If you have a wife and young kids, I don’t think you would make it. Unless you abandon them.

Too old to worry about that stuff. The people that survive will be those who are part of and can contribute to a tight knit family/community looking out for each other. Like a wolf pack,the lone wolves will be the first to go and wont last long.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

if there is a nuclear war it will likely be an extinction event except maybe for a few indians in the amazon or something.

Sure, the Russians still have plenty of nuclear weapons and who knows how many the Chinese have but it seems like the threat has changed. I think it will be something else that causes . What? I don't know.

18-20 years ago an ice storm knocked out the power here for a week. That was fun. I watched an elm tree in my front yard catch on fire in the upper branches. Icicles were arcing juice into it. It must have blazed and went out 15-20 times before the electricity went out. Its always a good idea to have a generator on hand for freezer and frig. Get out whatever you need for the day. Freezer stuff to thaw and frig stuff in a ice cooler. Can run the generator for an hour if you dont open the door on either one till the next day. 3-4 Coleman lanterns and fuel are good to have on hand also.

if a solar storm knocks out the electricity i doubt its more than a couple weeks to turn it back on nation wide. probably a lot less. if it happens during the winter it will cause trouble. without electricity , hundreds of millions of people have no heat. i never understood why anyone would buy a total electric home or even a heating system that will not operate without electricity

Sure, the Russians still have plenty of nuclear weapons and who knows how many the Chinese have but it seems like the threat has changed. I think it will be something else that causes SHTF. What? I don't know. More likly to be a biological weapon then nuclear in my opinion Nuclear is expensive and requires hard to produce items while biological weapons can be produced cheaply with little expense There have been several instances of groups setting up bio labs to produce various kinds of bio weapons that have been caught one right here in MN where they were producing anthrax with the intention of using it Don’t know about now but I know that you used to be able to just order live samples of various germs and viruses from several places and the only restriction were on some of the nasty ones like hemorrhagic fever ect but there are plenty of them that could do mega harm but f released in large quantities And any decently knowledgeable person can grow a virous with a little equipment and research
