You're welcome celticstar and thank you for the link.

Here is a little tidbit that is an eye-opener. On January 6, 2010 there were 1091 potentially hazardous asteroids.

EMP? When I think of getting by without electricity my mind thinks of several things...

1. How to get water into the house as we are on a catchment system and need to pump water in just to flush toilets.

2. How to have hot water for showers, laundry and cleaning.

We did get a solar generator but need to portect it.. however we're thinking sump pump or maybe something else if that doesn't work.

Just installed a solar water heater... but it too has a pump that needs electricity.

3. How to keep food cold.. refrigeration system?

4. Illumination (oil laterns, candles, windup flashlights)

5. How to cook? Solar oven, propane oven, bar-b-que grill, gas oven

6. Communication (hand held short wave radio)

7. Transportation - bike, horse carts, feet
Folks are looking for older cars but how to power them if gas pumps don't work?
