holy squirrelcrap,Batman...you mean there is a place I can go to be,silly,petty,obnoxious and annoying and not get banned!!!! nawww....whats the fun of that? hehehe

Yep. At least any banning that occurred would be for something rather than for nothing.

It's all relative. Like, um, trying to ride out the first part of the zombpocalypse in a windowless shed instead of a greenhouse.

(she says in a valiant, yet utterly lame attempt, to allow the thread to go back on topic so that she can find someone willing to rescue her from the flimsy shed that she ran to in the middle of the night wearing only....)
 
pose as someone that mutt or whynotvape or the likes might feel sorry for...kill them...take all their stuff.
The problem with this plan is:

#1 been married 3 times- i feel sorry for no one
#2 IF we are traveling together, and you so much as cough, BAM dead...I aint taking no chances
#3 IF by chance you run into me during the zombie attack, and you seem to not be carrying the virus and I invite you to travel with me, more than likely its because I will be out of food and YOU are on the menu. I dont think zombies will be the only ones eating human flesh. I am fully prepared to go all Jeffery Dahmer if I have to.:D

grab a titanium crowbar, and head to the closest marina where I will commandeer a yacht. Then, set sail for the marianas trench. When it comes time to resupply, I'll just sail around looking for the safest port, but definitely making the marianas trench my home base.


Zombies cannot swim, but since they do not require oxygen, they can walk underwater. The only way I am vulnerable is if they somehow stack themselves on top of one another in a pile high enough to reach the boat. And being that the trench is almost 7 miles deep, it would take a hell of a lot of zombies to reach me.

in addition, i will take my copy of The Zombie Survival Guide with me, to keep my zombie evasion and destruction knowledge fresh.

Oh, this is the thread whynot was referring to. I guess it makes more sense to have all the plans in one thread.

Don't you mean "another place besides this one"?

Combine #3 along with Wal-mart, toss in a little H.G. Wells since you can't eat them all at once. The main reason I was looking for an urban base is there is ample supplies there, and for at least a little while, gravitating towards there. Just remember NOT to eat the brains, that how you get sick.

Concerning the 10/22 and a semiauto consuming ammo, better to have the option and not need it than need it and not have it. Anyone who can't keep their head under fire won't last long anyway. You pretty much skipped to phase II of my plan by going mountain man straight away, my thoughts were along the lines of get what you can, while you can. Those folks did pretty well in that show "The Colony" that was on Discovery. Sometimes it's worth feeding a second or third mouth for awhile :D

Especially if that mouth has useful skills. For example, I don't know much about reloading, but my very annoying and semi-useless brother is an expert. It sucks, but it would be in my best interests to avoid killing him, if possible.

At least he lives a few states away, so the dilemma probably wouldn't arise.

no matter how much ammunition you stockpile, you will eventually run out. If you are the last alive, you have several billion zombies to contend with. You will never kill them all. Take guns as a first defense, but you should always have a backup. According to the zombie survival guide, a titanium crowbar is your best friend.

and never, EVER light them on fire. It will not immediately kill them. They will walk around lighting everything they touch, which would start a blaze of unfathomable proportion.

two words - Liquid Nitrogen

One person squirts them down, another gets to play "mailbox baseball" with the titanium crowbar!! What a game!:D

what happens when the zombie's thaw? freezing will not kill them. In fact, it will only lengthen their lifespan by postponing the rotting process. Naturally, zombie's only live 2-3 years before their flesh is too rotten to allow them to move around.

If you can survive 4-5 years, you will be in an almost zombie-free world. Once over 50% of the population is undead, the zombies will have a more difficult time finding food. Their population will stabilize, and then slowly start to dwindle.

They're shattered, sorry, no coming back in pieces when they thaw. Just lumps of rotting flesh laying around for the zombie doggies to eat.

ah, did not link the N2 and crowbar.....:unsure:


that's going to require a lot of N2. I could probably hang out at work for a while, we have a tank that holds several thousand gallons.
