Well, dang – the likeness is incredible!
Isn’t it ?!?!?!?
nah, I figured Phil will end up as a wizard working for some warlord.
he will be too busy fixing stuff to worry about raids and the like.
the thing is to make the soon to be warlord know you can do stuff, make things work. figured out shit. the scary part about life is most people today have no idea how to fix a plumbing problem, let alone anything else.
just making water safe to drink is beyond most people today (real sad outlook)
but on the plus side it will thin out the more worthless ones fast.
one thing for sure is that people who know how to fix or make things work will find help. those people who work with computers, not so much.
life on the edge is not kind to the stupid.
besides, I don’t think he would look good in open ass chaps. he doesn’t need to anyway, he knows how to fix stuff.
Computer operation (standalone) skills will still be in vogue – think CNC, industrial controllers (ladder logic), and other small non-internet-connected devices. I’m familiar and have worked on and programmed a LOT of industrial equipment. Electricity is actually easy to generate if you are near moving water or can get sufficient head pressure from a lake.
Yes, things will go to hell, but there’s enough high(er) tech stuff just lying around that can be cannibalized and repurposed if you get creative. I’ve had LOTS of experience with that sort of thing!
Sure, people with ONLY computer experience will be pretty much useless, but our JOTMAN experiences amongst us readers will be good survival experiences. Most of us can African Engineer just about anything.

one of many reasons why I moved here. there is a lot of water- rain, snow= creeks and streams.
water powered tools might be a thing of the past, but it worked very well for a long time.
and I do own a lot of really old books on it too.
belt line machining. always liked the way overshot water wheels looked and worked. it is one of the few types to work with low water pressure.
for the most part, it quiet, safe and easy to use.
steam can be a problem at times. and the pressure needed to run a engine ?
and it still comes back to a line-belt system.
btw, I have done a fair bit of rigging like that myself
in the past. might have to do it again here soon the way things are going.
Phil only wishes he was that purdy.
That pic makes him a Cheyenne Dog Soldier Warlord and very fearce.
Looks like Michelle Obama. Scuffed knuckles and all.
