What would you do if you woke up and discovered you were the only person on Earth?
How would you spend your time?
shareHow would you spend your time?
shareIf there was food and shelter I would relax.
shareFood won't last forever.
You'd have tons of it but it won't last that long.
canned food can last years if kept in a dry dark place. frozen also if you have a power source. dried and salted foods can also last years if stored properly.
shareEventually there will be no power.
Canned food can last years but not forever.
It depends on how long you plan on living. If you're going to be around for 20 or 30 years
you'd have do something else.
I would look for solar or wind powered places to live.
I also think living in a northern climate would be better. At least you would have a freezer
for part of the year.

Might not have tasted good, but it was still edible! With modern canning technology, I'd bet canned food would last longer if stored in a cool, dry place like a basement or root cellar.
That's really interesting. Gross but interesting.
Another reason to stay or go to a northern climate.
Not necessarily the North pole but somewhere you have seasons and a winter
to help preserve food.
An underground root cellar would be perfect. You could even make it below the frost line.
Well there would be no electricity without people working at the power plants. You could use generators but the gasoline will eventually go bad, they never show this in The Walking Dead, but gas does eventually lose it's usability. So you can cross watching tv and playing video games off your list. After a few years, cross driving off your list. I guess you better get some horses and dogs. Goats and chickens.
Working a farm alone is very very difficult. Many of those jobs need at least two strong people. That's why farmers used to have lots of kids. There would be lots of fish and game and pretty much unlimited guns and ammo. At least you'd have enough to last for your lifetime. When you get too old to hunt and fish, you could shoot yourself.
Well, that's just it, isn't it? You don't know how you would react to that. It probably wouldn't be as nice as you would imagine. People tend to go a little nutty pretty quickly once they go into social isolation.
shareFirst of all,i will make myself an imaginary friend.
I have enough supplies and start exploring.
what about wild animals ??
shareI'd say "finally!", then take out the list of things I've been planning to do in such a situation.
For example, I've always wanted to ride my bicycle on a busy highway - but when it wasn't busy. And take my time choosing froyo toppings, without the pressure of someone waiting at a counter or behind me. Just random things I've always wanted to do but couldn't because people were there.
Sleep and Read
