Only spreads by bites? That's not going very far. If I was father Nurgle, it would be spread in the air/water as well as bites. Then I am satisfied.


exactly. if it is ever anything,it will be rabies.

I just wouldn't count on being able to go steal crap from people, looters tend to get shot rather quick, and people will get a tad defensive of what they do have.

I love end of the World movies and stuff like that, just got done watching Jericho, but I tend to think things will be more like "The Road", and I gotta admit my will to live would plummet really damn fast in that situation, just so...bleak.

Don't get me wrong, I take self defense seriously, and your not taking what I own without a fight, but wanton murder of people looting Walmart for made in china crap is not my concern, not to mention, you know, it's murder still. And no matter how big of a dog you think you are, there is always a bigger one, like the National Guard.

Unless your implying you are in the National Guard, and look forward to shooting looters....


err..nope,not in the guard here. as for the bigger dog,i know when i cant win,thats why ill always have a plan b.

that does bring up the quesion. the hell is wrong with the military in zombies things? they always get over run very...easily in my opinion.

Though I did 8yrs in the military, I honestly wonder how many of my former coworkers, across all branches, would really stick around and fight it out and not bail and run for home to protect their families.


this.THIS. this answered the question how the military would ever loose. cause instead of sticking as a powerful group and fighting til them undead be dead,the men run home to defend the useless civilians.

never thought of that as a reason before. thanks

Both are acceptable if need be, my main point is that the world is filled with paper, so I don't see "what to wipe with" being a huge issue.
Now...where to gak...that's the issue, some form of sanitation (if occupying an area for a long term) must be kept up, can't let waste pile up in the corner.
Of course, utilizeing waste as fertilizer would be an option.


fertilizer?!?!? ewww.....human crap isnt good for that stuff,at least not as much as cow and other animals...

Not as good, but can be utilized for compost...have to work with what you have, and the ability to grow ones food as well as hunt/fish are going to be extreamlly important skills when all the super markets are swarming with dead folk.


true...but if your in the city or some place tight in space,you dont have room/time for growing stuff.

Now, if you can cultivate the proper mold spores and make antibiotics we're in good shape.


Due to the rampant overuse of antibiotics by the Western world, the inferior form of Penicillin you would get from mold spores would likely be very ineffective, but, beats dying from a rusty nail so worth a shot.

Thing with looting houses is, that stuff has a shelf life, and alot of the "good" stuff requires refrigeration or it spoils.

I was reading a interesting way on how to make insulin via pig pancreases, but like most drugs, our bodies may not react very well to these weaker forms.



yeah,america does over use that crap. in bad ways to. druggies! already some of those old ones dont work and scientists have to come out with new ones. also now a days evry drug seems to have sevral side affects that if they happen,you might as well of not taken it in the 1st place.

Also, Ill offer my services for lobbing off body parts if infections set in. I can whittle a mean peg leg

ok,if you want to be safe,you do this.

stay out of cities and towns.

go deep into a large forest/jungle.

go to a place only accessible by water.

try to do these thing,although most likely cant do all. if these rules dont keep you safe,your most likely screwed anyways.

add a ladder and you could drop a scavenging team down grab stuff and quickly depart.

after the base is done i will lead a scavenging team form the airship while you have a base add a farm and a ramshackle wall and we might even survive in a cute community!?


better yet. fething huge helicopter. the fort sounds good,just have to be thick walled and make sure no nut jobs let them in as part of some cult
