The overkill on the gun is more to do with me probably not being the greatest shot. even if I hit its chest or such, I want it on the ground having difficulty getting up.StevenSuffern said:
As for the rain, more alert but more importantly, moving around.
That's still fairly meh for me, I mean hell if I had a bicycle I could set huge amounts of distance between myself and the zombies and live rather zombie free somewhere in the middle of the Trans Canada Highway, lord knows there's enough moose to eat. Zombie skunks and bears would be a buzzkill though.Azure Sky said:
Haha, fair enough. Might I recommend a .45 then? More manageable than Deagle, of course with a hell of a lot more kick than a 9mm. Also, since we both seem to be reasonably well versed in zombology, you want to be zombiepocalypse buddies?Azure Sky said:
I live outside a major city. So I grab my broadsword, my two 1889 Winchesters, 2 1862 Colt Navys, 3 1863 Colt Armys. Pack my dufflebag with ammo, food, water, and medical supplies, then get my sturdy heavy jeans, my hardened leather vest, my tennis shoes, and my t-shirt. oh, an my hoodie.
I'll then get in my uncle's car (since he's never let anyone or anything touch it, and only runs it to make sure it gets enough use to run), drive to pick up a few friends who will all be armed, then drive to the city. Stop at the regional major bank, and pick up a few armour trucks they use to transport the money. Drive to the sporting goods and camping stores, picking up food, then to a library and pick up books and maps. Drive to the River, find a boat, clean it out, then plot a course to a small island. Sail to said island, clear out any inhabitants that are zombified, then start living again, swiss family robinson style.
Its actually really simple.

Alright, I'm going to do this with stuff I have, and without the hindrance of my physical disability ^^:
Weapons:
Iaido Katana: It's sharp, decent length, good for decapitating zombies.
Friend's 30-06: He lives across the street, we live out of any major towns and he likes to go hunting, so I could drag him along with me. He's also got a couple of shotguns, .22's, and this big bolt action rifle from WWII (we're in Australia).
Apparel:
PAN microfleece hoodie from ThinkGeek (Hooray for 11 Pockets)
Russian WWII gas mask (The same type as the one in Dead Man's Shoes)
Camo Cargo Pants (Thick, plenty of pockets)
Light Kevlar Vest (Dad has one, he's a cop)
Thick hiking boots.
Gear:
Home made jerky
Backpack (Decent size)
300+ .22 rounds
Unknown amount of 30-06, probably 200
4 bottles of water.
Hunting knife
Lighter
First Aid Kit
Plan:
Go up into the Warby Ranges (basically live in them) Raid Glenrowan when we need supplies (Population of about...200 people? Spread out quite a lot too), then move onto Wangaratta if needbe (Quite a bit larger...40,000 people I think). Should be pretty safe up in the mountains, lots of trees, no snow, few people.

Personally I think slow zombies are scarier the running up the street, yelling at the top of their lungs zombies we've been getting lately. Because they swarm and are quieter. You never know if there's a whole group of those bastards around the next corner, until you walk right into them.moosek said:
OT: Metal baseball bat, a few cans of food (at least 10 cans), a can opener, 6 bottles of water, matches, 2 jackets, a book, 2 frying pans (1 for cooking and 1 for bashing zombie brains; must not mix up), 2 rolls of duct tape (because when do you not need duct tape?), a backpack to carry it all in, and a towel (cause I wouldn't want to go anywhere without my wonderful towel!)
My plan would be to try and find my friends and head north. Hopefully the zombies' body temperature will be low enough so that they freeze in a cold environment, if not... well, I try to stay positive!
I dress in my BDUs, put on my tac vest and grab my .22 air rifles for which somehow i've accumulated about 12000 rounds of pointed ammo for. It fires at about 1100 fps and should serve adequately. Its also relatively quiet.
I fill my two canteens and grab a few rat packs (in july i move into a new house and plan on stocking up on at least two weeks worth of MREs) and grab my fishing gear.
Dressed in the garb of a member of the british army, i requisition a sturdy 4x4 and head to one of the small islands around scotland. (on the way i'd stop at a b&q and load up on compost, seeds, gardening equipment etc and a sturdy tent)
Then i create an island paradise, safe from zombies =D
of course, a trip to the mainland to acquire a female and some books would have to be in order.

it depends on where i am if im at home i have basically everything i need to build a armed and armored tank, downtown (luckily its a small town) i can get my hands on all sorts of useful items like food medical supplies and weapons of the firearm and edged variety i could (if necessary) "acquire" a vehicle if i need to not only that im not alone with my plan so im pretty well set
Day 1 - Day X (Time when the city becomes largely devoid of other uninfected)
I would be hiding out in my attic/on my roof with whatever food and weapons I can find in my house, preferably under some covering while making no noise and hopefully attracting no Zombies.
Day X - Day X+7
I would spend the next week going around to various stores gathering as much ammo, food, survival equipment, fuel, and seeds and depositing said supplies in a cache towards the outskirts. Hopefully, in the back of a semi trailer.
Then I would spend the rest of my time left heading towards empty space, hopefully in Canada, more likely farther south. Hopefully some what near a small town with access to a Home Depot or similar store where I could gather supplies to build a fortress out of cinder blocks, concrete, and plenty of access to supplies needed for the construction of a Green House. Hopefully, my compound would have a decent garrison and the ability to slowly expand the compound and keep the area secure through the construction of a wall around the small town once we clear it.

Actually, I was not aware. I just thought that merely name-dropping someone in the quote box would notify them via The Escapist message system. No offense intended: just general ignorance of the message system on my part.Azure Sky said:
I see your point - I apologize on my part for coming across as invasive. Because the context of the thread was not what I originally assumed, I will abstain from further posts. I have nothing more to say on the topic, as I recognize my original strategy as moot in the context.
For everyone else not directly involved, I apologize for derailing the thread and generating e-drama.
Ok considering that I have a composite bow and a replica of the slayer of kings sword along with half decent fletching skills from medieval re-enactments, give me time, sticks, stones and feathers and I should do fine.
I live in a gated community. There is a mini-mall behind it, with a gate between the two. The mall has a Publix, several bakeries, a Home Depot, and a gun store (along with an ungodly amount of clothing stores and banks). Each store has its own generator, and I myself have a small generator.
My Plan: Since there is about 50 feet of distance between the community and the mall once you exit the gate, I would work on fortifying that area with a wall of some sort I made from planks from the Home Depot. Travel between the wall, and go to the gunshop and get some guns. I'd leave some lying around at various points in case I ever get cornered, so I have emergency weapons already at certain points.
Use many of the generators' leftover fuel powering the Publix' generator for protection of the food supply. Move food from the bakeries to the Publix. Every night take pot shots at the zombies. Eventually,due to lack of food supply we will expand into the neighboring areas.
About two miles from here, there are several patches of land we can grow food on, we'll cultivate it and grow whatever fruits and vegetables we can. We'll be surviving, albeit not by much, but we could take the world back, slowly as it may be.
Flaws: At any given point in this plan, there is a possibility of being overrun.
We could easily run out of ammunition before we run out of food, and then we could be screwed (assuming no one in the community can make bullets out of paper clips, I might add).
I'm not very proficient with guns.
If there's not enough fuel in the generators, we would have to move on with expansion before we have enough people, or even worse, before we have enough time to even get set up.
