Zombie logistics question :

[Tasura]

Luckily my father is a gun nut, so I literally have a closet full of guns, about 13 rifles/shotguns and 7 or so handguns, plus a bow, and I've got a couple of swords, first I'd take a handgun and sword and try and find the nearest person to me that wasn't infected, not to old as they are weaker, and not to young that they are defenseless, so someone around my age who at least knows how to shoot a gun, then send him to find others as I make preparations; food, water, ammo, that sort of thing. Then with rifles, ammo and a sword I'd set out with any others I could find, then head to the nearest police station, it's about 15km away, so I'd need ot find a car, if I would a car, I think I'd be all right for a few days. This is all asuming I'm home.

If I were to be at university, I'd be smurfed the best thing I have here to use as a weapon would be forks and glass bottles if I broke them, otherwise I'd have to go into unarmed combat, and against zombies, that wouldn't be fun at all.

Take the snowplow as far and as fast as it'll go, especially THROUGH a zombie crowd, you'll just plow them out of the way.

As for the water, it's always a good idea to stock up on purification pills.

And for toilets, do it in a bucket and once a day have somebody run it out a little ways away from the house

Inorganic parts can't be infected.

Now I'm prepared.

Wearing a shark protection mesh is usually enough to survive being bitten by zombies (they survive shark bites).

[Giga Guess]

Yup! If they can't bite you, you're pretty safe. However, you still have to worry about the neck and legs.

[Iceglow]

OR you could go for the total Halfplate mail armour, half plate whilst still weighing around 90 pounds is damn fine protection, thick felt and sometimes even chainmail guard in between plates of hardened steel and then a gorget designed to stop a battle axe or sword covers the neck I think it's time to own!

that said 90 pounds is quite a bit of weight so you'd be slowed down and driving outta the question. but then zombies being slow ought to be no problem if you don't have to fight thousands at once.

[Bunny]

A full suit of plate mail weighs, at best, 60 pounds. However, that is still too heavy to be safe. Armor will protect you from a bite, yeah, but the chance that you will get easily mobbed by a group of zombies increases. And when ten zombies are ontop of you, biting and clawing, it doesn't matter what you are wearing. You're dead. If light armor is available, sure, but in the end it really doesn't matter. If you get caught and it is close enough to bite you, chances are that's the end of it. Unless your reaction time is superb.

bear suit FTW

[loben]

rofl. the same guy who made the bear suits designed a military use one thats still in prototype mode. to bad the illigal peper spray on it would be useless. and the linking to other suits.

well, I would grab a 410 shot gun, cuz the ammo for it is so small yet its still a shotgun. I'd also grab a .22, and a thirtyotsix.
My house contains all 3 of those guns and several cases of ammo for each.
then I'd pack a bunch of stuff (mainly food) in a car, and go to this rest stop about 45 miles away from the nearest town. There I would set up defenses, and go from there.

[Mitch]

I'd keep my brain in a safe, secure place.

[Araciel]

i would be a victim, and be apparently eaten.

[Black heart]

Here's my plan for Z day. First few days hold up till the madness ebbs off, have plenty of food and water stored up for the long haul. When i comes to guns I'll take a 12 gauge Mossberg pump, no double barrel shots guns because too long to reload plus when you panic it makes it that much harder to reload. Now if you've read the zombie survival guide they recommend a bolt action rifle as the choice main stay weapon, I disagree. I'd rather have a assault rifle with single shot setting and discipline myself to one shot one kill and make better use of my surroundings to try to kill two or more zombies with one shot. My choice of weapons though is still two 12 inch Khukris blades with rubber wrapping to prevent it from giving away my position. The beauty of this weapon is its history of decapitation ability and its simple design which allows more kinetic force to be redirected to the edge of the weapon. Once water start to run low its time to first hit, not the supermarket, not the local pond, not the corner gas station but the cities water supply control centers. Why? well a purification plant has all the necessary means to filter clean water plus most usually have some sort of backup generator system that will support your needs for the time being. Food is going to be a whole lot harder to find. Food in my opinion is going to be the fastest dwindling resource once a full blown, defcon 5 scenario has begun. Food needs to be maintained in its own right otherwise it spoils, rots and/ or becomes stale and unedible. The more dry foods you can obtain the better off you are. Our sources of food also depend on us more than you think to survive, grow and bear fruit. So when the Zombies attack Fruit, Vegetables and a good deal of dairy products will no longer be within our grasp of obtaining or producing on a large enough scale to be of much use to anyone but maybe our selfs but even then don't expect a cherry tree to yield a daily or even weekly meal for you. Post our thoughts, I wish I knew about this board a long time ago.
