I've got some of the one man and two man crosscut saws. They will make you want to THINK ABOUT doing some relaxing yoga if you use them very much. (You know so as to get back into yourself)
Chainsaws after an EMP

I keep a few 30" bow saws and some extra blades on hand as well as a hand water pump that could be installed to replace the electric one using hand tools. And a small generator that will run to keep the fridge and freezer cold on a gallon a day or less. Maybe long enough to dry some of the food in the freezer. And, of course, some firearms. Just sayin'
They have run simulations of nuclear war, wich causes emp discharges. Nun will survive so the point of worry is mute.
There has been R&D into weapons exclusively for EMP, not ground damage.
The 1962 Starfish Prime test by the US damaged phone lines and microwave transmitters 900 miles away in Hawaii. Charged particles from the test remained trapped in the ionosphere, damaging satellites for five years afterwards(!).
The Soviets also tested EMP weapons in 1962 with the Project K test. The EMP destroyed hundreds of miles of power and telephone cables and set the local power plant on fire.
Keep in mind this was at a time with no micro circuitry and very few transistorized circuits.

I don't buy the whole "nobody will survive nuclear war" Chicken Little BS. That's propaganda cooked up by our potential adversaries in Moscow, Pyongyang and Beijing ("Resistance is futile so don't even think about trying to intimidate us!") and by their silly little "useful *****" helpers in the global disarmament lobby ("We have a thousand times more bombs than we need to destroy teh Universe, so let's scrap 99.9% of them!!!1!1!!1!")...whom they covertly and lavishly fund through their intelligence services, by the way...
Plenty of people would survive. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that "most" would survive.
I suspect it would take 100 if not 10,000 times as many warheads as there are on the planet right now to kill even "most" of all humans. The Earth is a big place, and I don't think humans are as fragile ("We're all gonna diiiiiiiiiiie!") or as all-powerful ("It's gonna set the atmosphere on fire and then consume the Universe...I am become Shiva, destroyer of worlds...") as some would have us believe...
If you even believe the usa has 1/4 of the nukes we claim to have, it would be game over for life on earth. Let alone what the rest of the world has. Chances of everyone launching nukes is pretty much zero, so really nothing to worry about at any rate.
What are going to eat in the 3-5 years of continuous winter…….not to mention all the radiation. So no not everyone will instantly be vaporized. But everything in the big city’s will be. The rest will die slowly
Here is a pretty cool map if you want to see how your area would be affected by fallout.
Stihl advertised the shelf life as 10 years when the product was first released. I'm not sure what is being advertised currently on the can, but my Stihl rep said they are now saying it's good for 20+ years.
He's full of crap.

Bro....hahahahahahahahahahaha
How do you tell if the oil is no good?
supposedly Dino oil has a roughly 5 year shelf life and synthetic is 7-8 years. It breaks down over time just like fuel, jut not typically as fast. In a pinch, since we're talking worlds end here you'll run out of a usable fuel source before you'll have to worry about oil in a can being bad.
I agree but about the shelf life. How do you tell if an oil is no good?
Guys voice is annoying as nails on a chalkboard, but it's a decent video if you can get past that.
Been there and got the divorce
and keep a pile of spare condensers around....
no kidding. me too which is why i laughed
wow, you are not kidding but a good video. I've run across him before on youtube and could only take so much
He's a smart guy, and formulates and tests oil as his job, but yeah. Hard to watch an entire video.
