What would happen if an electromagnetic pulse suddenly wiped out the power grid and thrust modern society back to the 1800s? In this eye-opening episode of Ready Your Future podcast, Todd dives deep into EMP survival scenarios that every prepper should understand, even though they fall into the "possible but not probable" category. Drawing from extensive research including the Congressional EMP Commission reports and Department of Homeland Security studies, this episode breaks down the three devastating pulse phases (E1, E2, and E3) that would create cascading failures across all critical infrastructure when the grid goes down.

While EMPs may not be the most likely threat preppers face, understanding grid collapse scenarios helps build universal preparedness skills that apply to more probable emergencies like natural disasters and extended power outages. Todd explores the harsh realities of what families would experience in the first 24 hours, weeks, and months following an EMP attack, emphasizing why community building and local resilience matter more than individual stockpiles. Whether you're new to prepping or a seasoned survivalist, this episode will challenge your assumptions about long-term grid-down scenarios while keeping you grounded in practical preparedness priorities. Don't miss the discussion on why probability versus possibility thinking is crucial for effective EMP survival planning.
