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.

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.

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
