Survivalists & their "Positive" view of TSHTF!

[MCBushbaby]

So here's your scenario, it's like the "Stephen King" book without the Satanic bad guy. 90% of the world's population is gone, as is it's infra-structure. Oddly enough, The whole Wolf-Pack has survived as well as the internet, electricity(for now), all utilites. However there is no Law enforcement or military to protect you. What are you going to do? What new threats do you see as lurking on the horizon?

If everything is still the same and only the humans are affected/gone/displaced...

step 1) food/water/shelter, you know, basics. This should be easy as you will have more than a couple year's worth of supplies you can scavenge from the supermarket (canned, no perishable) and your home with act as a decent enough shelter for the rest of your life. Water will need to be purified as noone is at the wastewater plant cleaning your pond scrapings.
step 2) Enjoy the freedom. Light a bag of poop on your neighbor's doorstep, steal wings from the Hooters downtown, piss on a police cruiser, set up your rec room in the grandest, most ostentatious courtroom in town.
step 3) ... profit?

Honestly unless I'm playing in a mineshaft and come up to see the world has reverted back 2000 years, anyone could survive the rest of their days comfortably with the remains of human civilization. Now, change the scenario to 3 generations from teotw and that'll be a fun discussion.

oh,
step 4) guns. Keep roving rednecks from stealing from my jeep.

I suppose my solution is simpler than most because I'll be a hermit. Sick of people anyway. I'll be like a male bear; solitary, rugged, powerful, seeking others only to mate, then retreating back to my courtroom rec room.

Mitch, psssst, come here. (whispers) Do you know how many cops are on this forum. Don't want to be peein' on the cruiser. They might just be inside the store looting stuff and then when they come out and catch you with your pants down, where you gonna be? (shakes his head slowly). Got to come up with a new plan.

I'm going to take one day and drill open safe deposit boxes just because I can! Ride through town in a fire engine with the siren blaring and loot the liquor store of all the good stuff. Food? I don't need no sticking food.

I'd have a smile on my face too if I had a twinkie,LMAO!!

[nell67]

In James Clavell's books he would do that. 1/4 through the book, just as you were relating to the hero, the hero would die of some accident.

Dude tell your parents the meds are not working for ya. Don't answer the door it's the Feds do you know what you just confessed to? If you were in the real world you would be in big trouble young man, and Bubba and Leroy in the cell with you will be real and they will not be any more impressed with your fantasies then I am. Congrats on inventing a new caliber 308 British? OK how are you going to start a farm that would involve work , real work not behind a key board, Armored travel trailer, .50 BMG Oh my god you are a funny little guy, Five min at BCT would wreck you.

You should give up the 420, Marcraft. It's starting to affect your brain.
