(Thanks, A. :)

(I don't think Doug and Stacy are expecting the grid to go down on any huge scale. But weather events, etc., could result in power outages that might last more than a few hours. I live in the near suburbs of a major metropolitan center. Several years ago, weather and the falling of a large tree across power lines led to a 9-day period of high summer heat with no air conditioning. As I recall we kept the refrigerator running thanks to a kindly neighbor who let us run a 100-foot extension cord from his house to ours. That saved our refrigerated food even as we personally sweltered, ourselves. :) Just saying: "Stuff happens.")

Re: OFF GRID with DOUG & STACY: 'FOOD STORAGE ....

Hi Hobie,
I am not sending this to you necessarily to be posted but definitely want you to think about this rationally. The reason is We the little people need to plan responsively to all the crises Biden et al throw our way.

I honestly do not expect the grid to "go down". Yes its a contingency but I don't think it's going to happen on grand scale. Probably more like hurricane or tornado down to be honest...and for short periods.

*If the grid goes down, there will be no surveillance.*

That is the " be all end all" in having vs not having affordable power! It's a huge Catch 22 for our governing Elites.

I predict they rather us eat and have electricity right now in order that they can keep their eye and ear on us. Gas will be a pinch and they are getting ready to crash not only the market but property values.

But power stays on for now. Its fear porn right now but probably not forever.
