i wonder if our financial system was to get so bad would power and communications ie. telephone or internet be interupted.. just a thought

I can remember a life without television, computers and video games. All we had was a rotary dial phone and a radio. My grandparents didn't have electricity until the late 1960s. They ran their own dairy farm. (Granted it grew by leaps and bounds as soon as Granpa got that newfangled milking machine -- which was right after he got the barn wired for "electric".) It wasn't that bad.

The internet runs itself so as long as you have power to be on your computer you will be able to access the web. Maybe stockpile laptop batteries?

I don't worry about it much and for those who say they are going to ride it out I think recovery from a financial collapse may easily take years. Only the hard core foilists have that kind of stockpile I'd guess.

My plan is to hole up in my house to wait for the first wave of insanity to die off until people start to realize their situation and attempt rational thought about what they are going to do. Then I will head out and form a small group with friends on their land that is much more remote than my domicile. I am thinking the more remote the better.

You do realize no electricity equals no cable internet or phone lines for dsl. That means no internet.

My plan is to run down the street in nothing but tightey whities yelling, "The end is near the end is near." WHen I run out of breath(approximately at the end of my driveway) I'll go back in and put clothes on.

After that, well I can't say much. You might pick up on my bunker location.

With no main power coming in, the phone lines still carry 48VDC on hook and 5-6VDC off hook. Thus, dial-up could still function if the network hubs were still operational.

I am doing the same except my band will called Winnie the poo which is the name of a bear! A fierce bear!
It's sweet putting honey in your bands name.
