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 .
