Yes all of us are to dependent on hi tech things, all my life prepping one of the things that i have prepped for is a world without power, yes i have electric drills etc but the basis of my tool kits are hand powered ie brace and bits.
I have batteries and a means of making electricity but i dont count on that because a some stage this will go wrong and not be repairable. One of the only things i will miss will be talking to you guys here.

yes, one of the things i have been trying to do is acquire some basic hand tools as, like you, i am preparing for a world without power, thats why i talk a lot about donkeys and carts, i get laughed at by NR-i know he dosent mean it!-but i envisage a period when all people will be living a lifestyle similar to the Amish.
