I would find myself a nice large 4x4 truck put a cap on the bed and get myself a hand crank gas siphen pump so i could suck gas out of the large underground tanks at gas stations. Then stop by a hardware store and get myself a few basic tools. Axe sledge hammer hammer nails some wood and any other basic supplys i think might come in handy. Then to the grocery stores to stock up on canned foods spam!! lots of canned veggies and all of that stuff. and dry foods that dont spoil pastas and that sort of thing. then i would make sure to eat stuff that does spoil first just because i know i wont get to enjoy it after that very often. then to a gun store to get myself a pistol something powerful maybe a .45 just for self defense from any animals that i might come across. would be something i could keep handy just in case. Then a large shotgun with plenty of slug ammo buck shot and game load for hunting duck and that sort of thing. Then a large Rifle something i think would be good and reliable and a crapload of ammo for that. Then get myself a nice compound bow and plenty of arrows and a good skinning knife and butcher knife and anything else i might think would be helpful for gutting and cleaning animals so i could eat the meat. Then a trip to a library to get myself some books. basic medical books with plenty of good first aid info and that sort of thing. Then books on survival and how to hunt and butcher your own meat. Just so i know im not doing anything horribly wrong. and any info i could get on solar power and wind power. Then to a few military bases to load up on those MRE meals that have a crazy long shelflife and all the first aid and survival stuff and medication i could get my paws on. then getmyself ready for a long road trip. then off to find myself a perfect spot to live for the rest of my life. Hopefully somewhere with some wind turbines making power with some sort of orchard near by with fruits growing. apples oranges and that sort of thing would be great. Find myself a nice house near by thats powered by those turbines then just in case go find a bunch of solar panals to load up on the house and anywhere else i have room to mount them. That way power wont be a problem. I would try to make a animal friendly envirorment near by so i have stuff to hunt. deer cow sheep chickens and that sort of thing. Then collect any info i could find on farming but not all modern farming because after a while the gas will go bad and using a big tractor isnt going to work. so i would need to go back to animal power but that would work since i would just need to feed myself. Would grow stuff that would be good for both me and any animals i might want to keep. Then it would be time to go to california to snag myself a large car carrior truck and some of those fancy electric cars that recharge plugging into the wall outlet. I would make sure i get as many as possible so when one breaks im not totaly out of luck. So then i would have my basics
Well water fruit veggies first aid stuff hunting stuff animals hopefully will be able to manage to deal with basic farm animal stuff. chickens for eggs cows milk beef and that sort of thing... i like pork but pigs smell bad so yeah im not gonna farm those. Power from solar and wind and as many dvds and basic comforts of home that i would normaly have. After a while the internet and stuff would fail and that would be annoying. but at least i would have video games and all the dvds i could handle. But with all the farming stuff just for basic survival i would be fairly busy as it was. Would have to get a few pets to keep me from going nuts. Would have cats that i would let go outdoors whenever they wanted to keep mice and rats under control to keep disease from being that big of a problem. Where every i picked to live would have to have at least a river near by so i could fish just to get some alterintives to my diet. Would make sure i stocked up on stuff to fix anything that might go wrong at the house. Lots of wood and metal and wood and metal tools welder and saws and whatever else might be handy. a Large trailer that i would use to haul off garbage far from where i live to keep things clean and healthy. then i woul dneed to think of the joys of the septic system Because after a few years that things gonna fill up and i dont need my own waste backing up into the house. So i would need to find a way to drain the tank and haul it away.
I wouldnt try to repopulate the planet. But i would spend time making sure i was the only person left. I think for the most part i would be ok living on my own. Would have plenty of books to read and movies to watch and work to do to keep me busy. Have a few dogs to play with to keep me from getting too lonely. Heat and AC from fireplace and solar/wind power and a electric furnace. Would be a comfortable life i think. In a way it would be peaceful and pleasant. Wouldnt need to worry about any crazy people screwing things up for you. would just need to plan ahead and be very careful not to get hurt. A broken leg could really be a pain in the butt. Basicly it wouldnt be so bad if everyone just vanished. Now if there was a plauge or some sort of apocolipse with scattered people left around i think it would be harder. because you never know what desperate people might do. At least if you know your alone you know your the top of the food chain. if others were left scattered about you never know what kinda freak might show up to steal your stuff kill you eat you rape you or whatever. Sure animals can be dangerous too but.. a wild animal looking for a meal would sooner go after the farm animals then a person. And thats what having the guns around is for.
after i was settled in i wouldnt take any risks i didnt have to. no excessive traveling or anything. Now a road trip a few hundred miles is nothing. but when you have abandoned cars all over the place from when people vanished it would be a pain just getting around. No reason to go out and risk getting hurt and stranded far from the safety of home where i know i had supplys.
