Post TU Comms / Groups and Villages

[BeardyMan]

Small village scenario you don't need comms, you need runners. Children are good for this. Well trained ones anyway.

People seem to think of comms as electronic forms of communication. You could use flags, flashes from torches (as at least 2 or 3 people are always going to be awake keeping an eye out), runners, smoke, sounds (non-amplified), tins cans and string, combat carrier pigeons etc etc.

I wouldn't worry about setting up field phones just yet, not matter how nice those bakerlight cases they come in are. If you can find 'em at a decent price (I can pick up a pair for £30 + VAT and delivery) then I'd certainly go that route. I do want a couple, but trying to think when and where they'd ever get used PSHTF and I don't see a need for them in my preps. Although I could run the line to the pub I suppose?
