Hi Viker, just wanted to let you know that I saw this.

Are you sure your browser is up to date? Maybe try using a different browser to see what happens.

It was my other browser.

I'm doing maintenance on the damned thing. With this browser at least I get some ads!

Have you tried rebooting?

Oh should have kept reading

I'm temporarily using another browser. Having ongoing problems with my last one. I'll probably have to uninstall and reinstall that one. Too tired for it.

 

[Heyo]

1) If I can get past the guy in the yard, run to my car, drive away as fast as possible to as remote a place as possible, probably up to the middle of nowhere

Good thing is, I'm already here. Bad thing is, if they are also here, there is nowhere left to run.

Gonna have to kill those around with my war scythe. Unlikely that too many more get lost into this neck of the woods but maybe set up some traps and fortify the building (which is double the size now that my ex got eaten).

Like your retirement plan

Like my retirement plan.

 

[Trailblazer]

Actually, for that I made plans, albeit poor ones.

I have no plans for retirement, poor or good. I think I will probably just keep working for the rest of my life.
The only thing that could change that is if I get married again, but that is not looking very promising.

I've been inadvertently preparing for a zombie apocalypse for the last twelve years by devotedly watching The Walking Dead and its subsequent spin-offs (Fear the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead World Beyond, and Tales of the Walking Dead). Four other spin-offs are expected to join the TWDU next year. So it will be my own damn fault if I am not adequately ready for a zombie apocalypse.

 

[Sgt. Pepper]

I know many people with ranches here in Texas, including family and friends. The game plan would look something like:

-Lock down house, temporarily
-Gather allies, and organize into groups
-Gather supplies, resources
-Gather weapons (machetes, firearms, etc)
-Make way to any of the ranches, whatever provides the best strategic advantage against other people while also providing food and water
-Improve upon the food and water situation as best we can
-Begin fortifications
-Consider sending teams to loot hospitals
-Train the inexperienced
-Begin networking with other survivors and documenting which settlements are friendly, and which are hostile
-Survive as long as possible

The biggest threat of a zombie apocalypse is not the zombies, but other humans. Law and order goes out the window. If you are not prepared to take another life to survive, then you will not last long, because people will be out to kill you and take what’s yours to survive. So, I hope you made connections while it was easy.

You've really thought this through, haven't you? I'm impressed. If I ever help build a fortified town in a zombie apocalypse, I'll message you here on RF and let you know. Oh wait, we probably won't have the internet at that time. Never mind. Sorry, you're on your own.

 

[Heyo]

You wake up, it's in the early morning and you hear some movement outside your house. Then you hear groaning, a lot of it, coming down the street. You look out the window. There's someone in your yard! They are walking aimlessly like a drunken idiot, but with a limp. At a closer look at their silhouette you see their clothes are torn and they can't seem to stand up straight.

Beyond the yard you see a bunch of people like this limping down the streets, some are unable to stand and are just crawling across the road.

You hear a scream, see someone running, a bunch of these ill-looking people chasing after them. They catch the person and... they start eating them alive, chewing off their flesh with their bare teeth like wild animals.


What's your plan? Where do you go? What do you do? What weapons will you bring with you or try to find along your way? What's your safehouse gonna be like? What's your endgame? Whatever else you can think of mentioning...


Something I thought about and I wonder if it's nearly flawless - if you are able to find a remote area, and are able to dig a deep and wide trench encircling it, then you got yourself a zombie trap. They're not coming up from there, much more reliable than a fence. You get enough bodies in there, you clean them out so it doesn't pile up and stink. As far as rain goes, I can't see it raining enough to flooding it entirely before it evaporates, especially if you're in a forest surrounded by trees. But even if it does I'm sure there are some ways to drain it, even if you have to resort to a bucket. Shouldn't be that difficult to maintain.

Visit Jörg and see what he has lying around.

Zombies lack intelligence. I build a fence around my house, and I keep three big dogs and a donkey in there. I construct a tower next to the house from which to sight zombies with a telescope. From the top of my tower I attach 3 zip lines going in different directions, and so I can quickly ride one of these zip lines down to a different station. Then I live all by myself eating only pine needles and bugs as I wait for the world to end.

Luckily, my property is bordered by a forested stream that drains into the nearby Androscoggin River. Food and water won't be a problem (I have water filtration devices and could build solar stills, though I will be wary about eating fish from the Androscoggin). I have emergency supplies including food and water in my basement anyway. Weapons won't be a problem. We have a rifle, swords (more than half are functional steels), martial arts weapons, crossbows, and recurve bows as well as defensive weapons like pepper spray and tasers in our go-bags.

My property is forested and littered with big boulders. That would helpful. We get plenty of wild animals and wild edible plants.

I've been making friends with a lot of old fat slow people over the last several years. I just need to be faster than them.

It helps if you baste then in barbeque sauce, and sprinkle bacon bits on them occasionally.

Marry someone kind & wealthy.

Marry someone kind & wealthy.

I don't need someone who is wealthy since I have plenty of wealth. I just want someone who is kind and will tolerate a lot of cats, because they ain't going anywhere!

But wealth is a sign that he's intelligent,
educated, moral, kind, & sweet smelling.

The house I used to live in was on the river, so whenever the power went out, which happened a lot, we had a ready supply of water. We also had only a wood stove for heat, so as long as we had wood we had heat. That house is now a rental, and the house I live in alone now is in a forested setting with wild animals abounding. However, I have no emergency supplies or weapons like you do, although I probably have enough canned food supplies to last a long time.
