It was only -15C today, with almost no wind and just a whole bunch of snow. That was pretty normal winter weather. It was a nice respite from the -30C weather of the day before.
I’m in my finals week. I still have three more exams in next week or so before I completely finish. I’ve been watching Survivors, a British TV series that was remade recently by the BBC. The original series aired from 1975 to 1977.
The premise is pretty familiar. A plague is tel loose and kills 95% of the world’s population. A tiny percentage are left alive and have to learn to live again without technology.
What would you do if you woke up one morning to find everyone dead and knowing full well that electricity and the modern conveniences would slowly break down?
I’d take my Arc’Teryx clothes and backpack, pack up a few supplies and head south on my mountain bike. Things would be pretty bad if this happened in winter. Without any heating, everyone would die quickly of exposure.
The best option would probably entail getting a rugged 4×4, like a LandRover Defender, and stocking it up with fuel, food and essentials and heading south. I’d stop at an outdoor’s shop and stock up on camping gear. Lugging around a small motorcycle would also be useful. Most probably a trailer of some sort would be essential.
