    Izzy, I'll play chess with you. Also, even if the grid is down, and the internet is a fond memory, I will still have my iPad and kindle going for a while, charged up by my Solio solar powered chargers, and also the solar powered battery chargers for AA & AAA batteries with plenty of extra rechargeable battery's. I believe rechargeable batteries will be high on the batter chart. There are people now in 3rd world Countries making a living (not the best living, but it puts food on the table) selling time on their solar chargers, mostly to charge others cell phones.

    I also have a solar charger, so will have some electronics for awhile.
    I can play chess, checkers, various card games.

    We turned the regular tv off about 5 yrs ago, all we got now is Netflix. Won't miss tv.

    I think I will miss music the most.

    But first, we'll watch the city folks shoot each other. Be glad we're not involved.
    Try to stay not involved.

    Awesome. I have always wanted to learn, never have. Can't play any instrument, can't sing, but I do love music.

    I have made provision to continue on as it were. I might miss the internet, but barring some kind of emp, I can still watch dvds and such. I have a large selection of card games and many decks of regular cards. I have an old laptop insulated away inside an ammo can, inside a metal filing cabinet, along with an inverter, battery charger etc, in case the emp comes, but I suspect it won't, and I suspect if it does, the power grid and transmitters and receivers might be affected, but I think my stored away basic electronics will be fine... but with no internet, power, or broadcasts, I suppose eventually the same movies might get old.

    I think people will talk to each other more, maybe have some street dances, baseball at the park, all of this when its not planting or harvest season of course.

    I can definitely see this happening.
    Also hear lots of instruments getting used. Post SHTF would be a good as time as any to learn and play an instrument.

    Does two sets of drums count ? Haven't touched them in about 10 years.

    Maybe if you want to simulate mortar rounds going off for the hell of it?

    I can do that ; I'll even throw in some native American drum solos to which you can either dance the night away or prep for battle. Or both.
