“Grizzly checks in with his thoughts on a power outage”
Long Absence
First off, I apologize for the long absence. No excuses. Just nothing urgent was really brought up by anyone or came to mind through inspirations or external proddings.
Couple of things for this week.
- There’s lots of chatter about cyber attacks occurring pre-election on comms or power grid. One wonders what the nationwide AT&T outage was all about last week?
Anyway, let’s run that scenario out for a bit – Power outage. Since a week or possibly two shouldn’t be a big deal for us, let’s stretch out to 1 month without power and some thoughts surrounding that.
Thirty days without power is a MAJOR event.
Within one week, we could expect a total societal breakdown. Grocery stores will be long since empty. Gas stations will be inoperable for weeks by now. Hospitals will be out of secondary power. Cities will be dark and inhabitants will be “dwelling in the valley of death” that David wrote about. Even most people that have done a pretty good job of preparing will be pushing their limits.
As always – first things first.
Water – we determined that 3 gallons per person per day is a realistic number. So a family of four will need 360 gallons in this period. Not horrible. We should have this covered. The tank below is what we suggested in January.
Food next. We should have this covered as well with a combination of freeze dried food, canned goods, freezer stock.
Along with keeping the freezer food though goes generators. We’ve discussed this as well but please have solar generators, gas generators, a whole house diesel or propane generator – or all of the above.
Cooking source – we’ve covered this to from propane camp chefs to Woodstoves, even jetboils for any overwatch situations where you may be eating where you’re living.
So – water, food, cooking, power sources – covered.
Lights – covered but depending on location, light discipline will be a major concern.
Biggest concern for me?
Societal collapse and need for around the clock guard duty. Even before these 7-10 million illegals that have come here the past 3 years it would be a huge concern, but now it’s critical level.
Here’s where good communities and teams of prepared families will be an absolute necessity. Within a week people will be starving, desperate to feed themselves and their kids, out of medicine, freaked out and panicked, and absolutely possible of doing anything to survive. Our places will be targets. We’ve discussed force multipliers such as night vision, thermals, early warning systems, etc. All these will need to be utilized. Comms within the group and loved ones will be important – radios, Garmins, Sat phones will be needed.
So – I think we’ve covered what we need to do. This might happen quickly when it happens. It will be hard to know if it’s s brief outage at first – there’s no way to know. This is always a concern. If we delay too long, thinking it was a short term event, we may be stuck where we are and our extended families and friends stuck where they are. I’m certain the emergency broadcasting we’ll be listening to on our radios will say that the power outages are regional and coming back on as repaired. I’m not sure I’ll buy this.
So. Keep filling in gaps and doing the best you can, thinking you may be stuck where you are and prepare as best you can. Good neighbors will be key in addition to our preparedness items.
- The second thing to discuss today is for the Colorado residents receiving these reminders. There’s a bill coming soon to be voted on, sorry I forget the HB nomenclature. Basically it’s a semi-auto ban. Given the balance of power in both CO house and senate, it’s a pretty good bet that this will pass. So, if you are short on any AR platform battle rifles, I would add them to your arsenal ASAP. Also, as this bill also will ban transfer of ownership, I don’t believe they will be allowed to be transferred to a trust, so they aren’t forfeited upon your death. So, if your concerned about this, set up the trusts now and transfer ownership to this trusts. I have concerns about naming everything in a trust so personally I won’t do this but perhaps it’s more appealing to some of you.
That’s it – just a kind of review through the lens of a 30 day power outage. Just don’t get lax. Keep these thoughts in your head and follow your plan to become more prepared next week than we are this week.
God bless.
Keep your eyes on the horizon and your face in the wind.

“Yet, the stock markets worldwide are at or close to all time highs. Which market reflects the reality on the ground?”
Triple Net Investor said, “I don’t know what’s crazier…this headline or seeing office properties drop 80-90% in just a few years.”
“Absolutely Crazy”: Vacant LA Office Tower To Be Torn Down For Just 30 New EV Charging Stations
Kyle Bass, the founder of Dallas-based Hayman Capital Management, explained last year that the office tower segment of the commercial real estate sector is in such dire straights that towers need to be demolished as demand isn’t returning. He also mentioned converting these towers into residential apartments may not be feasible in some cases.

Precious metals expert and financial writer Bill Holter says the market is exuberant with the idea the Federal Reserve is going to be forced to cut interest rates as the economy sinks. Holter has warned about the US dollar turning into confetti because of massive dollar printing and more and more bank bailouts. Holter is taking the other side of the rate cutting bet, and he thinks the Fed will do just the opposite.

“But hey, after all, these (26) contractors did receive valuable dollars for their parts, right?”
North Korean missile used in Ukraine was packed with U.S. parts
“More concerning, perhaps, is the fact that according to CAR’s study — which you can read in full here — those U.S. components were manufactured within the last three years. This raises clear questions about the efficiency of United Nations sanctions placed on North Korea which are intended, above all, to disrupt its wide-ranging ballistic missile development program.”

The good news is this “great taking” can be stopped at the state level. Americans don’t need to count on a divided Congress to get the job done.

Bill’s Commentary:
“This may be THE most important interview you have ever watched. You’ve known deep down in your gut for years that everything is rigged, now you have a good idea “how” they have done it from a psychological perspective. Many loose ends are unravelling, and truths seem to be popping up all over the place. Just understand, when the rigs one by one are revealed and fail, and the populace finally stands up, what will be revealed from behind the curtain is a very dismal reality. I urge you to watch this and pass it around, even to those who have called you crazy for years. Some may watch, you never know?”
The national security state is the main driver of censorship and election interference in the United States. “What I’m describing is military rule,” says Mike Benz. “It’s the inversion of democracy.”

Bill’s Commentary:
“It has been a while since I’ve posted a Christian short story. While not business related, maybe it will put a smile on your face and give you a break from the daily pounding of bad news and sad stories?”
Working as many as three jobs a week while attending college and graduating at age 25 with a degree in mechanical engineering was quite an accomplishment. Now at age 29, Daniel Henlee is loving his job with a company that is earning a name for itself in the field of Artificial Intelligence known as AI. And to make things even better, his work with AI robots has so captivated his wonderful wife Everleigh, whom he thanks the Lord for every day; she can hardly wait to hear every new detail related to his work with AI. He laughed when, with a big smile on her face, she said as much as she was intrigued by how human-like AI robots can be, one would never replace having a baby of their own even if it would save on the cost of diapers.
“Perhaps truckers in America have learned something from revolting farmers in Europe.” – Zerohedge
Truck drivers transport between 70% to 73% of all freight in the United States. Therefore, when truckers begin discussing plans on social media to boycott loads to progressive hellhole New York City, it’s important to pay attention.
X user Chicago1Ray, who appears to be a Midwest truck driver, shared a video late Friday night detailing that a number of truck drivers will begin denying loads to NYC on Monday.
“I don’t know how far across the country this is – or how many truckers are going start denying loads to NYC – but I’ll tell you – you f**k around and find out,” Chicago1Ray said.
