"You're the last person left on Earth (supposedly)"
Do you stay in America and if you leave the country how are you getting away?
Watching The Last Man on Earth, he's in Arizona. I think I'd want to be around water not the desert, I don't know how to fly planes or sail boats though, I may be stuck in this country.

depending on where you are in AZ you've either got plenty of water or you're fucked.

Largest supply of naturally-occurring clean water in the country (maybe the world?).
I'd find a fuckload of jugs and store up for winter like the proverbial squirrel. Put em all in a big-ass truck, go farther south for months October-April, then back up to Crater Lake.

I get it though ... crossing oceans and distance could be a challenge... I don't know though.. I'd find a way and make like Brian Wilson.. "I get around"
maybe Horse.. unless gas was in abundance and pumps were working.

places in the world, right here. I'd go on a tour of the national parks, scheduling it with the most favorable weather possible for each location. I'd make race tracks out of the biggest cities' downtown areas, that shit would be so fun.

There really would be no point in leaving America. Everything that you'd think is wrong with the country wouldn't exist anymore.
I'd move to an area where things like snow wouldn't be a huge hindrance for me to do certain things in. Would have to be water near by and also an area for me to hunt a multitude of different animals that I'd even consider to be edible and decent in the first place.
You may be good because the animal population would increase significantly since you'd be the only one hunting.
If I had a good means of travel it would be best to set up a living area in each state you travel to frequently in case shit gets rough you can shack up for the night.
I love stuff like this lol.

like electricity, gas, and water would still run if I would be the last person on earth. I doubt I'd want to leave the US since traveling on water would seem to be too dangerous a prospect being alone. I suppose I'd have to get my hunting game up to par since I'd imagine animals would be very plentiful since urban areas would be obsolete. And reading up on farming would have to be a necessity as well.

it shows what would happen on earth if every human disappeared. i was looking at the timeline on the link below which gives you a highlight of what they said would happen. this is what the last person on earth would have to look forward to.

I'll give Netflix a search when I get home tonight. I am curious if basic utilities would still function in the lone human on earth situation. I'm guessing no since folks do with for gas/electric/water companies for a reason.

I mean they pretty much can run themselves I heard but I'm sure something will happen and when the meltdown I don't want to be anywhere near one of them.

suppose to just man itself? what happens if inclement weather comes along while you sleep? suppose you hit a rift and float in the opposite direction and never realize it...too much can go wrong.
but you could go to South America...that's also considered "international"

I don't need to go international.
For what? So I could tell my imaginary friends I finally saw Peru?
Nah, I'm keeping it local. 48 states and I would prolly never go above VA, DC area.

Crossing the sea is too damn risky because of everything that could go wrong.
Why would I move somewhere with animals when I'm essentially food to them?
I'd move to Portland and build a fortress. First few year would be doing any and everything like the show.
I'd chill in the White House for a month. Maybe spend one day in every mansion on the west coast. I'm aggressively repurposing everything I can find. I'd have a warehouse full of Tesla batteries on deck. Their powerwalll charger facility is getting raided.
41. "1. Most ppl wouldn't truly believe they are the ONLY person..." In response to Reply # 38
there will always be this hope that there is someone else somewhere, so that hope makes them want to hold on 2. A lot of ppl are still scared of dying. Period. 3. If you decide to cross the ocean and aren't prepared, you will die a horrible death. Nothing like being lost as sea, and starving. OR trying to fly a plane and not knowing what you're doing when certain things happen, and crashing and burning or drowning.
44. "sure but if you think about it" In response to Reply # 41
drowning or crashing is probably a better easier way to go that trying to ride out a terminal illness with nobody else in the world...
i guess you could just keep a bullet for when you need it..
the whole idea that I might not be the last person would be a reason to K.I.M. and search.. yeah I'd probably exhaust land options first... I'm just saying.. life is hard and in an empty world it'd be hella harder and lonely.. personally.not sure how long my desire to survive or fear of death would last.
46. "i mean there 1000s of ways to kill yourself..." In response to Reply # 44
so if nothing else, you get a terminal illness, you can hang yourself. no bullets necessary. I think about all the different aspects of my life (including wearing contacts/glasses) and I realize i would probably never be prepared to do it alone...because I definitely wouldn't fly. And I don't have the faith in myself to sail that far.
However, I might would try short distances to see how I fair...like to close islands to see what I discover...but personally, i couldn't do it. I just hope if anyone else is around, they aren't a chicken and they come this way.

Looking for survivors in a lawless post-apocalyptic environment is a very risky proposition. It depends of course if the person/people you meet are collaborative or combative. Given my POV on how selfish folks are in this orderly society, I'd want to survive on my own in an extreme environment like the one posted in the original message.

55. "i don't think it would be as risky as tv/movies makes it seem..." In response to Reply # 54
i think one on one, a person would be fine...there really is no reason to kill the only other person you come into contact with off the top. especially if they are the ones traveling looking for someone else to come into contact with...because if that person was a loner and didn't want to be bothered, he or she would stay close to their own area. a person venturing has hopes to encounter someone else most likely.
of course we wouldn't know until we were in that position but my first thought wouldn't be "this is risky business"

50. "the point is to live as long as possible" In response to Reply # 38
at least that is my theory.
and going out into the ocean with limited water, food and huge whale animals and shit just doesn't seem like a smart idea.

53. "yeah.. i guess I don't know what my goal would be... life would be..." In response to Reply # 50 Fri Sep-11-15 02:55 PM by PG
day to day...
foods going to spoil... electricity will be non-existant along with pretty much all infrastruture.. things might be cool for a minute but it'd deteriorate pretty dam quick unless you know your primitive survival on some naked and afraid champ type level..
you gonna be sitting at your fire living for the next can of alphaghetti or scarios you find...
you right of course.. fucking with the ocean is totally insane especially on some going to cross it ish as opposed to paddling out to the bay to fish... it's all a matter of what you're living for and how attached you are to continuing that i guess.. some things might be dangerous but with nothing really to lose and nobody counting on me.. i'm bored.. i'm lonely.. sure I'll blow something up for fun... sure I might try flying a plane.. folks crash those and live too... there must be some pleasure in life or it gets old.. in this setting it could get old quick imo.
42. "I would likely wonder around..." In response to Reply # 0
but I would find a map, find a car, fill it with food, (non pershables), and ride down the coast. I'd definitely visit South America, visit different countries, enjoy the sites. But this is really dependent on what happened to the world and what position I am in but one would have to have weapons and foods and a way to get around.
but i wouldn't go to europe or asia or africa...even if i did read about how to fly/boat, i wouldn't trust myself to be able to handle that all the time. especially boating...so many skilled captains have been lost at sea. nah i will just stay on this side of the world.

give me land, food, water and I'm good driving around America.
No way I'm going to a hot ass climate in S. America so I can get bit by a bug and die.

57. "its things in N.A. that could kill you too! " In response to Reply # 51
i mean, what else you got to do? you could go state to state and chill if you wanted to but eventually you might get bored, then you'd be like...what else is there? Canada and Mexico...I actually like warm weather so I'd be somewhere near a beach...but then again, without the weather ppl letting me know what's up, i might end up dying in a hurricane.
59. "I honestly don't think most humans would last long" In response to Reply # 0
even if you found food, water, etc, the loneliness would destroy your mind over time. maybe i'm wrong, but i don't think i could live for too long without any people at all.
