The Zombie Survival Thread

[Posher778]

This is an extension of the other zombie thread, only way more than what weapon you would use.

Assuming that, right this very second, a small zombie outbreak occured about an hour from where you live. You hear it, literally, right this second, without warning. What do you do?

In my story, i'm going to pretend that I don't have parents or grandparents because they would just make me go to a shelter or something and become a buffet.

*Anyways: The first thing I would do is grab my keys and speed off, with nothing else, not even shoes, just get the hell out before everyone on the planet realizes what happened. I drive to lowes hardware, and literally steal everything there, or... if I have my dad's credit card, buy it... unless it's easy to steal or something, whatever. Either way, I FILL the car to the rim with supplies. Then I go to the gas station, and buy as many tubs of gas that the car can hold in the storage hidden compartment, tied to the roof, etc. Then I go to the grocery store and buy canned food and water, lots of it. ***At lowes, I would get lots of wood, nails and hammers, a small chainsaw, 2 generators, (screwdriver and other odds and ends tools), White, red, and yellow paint, repair kits, etc, a nail gun, all that stuff.

I buy about 5 machetes, 5 small hand axes/hatchets, 2 or 3 larger axes (fire escape style), a ladder, throwing knives (assuming I can find them of course :rolleyes: ) and other weaponry.

I then return home and park THAT car in the garage, leaving it full of stuff. I then take the OTHER car and go straight back out, no stopping or anything. I go to the nearest gun/ weaponry store, and buy/ steal 4 pistols, 2 or 3 with silencers, and a .44 magnum or something, a 12 gauge shot gun, maybe 2? A semi automatic rifle, assuming they sell them, (I don't know what all is legal and stuff, just assuming) A rifle, a powerful crossbow, hunting rifle, etc, and tons of shells/ shots/ bolts for each of them. Then I buy necessary cleaning/ repairs kits for them, then I leave. If there's a problem with me buying that stuff at age 17, which there 99.999% would be, then I would do SOMETHING, steal it most likely, although stealing from a GUN store is probably the dumbest idea ever, but I would get my hands on them. ***Also a small pocket gun, the kind people have for self defense a lot now, to keep holstered to my ankle or something.

I then, if time and traffic permits, go buy some more water and food, to be at the max at home, then run to target and buy board games, dvds, cds, etc, for entertainment, since it is necessary. I would try to find a treadmill or exercise bike to keep in good shape, then run back to the gas station, and grabs 6 or 7 more barrels of it. Then I go to the pharmacy, and buy a lot of medecine and essentials like tylenol, vitamins, eye drops, chap stick, basic stuff like that, as well as odds and ends like toilet paper (for 'no shit' ((lol)) reasons) and water purifiers. (one for faucets and the tablets that purify too). I'd buy candy of course, just... cause. I'd run by kohls (this is assuming that there's safety time remaining, and that there is no panic outbreaking yet of course) and buy clothes. Lot's of work jeans and long sleeve shirts, fashion being unimportant since the world is about to end, and boots/ running shoes/ etc.


If I left anything out and I remember i'll edit it and put *********** next to it, just in case anyone cares :) .

I then return home, grab my dog, and put her upstairs, and hopefully find my cat and do the same, and put them in the guest room and close the door. I then run rampantly around outside picking up ANYTHING. The garden hose, maybe to try and gather rainwater with it somehow later, the spare firewood, the only can of gas by the lawnmower, the push lawnmower just in case, then store those things on the main floor of my house. **note, while I was out, i'd have picked up some cement, quick drying, to barricade the sensitive doors**

I then get the small chainsaw and saw my longer back stairs down, and take the wood inside. I do this for the other smaller back stairs too. (we have a screen porch with 2 doors, one to the garage and one to the backyard) I then take anything useful from the porch inside. Next I make sure both cars are in the garage, and unload everything, most of the stuff to the upstairs. I then board up the screen porch, but not as heavily as other places of course. I coat the 2 back doors with cement, all up and down the door too, so they won't be able to break it down easily. I board the screen windows that are reachable by man (about 4 or 5 out of 10.) I then lock the main back door, which has windows. I line it with cement on the rim of it, and across the windows in a * shape. I then board it up heavily. I go out to the front door, move the brick stairs that can be pushed, then repeat the cement and board process. I close the garage doors, get everything together, turn on the bathtub and all sinks to fill them with water just in case the line gets cut, then go to the basement, block all doors and windows, take the tools down there upstairs, yeah. I basically seal the entire basement, including the door to it from upstairs. Then I ration the food, lay everything out accordingly, yadayadayada, and cover the upstairs windows with blankets as makeshift curtains. I open the attic passageway ladder, and leave it down. I climb on the roof and paint "ALIVE INSIDE" on it in white paint. I get on here and say " whoa it happened! HDC PARTY!" I board all the downstairs windows, (you get the gyst, fortress, completely) I, assuming nothing (doubt it) was left out, kick back and relax. I'd definently invite my best friends to come and make a safegroup with me, if they bring extra food and supplies. I get everything electric charged up just in case power is cut or something, then relax. I would always be quiet, especially at night, basic stuff. That's the new life!:D

so you think the gas fumes will kill you before you fire the firt shot from the high powered rife that will throw you back through one of the windows. and how do you cover a door with cement? then you will be deaf when you start using guns in doors forgot the ear protection and you need some women up there man got to get the freak on while battling zombies maybe Ada Wong can come

I didn't ask for your criticism. Random gas fumes, out of nowhere? Right, that ALWAYS happens. I've shot the rifle i'm thinking of, and I didn't fly out any windows. Plus, why would I shoot AWAY from a window? If there was a zombie behind me while facing one i'd use a hand gun. You can coat anything with cement, it isn't hard. Try it with your throat lining soon please. Ear protection? What you think I was going to mention every single small item I would have? No. Women? I said i would call my friends over. No, sex is not as important to me as survival.

Has anyone here NOT read this yet? If not, buy it, it could be the difference between life and death:eek:

My 9 year-old has even gone cover-to-cover through it.

Yes! I own it, it's very entertaining. I like the lists of supplies it gives you, very useful.

Haha! Now, if we're ever in zombie combat and you see me with one of those, PLEASE, by ANY means, KILL me before I slash my own arm off, because it would be inevitable!

you said you were going to put the gas in the house
and the gun would have enough kick to knock you from one side of the house to the other
and if they were an hour away you couldn't do all that stuff and 2 gemeraters won't fit in the car it needs logic don't you see just trying to help you.

Great book. Any zombie fan should consider it a "must own" or at the very least, a "must read".
