Eek! DH would be out of a job, and my job would change tremendously, but our home lives would be fine...less stressful too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-society-lost-all-electricity-ala-revolution-would-your-so-be-useful-how-about-you#post-646303 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 07:24:05 +0000 anonysquire 646303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband would rock it and I'd be in full on panic mode. Typical us though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-society-lost-all-electricity-ala-revolution-would-your-so-be-useful-how-about-you#post-646288 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 07:01:25 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 646288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be useless, except I can build a fire without matches thanks to Girl Scouts.</p> <p>DH...hmm he could protect us, but the man is not handy, so we would need to make friends quick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-society-lost-all-electricity-ala-revolution-would-your-so-be-useful-how-about-you#post-646282 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 06:38:10 +0000 avivoca 646282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. He grew up camping, hunting, and growing things, so I think he would do okay. He's a biologist, so he has a good knowledge of what's edible and what will kill you. I think I would adapt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-society-lost-all-electricity-ala-revolution-would-your-so-be-useful-how-about-you#post-646280 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 06:31:58 +0000 BananaPancakes 646280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Ha awesome. We'd have to share anyways, or have my grandma teach me how to preserve meat without refrigeration. She lived like this in old Florida when she was a child. No running water, electricity and all food grown or hunted. she loved it. </p> <p>@Mrs. Jacks: We totally discuss all sorts of situations we'd have to survive. We always talk about how we've got it better than most of the country because of the huge drinkable water supply in our area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-society-lost-all-electricity-ala-revolution-would-your-so-be-useful-how-about-you#post-645943 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 21:11:24 +0000 Springtime 645943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH would be awesome! Not me though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-society-lost-all-electricity-ala-revolution-would-your-so-be-useful-how-about-you#post-645939 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 21:10:21 +0000 regberadaisy 645939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely. He can use a bow &amp; arrow, he can start a fire wo flint. He has a solar powered emergency radio etc. He also has many man deadly knives....some military issued. So protection w/o ammo is not an issue.</p> <p>Then we'll go find @bree72: to bum off her husband's hunting. Haha But in all seriousness he will hunt if it means providing for our family.<br /> Me? Yea I can survive w/o technology, I think.</p> <p>@Mrs. Jacks: oh we are so beyond "pretend" prepare for an apocalypse.....sigh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-society-lost-all-electricity-ala-revolution-would-your-so-be-useful-how-about-you#post-645937 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 21:09:38 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 645937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My skills would be highly marketable and SO is able to survive in the wilderness, capture animals, build and grow things... so I feel very comfortable that we could survive the zombie apocalypse ;) (which is the catastrophe that Mr. Jacks likes to pretend to prepare for) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-society-lost-all-electricity-ala-revolution-would-your-so-be-useful-how-about-you#post-645925 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 21:06:06 +0000 JamieLee 645925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hubby is a builder and hunts and fishes, and rarely uses the computer (except to play Words with Friends). I think he'd be handy.,me however...I'm a graphic designer and on the computer all day...</p> <p>We did a pretty good job when we lost power for a week last March. We played card games by lantern light... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-society-lost-all-electricity-ala-revolution-would-your-so-be-useful-how-about-you#post-645906 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:58:41 +0000 Arden 645906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We would be awesome. We've both spent most of our adult lives in countries with sporadic electricity and we know quite well how to get along without it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-society-lost-all-electricity-ala-revolution-would-your-so-be-useful-how-about-you#post-645886 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:51:32 +0000 chopsuey 645886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel confident that DH would protect us. I'd be miserable, but would quickly adapt I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-society-lost-all-electricity-ala-revolution-would-your-so-be-useful-how-about-you#post-645860 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:38:41 +0000 heffalump 645860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh works in computers so wed be in some trouble. Maybe wed finally get to move to fort wilderness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-society-lost-all-electricity-ala-revolution-would-your-so-be-useful-how-about-you#post-645855 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:36:42 +0000 MrsTiz 645855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH would be excellent in a situation like this. We love that show and I think he secretly wants that to happen haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-society-lost-all-electricity-ala-revolution-would-your-so-be-useful-how-about-you#post-645849 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:34:07 +0000 derevival 645849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck no. We would have to go live with my brother and wife since they are both cops and could protect us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-society-lost-all-electricity-ala-revolution-would-your-so-be-useful-how-about-you#post-645847 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:32:57 +0000 BananaPancakes 645847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'd be awesome. We could absolutely live like pioneers if we had to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-society-lost-all-electricity-ala-revolution-would-your-so-be-useful-how-about-you#post-645844 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:31:27 +0000 KissMeCait 645844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We would absolutely crumble. We lost power for a few days a couple years ago and we checked into a hotel. We're spoiled with our hot showers, high speed internet and premium cable. </p> <p>In all reality, I think we'd probably be okay if we relied on my in laws for survival. My FIL is incredibly resourceful when it comes to living off the grid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-society-lost-all-electricity-ala-revolution-would-your-so-be-useful-how-about-you#post-645838 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:28:00 +0000 marionberry 645838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH was a trauma nurse, so he'd definitely be helpful from a medical standpoint and he won shooting competitions as a kid, so he could hunt. I'm a good leader and work in strategy, so I think I'd be good at making plans and decisions. But living outside, in the dark, and making stuff ourselves...not so sure we'd do well at that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-society-lost-all-electricity-ala-revolution-would-your-so-be-useful-how-about-you#post-645831 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:26:27 +0000 Andrea 645831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were both good - but miserable - for a week when we didn't have any. It truly sucked though!!! Why even live if it was gone forever? Kidding, kinda. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-society-lost-all-electricity-ala-revolution-would-your-so-be-useful-how-about-you#post-645822 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:22:48 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 645822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No...just..no. I don't even want to imagine haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-society-lost-all-electricity-ala-revolution-would-your-so-be-useful-how-about-you#post-645806 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:07:00 +0000 mrbee 645806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If society lost all electricity ala <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution_(TV_series)">Revolution</a>, would your SO be useful? How about you?</p> <p>I think Mrs. Bee and I would struggle to adapt, as a lot of our life revolves around the internet. So we would struggle at first, but we'd probably eventually start a barter business and do ok.</p> <p>If society lost all electricity ala Revolution, would your SO be useful? How about you? </p>
