Yeah my plan (dream) has always been like this:
- Use the internet while I have it (assuming people just all disappear suddenly) to download survival guides, solar panel repair/installation PDFs, maps, etc. Anything I can think of, I’ll download
- Gas only lasts so long. I can use chemicals that extend it, but it’s definitely limited. I’d start with a gas powered truck and eventually move into electric vehicles. Batteries aren’t forever either… But I’d try.
- I’d move to a warm, temperate climate
- I’d find a building that claims it is powered by solar panels most of the year. I’d use that as my home
- I’d immediately begin trying to farm. I have a black thumb so this would take me some years to get done correctly. But I’d hopefully have some potatoes and grain growing by the end of a year
- In the meantime, I might find things to occupy my time such as: finding videogames to play, raising chickens, fishing, collecting guns/ammo, collecting books to preserve, storing solar panels, backup equipment, etc.
My end goal would be to survive as long as I’m happy. I’m pretty introverted so that would last a while. I’d use animals to keep me company. I believe nature would take us over pretty quickly. It would be hard to maintain the house, solar, etc. forever. But if I could, I would.
My wife and I already do a lot of foraging in our area and we have several guides for edible food. We also do some canning and prepping for disasters.
I don’t think a disaster would be a picnic. People are the problem. But if they disappeared suddenly, I think it would be pretty livable.

AI would be really useful in this scenario. Have a whole internet’s worth of information at your disposal with a fraction of the storage costs.
Probably still want the actual manuals and guides for the important stuff tho…

without humans to keep it going the internet’s going bye bye quickly.
I mean like, a local model. Hence the benefit of having the info at a fraction of the storage cost.
