Zombie Apocalypse!!!
 

If they're were to be an Apocalypse of unmatched caliber and human survival was on the brink of existence. What do you realistically have to "bring to the table" and join the "Survivors" presumably myself and anyone who brings anything of benefit to the table.
:tup:

Lifetime suppy of toilet paper

Bam ^ this guys is a smart thinker!

Guns and ammo :)

My friends call me Johnny Mapquest because I know how to get anywhere at anytime lol. Navigation built into my head ftw.

I have Netflix.

:icon18: beats quickster.

I have land out west, and lost of canned goods. trying to figure out where one could buy C-rats...any heads up?

I would think the better choice would be taking over a small island where you could bring some animals, plant crops and live off the land. The sea would create a nice natural barrier to keep them out without having to build anything in a hurry. :icon17:

Sack full of marbles and a slingshot

Americas next top shot!:icon18:

Don't forget that fishing would also yield plenty of food. For emergancies, bags of dry dogfood is your best bet. No one will even think to steal them off the shelves in the mob action that will surely follow the first Zwave. :tup:

i have alot of stupid people in my life. and when my brother and i discuss a zombie apocalypse (this conversation happens often as to keep our heads in the game) we like to call them "bait" we will use then as needed to pro-create and what not but in the end. they will just be bait.

my gift to you guys!

Good running shoes.

Guns, ammo, and any valuable skills you have that would help the group survive.

I love how in zombie movies, they take for granted electricity, like all the power plant personnel are immune or something. Electricity will be a big valuable resource. especially in the rebuilding phase.

Generators can be had......it's getting the gas/diesel to run them that's a problem. That shite don't store forever. As Hank Hill says, Please consider Propane. :D

Unless you have a pocket nuclear power plant or solar panels, electricity would be out of the question for a looooooong time. A lot of the plants should suvive a good while, but its going to be gathering the resources needed to run the plants that is the problem. Extracting the coal and natural gas for most of the power plants would be noisy and attract a lot of attention at best, and deaths traps at worst. The other problem is going to be keeping them secure from the zombies so they could be run 24/7. I am doubting that would be possible on the mainlands considering you would probably run out of bullets before zombies.

Of course, I am assuming a few million survivors spread out all over the planet so no real population density which is going to be neceessary for any real level of recovery.

I think it would just be pockets of surviving groups, independently building barricaded villages and working together to survive. I'd imagine as things stabilize expeditionary groups would go out into the hostile areas to search for resources and other groups of survivors to link up with.

You'd need a lot of damn ammo, though. It'd be so easy to get overrun by a horde of zombies.

Simple fix? Save bullets, electrify the fences! :D

In a zombie apoc, i would have access to thermo nuclear weapons and a b-52... I would make a new home...

Electricity in a zombie apocalypse is an interesting topic because if you have lights on or any sort of generators creating noise its going to create attention to yourself not only from zombies but also looters who want to take what you have. I'd hunker down and pretend no one was home unless obviously you have a big enough secured compound that no one will bother you.

How about a Zombie Proof House?

Isamu your second on the list hahaha. Lots of great ideas and alot of good stuff cant wait for this to happen lmao i mean ...

You scare me, I'll make sure not to be in the same continent as you if apocalypse were to happen :icon17:

I plan to join the zombies, become their leader, and dominate mankind :tup:

I think windmills would be the go to power source. as well as solar panels, but solar panels have a life expentancy, i think I could keep wind power going for longer. Also how would one find out if food sources are contaminated and if animals can get zombiefied. You would need livestock and crops. both renewable resources, gun powder would run out rather quickly. me thinks, KILL IT WITH FIRE!

Don't forget to come pick me up b1tch.

Fire doesn't kill them they are already dead. Now you have flaming zombies..:icon14:

See, I'm not sure a barricaded village could work because what do we do when the resources of the area are used up?

As a species we will have to either become hunter/gatherers again or farmers. At least for a little while anyway. Farming would the easier transition because we can stay in one place, but that would be a lot of land try and barricade off and police effectively. Land requirements would only increase the more survivors you locate. Becoming hunter/gathers would just be stressful with never knowing if one was actually safe.

This is why I think an island is ideal. Nice natural barrier, room to expand with population growth, and once the zombie population had been dealt with, no risk of infection. :tup:

Just need some large boats that can carry alot of initial supplies and population. A couple cruise ships should do. Will need to raid all the liquor stores though. Thankfully, our GPS system will still work and we can locate them all being satellites and all. :happydance:

Well you could farm in the enclosed space and send groups out to collect supplies. It would be tough but you could expand if you needed to over time. Of course it depends on how many zombies there are. If there are too many and you are surrounded, well you're going to starve most likely.

Windpower is a must, but it will have to augmented by some other form of energy. How about getting a bunch of bicycles and rigging them up to electrical generators and running shifts?

That way, everyone will be in shape in case we have to run away. :icon17:

Also, once we run out of gunpowder, it will become a melee game. We will need to train the population how to use swords.

lol now we all know who would die first.

I like you. :bowrofl:

And I have stippers!:owned:

We would need to quickly develop while the resource rush is happening, a test set for contamination. water sources are going to be a big thing. wind power is a must. barricaded farms maybe moreso, a connected network of barricaded community farms that could be cut off from the rest if one part gets compromised. A true democracy or dictactorship would be the only way.

Islands are a good idea, especially volcanic ones. Volcanic ash makes for extremely fertile soil.

Thats all I needed to hear! they can fix anything!

and I can pilot rotorwing aircraft.

I'd say these are my credentials as well, but I don't know how many other men I want around besides me with a fully functioning reproductive system!

Have you guys heard about that CDC article that came out asking citizens to be prepared? Glad to know that if I see a fellow 370z member rolling around we can count on each other. The price of admission my friends!

I got a couple multitools myself, your in fo sho! :happydance:

zombies can walk underwater bro... they don't need air
