Armageddon

[s7ephanie]

There's no-one else there?

Just me and the 2 fur babies

 

[perplexed]

I'd keep well clear of any suspiciously large plants.
The apple tree hasn't made any hostile moves yet, but I've got my eye on it.

I'd quickly re-read Wyndham's 'Day of the Triffids'.

All the answers are in there...

 

[Drago]

Fair point. You'd want to read DoTT, Earth Abides, and watch Survivors to be able to get handy tips

I would top myself, being that lonely is not something I could endure.

I think I would too but slowly by trying to drink my way out of a distillery

You've woken up, the World has ended. That is to say everyone has karked it from some mysterious cause, but you've survived and the place is intact and not ravaged by nuclear fire.

Where will you go? What will you do? What will you eat and drink? Would you pinch that nice Cervelo from the bike shop?

I would probably kill myself too as I'm a social creature and I couldn't bear to live without other people.

Survived the fireworks not so much armageddon more apocalypse now ! the river Lot at Puy-l' Eveque will take a while to recover, as will my head. Red wine, l love it but must learn to pace myself No real damage done although some trees in the town went up in flames so the sapeurs pompiers had a happy time .

They'll keep you company.

 

[AndyRM]

I'd probably head for a small Hebridean island sharpish.

The nuclear bunker, reserved for the council, if things were bad. Otherwise stay on top, and just keep going.

All those places that you aren't allowed to enter/go on, suddenly there's no-one to stop you. See what they were hiding.

Any in particular?

I think any would do, I'd have liked to say one on Islay but I can't sail a boat.

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

Surely the question is, what's the ideal bike to "acquire"? A sleek carbon road bike for quickly getting away from nuclear zombies or a mountain bike for getting out to the wilderness? A hybrid, trike, fat bike? What's the best post-apocalypse tyres?

i'd go for -

Surly long haul trucker. Steel is easy to weld if repairs are needed, loads of loading points for panniers/shotguns.

I'd hole up in my shelter along with my underground storage of 20 years worth of extra long life food. Power by my vast solar array, water from bore hole, arsenal of weapons, collection of transportation and satellite communications bank. Once I was sure the immediate danger was over then I'd emerge to survey my world and gloat. This would likely be short lived as I'd fall victim to a clumsy accident requiring medical assistance which isn't there. At least I'd be able to have a laugh at the end as to how a little cut had turned septic and killed me.

Bow mount within easy reach.

Now that's what I'm talking about!
