I suppose I'd be very confused and wary of what happened. Likely making me bug out to the wilderness. I live in western massachusetts, I'd probably head west to the AT and take it to canada. Make some kind of permanent home

I would just travel around world in some van, that way I would kept me busy and with infinite resources. I'd get some guns from the army as the first thing, then the world would be my oyster.
>>
I naively fantasize about this sometimes because I'm a quiet loner. I live on a relatively small island so the first thing I would do is gather the supplies I needed and drive to the coast. I'd live there for a while, roam around and slowly learn to operate a boat for a few months before trying to make the crossing to the mainland on a calm few days. In the case I don't get lost at sea or die, I'd land on the mainland and probably just spend the rest of my life wandering around the cities and countryside, gathering and looting as I go. Possibly killing myself at some point maybe 20+ years down the line depending on how I feel. Humans are social animals after all, and begin to suffer if completely seperated from others for too long.
>>
If I were to be the only human, there's no way I'd last too long. I'd roam around, break into people's houses just to see what they have. I'd just chill in different people's houses, and masturbate with all of the different different women's underwear and sex toys and shit.
Eventually I'd run out of food or something, and eventually die.

If I just woke up and my wife and everyone was gone? I'd likely freak out until I realize I'm alone forever. Then I'd probably shoot myself. I don't think I could live as a human Lonesome George.

Now, if I knew what was going on to some extent, maybe there was some disaster and there is small bands of people ie Walking Dead minus zombies, I'd loot the gun store down the road, fill up the truck, and head to farm country, and eat steak until I die prematurely likely from an infection modern medicine could easily cure.

From there I'd split time between the Caribbean and more temperate climates, moving north during hurricane season and south during the winter. I could explore, spearfish and hunt whatever runs wild on the islands during the winter, then park the boat in the Carolinas and spend the summers in the highest, coolest parts of the Appalachians (probably travelling by a more practical vehicle this time). If I could guarantee the boat would be safe during storm season (probably not easy solo) I might spend hurricane season in the Mexican highlands.

If I think the end might be nigh, I'll attempt to sail for Europe and then Africa. Exploring an abandoned Europe would be depressing but cool, and with enough of the right medical supplies, Africa could be an acceptable place to start flirting with death on a daily basis by hunting dangerous game until I fuck up and get eaten/trampled/bitten by a black mamba.

The reactor itself will SCRAM, with the control rods shutting down fission. The problem is the spent fuel in the nearby cooling pool building. It requires power to refrigerate and circulate cooling water. With the cooling, the spent fuel rods would boil off all the water. The fuel pellets would melt through the rod casings, and burn through the concrete at the bottom of the pool, all while releasing large amounts of radioactive smoke and gases into the air.

Id go to the Puget sound. There is an island I know of with quite a bit of acreage and only one cabin with no electricity.

I would loot the libraries. I would live my life in a comfy cabin with a good garden, chickens for food and eggs, plenty of fish and crab for eating. Plenty of books to read.

>>676157
There isn't a lot of food that can be stored for more than a few years safely. A lot of foods go bad in a year or two, many canned foods become less safe after a few years, Even the "long term" foods only last a decade or more (hard grains like most of your wheats, spelt, white rice, Barley, oats, rye, dried beans) all of those will last 10-20 years.

Flour, canned meats, pastas, corn meal, powdered milk, canned veggies, nut butters and dried meats all will last 4-8 years or so

Salt, sugar and honey will last a lifetime.

First thing I'd raid? Local pot shop. As for keeping busy... I'd probably make my way to the coast as quickly as possible and try to teach myself to sail.

No idea how safe the aquatic life would be to eat, or even swimming, so I'd probably just settle in for a long retirement of eating and being high off my ass all day.

Yes you can. When a reactor shuts down, the control rods go all the way in and the reaction stops. After that, everything starts to cool down and after THAT the reactor is totally inert forever.

Not really. Ever heard of a wood-gas conversion? Natural Gas engines are also fairly easy. Methane isn't that difficult to come by if you know what you are doing. Steam engines as well.

But mostly you are right. Without some technical knowledge, after a few years the gasoline goes bad, and distilling gasoline is NOT easy. So most people would be on foot. Or bicycle.

next try and save a shitload of fresh/frozen food before it spoils, probably best to either find a costco etc and keep fueling their backup genny, or fill a bunch of refer trucks up and marshal them at my place.

Yeah, no, nowadays they have emergency control rods that drop in and rob all the free neutrons flying around and pretty much just instantly stop the fission process if/when anything goes wrong. That shit happens automatically and no human input is needed, so nuclear plants aren't in any real danger of melting down.

OP here.
I'd be interested in exploring Asia and Africa but with all navigation systems out of commission it'd be too dangerous to try to cross the Atlantic. Instead I'd set up base in Alaska, wait for winter, then take a dogsled across the Bering Strait. Then I'd move down the coast to China until the roads were clear of snow and I could start driving again. I'd have the whole of Afro-Eurasia to spend my life exploring.
Option 2: figure out how to cryogenically freeze myself for six million years until all plastic has disintegrated, all buildings are overgrown, ecosystems balanced, and the world is as it should be.
>>
>>679540
The Bering Straight doesn't freeze solid in the winter. It's got really strong currents so there's almost always open channels. Your best chance would be hopping from ice flow to ice flow and just hoping the currents would send those flows in the right direction.

You'd be better off attempting in the summer with a boat.

African savannah animals adapting to Europe or the north American wilderness. Planet of the apes etc. Assuming they could escape and breed of course.
>>
I would probably head south, try to live out my life with my dog. If all went well I could hopefully find enough supplies and equipment till isolation sets in and I kill myself. Assuming I don't kill myself, I would probably hit up feed stores (food will spoil in a week, livestock feed keep for years). After that I would hit up every liquor and tobacco store I could find because by that point I would need a drink and a dip.

Chances are that I will off myself or die well before the reactors blow, but there are a thousand of other things that could go wrong, like disease.

Assuming I made it to spring, I would probably be tempted to go to all the places I am currently not allowed to go to, but chances are that I would never make it to were I was going.

On any account, it would be the greatest and worst time of my life.

I think the boat option is safer than learning to fly option. Obviously you'd have to prep for a while, finding the right boat and making sure you could actually navigate successfully, have the fuel and supplies. The boat must be big enough to cross the ocean successfully but not so big that it needs more than a one person crew.
But with good planning it's doable.

running a farm is hard work and takes a lot of no-how. anyone without farming experience is going to have a bad time trying to keep animals alive and healthy, and fed, all by themselves. fuck that, eating already existing foods vs. humping ass on a farm 20hrs a day? the answer is simple. you must be shrooming if you think otherwise.

Having been a farmer for four years, and gardener my whole life, I can tell you this really isn't true. At the very least, it makes sense to have a few plants that don't require maintenance. Fruit trees for instance, rarely require care. Cherry tomatoes will produce all season, and for years after if you bring them in in the winter. Raspberries require no work at all.

Many plants will reseed themselves and once a garden is established you can let the weeds grow. I've had gardens where I just tilled everything under, planted my seeds and taken fruits and veggies all year. Its really only a lot of work if you're trying to maximize yields or have competition-level produce. Neither of which matter if all you're looking to do is keep yourself fed.

one person driving around the country is going to make like zero impact on any crops and wildlife/livestock in whichever area they are staying unless you decide to hold up for a few weeks in a certain area...i guess that you could literally kill a new animal and only eat one day's worth of food in every area you go to and nothing is going to change....its not like you would have to 'go hunting' for a cow or chickens if you come across a farm and yea i guess i could see how canned food and shit would hold you over in the mean time, but still i think i would want to have at least some sort of 'fresh' food available to me.

I would first go home and spend a while fixing my van because I'm in no rush. Then I would fill the van with supplies to survive. I would also bring books, and a guitar and ukulele to learn. And then I would go on a cross country roadtrip around the U.S and visit every national park, beach, anywhere that just sounds interesting. If animals are still alive, I would start hunting and fishing and get a pet of some sort. Then after I finish the U.S I would go to other countries to explore. I would do this by finding a super expensive 30 something foot sailboat, take it, and start sailing around the world visiting every country. I would learn to kayak and surf, Master a couple intruments, and definietly summit a couple peaks. Life would be great and even better because there would be no light pollution so nothing but starry nights

Get a good shelter up in the N of the state. Gather food and water. Then find a better shelter with well, preferably farm land, gather equipment. Gather communication (I'd be constantly searching for other people) and military equipment. All terrain vehicle that is capable of taking a lot of extra fuel and all that. At some point before I feel satisfied with that stuff, I will need fapping material. Eventually that will get old and I will start off wandering, hopefully with a decent mobile communications set up. A few years of that and I'll likely become obsessed with making the perfect companion since I can't find anyone. Oh who am I kidding, I'm almost to that point now.

>Having been a farmer for four years, and gardener my whole life,

you are not a farmer. Farming is like royalty, you are born into it. Just because I know you are going to reply about how your hobby farm is a real farm, do me the favor and specify how many acres of crops you work, or how many head of livestock you manage. I am willing to bet that your "farming" is nothing more than a 20 acre hobby farm that you keep a garden and some cattle and horses (or goats, its always goats with you people) on.

Hate to break it to you but some people can have full fledged farms on 10 acres. Yes, I get it, you have a 400 acre + farm and it's been in your family for 600 years and 2000 generations and nobody knows the sorrow you've been through.

10-20 acres aren't necessarily a hobby. They can fully sustain a family and then some.

I would probably go to all the locations where the public isn't usually allowed to go. Sit in the Oval Office, search the inside of the "shed" at Area 51, go to the top of the Empire State Building and watch the sunset from the top floor. After going around the U.S and some of Canada, I would finally put that flight-sim knowledge to use and fly a plane across the Atlantic, and do the same shit in Europe and Asia. I would explore Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Palace of Versailles, go to Italy and get a Lamborghini or Porsche, I would probably spend some time in the Vatican pretending to be the Pope before leaving and driving extremely fast on the Autobahn just for the thrill of it, and spend my time exploring Europe's "secret locations" extensively. Then I would make my way into Asia, hitting the major cities and cultural sights along the way. I would probably spend some time in Istanbul and immerse myself in the vast history it offers. Finally after exploring the world and all it has to offer, I would most likely spend my time flying (if I could), driving, or sailing to anywhere and everywhere. The last place I would go is to Japan, and explore the remains of Akihabara, go up Tokyo tower etc, before finally ending my journey at the house of Kentaro Miura. I would most likely an hero there, but before I do....I would take a shit on his desk....because now I would never know the end to fucking Berserk!

You have me all wrong friend. My family is all farmers, I am not. I do have 32 acres that I keep cattle on, but I am the first to admit its a hobby farm and not a real farm.

>10-20 acres aren't necessarily a hobby. They can fully sustain a family and then some.

Assuming you have 20 tillable acres you are looking at less than 850 bushels of beans per year, since beans are around $9 a bushel that puts you at $7650 for a year before we consider any costs of production.

just to throw some more numbers out there, that comes to
>$11900 for corn
>$8690 for rye
>$5610 for wheat
>$3400 for tobacco
>$5000-$10000 depending on type, weather conditions, and amount of cuttings for hay
Again, not including any costs of production.


Now please post your goats and tell me about your "real" farm.

I'M not so sure.

On any account this hobby farming bullshit has got to go. So sick of everyone and their cousin buy 10 acres and a few chickens and pretending they are farmers. My local feed store that I have gone to since I was a boy turned into a "country store" and now sells nothing but clothes, over priced knives, bulk candy, and assorted "rustic" decor. I now get to drive an hour out of my way to the feed mill and buy it directly, and it's all thanks to the fucking hobby farmers.

>where would you go

I really have absolutely no idea. I would probably stay where I am for now. Spend some time in Southern Cascadia, probably. Maybe get bored with my surrounding and start doing the nomad things, make a settlement in different areas around the US.

>What's the first thing you'd loot?

Assuming I'm aware everyone is gone? Meat, and lots of it. Cure, smoke, and jerky what I can. Eat whatever fruits/veggies/baked goods off the shelf I can stomach to eat raw on my way to go collect it.

That shit will be fucking gone and I will probably never have that kind of variety in my life again. I'm actually pretty fine with a bland, samey diet, but that shit will get boring. Cook a few last meals with perishables.

Secondary to that would be breaking into/breaking animals out of pet stores and shelters in my area, because I'm not a dick and I would like to keep whichever ones take a liking to me. This might come first, depends on how much forewarning I have/how much of a shock this is to me. I'd probably be pretty depressed, honestly. I'm a recluse, but I like my social interaction, and family.

In a "well the spirit of the exercise is more about fun shit, you autist" kind of way, I mean, I'd probably break more shit for fun than I would loot for fun. I mean, why not, really? I have all the time in the fucking world to go grab whatever the fuck else I want.

I'd travel to the local health food tore, and stock up on medicine. Pharmacies will exist still obvs. but can you get good poop medicine at a pharmacy? Nope.

So I'd also visit every plant store, and grocery store for seeds that I'd scatter and revisit to brand with runes, telling the stories of our mythological idols and their powerlessness to save us. And about the trees themselves too,

My memory will be ancient trees that will carry on some of the ancient legacies. Like big juicy apples to die for. And the otter people will benefit from my herbalism knowledge. thousands of years from now.

When I find out that they're not I think I will cry. After some time this will settle. Now I would try to find some way to get all my music, seems pretty important as emotional support.
Find out how to hunt, skin, fish, cook etc. properly.
Then wait for spring and go to some fjords in Norway.

That would be horrible. In any case of that happening I would have to take over a farm and tend to the animals and harvest all alone.

Then I would take a truck, go to all the local malls and grab all the canned food and vegetables, plus rice and empty the drug stores of their antibiotics and other useful stuff.
