Getting time w/o these things may be a valuable prep for many.
Guess I'm already halfway there- the area I live in, the power goes out all the time if you so much as sneeze, and the house has not had air conditioning for almost the entire 18 or so years I've been here (finally got some window units just because the heat was really getting annoying). It's actually kind of funny hearing people complain about the heat in an air conditioned building, while you're sitting there comfortably.
As far as prepping goes, since I'm still on the ground floor, I spent about 5 or 6 hours (yesterday-sorry) reading/researching an assortment of things. Then I went job searching.
Maybe I'll make a trip over to my neighbor and have a nice long chat...
Working on getting in shape, but it's starting pretty slow as I've had some health problems over the last few years that pretty much cut the legs out from under me, so I'm waaaay out of shape and I don't want to just dive back in.
