Jroden, I think a lot of us have wondered the same thing. I was just looking at a slide show of old pictures with the majority being out west from a period of the 1880's to the 1920's. I think some in the modern world could adapt to the situation but most couldn't. Think about how many people know how to clean a fish, animal or tend to a garden. Then you have to deal with the loss of amenities of electricity, indoor plumbing, and things of that nature. How many people even know how to saddle a horse not to mention break a horse for transportation. It would be an interesting but sad time.
