in a world without electricity

[Canadian-guerilla]

what would you miss the most ?



for myself, my electric shaver

[Rick]

Lights. Driving at night would be a whole new experience.

[Justin Case]

"The Most"? Thats a hard question, I guess electric light, Its nice to just flip a switch.

[Asger]

Music, i believe.

[BENESSE]

.....TV.....

[crashdive123]

Air conditioning.

[Pal334]

Electric coffee pot (to me is not the same when made over a fire)

[Sourdough]

"FOOD"......There would be no food with out electricity, no food processing plants, no trucking or trains or distribution, no stores, no access to money, banks won't open & they have no paper records, only computer. And the food in your refigerator/freezed would spoil in a week. But there is always lots of sex when the power is out.

I would miss hot showers. You can still get hot water without electricity, and even a hot shower if you are clever. But nothing is quite the same as being able to turn a knob and have hot water in an instant.

I wouldn't particularly miss TV or movies - the book is usually better (especially THE Book, imo.) I would miss the internet, though. Where else could I find all the "wisdom" that is shared on this site?

I think the hot water for the showers would be the big one for me and also the heat in the winter time. I don't use the refridgerator and the AC I can live without. I do eat a lot of fast-foods so that could be a problem food-wise for me. TV and radio I can do without. Transportation would be a problem also if we're talking about all forms of electric and not just the power grid.

Maybe you need to get rid of all that power then.

There's a really, really bad joke there that I'm just gonna let slide. Sometimes it's just too easy.

I can think of several responses...but restraint won out.

Hey there Kevinrose. How about stopping by the Introduction section and tell us a bit about yourself. We'll leave the lights on. Thanks. http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...splay.php?f=14

My fridge, then my computer. Lights would be third. My swamp cooler comes in handy during the summer. We have an electric stove and oven, but I can work around that.

[Sourdough]

The natural Gas, the Water are all pumped to your house, Cold Showers won't a problem with no water. No pumps at the gas station.

Unless you are a Lineman.

Glad I have retired and became a Dam Electrician. Now I just produce the electricity. Still not home often enough for the sex part though.

As far as what I would miss. I am caught between lights and the internet. I do enjoy both.

[backtobasics]

I'm thinking the computer and running water.

I lived w/o electricity for years. I can tell you exactly what I missed the most.

!!! ICE !!!
