Last Person on Earth

Eschuk, a user on the social media site Reddit, has created a detailed survival plan in response to the question, "If you became the last person on Earth, what would you do? Realistically."  The plan is divided into 8 phases detailing what to do in case "the grid" goes down and there is no longer electricity or internet.  It contains practical advice such as how to secure your food supply (Eschuk recommends using Sysco refrigerator trucks to create a freezer farm) as well as your home compound (don't forget to paint chain link fences to prevent them from rusting).  

Eschuk reminds readers of the plan to take into account the need for sanity saving recreation.  He offers ideas about joy riding in fancy sports cars before the gas in them goes stale--a process that takes about two years.  While his plan may seem harsh and pessimistic, he treats the humanity of our last representative as the most precious commodity--urging that person not to risk suffering a prolonged death by keeping the means for suicide nearby at all times.
