[QUOTE="Warren Okuma, post: 3948647, member: 48436"] I have books that can teach you how to be a blacksmith. Trial and error. It's doable, but a lot of hard work. There are tons of tools that can be used for blacksmithing. You just need the books, and will to live. Or you can just rebuild the factories and machine shops, bypassing the blacksmith way. In the mid and northern regions, yes, but I live in Hawaii, and is surrounded by woods. Florida? Not so much. A drop of ten degrees is serious, yes, but livable. Lots of houses are insulated and would do surprisingly well even if a ten degree drop. All books burned? Not likely. How about the books and knowledge in the garbage dumps? Lots of stuff will be in there. Oh and how about folks trying to get the coal and oil fields to work again? Sure it takes skill, but they have motivation and maybe manuals. Also there are tons of deposits of coal that are non economical to mine... There are tons of woods, depending where you live. And sometimes you live near a forest. And sometimes your solar panels and wind farms still work or can be fixed... In Hawaii you can do biofuel. You can make alcohol. It's not like it's hard. We already know how to do this. Materials can be harvested from garbage dumps or salvaged. Trade can be restarted. Somewhat. It depends on the location. I however live on the high ground near the middle, so I'm not so much in trouble. And islands tend to have shock cocoons and safe areas. Junk yards and cities will yield salvage, metals and whatever survives. Underground garages will have tons of raw materials, and the meteors might yield metals. [/QUOTE]
