Your facts just shot down the chances of my generator computers surviving an EMP! That's why we prep for worse cases and hope for the best....

Off-line back-ups shielded from loose electrons is the best option. In the big scheme of things it should not be that expensive. It may only require a back-up motherboard or power supply. However, inside a metal hull with good grounding, the EMP may not ... never mind, too many unknowns. Look for cheap insurance in spares that are isolated/shielded, but that can be readily installed.

I went through my GHB today and decided that a folding saw needs to be added.

I also decided to add a folding saw & a modern USGI Army shovel to my BOB.

It's time to review my preps! We might need them soon.

Funny thing - I was revamping, and organizing my stuff as well. Not so much because of the "current unpleasantness" as the need to get my stuff together again after a recent project. I figure the holidays are a good time to review equipment and get everything nice and shiny and organized once more.

Hope everyone enjoys the upcoming festivities!
