I’m not knocking the 21st century. We have it better than any generation in history. There are a lot of perks in today’s world that I would sorely miss. I’m responding to someone right now that’s 5 thousound miles away and it takes less than a second. People would have thought that sorcery a couple hundred years ago!I've lived without electricity, without fridges and freezers, and loved every minute of it, its more natural than this thing we call the 21st century.
No doubt, people today are too far removed from the basics of life. Most don’t know where the food in the grocery stores actually comes from. I had so many disgusted when I told them I ate the chickens and rabbits that I raised.i think that the more that people rely on technology the further they will fall when that technology is removed, like for instance an emp.
i'm using this laptop now, but post emp I would have other things more important than seeing what emails I had, use what we have to get to a place where we can function when that technology no longer works or is no longer available.
that figures, if you gave them a chicken or a rabbit to cook, one they would run away screaming and two they wouldn't know what to do with it, most people eat ready meals these days.No doubt, people today are too far removed from the basics of life.

I know I am capable of living without it, I would just prefer not to.I will have more important things to do post SHTF than worry about having electric to run electronic devices or whatever.
power has only been in british homes for less than 100 years-some a lot less than that, and my ancestors managed perfectly well without it, so will i.
why would it be missing ? its perfectly feasible to have hot water without having electricity.Hot water on demand for bathing and soaking would be sorely missed!
i was thinking more mid 18th century, a pre industrial lifestyle,maybe not hot RUNNING water but hot water would be available at all times. as for family, the only family I have is with me 24/7 i.e. the wife so no need of carrier pigeons, plenty of wood pigeons here though!!well,bigpaul,not all of us crave to live in the 1900's,sure you can manage,some even thrive,but it's quite nice to have hot running water and having the abilty
to connect with your family,without relying on carrier pigeons.
and if needed,having modern medicine at out disposal,with machines that say....ping...
ps.you should know from where that last sentence is
