If the power was out for a period of months, if the internet, cable tv, phones, and all electronic communication were down so on day 2, you only knew that the power was out and you couldn't reach anybody, what would you need to do to survive?
Wait it out seems somewhat optimistic. No refrigeration means any fresh food would spoil pretty quickly. Better hope that garden can be scaled up.
Clean water would become an issue first though. I don't know where the nearest lake or stream is. Though I imagine several days away on foot.
Assuming you made it that long protection would become an issue. You'd want to be sure you had good relationships with your with your neighbors.
It really doesn't take much to get pretty far down the doomsdayer path I guess.
Lesson learned... optimize for happiness everyday.

- nextw33k 12y agoYou are so right, it amazes me that people are focusing on getting guns rather than teaching people to dig a well (few days effort, less if others are helping) or plant crops. Has Minecraft taught this generation nothing? ;-)
- TeMPOraL 12y ago> what would you need to do to survive? Guns. Lots of guns. After the fresh food and water runs out in cities, you'll have masses of people abandoning urban areas in desperate hope to find food. Any settlement nearby will be pillaged. So if you have a garden, better be prepared to defend it.
