This website helps explain why and how a long-term blackout can occur, what to expect and do if it does occur, and what you can do to prepare before it occurs. The how to prepare and survive information found on this website also assumes you plan and hope to remain in your home and protect your family and emergency supplies to the best of your ability.

You should have already noticed that all of the elite individuals, government officials, and others who have an abundance of wealth are already well stocked in emergency food and water with underground safe houses powered by generators and solar panels and batteries - for a reason. They obviously know something more than what we are told.

Although the cost and availability of a solar system and solar products has remained relatively reasonable, the cost of emergency food has more than tripled and availability is somewhat limited over the past few years - for a reason.

If you live within a city or far out in the country, the information on this website might not help or benefit you as much as the others. If a long-term power outage or grid failure was to occur, people living in the city would likely have little or no chance to survive if they remain in place. People living in the country, the farmers and the amish, already know how and are able to survive a catastrophic power outage with little or no affect and will go on living pretty much as normal.

Sad to say, those people who did not prepare for a sudden long-term disaster will become the "hunters" and those people who did prepare will become the "hunted". And, there will be no police or cavalry to answer your plea for help.

• Inner city people in good health and with some kind of common sense and survival skills will eventually leave the city in search of food and water outside the city limits and into the country. Each day, they will become more desperate.

• People living between the cities and the open country should be prepared with good survival and defense skills for when desperate individuals come for their food, water and emergency supplies. Every living unprepared person will eventually begin to hunt for food and water. As hunger and dehydration affects their minds and personalities, you better have a defense plan because most of them will come and take at any cost.

• People in the country typically have wells for water and fruit trees, vegetables and live stock for meat and milk, and most likely chickens and eggs and other sources of food. They usually have fishing and hunting skills and can trap or hunt deer, squirrels, rabbits, birds and other wild game. They usually have several dogs and animals on site that serve as the best security alarm and defense against intruders and thieves. Most importantly, they usually own rifles and handguns and know how to use them. And, solar energy is not new to our farmers.

A survival plan can range from doing nothing at all to doing everything you can for piece of mind, comfort and survival. Most people have no idea where to start and others would rather not think about it at all. This website is designed to educate people on the consequences of a long-term power outage or blackout and how survival planning will make a difference in how long and comfortable they might survive. Keep in mind that nobody is coming to your rescue.

This website also offers links to products on other websites all of which are products we use ourselves or recommend in planning and preparing for a long-term power outage or blackout. With our research and testing, we can share our experiences and opinions of what or which essential products and devices work the best for us with cost and quality in mind. You can use this website as a short-cut to finding products and devices that might work for you.

Notice on Amazon alone, thousands upon thousands of people are investing in solar panels and solar batteries, motion sensor alarms, security cameras, rechargeable batteries, emergency food, and other emergency supplies. Guns and ammunition sales is at a record high and solar systems sales are higher than ever before. There is a reason why people are investing in these products.

You should also notice that there is a lot of emphasis on solar energy and solar systems on this website. We are not solar nerds or clean air activists or fossil fuel haters. We just know that some form of continuous long-term energy is necessary to survive more comfortably in a local, national, or global catastrophe.

If or when our out-dated and over loaded country-wide power grid goes down or fails due to a malicious or cyber attack, we all go down because everything we do relies on electricity! You will be left in the dark unless you have your own reliable and independent power source, like an Interconnected Grid-Tied Solar System or Off-Grid Solar System or some other solar panel and battery type system.

Over the years, we have carefully studied and planned and even practiced everything we need to know and do to survive a long-term power outage with the least amount of discomfort. We created this website to share what we have learned to help others prepare for and survive a power outage too. What we do know:

• You Will Need Food And Water
  Without food and fresh drinking water, you will not survive more than a few days or weeks.
• You Will Need An Energy Source
  Without an energy source, all of your electrical dependent devices, appliances, and generators will stop working.
• You Will Need A Survival Plan
  Without a survival plan, you will suffer great discomfort and consequences and reduce your chance of survival.
• You Will Need A Defense Plan
  Without a defense plan, you will not be able to protect your family and emergency supplies from intruders and thieves.
