+1... thanks for pointing it out. I never noticed it before, but it was well worth reading!

Fine until somebody comes alone and thinks in terms of "we".
Families andTribes survive, individual don't.
Having actually lived in an environment where there was no electricity you quickly find out that you never really need a flashlight, they are just nice to have once in a while. You get up when it gets light and you go to bed when it gets dark.

Yes. It's also true that when things start turning to crap on a systemic scale enough changes in your environment that your new routines may become unrecognizable when compared to your old ones. Just one example would be that depending on what climate you live in and the state of your health you may find that doing chores in the daytime in the extreme heat after the power (and thus air conditioning) is off is impossible....The difference is you could go to bed and not worry. In a apocalypse you have to be able to see in the dark because you aren't guaranteed a safe night knowing you will wake up...
Lol, same here.Anyway, I'd probably grab a beer
Lol, same here.
I'd stock up good cigars, some very old single malt,
nice food and batteries.
Then I will sit on my balcony and watch the show.
Recession, Depression, War or Apocaplypse -- cigarettes and liquor will always have value...I might stock up on cigarettes and beer. Neither my wife nor I smoke or drink, but it seems like 99.9% of the rest of the population drinks and at least a third smoke. Powerful barter items.

You won't even be left with those. The bad news is EMP from a nuclear blast fries pretty much anything electrically connected to the grid, including incandescents. The good news is you can store things in a metal safe or cabinet for protection from EMP. Anything with a metal case not connected to the grid will probably come out OK also, as well as stuff deep underground (i.e. in sub-basements or lower). My guess is lots of electronics will survive an EMP.We may be left with only direct drive incandescents. Just my 2 cents.:shrug:
