there are many more less scientific events that could have just as devastating impact on how we live.....each much more likely than EMP.....

Oil supply disruption for 6 months to a year.
Gasoline distribution disrupted for 6 months to a year.
Contaminated/disrupted water supply.
Disrupted power supply, no electricity for 6 months to a year.
Infectious airborne virus.

Just to name a few.

How many could or would stock up to be self sustaining for up to one year for minimum two people? They would be in maybe 5% who might do it.

Every day that goes by the reality of something catastrophic becomes more likely whether caused by an enemy or nature or just the falling down and failing of our aging infrastructure.

That being said I am headed out to play some golf in the warm sun.
