Had a blackout half an hour ago which only lasted 20 Minutes but now im somewhat paranoid it could happen again

Lmao you ever seen what happens in LA or NY when the power goes out? I get in Africa you're used to everyone chumping out 24/7, but in the US of A we're not used to door to door rape gangs.

>Africa power goes off: Business as usual, but without power
>America: Societal collapse

Soft.

once had a blackout for a few days. could be worse.
preps:
>generator
>gas
>extra water
>easy prep food
>trashbags
>disposable plates and cutlery (unless you can clean stuff with the classic soap water mess and clean water rinse in 2 buckets)

this isn't from my experience in a few days without power. mom used to live in USVI, hurricanes wreck shit there for a while. like no power or running water for weeks to a month in really bad times. you're in the states, it's fine. just have a generator

kek i also thought he meant that sort of blackout at first.

>do not post off topic
>do not reply to off topic threads
>report off topic OPs

Food, water, medical kit, shotgun, 00buck, and anything you need for heating. You want to be ready for at least 2 weeks to 3 months. Also have an exit plan for where you will go once your supplies will run low if the situation lasts long.

This is unironically the kind of stuff you should prepare for.
Generator if you have the funds, space and need for juice, otherwise get something to heat your home/water/cook.
Ready to eat food, or anything that doesn't need to boil in water if you're really poor.

Thats what you NEED, everything else is optional, even recommended but not essential to live, you tard

stockpile clean water, make sure you have some sort of gas cooker. don't keep opening the fridge every 5 minutes like a fat retard.

Your business as usual is rape gangs and Boko Haram kidnapping girls to sell as wives on the OPEN market. Thank God our society isn't built like that.

>Africa is one place
American Education makes the mind soft, living in the West makes the body soft.

>How do I prep for a blackout which last longer e.g 10 hours to several days?
Gas for the grill, coolers, ice, and beer. Find something to do outside or read a book or two. It's not that bad, suck it up.

t. seven days without power

Focus on essentials, shelter, food, water
If you are in a cold climate make sure you can heat your home when the power goes down
Keep some candles for lighting
Have a way to cook food and boil water
Have a supply of food and water that will last a few days without refrigeration

After that chill and read a book

Why is having no power so scary? We went weeks without electricity or running water after some hurricanes. It’s just like being on an extended camping trip at you house...

It basically is right? It's not like you can single out a country in Africa that doesn't have roaming rape gangs.

When hurricane florence hit nc I was out of power for 4 days. Pack your perishables in the ice in your freezer and and keep the freezer door closed to keep it as long as possible. I charged my shit at work and reloaded some ammo to pass the time

10 hours is nothing man...I went through the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Southwest_blackout. Guess what? There was no rioting. No looting. In fact it was awesome due to the near zero light pollution you could see stars you couldn't see before. The bioluminescent plankton in the ocean was absolutely the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

a 1911 and the rest should sort itself out on its own

Generally true although it's up to the individual. I do heavy compound lifts 3 times a week and run 3 times a week. I've lived in very austere conditions during my time in the military. It's a point of pride for me to work towards living in a way that most people are just too weak for. I find it extremely satisfying to be the best version of myself mentally and physically. I pity the person that doesn't know the primal satisfaction of being exceptionally strong. Work truly does set you free.
