I don't think any of us are planning to convert our closet into a Faraday cage or squirrel-away dried beans, I think it's just an interesting puzzle to contemplate. Logistically how would you get by? How do you think the general public would react? What happens when ethic comes into conflict with survival? Apparently Hollywood thinks its a recipe for creating interest, too: take 5 characters and put them into strange circumstances and see what happens. Imminent asteroid collision, a flipped ocean liner, a towering inferno, a zombie apocalypse, crashed on a super-natural island, volcano, earthquake, pandemic, crushing invasion force, etc. Now, if you'll excuse me I need to get back to searching eBay for a tube-based ham radio.
