EMP vs. a motorcycle. I have read several stories about the effect of an EMP on a late model car/truck. How about a motorcycle? Especially a kick start only dirt bike/off road bike? I could get in the market for one of those.

"The Annoyed Man wrote:And speaking of infirm, in the event of a complete and long term social collapse, there are a lot of people like me who are going to probably die much younger than we would otherwise simply because we are dependent upon medications to sustain life. Diabetics are an obvious example. In my own case, there are five medications on which I depend. Two of those can be probably dispensed with as my weight comes down and my diet changes, those are blood pressure meds. One of the meds can probably be dispensed with by replacing it with something naturally grown, and that is pain control because of my back. But, the other two are a real problem. I no longer have a functioning thyroid gland, and I am dependent upon a daily thyroid supplement (which contributes to the difficulty of weight loss). There is no homeopathic alternative of which I am aware. Without a thyroid supplement, I will get sicker and sicker, and I will die much sooner, likely of heart disease. The other medication is intended to prevent an enlarged prostate. Without it, I am subject to crippling urinary tract infections, which in turn require pretty stiff doses of Cipro to knock them down. In fact, without antibiotic treatment, a UTI can easily become systemic and degenerate into sepsis, which is almost universally and rapidly fatal. Consequently, much of my preparation mindset is to ensure the survival of my loved ones, because I take it as a given that people like me will die off much sooner. I'm OK with my own demise because I know my King, but would like to see my loved ones' survival ensured before I pass, and so my long term strategy is being structured in that way."

Thanks for presenting this concern AM.
This is a big factor for me. After losing 60 lbs. over the years, I am now on maintenance medications and stomach medicine. Two days without
the HD antiacid medicine I take means the survival food I can put back I might not to be able to stomach. That is what you call a vicious circle.
So, put back all the meds I can and tough it out. Until I run out.

How about the women and the anti-depressents they take? What happens when they run out? I know four female family members nearby who would be either hell on wheels or closed up in a corner crying. How bad can that get? Too bad for sure.

Pray for sure for the right answer.
