I'd like to think you're not totally correct Malthouse . Granted if it's a nuclear Armageddon or alien invasion we could take it as a certainty although ironically if we are stuck in a bunker for six months chess, monopoly and books might very well be vital.
I tend to look at peoples already living a more "primitive " lifestyle and our ancestors who though they have or had a basic hunter gatherer exsistance still found time to create songs, stories and dance and still had the time to paint cave walls and make " unnecessaries" like jewellery .
At this time of year with short days then yes there probably won't be much relaxation time , except for perhaps sex that can be done in the dark but in the summer with much longer hours of daylight then I think we will be able to work in some downtime at least in the longer term.
Optimism is a vital tool for any prepper.

That is a fair point, but a long way from the notion of needing something to fill the gap left behind by TV and Net. I am not suggesting there will be zero down time, just that the consumer society we enjoy now is heavily weighted towards leisure.

No Interweb, telly, gaming consoles and everything else my plump little self has gotten used to scares the S out of me. Just sayin! Suppose when it comes down to it, you just need to make do with what you got?

You cant beat a game of chess or a game of cards. I have recently came across a third game that I hold in similar regard. It is a game called Hnefatafl, aka The Viking Game or The Kings Table. I refer to it as The Kings Table myself. I recommend looking it up.
