I completely agree with that. My only vice when it happens will be lack of potato chips after awhile. But the best part is, when theres about 10k zombies between me and the closest bag of Lays, Ill just have to do without. Good diet plan zombies

Other then that Ill be rocking. Even being stuck in my house for a spell Ive planned where we will actually "live" and what parts Ill fortify (yes thats ready at a moments notice, no Im not joking ) Even in my modest house, my family will be safe at least for awhile. Then its all about planning for the move to the "zombie bunker" down the road.

I'm going to say that a map will be the one of the most necessary things that a person can have, being capable of avoiding areas where one knows that zombies will be is a great advantage commonly overlooked, now, here's the question:

Alone or with a small/large group, while each has its own perks and advantages, I think I would stick with only one or two other people, just to be safe...

Fire is very dangerous. You cannot control fire. Fire could help you, yes, it could help you very much. However, fire could also severely back fire and destroy you, your shelter, your equipment and supplies, and so forth. Also, flame throwers are super high maintenance weapons, which is one reason why they are not used really anymore. A high powered automatic shotgun can clear a room as good as a flame thrower, and not have all the downsides a flame thrower has, like blowing up on your back and setting your own dudes on fire.

Personally I'd opt for a small group of useful individuals,those with combat/firearm skills,hunting/survival/first aid/medical/improvised explosives and lap dances...people with these skills would be much sought after for my team.

The Slave-Maker ant is so named because it raids the nest of other ants and steals their pupae. Once the pupae hatch, they are made to work as slaves.
Barbie's full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts.
American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one olive from each salad in first class.
This is my plan.

That's outstanding...playing Trivial Pursuit should make for a fun distraction as the world is consumed and by the looks of it you'll be ready when the game board comes out.

Hmm, I'd also like for a heartless/logical thinking individual who is capable of putting down another member should they become bitten, I would not like having their (infected) blood on my hands if one of my friends was bitten. Though as soon as they became a zombie, I'd probably kill them in a heartbeat anyway...

Yeah...that would be one of the most difficult aspects to face,having to turn your gun on a friend or family member if they were to be bitten...it's also one of the reasons I believe the plague would spread so quickly,most people (rightfully so) would of course be hesitant to but a round through a loved ones head.

I still don't under stand the lets split up and high thought.

Screw that. My American forbears didn't steal this country from its rightful owners by splitting up. They ganged up!

Gather your friends. Go to a motorcycle shop and leather up (or Hockey/Mideval reenactment etc.). Get some guns. Get some sticks with nails in 'em. Form a Phalanx and go to town!

FOR SPAAAAAARTA!!!

Small "Hit and Run" groups were indeed an important part of wresting control of this country from the British...haven't you watched "The Patriot"??

I just got the strangest image of you dressed like Teddy Roosevelt,ridding through a ruined city with am army of wiener dogs behind you as you advance on a group of zombies and holler "CHARGE!!" at the top of your lungs...

Well now...you know us "Coonasses" have that "Voodoo" sight...so,I'm going to say Prophecy.
I for one look forward to the "Charge of the Frazz brigade"

You know it. I fact Team Weinie has been investigating the acquisition of tiny Snoopy Red Baron style goggles and leather caps for the motorcycle sidecar motorized weiner legions. of course, with their size, you can fit about ten per car.

"Bark so shrill it will stop a riot..."

Is it sad that i have one?
Judging by some peoples answers I think my answer might seam a little over thought... well at least ill be alive :p .


Anyone who has read my intro or profile will see I do target sports this includes Full-bore .308, Shotgun 12 bore and 10 bore and Small-bore .22 rifles shooting, my little brother and father also do this.
Luckily for me my house is a zombie fortress.
It is a large L shape bungalow and farm out in the sticks (About 7 miles from the nearest city where I work ), this in itself will mean I wont get many visitors alive or dead. Although its a bungalow it has an attic that runs along the top with only one entrance that's a pull down ladder, the roof of the hall leading to this attic is about 8 or nine feet up so out of reach of zombies.
We have three gun safes and two ammo safes and between them we have 3 full bore, 5 shotguns and 4 small bores... plus a few air rifles but those are out in the shed so if it happens really fast ill leave them (feel free to take them there's three of them the ammo for each is piled above them... one is left handed.)
We have an oil tank out in the second drive that fuels the Rayburn(Oil cooker and heating unit) We have “ups” which are like batteries that charge constantly off of mains power or if they have something plugged into them and we have a generator out in the our barn that runs on oil so we are all set for heating, power for essentials and defense as well as a safe place from the dead on the people who are alive and bound to go crazy. So now all that's left is food we have sheep and there are cows and pheasants and duck and deer around us so food is ample, we are not on mains water so water is all way's there.
So that's food, water, shelter now what about defense well we have fence posts and wire so barbed to keep out people that can feel pain and fences to stop loan wanderers getting to close and if there are loads we just hide in the attic.
Now that's everything but what about long term health well mother is luckily a seiner (Ohh she'd slap me if she heard that :p ) GP with lots of medical supplies at the house she can also perform minor surgery (Father once sliced his middle finger second knuckle down pretty much to the bone when he looked up to great us back from town while sharpening his scythe and mother stitched it up on the dining room table)
We only have two neighbors one on the left side are a middle aged couple who IMHO will not survive and the couple on the right are elderly and might not either which would be a shame but on the brighter side they do have a completely self sufficient garden (as far as providing them with vegetables goes so we might even have some fruit and vegetables)


So all in all I think that so long as we (The occupants of our house which consist of Mother, Father, Me, Brother and My GF) don't trust anyone, don't cause to much trouble we should survive for the foreseeable future.

M

Appreciate the offer my friend,but I've got a similar "Fort" waiting for me on this side of the pond...
I'll keep the Necron Lord in mind for "International" trade when the smoke clears and there is only the few of us left alive.

Blast so close, Thought id have someone to play warhammer with after Z-day as most of the people at the club i joined don't have a z-day plan...
Mind you not many people i talk to do ill keep an eye out for smoke signals from over "Le proverbial pond".

..I actually spat water laughing at this...yes Ninja,you already know your welcome...if you can make it to America...and believe me..you defiantly won't be required to perform the lap dances.

I love how after 15 pages, we are all still on topic.

you can never be OT with zombies, everything is covered, from what video-games(if you have solar panels) you'll play to what sports you can play in a bunker(wrestling)

I play this game on the way to work every day. I keep an eye out for everything I see and then in my mind say what it is. So, like white car, corner house is 6541 address, gas station, doors. I find myself absorbing information a lot easier doing these exercises. I often find myself nowadays mapping a place out when I enter it and locating all exits. I then calculate survival rate by environment, exits, and so forth. I actually pretend sometimes the people in public are zombies, and I do very simple things to avoid detection or to draw attention to myself.

These little games are fun, and they teach you a lot of basic instincts.

PAH! Youd think zombie talk could never get off topic, but it has happened everytime before this one. I too am surprised, hell its 15 pages, thats a record for ANY thread here in the OT


The furture fort of the Cracker (name still in process of being....named) has roof access, 1 foot thick concrete walls, and steel reinforced doors that only open from the inside. Im telling you, once I get the windows in front un windowed, no one can get in there barring some massive explosion or as FITZZ mentioned, good lapdancing skills. Hell even poor lapdancing skills, Im sure the strippers will be in short demand when 9/10 of the population is eating brains

any building I would design for protection against zombies would have a concave roof (water collection) and ladder only acess, brick and/or concrete walls and no ground floor windows or doors.

maby you could smear some brains on your junk and find a zombie stripper just a suggestion

@ Ninja...

No...zombie strippers=bad,both in the film (yes there actually is a film about zombie strippers) and in any other capacity.

@ KC...

My friend,your "fortress" would be excellent...
Now...if only I could get you past the "Brain Eating" zombies and introduce you to the "True Zombies" of filmdom.

HA! I knew learning to play the Accoustic Guitar would pay off better than Electric

No Electricity in the Apocolypse, and music, fething beautiful music, man, will help keep the moral up when the zeds start walking.

Well...if you can play the acoustic..you should be able to also play electric,chords are the same for both.
I for one plan to have generators,I will draw the zombies to me by standing on the roof of my fortress and playing "Wild Thing" as loud as I can...when they arrive,I put down the guitar and pick up the riffle.
