You don't have to tell me 

Virginia is cooked, Dems have full control. Its not the state's fault, when you look at us, we are 90% Red, we are just spread out, and Dems have a stranglehold on the cities, but the worst is up by D.C., they work in D.C. but live in Northern Virginia.

I have ammunition and MREs and a spring on my property.

I should be fine.

Oh yeah, they hardcore, I thought I did good, but they put me to shame lol. I always knew Frood, Biggie, and Lokmar are pretty prepared.

Im mostly good. Creek on the property and filtration. Since my surgery, I've already gone through 6 weeks of food supplies, still could live for another 2 months with what I got lol. I can hunt, but the main thing I keep forgetting to get is SEEDS!!!!

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on February 15, 2026, 06:41:24 PMI have comms just didn't list it all out

what I would do differently would be to put in a farady barrier right before I put on the water proof tarp and aluminum siding

Faraday sheaths or perforated sheets need to be relatively seamless... electrics manufacturing corporations use perforated sheets or cages that you can see through, because it's cheaper. The same as the door to your microwave oven. It's safe unless you stand there every time waiting for your food or popcorn to heat up. To have a bona-fide shed that keeps it all out would cost millions, unless you did it yourself, and were meticulous/anal retentive.

I don't mean to lecture here to you even while I find myself still doing so...but, a metal shed is a good start... though compartmentalize what you want to possibly work even if the leaky shed model fails. Triple shield in multiple redundant locations your core materials... ie... circuitry, stored solar panels, batteries, flashlights, radios, generators and generator parts, computers, cell phones, USB drives, cables, wires, radios, cb's, ham radio's, and replacement parts for anything like water filtration.... even extension cables and monitors/keyboards/mouses.

And look into into EMP guardian devices for your home/vehicles. They're relatively cheap and absorb mild to medium level bursts without frying connected tech.

Quote from: Frood on February 15, 2026, 06:36:22 PMNow imagine anything electrical you have is now fried.

Good set up, mind you... but you've got no comms..and the largest spends you undertook are inoperable.

What would you do differently if you had the chance?

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on February 15, 2026, 06:11:52 PMI have multi level preps

for example --

For power I built an entire shed to house a 10K solar inverter with 4 280ah lithium ion batteries connected right into my main panel via interlock switch. 10 500 watt solar panels mounted in the yard feed my inverter on sunny days. On cloudy days or rainy season I have feeding  inverter a 13000 watt generator which takes both propane and Gasoline. I keep a minimum of 250 lbs of propane and 100 gallons of treated gas stored at any given time.

I keep hundreds batteries around ranging from aaa to 9 volt and a few dozen rechargeable ones of the same sizes. I've got hundreds of fire starters ranging from cotton swabs dipped in a mixture of beeswax and kersone with matches dipped in turpentine. Hundreds of lighters, gallons of lighter fluid and thousands of matches. ANd if I have to go old school I got that too. I even can break out the magnifying glass and use the sun if I'm really out of options.

 at least 20 pounds worth of candles and hundreds of solar lights. I know about 5 different ways to start a fire, I can build a rocket stove out of cinder blocks and have hundreds of trees that I can chop down for fire wood via hand tools I have on hand if shit really goes south. I even make my own sterno.

That's not counting the 20 or so small propane cans for food cooking on portable rocket stoves. My barbecue grills with at least 50lbs of charcoal on hand at any given time

That's just part of my fuel, fire and energy assembly

I haven't even touched on how I purify my own water via the lake adjacent to my property or the 18,000 gallons of water I have sitting in my pool.

Yeah, I'm crazy... I know

Quote from: Frood on February 15, 2026, 05:27:19 PMI hope your prep game is diversified... I don't have much faith in the survival of consumer rated electronics even if moderately shielded. I think the first thing those in power will do (whomever is actually in power) will be to fry anything with a circuit and make EVERYONE dependent on their good will for water, food, medicine, transportation.... while letting us off each other.

something is 100% coming.

I've stepped up my prep game for real

Quote from: Biggie Smiles on February 14, 2026, 08:40:34 PMI didn't but something is definitely up with all the chatter I am getting from various sources

Plus, this is a very critical election year for the scum on the left so you know they will stop at nothing to get what they are after

The UFO talk is ramping up and so are disclosures/sightings. Two and a bit or so weeks ago I witnessed 3 myself in the night sky in the course of an hour. They initially presented as solo stationary stars each time. But I felt a strange compulsion to focus on them for no apparent reason known to me. When I did, they began moving fast and erratically then disappeared. I checked my stargazing apps and flightradar apps, and there was nothing on it for them.

I'm talking about things stopping and starting in the sky, changing trajectories  and moving in an orbit that I've never seen Starlink or any other satellite do/use. No sound either.

They could be drones... but I doubt it.

They might be ours though. The funny thing is that they didn't move around until I felt the desire to focus on them. I got a feeling that the things knew they were being watched... that it was an interaction for them as well as me.


Obama the other day stated aliens are real on a podcast.

Lots of higher profile people have been doing similarly of late,

I reckon they're going to pull the Disclosure rabbit out of the hat this year or very soon after in order to distract from other human debacles.... and like covid, most of it will be lies.
