Yeah, I'm talking more about the way people conduct themselves vs. technology available. It takes surprisingly little for folks to go all "lord of the flies".

A week or 2 with no food, water and fuel. Thats when we will see the begining of shtf. I agree with you 100%!
I've got enough wood for a winter, enough food for 3 months, and enough beer for a year.....
Kids would be pretty whiny without the TV and the Internet, but I think I would be ok.

Oh you think so eh? Ponder this for a minute..........no ODT.
Oh NO! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!.
To the gents with full freezers. Smoke the meat to save it. A cheap azz smoker becomes a survival item. A closet sized one is not tough nor expensive to make outside. Get it smoked and back in the house before the hoards smell it on the wind, you'll draw them in like flies.
Here at the house, once in a while, the wife and I just cut off the juice. It's amazing how much calmer we both feel immediately. A fire, a couple of alladin mantle lamps and just 2 or 3 of those liquid paraffin candles and we really enjoy it.

You guys should really read into how "The Grid" works. Even if they were able to disrupt the interconnections, they can't just go in and wholesale shut down power plants.
The best analogy I can think of is the road system. Think of the power grid like roads. The main highways allow for the big plants to send their excess power (whatever isn't needed locally), to places where the demand is high, but if the interstate is shut down, there are still multiple "local roads" that can be used to deliver the goods.
Yes, there would be some localized black and brown-outs in large cities and very rural areas, but not a "Blasted into the Stone Age" type scenario. You can thank First Energy for that. There were a lot of changes that were made after the NorthEast blackout in 2003.

10,000 22lr for a 6 pack.
My question is, why would China want to shut off the power in the US? We are their biggest customer.
