I think we can go without internet for a week or two. For entertainment, I'll just take videos of by neighbors wandering aimlessly on the street. It will make great footage for The REAL Walking Dead documentary, and I'll post once Starlink kicks in.
As someone who's worked in cybersecurity for over 15 years, I will say that no internet would be more catastrophic than anticipated. Medical records, business transactions including stocks and contracts, military info including classified+, would all be unable to read.
It's more than just no Netflix or Facebook. I don't remember if our bunker I worked in even had fax, and this was over a decade ago. Hopefully there is redundancy in place for long form and constant communications.
My effort feels a bit anemic with only 30-40 days. Cash is exhausted as I have been out of work for 2.5 years and I am still dragging a mortgage through this shit normie fest.
I no longer think we need a year so i think Patriot you are well supplied. Let's see if MAGA Pubs in House can stop Debt Ceiling and we will be on our way
Sometimes I think the Amish got it right (the no tech aspect at least). They're already self sufficient and will have less issues stemming from supply chain interruptions than the regular population.
Yes, indeed, they are extremely self sufficient, and I am grateful to have learned much from them over the past 9 years. 10 years ago I never dreamed that I would one day be simplifying my life - growing a garden; canning; returning to church services; being no longer interested in "keeping up with the Jones-es;" learning their PA German language; and, above all, having them enter into my life. My so-called "good friends" disappeared. CoVID was the major factor, but they could never handle even hearing anything about the Amish.
I remember a 50 mile biking event in Amish country we went to. We were at a rest stop, all decked out in our riding gear (helmets, jerseys, riding shorts, clip-ins, etc), Canondales everywhere and a bunch of Amish kids rode by barefoot on old bikes with innertubes slung over their shoulders - I guess heading for the river. Girls in frocks and boys in pants. The extremes of techno-folk versus simple-life made me chuckle.
As much as it would be nice I think that's when they would try and roll out their plan since Noone can talk to each other in real time to prepare for activities
Get cb radio. Full disclaimer I have two star links. Make sure you have the home version. It gets first priority. I also have the rv version it gets deprioritized.
We paid money down to get on waitlist (it would go towards the final payment). After about six months we got our money back. Don’t know when it’s available here. It would be worth the extra money to get a decent connection. In rural NC we are paying for ten speed and barely get eight. My dad is next door with twenty speed. They say it’s not available and can’t look at his account. I get that because privacy is important. What ticks me off is twenty speed is available but they won’t give it. Only reason we got internet about fifteen (apx) years ago is we live beside a school. That’s with Centurylink now Brightspeed. My family has a house at the coast and Spectrum internet is 250 speed. Like everything else money talks. More homes and businesses at the coast.
I’d borrow someone’s Starlink to see if it works on your property. If it does I would then order one usi my someone’s address who is in area that can be ordered but make sure it’s rv version so that they allow you to use it anywher you go other than the address it was ordered at.
ham radio, get your license and the exams will teach you what you might not know. Yes, if things go to hell a license won't matter, but if you get your license you will use it and practice with the radio and gain confidence. You don't open the wrapper on emergency gear and try to figure it out when the emergency hits, you practice and get familiar with it, so when the emergency hits, you have confidence in the tools. Same goes for shooting, first aid, emergency food cooking(which a lot haven't done), starting a fire, vehicle repair, etc.
I agree. They are more awake than most think. The problem is that they have no context to our world. They grew up with things and took things for granted that we did not have. This is a good thing as we will be the baseline moving forward. When you boil it down to conciseness and spirituality, they are closer to us than you would think. My issue is that I have to peel the layers of disinfo from them to get there, but it is there and when I connect it almost feels priceless. Then I remember this is an information war... Strange times, indeed.
My wife teaches high school. The kids can't read or write cursive. She has made it a point to teach them. She says, "If you can't read cursive, how can you read the Constitution?", "How can you have your own signature?". She has a set of cursive lettering that goes up above the chalkboard from her elementary school teaching days because her kids all want to learn it.
I’m sure they had this in mind when they stopped teaching cursive. Also in NC a child can’t be held back more than twice. I’ll have my first grandchild soon. I’ve already said my grandkids will know how to write cursive. I feel like their parents would teach them but just in case they don’t I’ll teach them.
It would almost be worth going to a city and filming all the people walking around holding their phones up high trying to get a signal. But no - I'll stay away.

NSA better be on the white hats side.
They won't nuke the net as a whole, they would would hurt and hamstring themselves too much by doing so......
Socials however.......
That is the way, unfortunately. I don't see any other way to wake the masses... even if it is just for a week(+/-).
What a great idea, watch people suffer nervous breakdowns over no internet. I will have to admit that I will miss the greatawakening site though.
I have downloaded all important stuff and plan to download all Jan 6. I have 1 year of survivable food....#COMFYAF
1 year ! Nice prepping !
Name checks out.

Make sure all your important docs saved in the cloud esp and including family pics videos.
never believed in anything cloud ..... old old school
I've done all I can for myself and the wife. Extended to my kids families. Now i wait.
I need a cold turkey phone outage. I welcome it.

That's why the FDA in on them like flies on shit.

Sometimes the simple things in life, is just that... Life.
If I could, I would live like 1900 AD.
In fact, that's exactly what I want. To live like 1900 AD except with technology. I would be completely self-sufficient, like in the old days.
But I'd have internet, a car, a truck (none electric), and a few other things.
We can combine to create the best of all possible worlds.
Your exactly right fren ! Hey , get a couple chickens and a meat grinder.. You can do it !

Wow ... for residential, $110/mo with a one-time hardware cost of $599.
$135/mo with a one-time cost of $599 for portable hardware or $2,500 for in-motion hardware.
Can't afford $600 just to get this.
Oh wow, I had no idea it was a pay per play thing. I thought musk would just activate it if regular net went down.
wtf this is the alternative? either go under or pay this to drain my entire bank account every month??

Can you elaborate on this? My siblings and I are trying to figure out the best way to communicate if the SHTF.

Which part? Cb radio? Or Starlink?
If you live close - CB radio
U.s. mail
I hope we do for old times sake and to wake up the under 30yo crowd. They need a fucking wake up.

How stupid do you have to be to not be able to read cursive? It's just loopy print
It would almost be worth going to a city and filming all the people walking around holding their phones up high trying to get a signal. But no - I'll stay away.
film? what is filming? /s
I still say video tape and recording 🤣
True!
Good old days
