More than saving your body it would be wise to save your soul and pray that you are really understanding what is happening.

Use a 5 gallon bucket, a toilet seat and plastic bags set inside of the 5 gallon bucket, put kitty litter or pine litter or even corn cob bits into that toilet and use it as your toilet adding a little litter after each use, can put tied bag into trash can or compost it somehow.

You can buy toilet plugs in a hardware store. Buy one for each toilet in your home IF on an intercomnected (city) system

Join us in Mexico. I'm trying to form a group to live free and support each other. Life is free and old fashioned here. When the northern neighbor collapses totally, most here won't be affected in extreme ways.

From what I understand most modern cars will not work after an EMP, so getting home may be a real problem.

Thank you, I appreciate it 💯

Has anyone heard of the federal programs with being listed as C.E.R.T progams?

We ran a restraunt 50 years without a register,,,, 2 relatives ran a store each for 70 years without a register,,,,the world will not stop for those that have a brain and can think!!

No worries for me. I know where I’m going when I die and how I get there is not really an issue. God knows what’s going to happen and I place my trust in him. God has given me common sense and I have prepared as much as I can. John 3:16

The MOST important thing is to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. We have zero guarantee when we will die. Please be prepared.

For chest freezers, placing 2 or 3 folded blankets on top of the freezer, covering the entire surface within a couple hours of the power going out can increase the time before things start to melt. We managed to keep the contents of our very full freezer frozen for 4.5 days without power during a September snowstorm in 2014. While it may not help with a major EMP, it can certainly help with shorter emergencies.

I used to work as a contractor on an Air Force base. Some of my crew had to climb a water tower on the base to change out an antenna. There were rust holes in the tank and a dead pigeon floating in there. Don't trust your tap water.

Biggest problem: EVERYONE who didn't prepare. And thats almost everyone!😵‍💫

Give your life to the only one to help us. Believe in him

I had a certified plumber come out to our house yesterday to install a back flow valve in our sewage clean out pipe so that no sewage would enter our house if the situation got that bad. Since we live on a hill, he was honest and said that although he'd love to charge me $1,800.00 to install it, we really didn't need one. He said the houses at the bottom of the hill need one. He looked at our street and said the sewage will force the lid off the manhole cover and will flow downhill towards the houses down there. There really wasn't any way it would ever flow back into our house. I also asked him about the inflatable ball that can be inserted in the sewage clean out pipe and he said by the time you realize you need it, it will be too late and sewage will already be in your house. I absolutely loved this video and got so much useful information from it. THANK YOU!!!

What we are facing is no joke! If you love your family get prepared! God bless

Read the book "One Second After." It opens your mind up to a myriad of different "prepping" skill sets that you need to add to your prepping lifestyle. Vehicles made after 1980'ish will not operate. A major EMP event will take us back to the 1850's in a flash.

With regards to getting home and/or evacuating - I have ordanance survey maps and a compass in my car. If the sat nav fails, I have a backup navigation method. I have also gone for drives to areas I have never been to, and then worked back home using the maps to practice. This is worth doing; as before I got the maps - I have gotten into situations where the roads I know have been unexpectedly closed and I have found myself diverted down back roads in the countryside with no GPS or phone signal at dusk with not much petrol in the tank. Horrible feeling being lost - do yourself a favour and don't let it happen to you.

I have a basic three step approach to determining if we have been hit with an EMP. 1. The lights go out unexpectedly: 2. Check your phone, If it's not working; 3. Check if your vehicles start. If they do not, there's a very good chance there was an EMP given all of these electrical/electronic devices have suddenly and simultaneously stopped working.

Good stuff. We talked about not using any spices when we’re cooking, but add them at the end to our food after being plated because when cooking inside with spices, you can smell it outside for a long way.

The USAF taught us to keep electronics protected for a week or so because there will be several EMP’s to make sure they worked.

If your children are at school, their first plan , in an emergency is to put the children on school busses and take them to a central location for parents to pick them up. With no bus transport available, I suspect that they will hold the children at the school until someone picks them up. A friend of mine has told his daughter to "escape" and make her way to a pre chosen safe waypoint.

Makes a person think that the amish people will thrive in such a scenario…don’t they know how to survive off grid???

I feel like being on a septic and well water puts us at an advantage … even having a manual pump on the well

May I suggest you produce a video for apartment dwellers since more and more folks are living in these buildings.

We just bought a couple of fire blankets which could come in handy. Thanks for the video, and best wishes to you, JR!!

Protein powders and super-greens powder can sustain you when cooking isn’t possible. Super-greens is a great supplement for a brand and rice diet.

Water and personal hygiene items. Especially deodorant, body wash, shampoo and of course toilet paper!

It seems to me that the best thing to do post EMP is to organize local neighborhoods and help each other survive. Living in a post electronic world will seem tough, but doable if we stay calm and work together, pooling our resources and abilities. Neighborhood associations will have a whole new meaning.

Evening JR. Agree, planning, alternate plans and still another plan is crucial to surviving a situation, but practice and going over, dry runs, will show you any negatives or shortages in your plans. ✔️

SO glad I planned ahead 20 years ago, and bought a house with a septic system!

Very good video. One more tip: I have written everything down that I need to think of when SHTF. And that is a lot! I wrote it down, not for myself, but for my future housemates (children, grandchildren). When I take them in, they have to be thorougly instructed and trained. Without documentation, you do not know where to start and you forget things. Moreover, it is too much to take in at once.

Have had advice to keep a GO bag in your car -water, head lamp, granola bars, reflective blanket, lighter/matches, jacket and hat, extra pair of socks, etc... be aware of where you are and know how to get home.... Our first 6 years in our home we had no water or power, so we have been there - a creek flows along one side of our land and I have bought an easy, cheap water system and filters - look for a guy who goes by 'goneagain' on RU-vid and he will show you that. You may also need something to save rain water in. If you have meat in the freezer, start smoking it! And if you can before any of this - gather together a community - find different strengths within that community and help each other!

Don’t forget to have a pipe wrench to shut off your gas meter!!

Greetings from Tennessee. I hope you and your family made it through the fires okay. I'm still think you need to do a show on the difference between a bug out bag and a get home bag, which in my opinion are two very different things.

An EMP is the one thing my dad and now I fear the most. “Confusion, fear, and desperation…” cause otherwise “sane” people to become savages…

Another great video with important information. Thank JR. I do have an EMP question. With all of the arcing associated with EMPs, is there a good chance that we could see a lot of house fires?

Train your mind to see something good in everything...

If you are stuck in a city or suburb, depending on the situation that caused the EMP, follow the 12/24 rule. Take 12 hours to gather up necessary resources and be gone from that area by the 24 hour mark. The first 12 hours will be your best chance to get around and stock up on supplies as most people will be scratching thier heads trying to "figure out" what's happened. Around hour 12 is when some will start to get wise and start to the situation, but will remain hopeful that the power is still going to be restored. Things will start to degrade and by the 24 hour mark people will go into full panic mode. The second the grid goes down, law and order will be a thing of the past, but it will take a little while for the average Joe to figure that out.. it's best to be as far away from a populated area as you can before they do.

for small game and birds dont underestimate the 22 air gun. make sure its not co2 powered. 1000s of .22 pellets can be had relatively cheap and they are pretty silent. .22 pellets can take down squirls,birds and other animals under about 5 pounds.

Also consider a composting toilet like Natures Head. Far more hygienic long term than shitting in a bucket or hole.

Living up North in the country side we’ve been ready for this stuff for a very long time, heck, life might even become easier for us without the government trying to poke their head in everyone’s farming business

😊😊😊best prepper on RU-vid!!! Thanks for the video!!!!

The sewage system backing up has me worried a bit!

I bought a camping toilet the height of a normal toilet as I am a senior and could never squat and will use kitty litter.

I have two old generators that will not be affected by an EMP and enough fuel for a few weeks for two or three hours of running a day. We live outside of a small town with a well in the garden, and enough food for three or four months.

thanks for always putting together great videos

Dang! Gotta unseal my Faraday can and add solar motion sensor lights and alarms. I had the packs of solar lights in there but never thought of motion sensor ones. Thank you! It pays to watch yet another prepper video as you never know when you might have missed something.

EMP from solar flares can wreak havoc too.

Suggestions on how to block the sewage drain line would be so helpful.

My understanding, if theres an EMP attack in the center of the country, 95% of everything with electrical components won't work. This obviously also includes, vehicles, stores, banks, supermarkets, gas stations, no water, etc. Everyone will have to walk or bike.

Jr please talk about those who live in apts how they can help themselves ok✝️🙏🏾

Good vid JR. I have the same garbage can faraday can rig holding the same Delta Max + battery. 👍

I live not that far from a Necular Place in North Dakota. I’m only 50 miles from North Dakota. I got a very big Dog for my Protection & I’m Disabled.

I grew up poor and I think I can survive and am prepping as much as I can but finances force me to pick and choose. Thankfully I live in an area with a lot of natural resources available and we were farmers. I can plow a field grow a garden etc. And I’ve purchased seeds. I’ve been discussing things with my neighbors I trust about working together.

😮My sister canned the meat in her freezer on the barbeque when they lost power.

when the left finishes forcing everyone to go electric that will be a sad world to be in if an emp goes off.

Things I have wondered about: 1. Does your car stop working in an emp? 2. Will faraday walls in your garage help? 3. What happens to the solar electric set up on your house/roof after an emp?

Great video. I'm always picking up useful info here. Thank you and stay safe bro.🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲

Great video and for an EMP, I agree. I think cyber attack on the grid is more likely because it can be held hostage or, in the worse case, it can be restored easily after a successful invasion. I think THIS and solar stuff (see David voght and solar observers) is the most imminent threat….

I have a 2002 car for backup. No computer Roll the windows down by hand . Locks with a key.

For a thermos, boil 10 min, pour into thermos. Wrap in towels or blankets. May set in bathtub for the day. Dinner cooks while you are busy. Scent is sealed in during cooking. Open and consume.

#1 Did you or anyone around you see a bright white flash in the sky? This indicates a high probability of a nuclear explosion which will have an EMP effect. You can gauge distance and necessary action somewhat by instant effects. The range at which you will get temporary blindness is a little bigger than the range where you will get 1st degree burns. This will all be instant. For 1 megaton airburst in the day that is about 13 miles & 10 miles respectively. If you got 1st degree burns you are in an area which will break windows from the blast wave when it comes. If you get blister burns you are AT LEAST close enough that the blast wave will destroy residential structures and perhaps other buildings. The thermal radiation gets there almost instantly but does not end instantly. It may persist up to around 20 seconds. At that 10 mile range, the air blast will arrive about 49 seconds after the flash, which may only give you 15 to 20 seconds after the burn. Not much time from the disorientation of the flash and the significant pain. If you are closer the pain will be greater and the time will be less. If you can keep your wits about you, you can do a rapid determination on the burn extent, and your surroundings. From that, determine if you can get to a place safer from the blast wave in the 7 to 30 seconds you may have before it arrives. Breaking glass, flying debris, and structural strength are all important. The wave is directional, so if necessary you can just ensure something very strong is between you and the blast. #2 Have multiple disconnected (battery operated) electronic devices stopped working? Whether devices stop working or not depends on the amount of metal or shielding around them and the strength of the EMP. A very distant blast may leave most things working. A strong close blast may kill everything. Cars usually have metal around components and may survive weaker/distant EMP. Cell phones are small and poor receivers and may or may not die depending on EMP strength. If no flashes have been seen, and there are no civil warnings, it MAY be a naturally occurring EMP with no nuclear effect to follow. Stay sharp looking for signs. It is probably best to take cover for next few minutes just in case. #3 If there was a blast wave, note the direction that things fell, and look for shelter in the opposite direction, i.e. further from the blast. You want to find shelter in 5 minutes or less. Shelter in something underground and/or with dense thick walls. Shower without soap to wash off any radioactive particles. Be sure to wipe around the eyes, ears and any places particles may tend to accumulate. Remove contaminated clothing to a plastic bag and place it away from you. Radiation levels drop drastically in the 48 hours. Stay sheltered during this time, and preferably much longer. After 72 hours and in the first two weeks make only short forays out of shelter if necessary.

JR, you do a good job on what measures work best. Please consider handicapped. Thanks

Thanks JR for some more handy hints & advice hope you have a great day and stay safe & alert in these trying times mate 😊😉

I have jugs I filled with water and have kept in my basement. It’s not to drink, it’s so we can use to flush our toilet or to clean dishes. As far as drinking water, I bought water and I have the drinking straws.

👍😜 Excellent vid today Brother 💒⚔️ God Bless us All 🇺🇸🙏✝️

Able body people, please take care of the disabled.

These are good suggestions for physical things. But I hear nothing about spiritual things. We are approaching the final days. May we all repent and ask for forgiveness for all are wrong doing. Be ready for Jesus's coming with His holy coming. Do you see it?

you never die . from all accounts life on the other side is glorious and noone misses this life . who could blame them.

Good advice, stuff and directions as usual. Thanks

Okra---- a favorite vegetable difficult to find (even frozen) in my area. It was heartwarming to see it there in amongst the chilis. With a spread like that, what could be better after SHTF than a steaming bowl of gumbo? You can forage for the file. And maybe some crawfish and fresh water mussels. Venison sausage? You're good to go!

We rebuke! God is powerful than all the weakedness!

Get yourself as physically fit as possible and get off of any medications you might be on or you'll be screwed from the getgo.

Question: Could an EMP also destroy unplugged solar panels stored in the house? Thanks for your opinions.

I have started storing water for my garden

It should be said (I missed it if it was) no one really knows what an EMP will do to everything, of course the grid or parts of it will likely go down, but there is no telling what it will do to modern cell phones, cars, generators and other medium to small electronics like fridges. For all we know they will be completely unharmed, or everything with the simplest circuit board could be fried, we just don't know for sure. But these are some good steps regardless.

Put proper thermometers into fridges and freezers up front where if needed you can quickly tell the temps of them also keeping a fridge or freezer full helps it stay cold much longer than this that have allot of empty room in them, freeze or store water bottles with expansion room helps keep the appliances cold as well as using less energy to keep them at a proper temp even during normal times.

The best thing to do when an EMP happens is to not be in the area where it happens.... In fact, it's best to leave the North American continent entirely.

The book One Second After is a good book to read.

I hope everyone is keeping an eye out for magnetic reversal. Cause the earths magnetic field is in turmoil. It's weakening beware

The highways will get clogged in five minutes

Is it wrong that I would suspect my own government first?

I had no idea the sewage lines would start flowing backwards. Thx for the info.

Currently our star would be a likely source for an emp type event. 2nd would be an attack. Keep abreast of situation in Middle East and Ukraine. Things can go hot in an instant.

Excellent information. Stock up on Bibles, Hard Candy and Stay Prayed Up. People will be looking for answers, hope and leadership- Jesus Christ offers it all. ❤

How would you block the main drain line that takes waste away from your home?

EMP from the sun is one thing. Living a couple miles from a (nuke base) primary target is another. If it's a nuke related EMP the only thing to be concerned with is my salvation. Sun related is more like "Would you like fried electronics with that?"

Aluminum foil on your windows will block out light. Mylar blankets are durable and useful.

Wouldn’t an EMP affect your vehicle? So you couldn’t bug out via car.

Biggest immediate question is how would you know if you were experiencing a regular power outage or an EMP farther away than what would immediately effect your personal items but does shut down the country? If all coms go down you wouldn't know if it's a service problem or ww3

I live 3 miles from a Russian target area for Naval comms. Fun!

With the weakening magnetic field, a solar emp is definitely going to happen,…. Expect to be essentially back in the pre-industrial days, no electronics will work, no cars, no lights, no refrigerators, nothing

Get a reverse osmosis water filter now, it filters out everything including fluoride (the worst chemical), then fill up all bottles that you use, like soda, juice, and other used bottles. Store hundreds of these bottles.

Can you talk to us about Ham radios?

Keep batteries in an airtight metal tin (tight fitting lid). I have ours sorted by size, each in a different tin.

I’m trying to move but I can’t find anywhere to go. Can I be your neighbor?

I have some of the nuns hats that we use in hospitals to collect patient urine and bm. It fits underneath the seat. I can then dump the waste into a bucket and take outside. I also have a portable bedside commode that forlds flat for storage.

If you decide to store freeze dried foods, know that you will need a lot of water to rehydrate them.
