When shit hits the fan the ability to be a Do It Yourselfer will be of grave importance

[Biggie Smiles]

So in this thread I'm going to be sharing lots of tips and tricks on survival prep tactics from making your own water filtration system to building out an entire solar backup system with a propane to solar backup

it may come in handy because, from where I sit, on the front lines of the cybersecurity landscape things are really starting to heat up. I'm being called in multiple times a day to help victims of cyberattacks and it's only a matter of time before one of these attacks gets through to the power grid.

In fact, knowing our gov I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they purposefully left the cyber doors wide open for such an attack.


So first tip.

Making fire.

Go to dollar tree and get yourself a couple of 9 volt batteries and some packages of steel wool. Store them way from each other of course. you can start a good fire with the battery coming in contact with the steel wool.

and while you're at the dollar tree also pick up some lighters and books of matches

So Bigly, when you set up a solar panel system, does the homeowner need to hook into a digital network?

I thought that was the purpose of solar panels, to avoid being on the grid so you can make your own energy.

Or do state regulations require that solar home owners be hooked into electrical grid?

All the modern electricity is digital.

Analog electricity is obsolete.

Digital electricity... I'll have to drink about that...

There are dozens of ways to make fire. Practice as many as you can.

I thought the army and first responders were still analog.

yep. this video has some informative ways

I also like the tinfoil and 3 AA batteries in series method

People need to get with the program as shit cannot continue like this for much longer.

On the front lines in the cybersecurity space I'm seeing it first hand. Infiltrations left and right. I've never, in my 28 year career seen as much hacking activity globally as I am seeing right now. I'm literally working 7 days a week right now

And they would be wise to remain that way. EMP is a very real possibility

I carry with me in my work bag many fire starters but my favourite houses a little Bic lighter...

One that has an obvious limitation (needs sunlight) but is otherwise reliable and infinitely reusable is a small magnifying glass. Even a broken piece of glass bottle might do in a pinch but magnifying glasses are cheap, portable, and work a treat.

Ferro rods are a must, or at least a flint and steel. Problem with ferro rods though are they're prone to disintegration if used and stored for a big spell.

At this point I feel sorry for people who live in larger cities.

It's going to be complete anarchy

[Frood]

I've got the popcorn and whiskey ready for that.

That's some George Carlin level entertainment.

I already got a flint and steel.  I also know where the spring that feeds my pond is.  And I got a basement full of "necessities."

I'm good. ;)

I keep something like this in my camping gear:
