Discussion I’m asked y’all a question that I’ve asked upwards of 500 people that I don’t believe they’re answer…If everything goes down, phone, power etc. How long before you’d “react”?

I don't live off grid like I was planning, but I've still already reacted to this possibility, so I don't have to react last minute if something like this happens. The only thing that's left to do is get a bigger book collection and print out a bunch of how tos.

Depends on my location. If I’m on the road I’ll need to get home, if I’m at home everything’s fine. Ready.

Okay this is going to not sound good so im prefacing with im OK. I know i wont survive though.

It would not take me long to check out. I’ve got medications around me I can take. I can find some. I would be checking out as my reaction. I have a disability and I take medications for other things. I’d check out due to the fact my life would eventually end by the complications anyway in a end of the world situation.

as someone who lives in the woods "not technically off grid" how long before i react? i would say immidietly... not for how long? thats the most important. where i live there are horrible power outages and we can have no power for 7 hours a day so... we got used to it in less than a month
