Would a red line comment be made?

As spoken before, I'm also Canadian so no quick direct access to any firearms at least in my vicinity so I'd be at a strict disadvantage. Most I could do is douse myself in maple syrup in a summoning ritual and hope that the woodland critters will aid me in my sticky plight against the undead.

Am I the only person with two chainsaws, four swords, a shovel, two pair of hedge clippers and more firearms then the Canadian army?

Come on people, stay calm and kill zombies!

It may seem sad, but a friend and myself came up with an entire Zombie outbreak survival plan for ourselves and our friends and families over several game's of MTG and a barbeque.

That said we have also come up with plans for storming Parliament and taking over Britain, holding invading Russian forces from advancing and giving the regular army time to respond and a few other crazy scenarios.

You know, there are government agencies with entire departments that do that. Sounds like a job opportunity.

They say that "..if your ready for a zombie apocalypse, you are ready for almost any natrual desater.."
Me, i have enouth tined food make up, unfinnishe projects and bottled water to last me at lest two month, by which time things should have died down

Guns are really difficult to get in the UK, so I'd have a serious problem defending myself

Broom handle, duct tape and a long kiten knife. Got your self a pike

A zombie would probably bite it in half.

what crappy broom handles do you pinck...liberate from work
Be sides in a conflict like a zombie out brake you would have to start pulling out the old greek and roman play book.
"Guns for show, Knifes for pros." as sayith Soap

I think I'd throw knife at the zombies. Not too practical but it looks cool.

Ah, so a ninja could sort of work...... still going to need full riot gear and a wall shield and some mates to form up around you while you take to using the Mr Friendly stick of persation lol

Yea but you have castles. The closest thing we have are old Spanish missions, or really tall pickup trucks.

Plus our houses are made of brick, so we would all have safe places to hide.

And we have massive department stores like B & Q, so there are plenty of places to buy gardening equipment. Shovels are excellent zombie weapons.

I might not have a gun, but I can go plenty medieval on them with my broadsword.

Thank God someone got a Shaun of the Dead reference in, reading through the first few posts I was beginning to lose faith. The answer to Zombie invasion: The Winchester.

On a more serious note, my house has a pair or replica swords (that, while blunt, will still do heck of a lot of damage) and a collection of axes and knives, we do a fair bit of survival camping ect and if all else fails, our walls are 2 foot thick brick. I think the hardest part would actually be killing the zombies. I mean, if they're still recognisable as people you know, that could get very rough, especially if there was some chance of a cure somewhere.

Why is it the Brits have bunkers masquerading as houses, while here in tornado/hurricane/deathstorm land we have rickety wood frames? How does one get a two foot thick brick house?

Its called a LARP group combined with a Norman reanacment group (I have both)

Because in Britain every mans house is his castle. Besides, we need to be prepared for the inevitable storm of a certain someones Weiner legions

In fairness, the house is nearly 200 years old, and was originally built as a pub, so most modern houses are much thinner, even over here. You do raise a good point, though, the worst weather/danger we have over here is really flooding, which in comparison to tonados and hurricanes is not that bad. Strange.

When I retire I intend to get a house built with masonry and steel reinforced concrete. No gak. I've been through tornadoes and hurricanes and am a self admitted absolute weather wimp. After all, Team Wienie only stands three inches off the ground. We're vulnerable to flooding....

Your house was originally a pub? Son you get a bonus sticker on your Mancard for that.

(pubs are fortified there in Britain, makes sense, we will fight them on the beaches, we will fight them in the women's fashion section, we will fight them in the pubs..)

I think I have an answer that would work of everyone.

No, because the point about an apocalypse is that almost everybody dies, and the chances are I am of them.

Make sure before you die you hand paint/print a white t-shirt with your Dakka name on it
