What I Would Do In A Zombie Apocalyse Thread

[ROOM 237]

-I would live in a skyscraper (even zombie won't want to climb 100 stories)

-I would get all the frozen pizzas I could find (of course there is a generator for keeping them frozen)

-I would have TONS of pictures of Christina Hendricks (just because)


WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR SURVIVAL IDEAS/TECHNIQUES?

Die.

I'd try to find some nail guns (cordless, air-powered) to use as a weapon. Nails would probably be easier to find than bullets and they can be just as deadly. I'm sure charging them could be a problem but thay could be worked out - but they also make solar powered ones.

That's a pretty damn good-and ORIGINAL -idea. The nail guns are not too heavy, don't make much noise, and like you said it has to be easier to find nails than ammo.

Another thing that could work--but is much heavier than a nail gun-- is that air tank thingy Javier Bardem used in NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN.

Not to sound morbid, but I would probably kill myself. I seriously cannot imagine trying to live through that.

I'm enough of a TWD geekfan that I've given it serious thought and even discussed it with some ex-military friends. One is an ex-Ranger and one is an ex-SEAL, so I trust their word on things.

I'm a tough enough broad, but I wouldn't say I'm a badass. I'm no Michonne, but I am a loner and semi-hermit. I left home at 18 and have never been married, so I'm used to being self-sufficient and besides, people bug the shit out of me after about 10 minutes. I think my solution would be to bug in. My house is brick and I have burglar bars on all doors and windows, so it's fairly secure. I don't think it would withstand an all-out assault, of course.

I live in a hurricane zone, so I always keep a go-bag with a field knife (I'm not embarrassed to tell you that it's a Zombie Hunter brand!), 30 days supply of freeze dried food, hygiene supplies, water purification tablets, and various other survival staples. Plenty of rabbits around my backyard and the empty fields surrounding it, so no immediate need to leave the house for food. Ammo and power would eventually be a problem, but I'd haul ass to the Home Depot about a mile away and get a genny. As for ammo, well, folks, this is Texas. There's a gun range and shop on every corner. At least within walking distance, anyway.

Weapons: I own a gun and am a decent shot, but my eyesight isn't the best, so my weapon of choice would be a knife or other pokey thing. I'd use the gun for game and hostiles, but a knife for walkers when possible. BUUUUUT not like Rick and Shane in 18 Miles Out. No way I'm slicing my hand to attract walkers and open myself up to infection; that was just stupid. It seems like walkers just come to you.

If my house or area falls, there are small islands about 20 miles away and easily reached by rowboat. From there, there's plenty of fishing and crabbing to keep me and my monsters alive for a long time. I'd imagine other people would have that idea, too, and a small community would eventually spring up. Well, shit, there goes my hermit's wet dream!

Anyway, that's my idea. Of course, alternately I could always panic, shit my pants, and freeze in terror until something ate me.

I think I would move here: Zombie House

I would grab my hammock, climb high up in the middle of the forest, and start working on my new set-up. I'm not really a gun-type, but I know how to use a bow and I'm kind of a knife fanatic. I've got a switchblade and some cool daggers to work with. However, if there was ever a big horde, I would probably go the MrN route, because I cannot run for shit.

That would be perfect. You'd just need to find food

Oh great --- everyone knows where I live now!

Thanks a bunch!
