Newspapers are already dead, thanks to technology, outside of human interaction what do we have left?

Good video! I keep thinking the kids are going to lose their minds when they can't have their heads in their phones.

100% agree with you, Modern Refugee. We can see the writing on the wall. It's happening.

Just a sneeze away at this point

I have TMobil, and lost connection with my phone for about an hour yesterday. I do home care and let my patient watch her programs, Bonanza, My Three Sons etc….she was so sad! So was I! She’s 81 and enjoys those so much. I pulled out a deck of cards and we went fishing..🤣😀♥️

They are getting people used to it being out now so that they won't assume anything bad is happening. They'll not be alerted unless it's face to face and that will face a lot of disbelief. It's the old , make the dog bark until they tell the dog to shut up, or set off the alarm repeatedly until they turn it off and then rob the place act. Glad you brought it up. Good to have reminders

Knowing local bartenders or church goers are great sources of word of mouth information.

Remove the communications, and the element of surprise becomes infinitely more effective. I believe you are totally correct that communications will be the first casualty and the rest gets clipped from behind immediately following. No way to be standing at the ready if you have no heads-up what's coming your way.

Any time the power goes out, I immediately check for phone service... It pays to be a good listener! Thanks MR 😊👍

That will be hard…not to be able to communicate with family.

News of the World starring Ton Hanks. First thing I thought of when you were speaking of communication being cut. History repeats.

Fyi atlanta had several main water lines breaks that not only affected restaurants and neighbors but also our main hospital . Good information sir keep the flow coming!👍🏿💯

Might I suggest that more people explore their options with HAM radio? It is a ground level resource with large numbers of participants. Equipment costs can be downright reasonable, and you can go as far as you want with it. Something to consider...

Truth!

so true and with all the false crap being thrown at us... eye witness and real life reporting is a must great video thanks again Sir!!

I remember when Phantom Menace came out. I was maybe 13 or so (quite sheltered) and thought it was smart of them to jam the communications. I know a lot of people didn't like the prequels, and many still don't, but I always liked them. Looking back, boy oh boy the foreshadowing (aka predictive programming)......

I am not someone who’s connected at the hip to my phone. But a couple months ago I was without my phone for just a few days and with having my internet connection also coming through my phone I was internetless. I thought no big deal. But wow did I find out just how hard it is to accomplish things without internet now that I no longer have a phone book, newspapers, maps, etc. I guess it’s along the same lines as shutting off your electricity for a week to see if you are as prepared as you think you are for a grid down. Or use only stored water for a week if you think you have plenty stored. The idea of surviving a SHTF is much easier than the actuality.

Very true MR!

My husband has been trying to come up with a way that we could communicate with our son in Cali as we live in NYS.. Ham radio

It might take a few days for the panic to set in, but once the power goes off and no one knows when or if it'll come back on things will start to get interesting. I suspect they'd have to impose martial law in a situation like that because the major cities would explode.

Really good advice. I'm going to share that with my family, because there are ways to gather information face-to-face, or through locally produced newsletters, etc., that provide a way to work around communication disruptions that might happen if we are attacked.

Went to ATM at bank location to withdraw. Invalid Pin. Ok. Tried ATM at a chain store. Invalid PIN. Wife tried her card (same bank, completely separate account). Invalid PIN. Woman behind could not make transactions; didn't ask what bank she used. Return to bank, more Invalid. Teller insists it's a problem on our end. Make withdrawal at teller window. Help desk says, "I see no problems". No problems, but neither accounts can be accessed at ATM. Okay...

I prefer word of mouth myself, especially face to face. It's odd, though, how many people get annoyed when I ask for suggestions or recommendations. You'd think in a world where people can't get enough of spouting their opinions on every little thing, they wouldn't say in an irritated voice to "just look it up." I'd asked my 69-year-old neighbor his favorite way to cook rabbit the other day and he told me to go online. SMH. This happens to me all the time. And maybe it's them trying to get me to do things for myself (if they knew me, they'd know I've spent my whole life doing just that...including something as simple as tying my shoes...no one taught me), but for Pete's sake...is it really so much to ask for your opinion/account of experience and 2 minutes of your time?? Especially when no one was born knowing anything so at some point, they had questions too... Rant over. Sorry lol But this is a big part of why I'm subbed here. You are calm and kind in your approach to teaching people how to do things. I appreciate it. PS- in case anyone is wondering, I made half the rabbit (not half OF A rabbit...there was 1.5-2 in the bag I had) in the slow cooker with some veggies and homemade gravy and the other half got deep fried. Delicious both ways 😊

👍👍👍👍

So true

Having a cup with you , thanks for sharing YAH bless brother !

I had not thought about the potential importance of local papers before if the internet goes down. It has me thinking that potentially your local Church bulletin might become a de facto mini newspaper in SHTF.

Good points.👍. We'd love to get out of coastal Florida but I can't get this house ready by myself. Might need to get a relative to visit. 😄

Thanks Modern

Another stellar video!

I'm telling you, this is WHY I live the way I do: as dropped out as possible and ready to be cut-off completely. My husband had to tell me there was a war in Israel months ago. we don't have TV, I don't read newspapers, I have never had a cell phone, I had NO idea there was a cellular interruption. I'm watching this 2 weeks after you posted it. My husband does watch news on internet and keeps up, but I never have any idea at all what's going on. Guess what? When it happens, I'll hear about it, from people. Meantime, I'm going to keep needing less and less from the world so it will be easy to have nothing and be fine. People are trapped by all these conveniences and push-button world and smart things, tech, and too much information, too fast, and ALL the time. That's no way to live. They'll kill you all with the cortisol rushes you get every time you hear "something important" that gets your nervous system on alert again and again and again all day long, every day. Throw out the stupid phones. You'll be happier and healthier.

Great vid and thank you for the info. Have heard that it might be well advised to set up meeting places on certain days/times/certain locations to check on family,etc, bring info, pertinent supplies if needed to exchange. Havent got wlkie talkies,ham radios,cb radios and dont know how effective those would be in certain scenarios. What are thoughts or effectiveness of certain systems? Yes, there will probably be chaos or possibly m. Law so caution is advisable no matter what. God bless you and everyone..

Thank you sir. Great information as always agree 100%, Have a blessed day.

My cell phone kept alerting me that it was "unable to establish a data connection". Having no clue what that was...I ended up rebooting the phone and it stopped. Maybe that was related to the outage.

Right on the mark!

Did you watch the tv series called jerico!

Doing what I can with what I got brother.💪🇺🇸💪🦉💪🦫
