Whoopsie!

someone fucked up big time at your local power plant right this second and there's no power in a 500 mile radius for the next 10 days. how do you fare?

I'd fare pretty well. I'd go and grab one of the generators from the barn.

I've got a honeywell propane automatic generator and a 500 gal tank of propane.

got a poulan generator and enough gas to keep my phone charged for shit posting, but it's gonna get hot. guess i could string up my hammock on the porch. food and water are covered.

I got 15 gallons of water in bottles and plenty of fast cooking noodles. A huge bag of whey and a couple pounds of tuna. 3 lanterns and a inverter in my car that has a half tank of gas. A small generator which I won't use since it's only good for a laptop and maybe single power tool, sump pump and it'd attract all the wrong color attention. A small propane BBQ can be used to cook if municipal gas goes out. But I also have a couple mapp & propane bottles to heat things quickly. Should be alright. I have three shotgun blank perimeter alarms which should keep me pretty safe. I should get a few more however and step up my water game.

decently in that I share a border with a retirement community and any acts of aggression will be limited to old busybodies being a minor nuisance and or them being hit first by any actual roaming nogs

I'll survive, but I'd do better in October. Ten days without air conditioning in August is going to be pretty tough.

>In Australia
Guaranteed rioting and mass chink exodus.

10 whole days of jerking off in the dark eating beef jerky.

The prophecy told of the great jerky jerk but I never thought I'd see it in my life time.

>how do you fare?

Fine, because I live in Florida; I've lived through hurricanes that cut the power for two months. Ten days is nothing.

i just so happened to get groceries and i just so happen to have gas and camping gear
i'd make it. it wouldn't be comfy, considering i'd need to eat lots of yogurt the first few days, but i'd make it.
i also don't like my tap water so i don't use it as drinking water, but worst case my camping shit has a filter and tablets if needed.

i would literally not leave my apartment after the 1st day, and check my phone for news updates.
have a usb that's charged for phone, conveniently.

>someone fucked up big time at your local power plant right this second and there's no power in a 500 mile radius for the next 10 days. how do you fare?

I'm fine. I have two battery packs that will charge a laptop or phone or batteries and a fold out solar panel and rechargeable lanterns, an a bag with 100 tea candles, 30 cans of butane a double butane hob and a butane space heater, even have a coleman oven and a 300 litre tank and a little 700W silent inverter generator (I use it for work sometimes) and a few Gerry cans full of fuel). I even have no lethal electric fencing that runs of 12V 1A and CCTV that's the same but I'd just use it to top the batteries if the solar was no good due to cloud. Have PMR446 that reach my family members within 1K. Typically have a months food, so I'd eat the freezer stuff first, then the dehydrated pasta sauces and tinned fruit etc. after that have about 6 months worth of the Augason Farms stuff. Also have a property with its on well and a 10KW generator 8K APC UPS and CCTV laser alarms etc and wood burning stove but doubt I'd even need it. Basically I would not even notice and may even put on some weight. Security wise I have NV thermal and IR laser illum so bring on the darkness. Short of state forces there is nothing getting in or surviving assaulting my residence and even state forces would have a challenge on the more rural location if even a few of my family were there (not that I have a problem with the state but my point is any criminal gangs or looters would get ass raped so hard, we are well armed and have armour and a range of deterrents starting with dobermans). So yeah, kick back, enjoy my libraries both digital and paper and chill with my doggo.

no hurricane has cut the power for 500 mile radii in florida since florida had electricity.
it's different when most of a city doesn't have power but the grid is slowly being put back together.
you could still go out and get shit, to include gas, after awhile.
but yeah 10 days would be nothin

>august
>no power

Ive got 10 gallons of water so id last . . . at least another 10-12 hours. fug

You seem like a good man.
I tell ya what, there ain't nothing like surviving a desperate situation with sweet lady propane.

when the power goes out but you still taste the meat; not the heat

Dunno if you've ever been through any hurricanes, but there is no gas to get, it gets bought out in the run up. If it's a power loss with no warning then the credit cards won't work, but if they have a generator to run the pumps and you have cash you might be able to get some

>2 months
what dont you get about 2 months?
1/6 of the year

i jej'd

This shit's happened before around here and not a lot became of it.

creatine is a shit supplement

Plenty of stocked food, plenty of candles and plenty of books to catch up on.

I work at a facility that runs its own powerplant that supplies energy to the reat of the island.
Actually come to think of ot a few months ago one of the generators just up and exploded. The radio was going fucking nuts that day. We didnt lose power because theres 5 generators so they can run in shifts.

great job with this post. it really answered the question presented and explained your solution.
oh nvm it did none of that.

>10 Days of pulling security and sleeping during the day

Oh right. Id go help fix the broken shit and eat some of the food i have stockpiled. Shit would be good in less than a week.

City fags are to dependant on shit

I'm jealous. I'd have to manually start it and plug it into the main

Still have gas so turn all of my milk into yogurt to buy me more time to eat it all, can still read during the day so sit in my living room with a shotgun, lever action rifle in 30-30, and my Makarov waiting for someone to try to break in. I live in an apartment in the 3rd story so only way in is over the balcony or through the front door. I have enough rice, oatmeal, beans, and pasta to last me all 10 days and also have frozen veggies I can boil to eat so no problems with my nutrition. I can also prop a metal stool I have against the door and putting a bucket fill with sand propped up against the chair to make it extra difficult to break in. Have a giant bookshelf with books I haven't read yet so pass the time doing that. Plus plenty of alcohol to keep me entertained. Only thing I could improve on would be sandbags that I could fill outside at the playground but I'm pretty secure.

>10 days
>still have running water
>still have a grill with propane

Fine. I do fine

Still got my old porn mags everything's good.

Fuck, reminds me I need a generator so I have water.

the water will still work for a bit, you know?
potentially all 10 days, but long enough to fill up your tub and sinks, easily.

tfw have a well

There is a nuke plant in the process of being decommissioned within 20 miles of me. Does it have power, or does it go into meltdown?

ur gonna die
faggot

Does the well have an electric pump, like mine? Because if so, and you don’t have a generator, have fun with no water.

I'm not really worried. I have a portable gas generator and rougly 30 gal of gasoline. More importantly, I have a PTO generator that fits on my tractor and a couple hundred gallons of diesel. I could run my whole house including the AC if I cared to. I have a few months worth of food that will keep regardless of electricity. (dried, canned, pickled, etc.), plus 4 acres of garden and a bunch of chickens.

I have 4gal of drinking water, I'll be ok if I ration it
but I need groceries and only have a card not cash, also my car is close to empty.
I have 4 frozen meals that'll be ok if they thaw for a day or 2 as long as I keep the freezer door shut, a pack of brauts, a large can of emergency chilimac and 5gal of chocolate protein powder
I have a small solar charger to top off my phone as long as I don't use it too much
and gas stove and grill
finished my last beer last night so that'll suck but I've got a bottle of wine, bottle of champagne and half a bottle of scotch

have a beach within an hour or 2 walk so if it gets too hot during the days i'll hike down there with a book, tarp and hammock and stay cool swimming, I have a life straw somewhere so I can save water by drinking straight from the lake

I didn’t specify. If there’s no power I don’t have running water or a way to fill up the bathtubs. I do have a 60 gallon emergency tank in the garage for the time being. Been planning a rainroof and cistern collection system on paper but I just bought this house so I haven’t gotten around to building it yet, or getting generator.

10 days? I'm fine

why would I not have a generator

Gee 10 days. I mayvhave to brake into my lube stash to keep ocupied and i would miss you guys.

Based

good opportunity to run around and cleanse the niggers

Fuck off back to pol

ok nigger
see you in the apocalypse

>500 mile radius
do you have no concept of distance?

>someone fucked up big time at your local power plant
>live 15 miles away from a nuclear power plant

I think I got bigger things to worry about then no power

I'd fare pretty well, this sort of stuff happens a lot where I live (not on this scale, but most of the county). I'd probably just be bored for the next few days. I'd go outside, maybe do some shooting.

this is a little to weird and strange.

Jesus man, are you ok?

I don't think you understand how large a 500 mile radius is. That's 785,000 square miles. We're talking 1/5th of the country without power for 10 days.

500 miles? So all of VA, WV, parts of ohio, Maryland, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

I'll be fine as I live in the middle of nowhere and have enough dry foods/water. Though I sure some shit would go down in the cities.

Vaycay time faggots enjoy being poor. Im going to a beach.

WHERE

IS

THIS

WHOOPSIE?

The northeast blackout of 2003 started with a single plant. Cascading failure is a real cunt.

AZ is based, but would suck pretty hard for any SHTF.

I'd be fine where I am, but I'd probably head to my buddy's house. He's got a pool.

If you get the chance, talk to a nuclear engineer who worked anytime anywhere in the US during that. Its a really interesting story on how they fixed it.
