Walk down the streets with my arms in front of me chanting, "Braaaiiiinnnnnssss!"

Having lived aboard sailboats, off the grid, for over 20 years, I would continue to read, fish, harvest, play with the dog and make love with the wife.

Unless driving, the RV is 90% self supporting. Solar battery charging plus3 winter months worth of heating and cooking on the internal propane.

Best thing would be the wife's 35yo manchild not being able to call and beg for money.

Roll a fag (that means make a cigarette, it doesn't translate very well into American ) ponder life's broader aspects, go to bed.

I'd enjoy the peace and quiet for however long the grid is down. And because my job requires the internet, I will take the opportunity to be unemployed and seek out other options.

I'm already on a team. I am in charge of food (acquiring/growing - mainly because I am Vegan and have knowledge gardening etc. ) and Pyrotechnics (blowing shit up - mainly because I can!)

My best buddy for 38 years is the team leader. He's an expert in firearms and a sensible prepper. He has quite the stockpile of weapons ammunition and food.

Listen on my ham radio for updates. I'm rural, so my generator runs the entire house. I have a small solar cell phone charger.

You'd have to quantify the extent of nuclear war before I could comment.

I actually did live off-grid for a while and learned quite a bit about finding food, lighting fires, building shelters and so on. So, I'd be alright for four or five hours - until I sat down in my all-natural-materials hut with a nice plate of pignuts and bullrush roots and realised that no power grid would also mean... NO AGNOSTIC.COM!!! Argh!

Hope it isn't summer because if it is I'll really be kicking myself over not fixing the generator. If it is, get out there and fix the generator.

I have enough camping gear to manage inthe short term. The first priority would to be checking on nearby relatives and making sure they're safe. My mom, specifically. Fortunately, my family all live within a 30 mile perimeter.

What is a cell phone? =0}

Look for a place to volunteer and work on restoring it.

Go up and down the street talking to my neighbors. Everyone needs skills and/or stuff they don't have, and has skills and/or stuff they don't need. We'd all do better together.

If no one wanted to play nice, at least I'd figure out who the trigger-happy grumps are...

I have solar heat and electric and 12000 gallons of water stored, an old wood stove and plenty of wood. I might not have enough food stocked but I need to lose some weight anyway

Pray to Jesus to bring the power back.
That works, right?

Which power grid and how far reaching is the loss?
I want specifics before I act LOL. Until then, I do not like ice in my whiskey, so I'm good.

I have a large stock of various sizes of flashlights, enough food for several weeks, a garden if it's summer, a small generator that will charge my cell phone, my HAM radio for updates (I live in a small, rural town). I've been trained in disaster response and mitigation for about 20 years.

Happened to me during march 2nd blizzard. There was enough light during the day through the windows and at night used candles and flashlights with rechargable batteries that I keep fully charged I was lucky I was only down 14 hours. I work in a hospital and we are expecting a baby boom in early november.

I live on the Oregon coast and we live with the constant threat of a tsunami. They say it could be months before we get help because it's so rural (even though our town is about 10,000). All the bridges would be gone so there's no getting in or out. I refuse to live in the tsunami zone so that is my first line of defense. I really should make a go bag to put in my car, but have been lazy and cheap. I have stored water and have skills in identifying edible plants, seaweeds, and animals, and food to last a few weeks at least so I think I'd be ok for a while. The city and county are really working on getting people to prepare so I think we would all band together. It's crazy to think about though. Especially when you walk on the beach and are thinking "how quickly could I get to safety if there was an earthquake?" We'd have about 15 min max.

Buy a petrol generator to charge up my cell phone.

Throw on my backpack and not worry about being fined for being in certain national forests, and just go....

I would gather my collections of stuff that worked before electricity. I would find other neighbors and form a survival group. we could set up a small power grid with sun or wind or water, or worst case good old manpower. I think everyone should have to take a year in survival in high school where they actually camp and fish, cook outdoors. Advanced students would be taught to hunt. No cell phones allowed. Everyone should be prepared for anything to the best of their capacity to "get it". They would also need to be taught a few crafts so somenone can make the things people need. It takes a village to survive without our current luxeries.

How does one keep water clean & fresh? Keep it out of the sun & sealed? Check. Anything else?

have flashlight on table with me. Worst comes to pass I can charge my phone in my car. My roommate thinks I should get a generator.
