Are PREPPERS Crazy?

Who are Preppers anyway?


Survivalism is a movement of individuals or groups (called survivalists or preppers) 
who actively prepare for emergencies, including possible disruptions in social or political order, 
on scales from local to international. 
CRAZY, RIGHT?

  Take the CARRINGTON EVENT of 1859
That solar storm has been dubbed the Carrington Event, 
after British astronomer Richard Carrington, who witnessed the megaflare and 
was the first to realize the link between activity on the sun and geomagnetic disturbances on Earth.
 During the Carrington Event, northern lights were reported as far south as Cuba and Honolulu.
The flares were so powerful that 
people in the northeastern U.S. could read newspaper print just from the light of the aurora.
 Satellite communications—also essential to many daily activities—would be at risk from solar storms.


Every time you purchase a gallon of gas with your credit card, that's a satellite transaction.  
No bank would be able to ascertain your saved money with the EMP from the sun wiping clean their data.
OVERNIGHT YOU WOULD BECOME PENNILESS
The big fear is what might happen to the electrical grid, 
since power surges caused by solar particles could blow out giant transformers. 
Such transformers can take a long time to replace, especially if thousands are destroyed at once.

THE RULE OF THREE
You can live THREE DAYS  without water
You can live THREE WEEKS  without food
THREE DAYS is how long  goods will stay on store shelves with no chance of being restocked. 

In THREE DAYS
addicts will
be out of their drugs
with NO
means to get more.
How much water do you have on hand?
How much food?
Do you have flashlights?  Batteries?
