There was a novel published in 2006: "One Second After" by William R Forstchen. The plot revolves around a group of people in Black Mountain, NC after the grid goes down and how they organize and survive. It's fiction based on the 2004 EMP report given to the US Congress. As a youth during the Cold War living on the edge of a Red Zone (as shown on the Civil Defense map of the UK in the post office in Dundonald, Ayrshire Scotland), I did a lot of reading about nuclear weapons and their effects and that's where I first came across the EMP phenomenon. So, it could be said that I've been prepping mentally for disaster for 45 years. Many times, I thought I was being foolish and certainly the people I would caution thought so. My legal pads are for planning the survival of the good folks in the holler. We have the land and the knowledge to grow our own food and in the pre electric old time ways. The older people around here grew up without electricity or indoor plumbing. I have experience in wilderness survival, "thanks Pop". I do believe that it is prudent to plan for the worst case scenario, anything less would be easier to cope with. Under preparing puts you in with the swarm of hungry people who will be desperate and, desperate people do the absolute worst things. I got plenty of tidbits of survival stuff. I'm going to share them with you so that y'all might find the flaws and I can adjust them.
Number one; learn at least one pre industrial skill. "I know things that can help you survive so, killing me right now is probably not the best idea. Hey, if it turns out I'm full of it, you can kill me later Mr Marauder".
Number two; no plan survives contact with reality.
