10 Ways Life Would Suck as the Last Person on Earth


there is definitely such a thing as too
much peace and quiet
welcome to watchmojo.com for their take
on living as the last person alive with
tips on how to survive all by yourself
for this list we’re looking at the
biggest downsides to waking up one
morning and discovering that you’re the
only human on the planet number 10
finding shelter your search for a safe
place to hunker down could take you
anywhere since there will be no
guarantee of long-term structural
stability in major cities without people
to maintain large buildings they’ll
eventually fall into disrepair becoming
dangerous unstable and uninhabitable
they also want to have much of a water
supply or any electricity and you run
the risk of gas and pipe leaks with
nobody around to fix them with that in
mind the best shelter may be a mobile
one a large vehicle of some kind
provided you could find enough car
batteries and fuel a vehicle would also
give you access to electricity
number 9 maintaining clothes clothing is
another cheap concern but you better
ditch any cares you might have had for
looking fashionable you will want
comfortable warm and all-weather threads
you’ll be so busy roaming the empty
streets looking for other resources that
this probably won’t be the first thing
on your mind initially finding new clean
clothes to wear and abandoned stores
will be easy but if you venture further
away from cities you’ll want to learn
how to mend your own clothes and start
doing laundry by hand which takes a lot
more time and energy than you might
think
number 8 scavenging food there are only
so many five-star fry ups you can make
until fresh ingredients run out so you
better make the most of them in those
first few days after that it’s time to
start planning your meals carefully once
the electricity cuts all the fridges and
freezers will switch off so you’ll need
to grab as much canned food and as many
long-life products as you can carry this
also applies to bottled water as
filtration systems will break down too
and you might end up far away from a
reliable source of clean water if
eventually you should learn how to farm
but until you get that down pat you’ll
need as much stockpiled food as possible
number seven traveling we’ve already
mentioned that you might find yourself
taking shelter in a vehicle like a van
truck or ideally an RV but this isn’t
without its own hindrances constantly
being on the move may be a good plan as
you continually pill for stores and
houses for essential resources but
navigating the roads might not be so
easy depending on the nature of this
particular apocalypse the roads might be
full of empty cars making getting
anywhere a lot harder there’s also the
matter of fuel you’ll have to learn how
to siphon it out of other vehicles
number six dangerous wildlife without us
animal populations will undoubtedly
flourish humans won’t be there to
regulate livestock or hunt and escaped
house pets will start breeding and
slowly going feral some zoo animals
might eventually break out leaving
exotic creatures prowling the city
streets this will make them even
deadlier places to go back to though
they may hold the most fruitful
opportunities to scavenge for food in
desperate times a world without people
could be great for animals with their
habitats no longer under siege by human
experience but dangerous for a lone
survivor number five the need for
weapons now that wildlife has free reign
you’ll need some way to hunt or at least
defend yourself from predators that
means getting your hands on some weapons
which is easier said than done depending
on what country you’re in
lots of nations have such strict
regulations on guns and even without
people to guard them it won’t be easy to
break in to police stations or military
bases to access powerful firearms if you
don’t know how to use a gun you might
have to teach yourself on the fly number
four the lack of medical care
the combination of unfamiliar firearms
and unpredictable animals could easily
lead to injury and in a world with no
working hospitals or doctors even in
every day wound could be deadly the
manufacturer of drugs and medicine will
have stopped a long time ago and most
medical supplies that still exist will
sport a use by date on a plus side there
won’t be any other humans to spread
dangerous disease but there will also be
no one else to help you should you fall
ill even if you happen to be a doctor
yourself
there’s no
guarantee you’d be able to fix whatever
injuries you suffer without help number
three accessing information with nobody
else around it’ll only be a matter of
hours until the entire internet goes
dead making gathering the necessary
survival information a million times
harder sure there are libraries but
there are only so many books you can
carry around with you and who’s to say
how many you’ll have to read before you
find the answer to a simple but vital
question without the ability to do a
quick google search finding out
something basic like how to filter water
how to build a campfire or how to
hotwire a car
becomes a huge chore number two
entertainment when all the surviving is
out of the way though you might find
yourself struggling to find something to
do your entertainment options will be
seriously limited game consoles
televisions DVD players even VHS players
won’t function and you won’t be able to
go to the movies or see a play for
entertainment either your best bet might
be hooking up a TV and DVD player to a
car battery but could you really afford
to waste power on frivolous things like
that sure you’d still have books and
board games although you’d only have
yourself to play against but digital
entertainment would definitely be missed
number one loneliness in the end you
could do precious little to combat the
loneliness it’s one of the biggest
concerns anyone would have when
entertaining the idea of being the last
person alive the daily determination to
keep yourself healthy might dominate
your thoughts but your primary purpose
will also be your only one because
you’ll have nobody to socialize with
laugh with talk to and nobody to listen
to your end of the world anecdotes all
in all even if you do manage to face all
the other challenges the hardest thing
might just be not losing your mind do
