Survive the End Days
words, he did it the old-fashioned way and I now realize that his wisdom made him a visionary.
My grandfather would often tell me how he managed to sell transmission devices to explorers and some journalists. The 2 nd World War was over and times were tough, but not only he would make an extra living out of this kind of work, but he’ d also spend his spare time learning and practicing a hobby. Every day we sat together for some time, surrounded by transistors, antennas, tools and wires, a place where challenges and possibilities seemed endless. I realized that radios were his passion. They soon became part of my life too.
My grandfather was a veteran of W. W. 2 and his stories about survival were what inspired both my father and me to always be prepared in any situation. When I was young I would listen to hours on end to his stories. The harsh conditions and the brutality of combat made a big impact on me, and in later years helped me better understand that these aspects are not exclusive to a war zone.
My grandfather’ s favorite radio was a GMRS. He improved such a device and one day he sold it to a young man. After he explained the man how the device functioned, he came close to me. I vividly remember him telling me that one day technology would evolve in such a way that humanity would totally depend on it.
I could only imagine what he said in terms of a world full of devices, most of which were radios. Little did I know back then that technology would run the risk of actually becoming dust in the wind in case of electromagnetic shock. Most present-day devices could not stand an EMP, simply because they are too sophisticated and because the increased number of electric circuits would be completely fried in case of an EMP attack.
