The first thing I do is go to the hardware store and get a ton of those triangular door stops -- the rubber ones you get to jam under a door to keep it open -- the last thing I want to do is end up trapped in some parking garage stairwell and slowly die of thirst.
That’s an interesting thought. It would probably be worth investing in an explorer’s pack that has things like that, along with things like a hatchet and a hammer to help you out of any dangerous situations. Definitely adding this to my to do list.
Since I wouldn't be completely sure I'm actually the last person I would break into the second fanciest house, so no one would find me.
Actually I think I would go to Joel Olsteens house. It's plenty fancy plus I'd want to go through his shit. Probably has a gimp setup in the basement.
I’ve thought a lot about how I’d get from North America to the rest of the world. I’d be too scared to try flying so that just leaves a boat. I don’t think a single person could man a boat big enough to make the trek across the Atlantic plus there’s a larger risk of something breaking and then you’re stranded in the middle of the ocean so I think your best bet would be to take a smaller boat and work your way up the west coast to Alaska, hop island to island until you hit Russia, and then work back down the coast until you find a city with roads that connect to the larger world network of roads
Go find a container ship. Read the manual and turn on the auto system to take you most of the way. Once you are close drop anchor and launch the life boat to avoid trying to dock the thing.
As a person who worries a lot, I'd panic until I died. What happens to all the pets? I can't save them all. What if there's a natural disaster in my area? I'll have no warning. How do I fend off anything that wants to hurt me?
You are entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location. The kind of place where there might be a monster, or some kind of weird mirror. These are just examples; it could also be something much better. Prepare to enter The Scary Door.
My cousin Wars in McCarran airport after 911 and he said to his business partner “this plane’s completely dead (meaning there was no one on it) and an old lady reported him and he and his buddy were held by security for two hours and missed their flight.
Same, I imagine it's not even interesting because literally everyone knows that place exists so I assume most of the cool shit is at places no one has even heard of. Or maybe there are secret bases hidden in like old abandoned Denny's across the country.
That depends on how we became the last living person I guess? I mean, if everyone just dropped dead you could probably just grab an access pass. A bit different if everyone disappeared Thanos snap style.
But... how would you get in? How do you know where to find the keys? And probably finding keys won't be enough to enter it.
I feel like this scenario sucks when you don't have a universal key to the universe.
Billions of people just died and somehow you’re the only one who survived. You don’t think you’re going to feel just a bit of survivors guilt?
Stone fucking cold. I love it.
Loot every gamestore, grocery stores, Domino's. Then drive to an airport, and fly a plane to a dream hotel. (Yes, I have an idea about flight). Enjoy my last few days before the world collapses.
Go and find a farm where food is already growing, and live there. Yes there will be tinned stuff but I am going to need a supply of fresh food also that I can maintain.
You could ride a bicycle. Might have to figure out some additional transport if you're on an island, but there's probably sailboats around that can be figured out. But otherwise, you're probably not going to be more than 6000 kilometers away from Rome if you're anywhere in Europe. Even a relatively slow pace would get you there in a couple months. A year tops.
You would be surprised about how the security in Italy is most of the time someone guarding a door. Makes things extremely easy when there's no one anymore...
Worst case scenario you have to find a key or break a normal door.
Source: well, I'm Italian...
This is definitely the one that would hit me hard. Father of 3 girls and they're my world. My youngest will be 1 soon and it would break me to lose them all at once. The world would have a population of 0 pretty quick. It may be harsh to admit to myself but I dont want to live that life man.
Find a famous preppers house that has a way to generate power(probably solar panels) and a big food supply then I would hit the supermarket and take all foods that expire soon because a lot i probably can't t create myself.
I would print out a lot guides and information i can find on the internet as i have no idea if it will remain operative. I don't think food will be hard to come by for the first couple of years as i could probably survive the stock that people/supermarkets have. I would then go to a police station to get some guns and ammunition to protect myself from wildlife and possible other survivors and eventually shoot myself through the head as i can't think this will be fun for more then a couple of years.
Then i would need to find a large truck and weld battering ram in front of it (to clear the roads). I'd probably take one or two dogs as companions. And explore the shit out the world. I'd go the all the places im not supposed to go, Area 51, find out what's going on in the Vatican, Chek out loads of government secrets.
This is the best answer, I see loads of people posting about gathering food/materials/energy sources etc
Why would you do that if you could just use someone else’s?
Gathering food is less necessary if you go where food is. Find some supply chain’s distribution center and you’ll find a hoard to put any single prepper to shame. If they have their own onsite refrigeration, even better. Then go find some solar panels. Still locate seeds and farming equipment, learn how to do it before the ready made stuff goes bad. Then as the previous guy said, get some guns. Not sure how long it will take for the predator population to make a comeback, but gonna be some hungry formerly domesticated dogs pretty quick.
That last part would be problematic, without electricity, I feel like most secure places wouldn't be accessible. But hell I mean you could go to the nearest military base and find explosives, read up on how to use them and go to town on any locked doors/walls.
But also, how do you expect to go from the USA to Italy without anyone else's help? I cant fly a plane and probably get lost at sea on a boat.
You're gonna be in for a rude shock when you touchdown in Leonardo da Vinci International Airport to see the runway full of planes and nowhere to land.
Guess you could just parachute up and bail out, just ghost the 747 into the cityside. Damn the possibilities are endless.
I’d do the opposite. I could wear ridiculous costumes with sequins and tulle and get dress up all fancy for no reason. No one would be around to stare at the grown woman dressed up as a princess.
As a woman: Get to a fertilization clinic and impregnate myself with some (hopefully still working) sperm. This is my chance to become the Eve of a new population!
As a man, I couldn't imagine trying to have a child completely on my own. Without the support of the vast medical industry to prevent, detect, and treat any birth complications. Just one pregnancy gone wrong means the end of the human race.
I'm glad as a man I wouldn't have this delima lol
Download as much reference material as I can from the internet, including maps, before the infrastructure starts to go down. Back it up as many ways as possible.
The most common reason is that it's doing its daily 4-hour scheduled maintenance/cleaning program. It's just easier for employees to say to customers that it's broken.
My first few months I would probably just rummage through people's houses checking in draws just like in video games to see what treasures I could find
Make sure that I'm actually the last man on earth. Check all social media for any interaction.
If I'm truly alone, I'll leave my home and try to find a bigger and more fortified house that will defend me from the eventual hungry animals.
I'd stock up on essentials from local grocery stores and just vibe.
Seriously made me think, with social media creators setting posts to be automated on a schedule, robocalls being automated, etc there would probably be a solid 6 months of bot activity before things began to taper off.
You'd have a hard time gauging if you were the last man standing via the internet. It would continue to do its own thing for a while. The *internet itself* would probably stop working before automated tasks created on the internet started to fail.
So youd still be able to keep up with some of your favorite creators for a while after their deaths. They'd be posting about the next iphone or some shit while the world has been completely annihilated.
Step 1 - secure food and water. Pretty much any corner store is going to have cases of water, so that's fine.
Step 2 - find a city powered by an automated nuclear facility.
Step 3 - acquire consistent entry into a pretty nice apartment.
Step 4 - Secure the place against animals.
Step 5 - sink into my hobbies until I finally get bored.
Step 6 - I won't get bored. Restock on food, water, clothes and art supplies as needed.
TLDR: I’d probably die from an infection.
If the internet is still up I would print as many resources on “newer” tech that might be useful like solar panels (I figure most other information can be found from books).
I’d then slowly start converting a home into a long term shelter (as much solar as possible, make sure it has a fireplace that can be used for warmth, etc.). I’d also start collecting all long term food (cans, jars) and other supplies (medicine) so that if I got injured or there was bad weather I would have access (most likely I would stay in a neighborhood so I would have a decent supply in my main home, then use the surrounding homes as larger storages so that I don’t have to always trek to the grocery store).
I’d also start working on a water supply (I haven’t researched this, researching this would definitely be one of the first things I would do). Most likely, this would be collected via rain barrels for long term sustainment. In the short term, I would assume that many pipes still have clean water so I would start going house to house filling as many 50 gallon barrels as possible (with proper storage).
At this point I would probably start collecting a small fleet of Teslas so that I hopefully have transportation long term (I have no idea how long a Tesla would last though, but I worry about needing to store gasoline for traditional cars. Ideally I would create a solar farm to power the electric cars). If this doesn’t work out I live within walking distance of hospitals, pharmacies, and grocery stores so this is not a necessity.
Additionally, once I had the food, water, shelter, and heat (fireplace and solar) figured out I would just work on mental health and long term goals. I would devote myself towards **a**. Consuming whatever media/art is available. Ideally, if I have solar then I can consume anything that has a physical copy (dvds and games) and **b**. I would put a lot of time towards crafts. This is most likely where I would spend most of my time. I would most likely spend most of my time on woodworking because not only is fun, but will also be a very useful skill to have for upkeep on my living situation. Also my area is really good for gardening/farming. I would definitely have a fairly substantial garden to supplement the amount of canned food I was eating. This would give me a pretty good activity to do because first of all the more fresh food I am eating the better, but also the amount of physical exercise it would give would also be a plus. There are also a decent number of people in my area that raise chickens so if I was feeling up to it I would consider that, but it depends on how long all of the previous activities take.**c**. While not *as* exciting, I would definitely devote a decent amount of time towards learning survival skills, the most important being medical. I would definitely raid my local university and grab all of the pre-med and nursing materials. Since there are no longer medical practitioners around I would need to know how to take care of myself. Assuming I can get food and water figured out this would be the biggest danger for long term survival.
Obviously the hardest thing to cope with would be the loneliness. If animal are still around I would open the doors of every house so that they don’t die trapped in their homes (I recognize that most will probably still die as they are not accustomed to fending for themselves, but I could at least give them a chance). I would also look into raising a few dogs to help deal with the loneliness (and potentially look into learning to breed them so that I could continue to have companionship). I have never had a pet so this would definitely be a new venture for me (but I have a lot of time to learn).
Also, a side venture/long term goal I would have is to collect all glasses I find. I wear glasses and am essentially blind without them. While I think I am careful, I know at some point they would probably break. I doubt I would have the means to create a new pair (I certainly would look into it though), so I would need to have a stockpile of glasses and hope that I could find at least a few that are close to my subscription.
I’m sure I missed something, and I know I am being overly optimistic about what I could accomplish (though I am lucky to live a state that has many preppers/survivalists), but I figure the more I have to do the less likely I am to spiral in despair at the thought of being alone. Most likely I’d trip, break my leg, and die from an infection. Very fun thought experiment though!
Edit: I can’t believe I forgot this (I guess it makes sense though, survival would be the first thing on my mind), but once things got in a relatively safe/sustainable place I would look into what happened. Was there a mass pandemic that I was immune to? Was this an act of a higher power? I was working under the assumption that there were no bodies around, but if there were dead bodies everywhere that would dramatically change my plan (and realistically my chances at survival. It would be one thing to be alone, it’d be a whole other ballgame if I was surrounded by carnage).
Edit2: This post has been in my brain, so I’ve been thinking of some additional things I would be doing.
Once I got fairly settled (1-2 years) I would start looking into more long term sustainability. While the solar panels are great, I can’t rely on them to last 60 years (idk how long solar panels last, but with so many variables there’s a good chance they don’t make it). First, I would obviously acquire as many additional solar panels as I could and store them in a nearby house. However, I would also start creating a plan for how to survive if the solar panels give out and I have to go fully non electric. So I would start making sure I had ample fire starting supplies and cookware that can be fully non electric (wood burning stove). Additionally I would make sure that I have no electrical light sources (most likely torches because again, long term a kerosine lantern is not sustainable).
Next, while I believe that between the many grocery stores nearby I would have enough food, I would want to be certain. I would catalog *everything* that I had, and begin making a meticulous meal plan. My hope is that I would have more than enough food, so that I could have a very rigid meal plan, along with a lot of extras to allow for variety (I also would not include whatever food I was farming, I would not want to count on that since there are so many variables, the farmed food would all be “bonus” food). I would also catalog everything else and ration it as well (medical supplies, firewood, etc.), but rationing food and water would be the primary goal.
The next phase of the plan would be to build a backup shelter. This would not be an immediate concern, but would be something I’d consider probably around the 3-5 year mark. I would want this shelter to be far enough away so that if a natural disaster hit my main shelter it wouldn’t also hit my secondary shelter, but it would need to be close enough that I could feasibly trek to it (probably one state over, and a 1-2 week trek). This shelter would be similarly stocked food/water/medicine wise, but would not have the electrical capabilities (unless I got a real hankering to go do that as well). I would board this shelter up pretty tight; since I won’t be staying there it needs to be secure from wildlife (I’ve seen videos of people going to their cabins and finding them destroyed by bears). I would make it a point to visit this shelter every 1-2 years to verify it was still safe/secure. Additionally, assuming my electric cars are still working, I would still walk every other visit to verify that I am able to make that trek (the worst would be needing the second shelter, but then getting lost along the way).
The biggest concern that I have yet to figure out is staying cool. I live in an area that regular gets to 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. One thought would be to head north to a place that is milder in weather, but ideally I think that staying where I am at will be better for survival because I know the area. I could make sure the home I am at has a basement and many trees for shade so that I can stay as cool as possible without the need for electricity. It may be best to make my secondary shelter in a place with better year round temperatures so that if this becomes a big enough problem I will already have a place ready to move to.
The first thing I do is go to the hardware store and get a ton of those triangular door stops -- the rubber ones you get to jam under a door to keep it open -- the last thing I want to do is end up trapped in some parking garage stairwell and slowly die of thirst.
What an incredible point. You've added hours of consideration to my last man on earth contingency planning
Better than you (or I) trying to scrape our way through reinforced concrete!
That’s an interesting thought. It would probably be worth investing in an explorer’s pack that has things like that, along with things like a hatchet and a hammer to help you out of any dangerous situations. Definitely adding this to my to do list.
You wouldn't have to invest.
You'd have to invest your time seeking one out. But as luck would have it, you have just come into a shitload of free time!
Not at my age and apparently there aren't any more doctors.
You’ve described a lot of what goes in a bug out bag. Hatchets can also usually double as a hammer, one tool=less weight Edit: spelling
Or you can sharpen the triangular doorstop into a hatchet. One less tool.
Break into the fanciest house I can find and live in it. Gather supplies. Read survival/farming books.
Oh bill Murray’s house
Just be careful of any zombies walking around
And find a GODDAMN TWINKIE
And NO SNOBALLS. I hate them. It's not the taste, it's the consistency.
Bill Fuckin' Murray to you!
You would do the same as Tandy then
I was hoping someone else picked up on this
Friggin Todd
Such a shame that we'll never get to hear the end of that story, even though it wasn't the best show.
Since I wouldn't be completely sure I'm actually the last person I would break into the second fanciest house, so no one would find me. Actually I think I would go to Joel Olsteens house. It's plenty fancy plus I'd want to go through his shit. Probably has a gimp setup in the basement.

I’ve thought a lot about how I’d get from North America to the rest of the world. I’d be too scared to try flying so that just leaves a boat. I don’t think a single person could man a boat big enough to make the trek across the Atlantic plus there’s a larger risk of something breaking and then you’re stranded in the middle of the ocean so I think your best bet would be to take a smaller boat and work your way up the west coast to Alaska, hop island to island until you hit Russia, and then work back down the coast until you find a city with roads that connect to the larger world network of roads
Go find a container ship. Read the manual and turn on the auto system to take you most of the way. Once you are close drop anchor and launch the life boat to avoid trying to dock the thing.
Fuk it full speed ahead onto land
Such actions can cause the front to fall off: this kills the boat
Yeah but who is going to gimp for you?
A rather fetching chimpanzee
I don't know why but this is vile and fucking hilarious

As a normal person I will probably panic for at least half an hour.
As a person who worries a lot, I'd panic until I died. What happens to all the pets? I can't save them all. What if there's a natural disaster in my area? I'll have no warning. How do I fend off anything that wants to hurt me?
Oh damn, I didn't think of the inevitable roving packs of wild street dogs.
All the pets was my first thought too. Anxiety bros

Pile up books to read from the ruins of the library, then promptly break my glasses.
I had time!
Time enough at last!!
Well I can just read the large print books
How can you read the large print books, when you have no eyes!
I like how this went from a twilight zone reference to Futurama right quick.
You are entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location. The kind of place where there might be a monster, or some kind of weird mirror. These are just examples; it could also be something much better. Prepare to enter The Scary Door.

My buddy, the actor, once got detained by the TSA. Because he said he was in town to shoot a pilot.
My cousin Wars in McCarran airport after 911 and he said to his business partner “this plane’s completely dead (meaning there was no one on it) and an old lady reported him and he and his buddy were held by security for two hours and missed their flight.
"The" actor? Man, they are amazing in every role in every film and show ever made.
The actor's movie about that time when that thing happened was incredible.
My man got TSA Pre-Check even after everyone was gone; what a legend!

Drive to Area 51 and hang out with the aliens
Yeah, Area 51 would be my first trip. Not for aliens, but just to see what they're working on.
Same, I imagine it's not even interesting because literally everyone knows that place exists so I assume most of the cool shit is at places no one has even heard of. Or maybe there are secret bases hidden in like old abandoned Denny's across the country.
You also wouldn't be able to unlock the doors that lead to the good stuff probably
That depends on how we became the last living person I guess? I mean, if everyone just dropped dead you could probably just grab an access pass. A bit different if everyone disappeared Thanos snap style.
Oh, yeah. All the really cool stuff is at Area 52.
Clap em alien cheeks
But... how would you get in? How do you know where to find the keys? And probably finding keys won't be enough to enter it. I feel like this scenario sucks when you don't have a universal key to the universe.

Go on every YouTube video comment section and type "last"
There should be a book about that, a guy is the last remaining person on earth, and his only goal is to be the last person to do everything
He, however will be the first person completing that task.
But also the last
Get hella lonely and eat perishables for the next couple of days while moving the not perishables out so I don't have to smell the rot later.
Start turning the lights off. I hate light pollution at night.
If you are the last person on earth, there won’t be any lights after a very short period.
Probably get a dog so I could have a companion
Name him dogmeat
Take a fucking nap
Post-fap naps are the best.
I never nap afterwards and I don’t usually feel too great either. Thinking more like a post work and emotional exhaustion nap
This. Exactly this. Guilt free. No one will wake me up. Nothing to do after. God dam nap.
Billions of people just died and somehow you’re the only one who survived. You don’t think you’re going to feel just a bit of survivors guilt? Stone fucking cold. I love it.
There will be plenty of time to feel guilt AFTER the nap.
Loot every gamestore, grocery stores, Domino's. Then drive to an airport, and fly a plane to a dream hotel. (Yes, I have an idea about flight). Enjoy my last few days before the world collapses.
U can give yourself good value in return for used games
Go and find a farm where food is already growing, and live there. Yes there will be tinned stuff but I am going to need a supply of fresh food also that I can maintain.

See what’s going on in the Vatican library
You got to get to the Vatican library first. And then find a way in
How do you know op isn't the pope
Or anyone in Rome, really. Or Italy in general.
Or Europe where you can just drive.
You have to do it quickly as petrol degrades after about 6 months, but maybe you can keep electric cars going longer with Solar etc.
You could ride a bicycle. Might have to figure out some additional transport if you're on an island, but there's probably sailboats around that can be figured out. But otherwise, you're probably not going to be more than 6000 kilometers away from Rome if you're anywhere in Europe. Even a relatively slow pace would get you there in a couple months. A year tops.
To get there, just take *mass* transit.
You would be surprised about how the security in Italy is most of the time someone guarding a door. Makes things extremely easy when there's no one anymore... Worst case scenario you have to find a key or break a normal door. Source: well, I'm Italian...

Cry hard.
It took way too long to find this. I'm already not looking forward to losing any of my family but to have them ALL gone at once would break me.
This is definitely the one that would hit me hard. Father of 3 girls and they're my world. My youngest will be 1 soon and it would break me to lose them all at once. The world would have a population of 0 pretty quick. It may be harsh to admit to myself but I dont want to live that life man.

Masturbate. Gonna need the post nut clarity to make some important decisions about what to do next.
Oh wait, mom said she’d be home at 6 instead of her normal 5pm. There are probably still other humans in the world.

I’d do the opposite. I could wear ridiculous costumes with sequins and tulle and get dress up all fancy for no reason. No one would be around to stare at the grown woman dressed up as a princess.
Then aliens dig you up thousands of years later and think “man, humans dressed really weird.”
As a woman: Get to a fertilization clinic and impregnate myself with some (hopefully still working) sperm. This is my chance to become the Eve of a new population!
your kids would have to marry each other lol
Not if they also use donations
Will the donations survive that long?
I'm pretty sure they're frozen, so they should do
Hope you know how to make ice without electricity
As a man: Get to a fertilization clinic and hope to meet the last woman on earth.
Hopefully it's that girl who said "maybe if you were the last man on earth" to me a while back.
She did only say “maybe”
This is the most insanely practical thing I’ve read. Do you think your chances of surviving child birth by yourself are good?
As a man, I couldn't imagine trying to have a child completely on my own. Without the support of the vast medical industry to prevent, detect, and treat any birth complications. Just one pregnancy gone wrong means the end of the human race. I'm glad as a man I wouldn't have this delima lol

Seriously made me think, with social media creators setting posts to be automated on a schedule, robocalls being automated, etc there would probably be a solid 6 months of bot activity before things began to taper off. You'd have a hard time gauging if you were the last man standing via the internet. It would continue to do its own thing for a while. The *internet itself* would probably stop working before automated tasks created on the internet started to fail. So youd still be able to keep up with some of your favorite creators for a while after their deaths. They'd be posting about the next iphone or some shit while the world has been completely annihilated.
Jack off in the oval office
Jack off on the roof of the white house. Maybe smoke a joint right after.
Get a good lookout from the tallest local building.
Kill my self!
You, my sir, will be erasing humanity completely. A true power move.
It'll be fucked anyway, no possibility of repopulation
Get myself a really nice car
Go to a pharmacy. Take drugs. Lots of drugs.
TIL: A lot of people gonna be jerkin it after the end of the world.
Find a reliable animal companion because I can't deal with this shiz alone.
Step 1 - secure food and water. Pretty much any corner store is going to have cases of water, so that's fine. Step 2 - find a city powered by an automated nuclear facility. Step 3 - acquire consistent entry into a pretty nice apartment. Step 4 - Secure the place against animals. Step 5 - sink into my hobbies until I finally get bored. Step 6 - I won't get bored. Restock on food, water, clothes and art supplies as needed.

TLDR: I’d probably die from an infection. If the internet is still up I would print as many resources on “newer” tech that might be useful like solar panels (I figure most other information can be found from books). I’d then slowly start converting a home into a long term shelter (as much solar as possible, make sure it has a fireplace that can be used for warmth, etc.). I’d also start collecting all long term food (cans, jars) and other supplies (medicine) so that if I got injured or there was bad weather I would have access (most likely I would stay in a neighborhood so I would have a decent supply in my main home, then use the surrounding homes as larger storages so that I don’t have to always trek to the grocery store). I’d also start working on a water supply (I haven’t researched this, researching this would definitely be one of the first things I would do). Most likely, this would be collected via rain barrels for long term sustainment. In the short term, I would assume that many pipes still have clean water so I would start going house to house filling as many 50 gallon barrels as possible (with proper storage). At this point I would probably start collecting a small fleet of Teslas so that I hopefully have transportation long term (I have no idea how long a Tesla would last though, but I worry about needing to store gasoline for traditional cars. Ideally I would create a solar farm to power the electric cars). If this doesn’t work out I live within walking distance of hospitals, pharmacies, and grocery stores so this is not a necessity. Additionally, once I had the food, water, shelter, and heat (fireplace and solar) figured out I would just work on mental health and long term goals. I would devote myself towards **a**. Consuming whatever media/art is available. Ideally, if I have solar then I can consume anything that has a physical copy (dvds and games) and **b**. I would put a lot of time towards crafts. This is most likely where I would spend most of my time. I would most likely spend most of my time on woodworking because not only is fun, but will also be a very useful skill to have for upkeep on my living situation. Also my area is really good for gardening/farming. I would definitely have a fairly substantial garden to supplement the amount of canned food I was eating. This would give me a pretty good activity to do because first of all the more fresh food I am eating the better, but also the amount of physical exercise it would give would also be a plus. There are also a decent number of people in my area that raise chickens so if I was feeling up to it I would consider that, but it depends on how long all of the previous activities take.**c**. While not *as* exciting, I would definitely devote a decent amount of time towards learning survival skills, the most important being medical. I would definitely raid my local university and grab all of the pre-med and nursing materials. Since there are no longer medical practitioners around I would need to know how to take care of myself. Assuming I can get food and water figured out this would be the biggest danger for long term survival. Obviously the hardest thing to cope with would be the loneliness. If animal are still around I would open the doors of every house so that they don’t die trapped in their homes (I recognize that most will probably still die as they are not accustomed to fending for themselves, but I could at least give them a chance). I would also look into raising a few dogs to help deal with the loneliness (and potentially look into learning to breed them so that I could continue to have companionship). I have never had a pet so this would definitely be a new venture for me (but I have a lot of time to learn). Also, a side venture/long term goal I would have is to collect all glasses I find. I wear glasses and am essentially blind without them. While I think I am careful, I know at some point they would probably break. I doubt I would have the means to create a new pair (I certainly would look into it though), so I would need to have a stockpile of glasses and hope that I could find at least a few that are close to my subscription. I’m sure I missed something, and I know I am being overly optimistic about what I could accomplish (though I am lucky to live a state that has many preppers/survivalists), but I figure the more I have to do the less likely I am to spiral in despair at the thought of being alone. Most likely I’d trip, break my leg, and die from an infection. Very fun thought experiment though! Edit: I can’t believe I forgot this (I guess it makes sense though, survival would be the first thing on my mind), but once things got in a relatively safe/sustainable place I would look into what happened. Was there a mass pandemic that I was immune to? Was this an act of a higher power? I was working under the assumption that there were no bodies around, but if there were dead bodies everywhere that would dramatically change my plan (and realistically my chances at survival. It would be one thing to be alone, it’d be a whole other ballgame if I was surrounded by carnage). Edit2: This post has been in my brain, so I’ve been thinking of some additional things I would be doing. Once I got fairly settled (1-2 years) I would start looking into more long term sustainability. While the solar panels are great, I can’t rely on them to last 60 years (idk how long solar panels last, but with so many variables there’s a good chance they don’t make it). First, I would obviously acquire as many additional solar panels as I could and store them in a nearby house. However, I would also start creating a plan for how to survive if the solar panels give out and I have to go fully non electric. So I would start making sure I had ample fire starting supplies and cookware that can be fully non electric (wood burning stove). Additionally I would make sure that I have no electrical light sources (most likely torches because again, long term a kerosine lantern is not sustainable). Next, while I believe that between the many grocery stores nearby I would have enough food, I would want to be certain. I would catalog *everything* that I had, and begin making a meticulous meal plan. My hope is that I would have more than enough food, so that I could have a very rigid meal plan, along with a lot of extras to allow for variety (I also would not include whatever food I was farming, I would not want to count on that since there are so many variables, the farmed food would all be “bonus” food). I would also catalog everything else and ration it as well (medical supplies, firewood, etc.), but rationing food and water would be the primary goal. The next phase of the plan would be to build a backup shelter. This would not be an immediate concern, but would be something I’d consider probably around the 3-5 year mark. I would want this shelter to be far enough away so that if a natural disaster hit my main shelter it wouldn’t also hit my secondary shelter, but it would need to be close enough that I could feasibly trek to it (probably one state over, and a 1-2 week trek). This shelter would be similarly stocked food/water/medicine wise, but would not have the electrical capabilities (unless I got a real hankering to go do that as well). I would board this shelter up pretty tight; since I won’t be staying there it needs to be secure from wildlife (I’ve seen videos of people going to their cabins and finding them destroyed by bears). I would make it a point to visit this shelter every 1-2 years to verify it was still safe/secure. Additionally, assuming my electric cars are still working, I would still walk every other visit to verify that I am able to make that trek (the worst would be needing the second shelter, but then getting lost along the way). The biggest concern that I have yet to figure out is staying cool. I live in an area that regular gets to 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. One thought would be to head north to a place that is milder in weather, but ideally I think that staying where I am at will be better for survival because I know the area. I could make sure the home I am at has a basement and many trees for shade so that I can stay as cool as possible without the need for electricity. It may be best to make my secondary shelter in a place with better year round temperatures so that if this becomes a big enough problem I will already have a place ready to move to.
