I suggest that you try camping, lol. It is fun and you will learn and discover new things. With camping, electricity is not a need but water is. And you said it yourself, so why choose comfort over survival?

I would choose water since if their is no electricity. Their other alternatives sources of light one could use a lamp fulled by gasoline or oil. Or it may just use a candles or some primitive place with bonfire on hand could be enough to lit the places. While water for me is life. Everything I do need water and i could sacrifice other things but could not afford to live without water.

Hi llbo1981, I would like to pick electricity for sure. I could live without this powerful supply for I need it badly to manipulate all the essential devices in my daily life. I spend most of my time sitting in front of my pc. Without power my pc can't work at all. Moreover the weather here is mostly scorching hot all the year round. I couldn't get into sleep if without fans or air con at all for at least 7 hours or so daily There are machines available every corner for supplying drinking water. We could get the required amount of water by just inserting coin into it. We could eat out and have our laundry using the public washing machine. If we like we could have cater food for the convenience. I could take shower in my siblings house as all of them living near to my house Happy posting

I would definitely choose water. Electricity is a luxury. Sure, it would be tough living without it and I would probably go through withdrawal from all my lovely things, but it would be doable. living without water, on the other hand, would be pretty near impossible to do.

Many years ago, there was no electricity in many parts of our country. But people were able to survive happily and comfortably. Without water in our body, or for everyday functions, we cannot survive. Therefore water is a need, while electiricty is a want. So I choose water.

Humans, according to science, can not survive three days without water. Therefore, water is more important than electricity. For if there is no life, then there is no need for electricity. Electricity is a luxury of the present generation. It is something that our forefathers didn't have but they were able live their daily life. In fact, there are still places in the world without electricity but life goes on.

I could live comfortably without electricity but not without water. As you said, it's needed for survival and for comfort as well. So candles it would be along with a fire to heat the water for my nice, hot bath.

In the hometown of my mother there is no electricity there but the people survive even without electricity. But water, they really needed it in their daily lives. Electricity is just a pleasure in man's life its not really needed. If we are going back into basic without any technology electricity is not needed. That's I perceive it, so I would choose water over electricity.
