henry Cooper, Former Director of U.S. Strategic Defense
During World War 2, the U.S. Government ran large media campaigns encouraging everyone to grow a backyard vegetable garden and have chickens for eggs and meat. This is actually much easier than you may think. Some may feel intimidated until they just actually do.
A significant number of Preppers are already doing this - either on a basis to jus learn and experiment, to just learn the skills to have if needed, and others to supplement their grocery costs. In a time of war, this will be the standard, the "New Normal" - and so many are already reaping the benefits now.
Don't be discouraged.
Our Great Grandparents Did It, Survived, and Thrived - We Can Too.
Remember, we are Americans...
