I agree with my future zombie hardened self.

Yeah, how did I forget about disease in London. Basically, in the event of a Zombie Apocalypse, I am pretty much funted living in London, aren't I?

Oh, and everyone, as soon as the apocalypse starts, don't forget to fill every container in your house, including your bath, with water. Last thing you want to do is die of dehydration during a zombie apocalypse.

But Stormrider...you,like jp (and myself to a lesser degree) are prepared...but many aren't,by burning these sorts of threads,that means they will have no way of educating themselves on how to become properly prepared...which means they'll all die..which..means less people to compete against for resources... ...yes..yes..burn all the threads...burn them now.

i'd do what ever i could to keep me and my family safe, and to thin the

Amen,Definitely stands head and shoulders above most films in the genre.

Love Shaun of the Dead.

All British Wargamers should head over to Warhammer World for a game, 'til things blow over.

Deal.

I shotgun using Necrons or Undead depending on whether it's fantasy or 40K.


Also, Fitzz, apparently the Hoover Dam could provide electricity to the surrounding area for about 10 years without maintenance, so if you could get there that might be an idea?

I'd have to watch Zombieland again, and hopefully by that time, Zombieland 2 aswell, and note everything down in it!

Or, i'd just go nuts, Braindead-style... Lawn Mower scene <3

*Sorts through his latest shipment of Ammo*

This is why the crux of my "plan" is to get to your house...I may be "prepared",but you my friend are anticipating.

This is next on my buy list. If all goes well, I will have this by June/July:
http://www.tactilite.com/models-uppers/tactilite-t2-.50-bmg/flypage.tpl.html

I feel slightly embarrassed, and ever so paranoid when I tell you this, but I managed to convince myself that if there was to be a zombie invasion I really should have a weapon to hand. So I don't have a gun licence, nor do I live near a conveniently placed store filled with shooty paraphernalia. Bu-ut, I do have a nice 33 inch long baseball bat at hand, should the need arise.

If it happened, I know my plan would probably revolve around meeting up with my girlfriend, and making a break for Dover. My family lives down that way, so It'd make sense. If I couldn't make it there for any reason, I think I'd probably find where me man Fitzz is (Atlanta apparently) and hole up with him. Afterall, getting to America can't be that hard, can it?

Ummm... I could bring Cookies?

Now, just to work out how I would pick up m girlfriend, commandeer a vehicle, drive to a port, avoid the zombie sailors, get a boat, sail to america, realise I've opened a whole can o' worms, commandeer ANOTHER vehicle, drive to Atlanta, find Fitzz, drive to JPs secret, and altogether awesome location, learn to shoot, have a drinking contest with Fitzz, grow a beard, live out zombie apocalypse with the calm knowledge that even if we did get attacked, the fact JP could arm a small army to the teeth would mean I wouldn't lose any sleep.

Job done.

Sounds like a solid plan my friend,only thing is you'll have to meet me in the Georgia Mountains...because I'm not going to stay anywhere near Atlanta when the zombies start to do their thing.
Once we link up however,it's off to jps for beer,beard growing and general apocalyptic good times.

I would need these items (Can't get them yet, but have most of them, just not firearms).

1. Crowbar- Killy, buildy, and all around a multi purpose tool.
2. Blowtorch and Propane: Fire, welding, weapon, light, etc.
3. Hunting bow: Silent, deadly, easily transported, low recoil
4. Road Flare: Signal, light source, fires, weapon
5. Shark suit: If it can stop a shark from biting into you, it will stop a zombie.
6. Clip Semi Auto Rifle: Primary weapon, good in a pinch, mountable add ons for multitude of excursions.
7: E-Tool: Shovel and CCW. What's not to love?
8: SMG: Small, compact, low recoil, great for heavy firefights.
9: Freeze-dried food: Food, sustenance.
10: Ribcraft boat: Well, I'm going to be protecting an island...

This plan was simple enough. I live on a man-made peninsula, so I would blow the bridge. The houses in my area are large, and mostly owned by old people, so we will take the wood for the barricades from them (Sorry old people). There can be sniper towers, as there are boats elevated to high positions and cranes, and make the barricades on the beaches. Using the shovels, we will build Viet-Kong style death pits all over the beaches, and a row of massive trenches. By this time, the Bird Sanctuary will have it's pond scavenged for water. This will serve as food (Animals) and water (Water from the pond). Use the gas from the cars (Seeing as how the island houses less than 200 people, we won't be needing them) to heat the houses during the winter. Animals will need to be killed, but some pets will be harmed. They might be safe, as long as they don't go outside the barrier. We will last as long as we can until the unbelievably rich guy comes with the heli to save us, and if he doesn't, we can kill fowl that wanders near us, and send a retrieval team to grab it.

I think about this stuff. HARD.

1. Crowbar- Killy, buildy, and all around a multi purpose tool.
2. Blowtorch and Propane: Fire, welding, weapon, light, etc. ..Can't weld with a blowtorch.
3. Hunting bow: Silent, deadly, easily transported, low recoil ...Crossbow is better,easier to aim and you don't have to worry about "pull" so much.
4. Road Flare: Signal, light source, fires, weapon ...Get a zippo.
5. Shark suit: If it can stop a shark from biting into you, it will stop a zombie. ...true,but it weighs a ton,leather clothes are a bit better.
6. Rugger Mini-14--sorted.
7: E-Tool: Shovel and CCW. What's not to love?
8: SMG: Small, compact, low recoil, great for heavy firefights. ...Eats ammo,go for a reliable handgun as back up.
9: Freeze-dried food: Food, sustenance. ...MREs are tasty and portable.
10: Ribcraft boat: Well, I'm going to be protecting an island...



I think about this stuff. HARD.

I think about it alot too.

If we prepare for Zombies, it's gonna be Captain Tripps.

If we prepare for Captain Tripps, it's gonna be Meteor from Space.

If we prepare for Meteor from Space, it's gonna be Skynet.

And so on.

My problem is, why would I want to live in the world after the trauma? I
doubt I'd have the strength to (in the words of Cormac McCarthy)
"carry the fire."

A Zombie Plan? Of course not!

I have 37 different Zombie Plans! Why do you think I carry a shotgun with me at all times?!

I actually only have 4, but I won't disclose them at the current time.

I don't know Malf,the idea of just "giving up" never occurred to me.
Living in a post apocalyptic world would have it's drawbacks...but IMO it beats the hell out of not living at all.

Damn straight.

Of course I do. Hell, I know a few of the DAKKITES plans from previous zombie threads.

Guns. Bullets. Food supply. Then when it dies out after a month or so, Id start to build something like this


With a whole lot of THIS!



To make even more -O- THAT!

Agreed with FITZZ. Not only that Malf, but when someone pisses you off/queers a deal on you, you can just shoot them in the face in a world like that

Money would mean nothing in the Zompocalypse.

Says you. Bottle caps, candy corn, whatever the MONEY is after the world goes to hell, is what Ill be rolling in. And if you survive and find my wonder land of awesomeness.....just remember not to correct me
