I think I would miss luxury the most. Right now I can drive around, talk to people on my phone, surf the internet, fly places, watch TV, use AC, drink water when I want and not worry about wasting it, etc. I have most of my electricity taken care of, am working on my food storage, am always working on my weapons, etc but if things really fell apart we would have to work a lot harder for everything and therefore have a lot less time to do enjoyable things. I am not a trust fund baby or anything so its not like I dont have to work right now but the way life is and the way it could be is light years apart.

All that being said life can still be good seeing as how humans seemed to get by fine before electricity or most of the other luxuries we take for granted these days.

Running water, electricity, trash collection, and modern medicine.

security of being safe most of the time
the idea of my kids get sick I can run them into the docs
electricity of course
communicating with friends who do not live near me
so many things I take for granted everyday


now I can say I spent 6 months living off the land out of a tent and they were some of the best times in my life but I was single no kids !
I never worried about current events and news !
I never missed TV I spent so much time hunting fishing and living
being from the islands the hot and cold was never a problem living in some places on the mainland that could be really serious though
I did not miss worrying about paying bills no electricity to pay no phone to pay etc.. was nice worry free in some senses

Nate- Fabric softener? Fabric softener?

[larry0071]

Hot showers.
COPENHAGEN! I am seriously addicted!
Fresh washed clothes and fabric softener, yes... fabric softener is a joy in life!
My Windows Mobile Verizon cel phone. My Imagio is so much a part of my life it is scary.
On tap clean and drinkable water.
Toilet paper would prove to be missed by everyone.
I guess heat and AC.
Automobiles, once fuel was used up we would all be locatonally challanged. Imagine needing to get 30 miles away for supplies with no mechanized transportation!
Many things, too many to list!

Flushing toilet.
