I was having this conversation with my daughter and thought it was an interesting topic.
If an EMP or solar flare took out everything electronic in the whole world (permanently), how long do you think it would take for you to die, given your current location and circumstances.
I believe my daughter thinks we would live a lot longer than I do, but she is thinking about how long she can live without the internet while I am thinking the world will quickly descend into anarchy.
With no traditional forms of transport, so supplies would dry up, limited resources, health etc, law and order would be a challenge as things become more desperate.
I think I would live for about 3 months. I would try to get the family somewhere safe and remote and come back later, but I think most people would have the same idea.
I would live maybe even longer than in the current world. So much more action would help my physical condition.
I have grown up with low tech, so I know how to get along. It is just a lot less convenient.
Got a plan for food, long-term?
Grows everywhere. I would go outside of the city, but I have heard about people in cities can also grow things.
The much more difficult “secret knowlege” (nobody seems to know it anymore except a few large companies) is how to store food long-term, for example through a cold winter.
So you’re planning to find some empty land and then plant some crops?
That’s a possibility. I’m not exactly planning.
