What's your Plan A for a Zombie Outbreak?

[CES]

Well someone had to carry around the ejuice don't they? I can make a rudimentary still but there aren't exactly a lot of tobacco fields up here! Yeah that's one thing to consider for a base of operations... access to nicotine!

Note to self: Add PG and VG to grab-n-go bag. Now I'm wondering what the shelf life is on nic-juice.

i have a still at work. right now we only use it for water- but with that and the liquid N2 I might be worth saving. Yeehah!!! of course, i don't know that I'd use the still for nicotine....

Keep in mind, once Z-day hits, your "friends" may become your enemies. Just depends on how prepared they are. It will be easy for a friend to dethrone you, after all, they are your friend. They will be able to get close to you. Once this day arises, you will have to rethink everything you know, and re-evaluate everyone you trust at this moment.

and how would that be different than before z-day?

.....guilt and that nagging Judeo/Christian kernel of fear that there might actually be some after death consequenses to my actions.....

i thought you were buddist- and knew you might come back as a zombie?

 

[shoey]

zombie buddhist? do u have to wear garlic or something to avoid that?

 

[CES]

That's vampires. Vampires are welcome here- though the chupacabra is not.

 

[shoey]

the chupa whut?? i'm pretty zombie-ignorant, boopers. but i will change my name to von shoey and protect you anyhow. just tell me what to do, lol.

 

[muttSRT]

ya think????

btw....I was just being sarcastic about killing you and stealing your stuff...I'm much more of the "time to opt out" variety. I mean by your standards I'm useless anyway....no longer able to reproduce...special health needs.....I'm just hanging around out of guilt and that nagging Judeo/Christian kernel of fear that there might actually be some after death consequenses to my actions.....

I figured you were playing about stealing the stuff. The only reason I have put so much thought into this question is because on the SKS boards, they have a similar question asking what would you do if we were invaded, what would you do in the event of a revolution etc etc.

I never called you useless btw. Maybe I was getting a little to into it and putting more thought than I should, but never meant to refer to you as useless. Truth be known, ever since 97 when I got ran over on my motorcycle I get to park in all the up front parking at stores. I more then likely would fall into the category of dead cause of handicapped. But if I could make it to the mountains, I could survive.

I know this stuff is meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but there is also a serious facet to the idea of planning for catastrophe as mutt has just referred to. I don't think it's at all weird or disturbing to consider what you would do in some sort of apocolyptic scenario: I have relatives who went through Katrina, and who did not evacuate. It got a little hairy for a couple of them.

 

[whynotvap]

Yes, it's kind of a tongue in cheek discussion because otherwise it would be downright depressing or argumentative. But yes there are potential real world applications to some of this stuff like Muttsrt has. It's kind of the point of a zombie plan. It's safe to think about it in terms that are 'rediculous' to most but could be used in case of natural disasters above and beyond floods/earthquake like Katrina or something more unlikely like an asteroid strike. Okay, the asteroid may hit sooner than the z-virus but could hold similar challenges.
It's easy to say "I'd leave them behind" until faced with the reality of actually leaving them behind. The closest most people come to that kind of a decision is when they're faced with a severely injured pet. Some try everything they can to avoid the inevitable and others jump to the end right away. Either way, it's never easy. It's just that some people have actually thought through it or experienced it in one way or another and are more prepared for the decision. Sorry for the depression factor there all.

Anyway, on a lighter note. Yes, I'd eat my distant relatives, no I don't have anyone I trust enough to turn my back on them outside my brothers (they have skills like industrial construction and foundry works along with ninja-like hunting skills), and Halon is the best fire extinguishing compound out there, rat's have more protein than squirrels and.... if you're going to eat chicken, baby chicks are the most nutritious!

i'm going to hide under the covers or if outdoors bury my head in the sand, like always if trouble comes. it's just a system i got and so far it's working for me.

 

[DragonVapor]

Don't worry Lori... I don't think you are useless... Matter of fact.... any apocolyptic scenario and I'll send Chris to get you first thing

 

[quasimod]

Careful, whynot! You seem to be assuming some things about mutt that you couldn't possibly know. He looks like he's been around the block a few times, so it's quite possible he has experienced some difficult situations, made hard choices, and given it some serious thought afterwards.

Also, I like dogs as much as the next guy, but I'm mystified by the way people anthropomorphosise the family pet. If it's a question of what's best for friends and family, Fido is out of luck. I have zero confusion about the relative value of animals and humans. I had to put one of mine down with a pistol when I was a kid (gangrene). I loved that dog, and it really sucked, but if it needs doing, you do it.

Hey shoe! I figured you for more of a "Take over what's left of the world" kinda guy, what with that sinister 'stache and all...

Buddhism is a process...I'm still trying to get it right...the problem is you have to be truely enlightened to be able to remember past lives....and if you can't remember what you did to screw up in the past and learn from it how can you become enlightened? typical Zen BS..... So what IS the sound of a Zombie eating itself???

That's vampires. Vampires are welcome here- though the chupacabra is not.

Love me....love my goat!

No mutt..you didn't ever call me useless....actually I don't think you said anything about me personally at all.....but see....that's what a bad Buddhist I am....I just can't seem to get past that "it's all about ME" mentality...LOL

Don't worry Lori... I don't think you are useless... Matter of fact.... any apocolyptic scenario and I'll send Chris to get you first thing

oh thank you! maybe it IS all about ME!!!

spoken like a true homo sapien! I also have zero confusion....but in my reality there is no distinction...okay...that is a lie....I would choose a good dog or horse over some humans any day. Most especially come the ZA....easier to deal with,find their own food,carry stuff,early warning system,no whining,soft and cuddly...not to mention meat,milk and fur..hehe. btw....stay away from my goat quasi! jeez...monkey with a gun!!

that's where i keep my wmds, under the covers and in the sand. dont u?

[...] jeez...monkey with a gun!!

(Perhaps not very) interesting story:

I was playing a game of Civilization Revolution with a friend of mine, and Abe Lincoln was trying to trade some lame technology to me for the secret of "Democracy" (a valuable tech that makes a civ more dangerous to other players). I looked at my friend and said, "Give Democracy to Americans?! That's like handing a pistol to a chimp". I thought that was pretty funny, so when I ran across that "Gangsta Chimp" image a few days later, I knew I had found my new avatar.

That's exactly what I'm assuming. If I had to hit the hills, he's the type of guy I'd like to recruit (just not turn my back on ) I guess I didn't make the distinction between z-plan and reality like I wanted. Short version: You can do things in the z-plan that you normally wouldn't do in reality but you should consider both angles in case you ever DO need to use a survival plan. I guess I get too introspective at times for my own good. One part of me wants to rebuild the world as a true Utopia for everyone , the other wants to run around in an Ed Gein special chopping any and every thing I can reach. Maybe that's why I plan for both options, I'll never know which one will win out on z-day. I just hope I don't freeze up with indecision in the first hour

exactly!!! and the "its all about me" attitude is where i have come up with my Z-day plan....I will survive, others around me??? thats up to them

In a perfect plan, I would say lets all come together, take out the undead or round them up to be used for entertainment, for example a zombie rodeo and rebuild a paradise where all are equal, reality is, it will never happen.

While yall are fighting the good fight and eating canned foods I will be mutating into the ultimate super zombie. All will tremble before my mutated godliness and none shall be spared.

You are definitely going to want to do so before the 3rd mutation. After that I will be unstopable:
