True. I hadn't even thought of THAT angle...
On another note, I did find a couple old CB radios at the thrift shop. They have a magnetically attached antenna and plug into the cigarette lighter so no fancy installation required.
My son thought it was pretty cool, so now he & I can attempt to talk on the CB's if our cell phones fail! I'm hoping to figure out how vast their range is this weekend.

Zombie calendar update;
Topic: signs of an outbreak;
Knowing what a zombie is will not help you if you are unable to recognize an outbreak before it's too late.
All it requires is looking for signs that would slip by the untrained mind. These signs include: missing persons, particularly in wilderness or uninhabited areas. Pay careful attention if one or more of the search members end up missing. If the story is televised or photographed, watch to see what level of armament the search parties carry. Any more than one rifle per group could mean that this is known to be more than just a simple rescue operation!
Stay Safe Zombie slayers!

I think the calendar and the Zombie plan of the week need to make a strong comeback.
I agree. I've been slacking! And I miss Dr Evil's videos too. Where has everyone gone? I figured it was the "rapture" and I was left behind...(as should be expected)
I am just about finished moving . . . Then time for sorting through the mess, then I'll be among the living again.
Crazy summer days.

It's good that you keep sitting on your phone Freaky...otherwise we'd never know you were still out there!
LOL, I forgot that's on there. It's helping me keep connected while I'm running around. Still learning it though . . . Darn thing is smarter than me.

I think everyone's trying to live up the second to last summer before the world ends in Dec 2012! Personally, I've been running ragged at work. In fact I have to leave in a couple of hours for some NDO overtime...
You see the problem with money is that it's addictive. Your parents start you off with an allowance or birthday money. Everyone knows the first ones free right?
Then you spend the rest of your life trying to get more and more trying to reclaim that excitement. Remember when $20 seemed like a fortune? *sigh*

Are any of your team licensed scuba divers? Have any of them ever worn scuba gear? How about simply snorkeling while on vacation? Sending inexperienced men and women underwater could kill them all even before they make contact with zombies. Drowning, asphyxiation, nitrogen narcosis, and hypothermia are only a few of the numerous ways that air-breathing animals such as ourselves can meet their fate beneath the waves. If time permitsfor instance, if zombies are cornered in a landlocked body of waterfind someone to either train and lead your team, or even to undertake the mission on his own. But if you believe that zombies have fallen into a river and could wind up near another town soon, waiting for the experts is not an option. Be ready to take the plunge, but be ready for the consequences.
Scan from the Surface
Hooking on scuba gear and blindly diving into zombie-infested water is a wonderful way to mix the two childhood terrors of being eaten and drowning. Never submerge before thoroughly searching the area from shore, dock, or boat. If murky conditions or extreme depth prevent the use of naked eyesight, artificial means can always be employed. Sonar devices, common echo rangers found in civilian fishing boats, can easily detect something as large as a human body. Surface scans do not always confirm whether a zone is infested or clear. Underwater obstacles such as trees, rock formations, or sunken debris can obscure a zombies shape. If even a single one turns up, however, the next rule should be observed.

Mac's casino? I've got to read the entire thread now... there must be Strangeland involved somehow. -Magnus
KNOW YOUR LOCATION:When it comes time to flee, dont just pack up the Jeep, head north, and hope you find some nice safe nook in the Yukon. When planning to escape the living dead,especially in an uninhabited part of the world, you must knowexactly where you are going.
A. Is it remoteat least several hundred miles from any civilization?
B.Does it have a source of fresh water for not only you but any animals you decide to bring?
C. Does it have the capacity to produce food? Is the soil good enough for growing?
D. Does it have any natural defenses? Is it atop a high peak or surrounded by cliffs or rivers? During an attack by the living dead or human bandits, will the terrain aid you or your enemy?
E. What are its natural resources? Are there building materials such as wood, stone, or metal? What about fuel such as coal, oil, peat, or again, wood?

"Living in an Undead World"
REMAIN CONCEALED:Although the topography of your location should minimize the chances of discovery, you never know when a zombie or raider will venture close to your camp. Make sure no lights can be seen at night. Make sure the smoke from your fires is extinguished before daybreak. If the areas natural elements do not already camouflage your compound, do so artificially. Practice noise discipline at all hours of the day and night.
Yell only when necessary. Insulate your communal buildings so that music, conversion, and other sounds will not escape. During new construction and day-to-day maintenance, post additional scouts at the outer limit of the potential noise range. Remember that the slightest sound may be carried on the wind and can betray your position.
Always determine which way the wind is blowing, either in the direction of possible inhabitants (the direction you came from) or across a known safe area (a large body of water, deep desert, etc.). If your power source is noisy (e.g., a fossil-fuel generator), make sure it is insulated and used sparingly.
Such a constant state of heightened vigilance will be difficult at first. As time goes by, it will become second nature.
Life was lived in this fashion for centuries from medieval Europe to the steppes of central Asia. Most of humanitys history has been the story of small islands of order in an ocean of chaos, people scratching to survive with the constant threat of invasion always hanging above their heads. If they could survive in this manner for countless generations, then, with a little practice, so can you.

That makes me think how much warmth you can generate from a mulch pile. I think I may have to do a little experiment once the temperature starts to drop.

Ummm.... Don't forget that mulch piles can and do occasionally catch fire without any 'external' source of ignition. Plus you probably don't want it inside your house anyways.
