Yes, I like and have old designs like 1911s and revolvers.
But there is a working rotary phone in my house.
I own more than one manual typewriter and occasional mail off a chatty missive.
My woodworking shop in the basement has few things that plug into the wall. It's only recently I bought a drill that takes batteries in case I need to screw something in the driveway, away from an power outlet. And my plug-in drill is a beast. Too much drill for, say, driving a 1 inch screw. Like hunting squirrels with a .44.
My watch is EMP proof.
If I had a spot of and I wanted to put a steel building on, there are PLENTY of places that will put up a sheetmetal barn for you lickety split. But I'd jones for a quonset hut, and all it's innefficiency.
I shave with a straight razor when I have the time. An old skool safety razor when I'm in a hurry.
I prefer wrough iron to mild steel. Do you know why you can't buy wrought iron at the store? There is SO MUCH labor to it.
Why am I stuck in the past like this?

Wut? Inefficient? How?
Also, they still are available for relatively cheap as kits in a few different styles now.
When societal collapse occurs, folks like you, ( like me ) will be the only people who have an idea of how to get by in the NEW reality. You know- like with books and other things that do not require semiconductors and electrical power.
Speaking of screwing things in the driveway, I have modified a 14V drill to install a long cord and cigarette lighter plug. 12V is plenty, and I can screw things wherever a car is.
Living In The Past - great album great idea.
Rest assured, you are not alone.
