for each of those things that you need. And we start thinking through, and this is what I've done in the book. You start thinking through all the possible contingencies in an EMP situation. What's going to happen? Well, I'm going to have no electricity. What's going to happen to, you know, how am I going to navigate? How am I going to drive my car? How am I going to get my kid from school?
You know, you got to think through all these things and prepare, um, contingency plans and they don't have to be, they don't have to be thorough. They just have to be, I've thought about this and I've realized that I can't go, I can't take the freeway because such and such.
And so then you have these, these, these thoughts in your mind and it's going to guide you and you're going to improvise at a much higher level than you would if you hadn't already thought through these, these aspects.
Well, you know, things grow. Things grow in the water. You need to put things... We need to rotate. We rotate our water, and we also store it in a manner that the...
uh algae and stuff that can go that can grow in the water and the the all the all the creepy crawlies that will take over are not going to be able so there's there's things you can put in the water obviously there's you know we purify with chlorine and iodine also silver um you know copper things like that actually prevent uh algae growth and mold and things like that so there are lots of ways that we can store in conditions that we store them in the
the containers that we store them and the things that we can add and rotate. Rotation is very important that we can rotate through. And then also what happens if all of a sudden the pumping station goes down, you know, where are you going to get your water? So you got to source the water. You have to purify the water and you have to store the water. Those are the important things you need to do.
No, you're thinking of a safe room or something. Yes, or fortifications. Yeah, something of that sort. Fortifications are a double-edged sword because one, you're fortified and it makes you safer, but it also pins you down. You're now dependent on that location. So you can no longer move as effectively as you could. So I'm not a big fan of fortifications. I'm a big fan of
of setting things up ahead of time. For instance, for my family in the house, you know, bullets go through walls very easily. And so one of the things I recommend in the book and that I'll have is frangible ammunition. And this is something we trained with quite a bit in the SEAL teams when we were doing house runs.
A frangible projectile is a bullet that is basically made of compressed copper or some other metal that's pressed together. So it's lethal, but as soon as it strikes a hard object, it just fragments into a cloud of of fairly non-offensive dust. And so there are things that we need to think of in the house. And obviously we don't want to get to the point where someone's in our house.
We've messed up if we're at that point, but we still need to plan that contingency. So how am I going to deal with this? Where are my family going to go to? How am I going to get my, yeah, there we go. Where am I going to get my kids, my wife, my parents, my pets to, so that I can clear this house and I can deal with the threat without having
to worry about where they're at and if they're in my line of fire. So there's all kinds of things we've got to think about.
One of the biggest things that I always... One of the biggest things I always tell people for basic house fortification, before you do anything else, is go down to Home Depot or Lowe's and buy some three-inch wood screws, the big, long, heavy suckers, and then go through all of your doors and replace the strike plates for the panels and the hinges.
Take out those little one-and-a-quarter-inch screws or three-quarter-inch screws, whatever they put them in there, that one good kick will put those right through the wall, and put three-inch screws into that big... that big support lintel all the way around. And that is going to, I went to breacher school.
And when we're learning to break in places, you know, the difference between the little tiny screw and a three inch screw will give you at least 10 minutes of, you know, depending on how prepared they are, it will give you time to realize someone's coming in to retreat to your safe room or whatever your plan happens to be and deal with the threat and engage in whatever manner you need to.
But the biggest thing is slowing down I mean, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. And so what we want to do is we want to make sure that that reactionary gap between something happening and us being able to respond to it is as long as possible.
So we're able to mitigate whatever circumstances are happening, get our loved ones safe, and then engage in whatever manner we need to to deal with the threat.
Well, we're certainly barreling towards the kinetic aspect. I think we're in World War III right now, which is a war of narratives. It's fifth-generation warfare. However, the kinetic aspect of it, we are barreling towards... with total abandon. And so I don't know. And really, one of the things I hit in my book all the time is I don't want to sell fear.
This isn't about World War III or, you know, Civil War or even, you know, a nuclear explosion or EMP. What this is about is about getting back to the things that we can be empowered with in our own life. Take care of your house. Take care of your food. Take care of your water. Take care of your community.
build community, connect with people that provide things that you don't provide and build that so that then we're living in a way that these things that we're worried about, if they come to pass, we're already set up for it. I believe in creating a life that we live and these things are just natural outgrowths of the way we live.
Well, when you talk to all the experienced preppers, everyone talks about ham radio, HF radio, which is absolutely the gold standard. However, it's very difficult to learn. It's not something you have to get licensed for it. I mean, in a shithead hitting the fan situation, nobody's going to be worried about licenses, but you still have to operate that. And it's not something that you can just...
