New board!
« on: November 27, 2007, 02:29:22 PM »
Hey everyone. Just thought it would be fun to have a board for using the last of the parts from the industrial economy. We'll still have bike parts for like 20 years right?

Here's a question:

How can one sharpen kitchen knives using natural materials?

This is good. I mean, I'm more interested in the transition anyway, since that's what I'll live in. My Grandkids will rewild.

Bike parts will still be needed as bikes become a major source of transportation. electrical wiring will still be used as many will still attempt to produce wind and solar power. you will even see some radio/shortwave communication. I think there will be a big market for "hand crank" equipment repairmen (radios, lights etc)

blacksmithing will make use of abandoned seel.. even entire buildings.

large industrial machinery will be salvaged to make windmills, waterwheels, and other basic powered machines.  I think there will good business for those that can make wagons from scratch.  as for other remnants.. people are quite resourseful..  eventually everything will be repurposed, or returned to operation. nothing like the deadly scale it is now though.
