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 was going to say, jump on that horse you acquired post shtf or get on your bicycle, and go and bang on the door of the person you want to speak to! nearest village is 4 miles from here but there are hamlets closer than that.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
