Two weeks and then death. No electricity -> no pumps -> no water. Very bad for cities.
If you happen to live close to a natural water source, then no electricity -> no gas pumps -> no transportation network, no way to deliver food, almost everyone starves.
Farms would be overrun by locust like swarms of people searching for food, which would put a crimp in long term survival.
Etc..

I don't think you can breed horses fast enough to use as a food supply. And what do the horses eat?

i'd just take what i needed from others through theft, deceit, death and manipulation. this is not in anyway how i would behave in a normal scheme of things. and the thought of being forced to do so causes me some bit of anxiety. but, i also know in my heart, that in a survival situation i can see myself doing any and all sort of filthy, underhanded, slutty or lethal deed to continue living another day.
i enjoy being alive and am in rush to see it end, no matter how dire circumstances may seem. lol |

As long as I want. I never needed power to begin with. As for society, (civilization as we know it I assume), coming to a grinding halt, standstill, back tracking to the dark ages or whatever.. I'd get over it.

I admit, I'd probably miss my computer for coming here and chatting with everyone, and watching the New Eden Cluster grow and change in the hearts and minds of players and Devs alike, but I'm certain more prevalent things would keep my mind off it.
I've lived without power and water before, for weeks, and even lived without transportation or shelter aside from that I could walk and find it under trees, or if I happened to have a tent I could use that. I've climbed mountain, hiked trails, and am familiar enough with the hazards of nature.
In contrast, I have walked through some places one might call 'gangland', given money to the poor, talked to homeless and drug addicts on the streets, traveled alone in dangerous territory, and met unwelcome strangers in dark places.
Human beings are adaptable, if they are willing to be. We're also made to survive in the most adverse of conditions, and sometimes against all odds. Sure, we have our limitations, and they may be exceeded, but until then we are capable of anything. zubzubzubzubzubzubzubzub |

I would head toward the forest the city would be the first to become anarchy. I have hunted for over 10 years now. I am good at shooting a bow and arrow. I have about 3 boxes of ammo for my SKS, I have 30 Arrow for my 60 Lbs bow. If there is no chemical i feel that i would be able to defend myself and anyone that would like to come with me. I am a great hunter i usually have about 40 lbs of deer meat, rabbit meat and turkey in my freezer. I am not a apocalypse nut juts like to hunt. So i don't know. If i don't get hurt on the way out of the city maybe a go long time. |

Something tells me the bush won, hands down.
I would be surprised if me and my family lasted 7 days before we started doing what we needed to survive. Surrender is still your slightly less painful option. |

you know what's funny about this thread...it's that until, relatively speaking, very recently...we all lived without a power grid lol. i'm sure we could do it again. get back to boiling water and cooking everything over a fire in our modern day equivalents of log cabins. |

Well Whole house is on electric and I got 4 acres of trees and some food stocked up.
Bit of snow and civilization erm electric was cut off for 2 days solid a couple days back. Probably something to do with them freaks south of me in califruitloopsville.
Cranked open the generator (plenty of fuel on hand) for life necessities...powered dildos, fridge freezer and ps3, water pump etc. Got the wood stove a stoving and butane powered cooking stove...hmm love that carbon monoxide !
Certainly pays to have a few things at hand in case of emergency and that includes firearms and adequate supply of ammunition in case the obama phone crew quite literally come a calling. In fact they could be easily mistaken for zombies with all that obama chanting and gimme gimme gimme.

Probably quite well weather wise. It very rarely snows here and the weather is usually mild in winter but scorching in summer. So tents would take care of living conditions.
The biggest issue would be water, the eastern mediterranean doent have the biggest water reserves known to man.
Food, in terms of game etc is also an issue but vegetables etc are abundant.
So if i managed to survive the massive war that would happen then it should not be too hard. But then again things can always get worse. "I think you should buy a new Mayan calendar. Mine has muscle cars on it." --áKenneth O'Hara

Our emergency disaster survival plan....
1. stockpile firearms and munitions 2. train family members in their proper use and maintenance 3. locate and identify people with stockpiles of supplies, but low ability of defense 4. become marauders 5. loot, ****, pillage till either dead or warlords Surrender is still your slightly less painful option. |
