I think you'd need to be on a network for bundle to work. Once you've bundled 
an app, you can continue to work on it, but I doubt that bundler would work 
without a net -- the first thing it does is try to read the latest updates from 
rubygems.org. You can simulate this pretty easily by disabling all of your 
network and trying to run bundle update in an existing (working) application. 
See if it succeeds without giving up.
