Zombie plans

[valtr0n]

It's a lot simpler than that.

Only semi truck drivers use the weigh station, everyone else just drives on by. It's not a place that's going to attract much of anyone or anything. It's located in such a rural area, there are no homes nearby. It's an interstate, winding through a national forest, with a 100-acre private fenced farm behind the Weigh Station.

The occasional zombie won't be an issue, I'm sure.

[razz]

trust me. it will be

[Erin]

Our plan (my group) is to head to the Weigh Station on the interstate. It's two brick layers thick, barred windows, steel door. Also, since it's on the interstate, we can rob anyone who passes by and take their supplies. It's extremely fortified, on the edge of the woods (which we have the run of already... we hunt and shoot on the woods directly behind the Weigh Station.) This is just a generic plan for any cataclysm. It'll work well for zombies. Lots of open area, nice fortified small structure, woods that we know to retreat to...

Sure, my plan includes killing and robbing survivors as well as zombies, but any good plan has to.

Even in a rural area like this, with a population county-wide of something like 25,000+/-, there simply isn't enough sustainable goods for that many people. In a world-changing event, even if 90% of the population dies quickly, that still leaves 2500+/- in this area. There is not enough renewable food to support 2500+/- immediately. In the future as times change and the world renews itself, sure. But in the weeks proceeding an event, the need for food is going to be peaked. And there simply isn't enough.

Even if a zombie apocalypse occurs, I'd wager if you want to survive you'll be killing as many survivors as you will zombies. At least for the first few weeks, if not months.

This post is why I said this back in Feb.

For those of you who know him, if there is ever a zombie outbreak, I'm driving the one hour drive to Valtr0n's house. He will protect me with his arsenol of weapons.

I'll be awaiting your arrival. Weigh station on the left of I-64 East, a little past mile marker 147. Those are your directions to survival.

And razz, I assure you, zombies won't even be an issue. I know for sure there will be at least 3 of us, all armed with thousands of rounds, capable of making a headshot every time. There won't be so many zombies in the area that we can't kill them.

You've been thinking of your zombie plan for awhile now, haven't you Val?

[William50]

The only plan I have for a zombie take-over is to hide under my bed. I feel safe under there!

[Matt]

I have a zombie plan, it involves taking over the entire cole de sac.

It'll take a while for this thing to go rural.

[LadyHitchhiker]

my brother plans on buying a house with a zombie-proof basement, stocked with a multitude of food, booby traps and weapons so I can just go hang out with him until the crisis ends.

Oh! he's building a zombie-killing mech as well!

[valtr0n]

Brice, I just like having an all-purpose plan. It'll work for just about anything. Zombies are just a bonus in my book. They'll just be live targets that I won't have to feel bad about shooting recreationally.

Realistically, and I can't stress this enough, in any catastrophe, the real trouble is going to come from other people. People, even ones you trust, gum up the works. It's best to keep groups small, tight-knit, avoid others or places you might find others, and don't hesitate to kill or at least wound anyone or anything you don't recognize.

LadyHitchhiker, you'll need something renewable if you plan on surviving for long. Even a huge storage of food will run dry eventually, and maybe too soon, depending on what kind of event we're talking about.

[razz]

i think i may just arm myself to the teeth, take my dog, a kill everything else i see. ceuz everytone else will probably just kill me for whatever i have.

[LadyHitchhiker]

i think we will build the house on a farm

[Raron]

And there are species of edible mushrooms that grow underground, Insects are edible and also the plan I like to call "Mount up on the mech, step on everything moaning, walk to town, and pillage" of course that is short term, long term... well that is what building and underground civilization which I will be the mayor of is for. My campaign slogan will be.
I Have A Mech And You Don't.

[LadyHitchhiker]

Oooooooh you have one post, Raron...

If I have to choose between eating insects and the zombies. To hell with it...I'll join the zombies.

well here's the thing. Many viruses are unable to survive certain conditions. they need a certain blood pH, or they die, or the heart rate needs to be of a certain speed. too fast and they die. first thing's first. test on birds. if they survive, farm them.

The best laid plans often go awry.

If any of you are truly worried about a disaster, whether it be zombies, floods, famine, economic collapse, prepare for it now. All the rhetoric in the world won't save you when the time comes and you simply aren't ready.

Because once the time comes, it's too late. You're gonna have to live with what you've got at the moment or what you can get down the road.

[Brice]

Then most of us are basically fucked.

[razz]

luckily i won't be a phoner. i don't have or use a cell

[theBeamisHome]

my cell phone is never more than ten feet away from me... it's like an umbilical cord.. i'd definitely be a phonie.

[LadyHitchhiker]

What do you do if the zombies are like the phoners in Cell and can read your mind?

I hate to be crude but they'd all be having sex with each other and reading...

Oh and writing parodies and rescuing animals...

Poor them.

Indeed. That's why our friends tagged our house as the place to be. Sounds like we'll need to establish contact later - DT.com Tet 1 and DT.com Tet 2.

Poor them.

Poor them indeed. Still, more interesting than a dead bee.

One of our lookouts is seen here.

[LadyHitchhiker]

If zombies take over I am going to one of your houses and hope you are not taken over by the virus...

[Brice]

I think if the zombies did manage to get to Val and he still understood how to use his arsenal we're all pretty much screwed.
