Will tech really die?

Well it's a good job that as preppers we're developing the knowledge, right? I mean, that is the plan isn't it? Knowledge of how to survive or how to survive and thrive?

If there is a major die off, I'm not going to be worried about food. Everyone says the die off will be over and done in the first 90 days. So I'm not concerned. With over a year's worth of food, I will have plenty of time free to not worry about getting food stores in place (although I can happily go out and add to what I already have). After any major die off, I'll be jacking a few cars for components and building my own electricity generating system to add to a wood gas system. Presto, we'll have fridges and freezers. Don't forget the solar panels we'll be acquiring. Oh and the network and relationships we have with our neighbours, that'll help for security. Feeding them will be easy enough. Will teach a couple of people to set snares and the alike, and we'll be able to feed a lot of people without letting them know we have stores.

With the electricity systems we set up, we'll be able to start building stuff for the community as a whole, namely our street. We all get along well, and there's a few shooters on the road, so security will be good. Right on the edge of farm land, so that's a good help. "Any carpenter friends or electrician or mechanic friends around my dear neighbour?"…"YES?!?! Well bring them along!" And suddenly we're rebuilding. Catch a few rabbits, get them breeding, that becomes a major food supplement.

But we'll have the people and resources to build up a system to help ourselves. That system will include electricity, water wheels, solar, and the alike. Hell, we'll be using things like camping gas, and BBQ's to cook on. But we'll be able to survive and do well.
