    On the pro side, I live in southern California where I’m not going to have problems surviving the weather, even without electricity. I don’t get bored easily, I like to read, and I’d probably entertain myself exploring. As others mentioned, food probably is not an issue, though I’d have to make sure I got the right combination of proteins and amino acids once meat wasn’t available (or bring myself to hunt).

    On the con side, I’m in my early 60s and, though I’m reasonably healthy, it’s only going to be so long before I have some health condition that, if nothing else, makes it hard for me to go out and about for food.

      The only issue I’d have is mental health. Pets can only ease the need for social needs to a certain extent.

        I would miss my wife and kids horribly, but I’m one of those folks who always feels kind of alone, even when around other people, so I think I’d be okay.
