I'm ready.

I have a back back in my closet with evrything I need

My pistol and rifle are in my room next to my bed and my ammo is in the closet too. the hardest part would be packing evrything.

im geussing from packing evrything to going to the car, no longer than 5 mins

then I have to stop by my friends house down the street and get him. another 5 mins...

stop at Walmart (down the street) and get some supplies about 20 mins

thats it.

there are tons of places to hole up between my house and there. 2 schools, a church, a couple of bisunesses and a wholesale club. im set. the local gun store is only about 15min away from my house too.

ok i grab my back pack fill it with socks,underwear,and a fresh t-shirt...and my tooth brush...i would grab my survival pack...it has my med kit.walkie talkies,a mirror,water purification, a painters mask, and a hatchet

i would then grab my 7inch ka bar and my aluminum base ball bat and get in my truck...all of this would take about 15 minutes or less...considering i would also dress in durable comfortable clothes and grab my running shoes...and finally grab my guitar!!

oh and lastly...3 packs of ramen noodles and 6 bottles of water...

the next 45 minutes or so would be me getting my girlfriend and calling my best friend to meet with me at the safe zone

My plan for any disaster is to bug in, all my bases are covered and i can even bug out if need be. very little wasted time in any case.

I would first try to barricade my house as much as I can (such as closing the door which is open right now as I'm typing), stock up on supplies that are in the house, and wait a few days until getting more survival equipment. I would let my family go off in the minivan to the grandparent's house (grandpa is a liscensed pilot) while I stay and get anything that would benefit myself and my family. After looting any sotre I can find that no one would think of breaking into (like the local bowling alley and fast food establishments), I would head to my relatives' house and wait for the whole thing to blow over.

My house windows are barred, I have weapons, quite a bit of non perishables and a water tank, and I can move heavy furniture around. So I'm staying here until everyone's done "evacuating" and getting run over or killed in car crashes, fires, by the zeds, by crossfire, stuck in traffic with the hordes advancing, etc. etc. etc.
well thats all very well, but you may not have a choice ( loudhailer ) "we are here on behalf of the federal government you must evacuate immediately, do not bring any supplies with you, your compliance is mandatory" the movie right at your door shows, imo a correct scenario, anyone violating just gets shot, the ones that follow the government advice get screwed over.

Yep & you won't be the only one, which would cause the government to send more national guardsmen out =shtf. i would need to get home for about 1 hour, then i'm off, i hope my id' will get through the roadblocks, if i'm in the air & come back to chaos, well that not gonna be good.

Just out of curiosity leave, and go where that would be safer than where your at right now. With four walls around you. Im just going by Romero type of zombies. You can load your vehicle up with all the supplies you want, but its all useless if you cannot carry it if you get stuck in traffic, or people in rural areas block off the roads, blow a few bridges to keep others out, or martial law is declared, and all traffic is barred. instead of everybody running away, I say stand, and fight. get with nieghbors and eradicate the zombie menance. If worse comes to worse you can bug out if you have to.

I totally agree with you. :drinking: Everyone running around doing there own thing is what gets ya killed. Which of course increases the ranks of the Zeds. Where would you be running to anyway? I don't really have anyplace to run to.:lol: I think you'd be much better off in your own neighbor hood. :think:

Like what Dr Frankenstien, Dr Logan said in Day of the Dead, What are you going to do with the million of others out there, blow the piss out of all of them. The time would of been in the beginning, now they got you hopelessly outnumbered. I think the first couple of days, or weeks most people will be in denial of whats going on. First thing I would do is go max out my credit card for food, supplies, ammo if I could. Hit home depot, pick up plywood, 2x4s, nails, other things that I could fortify my place.

I live on an island, I'm pretty screwed. A few mountains I could hit up, live off of tropical fruits for a while(I live on Oahu). I could also try to make it to Ni'ihau, or Kaho'olawe, both are pretty deserted. Ni'ihau is owned by some family, and Kaho'olawe was used to test bombs and other military things so it's deserted and I get to try and not get blown up by mines and such left there. Much fun would be had.

Yea I'm with on that one actually. That first hour is gonna be hell. I'm of the opinion sit back for a sec and think about this. Everyone and his brother is gonna be running, highways will be packed, people will be panicking running scared. Your just as likely to get killed by someone flying down the road at 130 running for their lives as you are the zombies. Smart course of action as I see it is to sit back dig in wait for people to die or live as they come before you make a calm and organized run for it, I mean seriously sit down with a map and plan out a turn by turn way to get out of the city avoiding highways as much as possible. Plan it, study it, mark it out with a highlighter then when you do go follow your path.

The first hour for a zombie believer should come considerable earlier then the first hour for a none believer. You'll hear about it first when other people are just hearing about random attacks. You'll be fleeing for your life before your neighbor crasher through your sliding glass door for his own dinner all the while ruining your dinner. If it starts in on the coast and you live in the central U.S. then you have plenty of time to escape in a planned an organized fashion before other people are packed and ready to go. Though, if your city were at/near ground zero, your in the same boat as everybody else. In which case...

Considering I live in a semi-rural area where zombie swarms will be manageable for a few days I am planning on staying put until the panic is over. I live in a town of 15,000 and I figure they won't be stupid enough to run to the big towns an hour on either side of us. The small roads north, away from every major nearby large city, will be insanely clogged up.

If I lived in New York, there is no time like the present to start running though. The swarm won't be leaving your door step any time soon.

04-29-2008, 03:46 AM

First off, I would only use barricades in my house the first 'hour' if u will. Just so I could get my supplies and roomates ready. Then after we had our stuff packed, load the jeep wit all the supplies we have(butt keep a backpack each packed wit just essentials) and if we lose use of jeep we could take the packs on food and not be 'F'ed.

I think movin on foot would be safer anyways, you can get to a lot more places on foot especially in traffic jam. Some may dissagree, I give you permission lol

Lian

04-29-2008, 04:32 AM

Moving on foot might be advantages in some circumstances but it will be difficult to carry extra supplies, and there of course is the problem that you are more vulnerable on foot.

But need be I think we should all be prepared to suddenly and inexplicably switch to the 'ol LPC.

As long as I have my mountain bike, I'm good. I can make short silent food runs near my home.

I live in the center of town and have to pass a hospital to get to "the hills" so I probably won't be able to get away.

Well considering where I work (a parish/county jail) I have 2 options.

#1. Our old abandoned jail. The jail is located on the second story and only has 2 access ways. One is via an elevator, and a stairwell both of which are protected by steel doors. Downside is there is no food, or supplies left inside but there is a good sized flat roof for growing food.

#2. Our brand new 6 million dollar facility. It has 300 lb steel doors at all entrances with bullet proof glass windows. 20 ft tall chainlink fences topped with razor wire, and a huge Generac natural gas generator. Walk in freezer and storeroom supplied with enough food to feed 150 inmates for a month. Downside is how to get rid of all the inmates so I dont have to share the food with them. lol

On another note, my family has a island hunting lease that is only accessable by boat. There are camps (basically houses) out there, with a self sustaining water well. There is plenty of hunting, and fishing to sustain any food needs, but all the generators are ran by gasoline powered generator. Problem is that it would take more than an hour to get there

I don't plan on going anywhere . I bought my house with shtf in mind. I keep enough ammo on hand to deal with almost any # of zeds that would come my way. lots of folks I know do the same. that being said I do have backup plans.
#0 call family (all live within 3 mi.) tell them to supply up and park cars at the end of the street for a later blockade

# 1 pull my cherokee (4X4) into the garage and load up . garage is connected to the house. hide wife's car .

#2 paint on the outside of my house "left for uncle jim's" . I have no uncle jim. possibly dump a box of clothes outside .

#3 take my sawsall and cut an escape hatch into my large crawl space . put some truely "oh shit" supplies by the hole .

# 4 observe lights out at all times

#5 board up widows solidly but yet make it look like it was done in a hurry. barricade them very securly from the inside . 2 big screw guns helps + lots of lumber.

#6 take shots of opertunity from attic window (silenced .22 of course ) on passing zeds. fewer zeds now mean fewer zeds later and possibly more survivors

enjoy a coctail and a fine stogey while watching the world go to shit. at least I won't have to finish paying off my house .

05-19-2008, 03:51 AM

lol i like your idea, where do you live

my house is insecure, my ammo situations no good 800+ rnds, no particular supplies or food setup for hunkering down, i'd take to the attic if there were fast zombies or fill a backpack with stuff, grab the guns and hit the streets for a better hide out if they were slow zombies

My windows are barred, some weapons (pump-action shotgun, 9mm handgun and some ammo) cassually, there are some heavy armchairs next to the only 2 entrances that my house has, I have some non-perishables too, and some bottles that I can fill with water...
I think, that at least I should survive the first hour :lol:

The first hour for a zombie believer should come considerable earlier then the first hour for a none believer. You'll hear about it first when other people are just hearing about random attacks.

This is so true, and that's why it'll be good to be me in a zombie outbreak. Plus, I'll have a really big "I TOLD YOU SO!" for alllll my friends.

So... if I saw what was happening, and I had an hour... well, I'd probably head to Wal-Mart and write a bad check for as much canned food as i could fit in a cart. I wouldn't really look at what I was grabbing: another good thing about being me is I am quite literally a human garbage disposal. I'll eat anything.

Then I'd go and get a shit-ton of 12 guage and 9mm ammunition, and a very large amount of medicine and first aid supplies. I'd also pick up a few large containers for water storage (I have this idea that I could buy a few air mattresses, so I can carry more home and then fill them up when I got back). I'd get some of those plastic 10 gallon gas containers too. My last purchase would be several boxes of those solar powered pathway lights, which are perfectly capable lanterns indoors.

After that, it's off to home depot. I'd get some boards and nails, along with some of that shatterproof film that you can put over glass. I'd grab a sledge hammer also. Another bad check and then...

It's off to the gas station to fill up my car and my gas containers. Odds are I won't be using either one, but it can't hurt to be ready. One last bad check, and it's off to home I go.

I get home, I call my bank, I report that my checkbook has gone missing, and then I board the place up.

I'd have to really, really rush it to fit it all into an hour though...

well my "grab and get the **** out of my house bag* consists of everything ide need for up to a week in the wilderness, because my house is to say at the least the last place i would want to be on z-day due to too many windows, we have rooms of glass walls overlooking the lake we live on. Anyways i've had this bag packed for over a year now that I keep in the closet of the masterbedroom of the house (my room) which consists of a assortment of things like:

-binoculars
-water purification tablets (enough to purify 40 liters)
-1st aid kit, including supplies to stitch a wound, peroxide, and antibiotics, toothbrush and other bathroom supplies
-an NVD (night vision device, mines monocular)
-a small 3-5 bulb lithium battery powered flashlight
-compass
-gnc protien mix, power bars, assorted vitamins
-a full camelback of water (its part of the bag)
-assorted spare batteries (everything from AAA- D and coppertops)
-another monocular eyesite tool used for measuring distance at the golf range in yards (like a scope)
-my beretta 9mm and 200 rnds.
-2 zippo lighters, 4 oz. extra fluid, water proof matches, flint
-a small multi tool, allen wrenches, 2 screwdrivers
-lithium battery powered headlamp

if anyone can think of anything i should add to this bag please post, anything essential im forgetting about

all of this fits into this small backpack/camelback http://www.backcountry.com/store/BCA0068/Backcountry-Access-Stash-Rider-Backpack-976cu-in.html which is far smaller than the average childs school bag
the weight from this bag isnt enough to slow me down even at a running pace even for an extended period of time, ive ran trails near my house that go for about 4 miles at a jog before with it on and it wasnt too much of a hassle.

the only other things ide have to grab if i had time would be food, water, my carbine and 12 gauge and i could go. besides that i live in a town of under 10,000 people so the roads would be that conjested, i'de try and get away from town as fast as possible in my truck and probably head out to a friends farm for 6-8 hours before we decided on our next move because overall im still in a decently populated county and 20 minutes away from the states capital city so ide just need somewhere to think untill i decided where to go that was less populated and reasonably close within 1-2 hours drive taking backroads.

I have to admit, I'm no where near ready to go. If I had one-hour to go, I would grab all my guns, which is about 30 (I know, thats unbelievable, but I inherited alot from my grand-parents), all my ammo, all my cloths, and jump into our car, and drive up to the grocery-store (which is litterally just up the street from my apartment). I would grab every canned good there. I would also dive for the huge wine selection at the back, due to the fact I could sell some later. I also wouldn't have to worry about anything healthy or not, because It is a privately-owned organic store. Oh, I would also take all the water they had. I wouldn't worry about paying though, because whose gonna mess with the guy with the gun (I say that alot).

I would then have to b-line about 10 miles up the road to the nearest bank and withdraw all the money I could, which I think is about $4000 at one time:x. Then I would drive up to my secure "bunker", which is just an old shack that I'm trying to make my cache in. My family owns it, and I've locked it up pretty well. The windows are already barred up, and i've changed the door out for an almost 4 inch thick one, which was really hard to find.

I would then start my "lock-down" plan, which means I seal shut the shack for 2 weeks, with my guns loaded and always within arms reach, and every air-vent is sealed shut. Also, I'm on constant surviellance, watching reports on where the virus is, and how its moving.

tell me what you think about this :D

01-15-2009, 10:11 PM

Well...

I'd grab my pre-packed "Zombie Defense Kit" including:

Three Changes Of Clothes
Set Of Walkie-Talkies
Disposable Camera
First Aid Kit

My Aluminum Baseball Bat
Non-Perishable Food
My Football Helmet w/ Face Mask Removed (No biting please)
My Shinguards (inside joke)
and My Cat

I then will meet with my friend Mike at the halfway point between our houses (ironically a fork in the road at .17 miles distance from each house)

My friend Mike will have four swords, two crossbows and two shields with him (2 Katanas, 1 Broad Sword, and teh Master Swordz!) as well as his shinguards, and various other items.

We will then barricade ourselves in our third friend's (Rob) house (.06 miles) which is a virtual fortress even when it's not barricaded.

This house is already stocked to the brim with guns and ammo. We will stay here until we are ready and have made sure everyone knows what to do; at which time we will migrate to our local shopping center. We will first clear out the Shop n' Save (Grocery Store) and stock up on food. We will then take the Lowe's (Hardware) and barricade ourselves in. We will enter the underground tunnel connecting Lowe's to Walmart, clear it out and barricade it too. After we build our shelter we will travel in small groups to find other survivors and take them to our "stronghold".

And then we will have to wait and see...

Either the government took care of the problem or everything went to hell and it's everyone for them self. If I were at work I'd make my way home and get my bug out pack and guns. I don't really see myself heading for the hills right during the outbreak but that's just me.

In the first hour, I'd throw my survival ruck together, most of it is in the closet as is, that would take about ten minutes, then I'd grab my machete, my bike, and I'd head for my pre-planned location. In an hour, I'd be ten miles out of town listening to my special zombie mix, keeping my eyes peeled for Zack and his good friend Zed. And government officials. Can't forget them.

Also, I'd take about three minutes to get my spray paint, and on all sides of my house, and my roof, I'd paint "I F--king told you this was gonna happen!".

It would depend how serious the outbreak is. If it is JUST started or it has already developed (i.e hospitols filled etc.)

For the short term, grab supplies, blunt weapon from garage and loot nearby houses that can be used as safe houses for the moment. It would also depend WHAT TIME the outbreak occurs.

Since I will answer in the spirit of the question not address the technicalities, I will grab supplies and a blunt weapon.
Supplies include:
Enough food for 2-3 days, one bottle of water (15 litres, luggy but can be used as last resort blunt weapon) Baseball bat but whats a tempting option is bolt cutters (cuz they cut locks.. duh)

What I would actually find really useful is breaking into houses nearby, there MIGHT be useful things essential for your survival BUT, do not spend too long in the house. My house is too open with windows left right and centre.

With that in mind, I would approximate in the first hour that I have found a house suitable for a safe house, found a few more supplies with MY supplies. Family and such, honestly will be a burden. If you want to actually survive, it is better to lose emotion earlier than when it is too late(would you like to live believing that they might be alive, or watching them die, or even better SEEING THEM CHASING YOUR TASTY FLESH AS A ZED). Chances are they will be killed along with you. Depends who you are (husband? wife?) Or if you are the son, just like me. I would just leave them. After all, they MIGHT have made it.

01-28-2009, 08:58 AM

Ok well I'm not prepared at all so thinking off the cuff would have to do...

Lets say the situation was the "shtf" and people were leaving there homes and the area to what they think is safety.

I'd stay in the house first off, run upstairs and run the bath full of water then proceed to move all heavy items to doors and windows.
Then I'd go to the garage (attached to house) and collect melee weapons, hammer, bats etc due to the fact I live in the UK guns are not readily to hand! :-( and also a ladder and rope!

I would then take a hammer to the stairs as quick as I could, thus allowing me to use the ladder to get to the first floor.

Probably move items into the loft and wait it out until the rush of people and left the area.

Basically my thinking would be after people had left their homes I'd go about breaking in and taking all tinned food, bottles for filling up with water and then any wood I could use to barricade the windows and doors better.
As I live in a smei-detached house I'd break through to their house in the loft to allow me another possible hold up if needed.

I'd go from there then...

01-28-2009, 01:17 PM

well, seeing as the only gun ive ever had any experience shooting was a .22, i would grab that from under my dads bed, go to the garage and get a couple boxes of shells he keeps in there, then go put those in a backpack along with water and as much food as i can carry. i would then drive to my best friends house, avoiding ALL major roads of course. he lives out in the middle of nowhere (capital city of "where the hell are we?" :lol:). he has a few guns (3, maybe four 9mm handguns, and 3 magazines for each, all loaded), but i think, because he doesnt have many neighbors around, we would just have to clear out the surrounding houses and and any zeds that followed me there. then its time to play the waiting game. he has dogs so we can tie them in the front yard. theyll bark if anythings coming, thats just how they are. we can clear out his backyard and make a garden, and we'll have to stock up on water, just in case the city stops giving a :poo: and turns it off.

The premise of doing something in the first hour is very interesting, and the OP stating, “you have One hour to get ready, leave and LIVE.”

First of all, no one should do anything in the “First Hour” of a confirmed “Zombie Outbreak”. When I suggest do nothing I am saying secure your home, shelter in place, and let the poo settle. You know what I am talking about, gang bangers, riots, law enforcement, military operations, KAOS, and all the stupid things people do at the time of crisis.

It is important for you and other survivors to stay put. Take this time to gather inelegance and make sure that your escape plan is correct. By waiting you will be able to select a few additional survival items that can make your life easier.

Let the clock tick, it is a patient man with a cool calm head that will prevail at the worst of times.

01-28-2009, 06:53 PM

IDK seeing as how I live in a major metropolis while the concept of bunkering down and waiting it out is appealing...god knows I do it under normal chaotic events. I think in terms of a zombie outbreak it'd simply be better to just go in the first hour and fight your way out. You have to figure that the longer you wait against zombies, especially in a city, your number of adversaries will grow. Sure the riots, muggers, and the various other human related problems will go away, however all those other innocent bystanders that wouldn't have caused you problems before are now dead reanimated and will be causing you problems now.

With that in mind zombies don't sleep, don't get tired, and 90% of the roads will still be blocked after things settle down so you'll have to walk out, potentially dozens of miles with them hounding your every step. Against a romero style zombie that may still be possible baring some terrible luck, and with that in mind I would not at all be surprised if you had a wall of zombies following you and suddenly found yourself surronded by simuilar walls that had followed similar survivors, at this point it really is gambling.

But a rage type zombie, unless you are making a short run to a helicopter and flying our, or have a tank, I give you three miles no matter the situation before your either surrounded or simply too tired to keep running. Unless you have some sort of major advantage like they all go inside to avoid the sun during the day, or they are afraid of the moon.

01-29-2009, 03:01 AM

If it was a rage type 'zombie', then I'd just grab all my munchies, and kick it on my house with my rifle, pistol(New addition to the family), and my sleeping bag. Or the local Sportsman's, I could climb up there will all of the previously mentioned gear, since it is just a block away.

Other than that, it's as planned previously, get out before it gets bad.

DBCooper

01-29-2009, 12:41 PM

Lian,

Leaving in the first hour and “fighting your way out”? I kind of see your point but think it’s full of :poo:! No disrespect intended but “fighting you way out”? I am sorry I couldn’t disagree with you more. The amount of resources that will be wasted in that fight will be too costly. In addition, during the havoc of the first hour the odds increase that you will be an “unfortunate victim” of, friendly fire, vicious attack by the bad people, arrested by Law enforcement, or other human related hazards, not to mention the undead.

“Innocent bystanders”? There is no such thing. If you have, these people will want, and they will take what you have by force! Look at recent history, Rita, Katrina, L.A. riots, etc., etc., & etc. There was no “innocent bystander” on the streets. The innocent was home with their doors locked and a gun in their hand waiting for the smoke to clear.

I was part of the evacuation when Rita & Katrina hit New Orleans. The roads were PACKED with cars in the first hours and for many hours after the order to evacuate. It wasn’t until 10 to 12 hours later that the roads were cleared enough to travel out.

Splitting hairs here, “rage type zombie”? It is called “Rage Virus”, the virus causes RAGE, not zombieism. The differences are too many to mention in this post.

Re-think the shelter in place, let the :poo: settle, use the time to gather intel, then escape and evade with stealth. There will be so many people trying to run the flesh-eaters will be after them not you. IMHO

Lian

01-29-2009, 06:07 PM

I can see where your getting at that there won't be innocent bystanders on the streets. To be honest...your right. They will be holed up, but against zombies? The zombies will get inside will eat them and your adversaries will increase. Granted they won't be the smartest adversaries which does give the stealth out method some creed, however sheer numbers and the nature of this enemy will make up for that. Like I said, and you seemed to skim over, under normal circumstances of the end of the world I'd hole up and wait for things to cool down, against zombies though it's a losers strategy.

And back to the roads, yes the roads will be packed, however they will stay packed. There won't be 10-12 hours later the roads will clear because with zombies once all those major thoroughfares are blocked they will stay that way. One because the people that were driving those cars are now dead, and elsewhere. Two they are dead and still behind the wheel, three their loved one's in the backseat that were bit were turned and killed them. Four some raider killed them and took his own car to leave. Five zombies get loose on the highways kill, maim, and cause a general ruckus, cars will crash into each other trying to escape more people will get hurt and die, more zombies result. Hell the highway might be the second largest source for the virus to spread next to the hospital.

And are you seriously going to piss on rage virus again? Seriously for the purposes of this thread keep it on the damn subject which is far as I'm concerned is "If some sort of biological, viral, parasitic attack began and caused your neighbors to kill their friends and family, and by result their victims contracted this disease, and you were caught in the middle of it. What would you do in the first hour?" That's just a little hard to put in the damn title line.

For God's sake my real point in bringing up the Rage virus is that if the damn things can run your chances of "Stealthing" out are slim to none, and since the roads will still be blocked so you have 0 chance to outrun them so in that scenario it would make much more sense to get out early while their numbers are lower.

Yes there are advantages to holing up to gain Intel and let the people that would steal the clothes of your back go first. However if your the dumbass trying to go out there in full tac-gear with a fully automatic weapon then you deserve it, honestly. In initial panic situations, survivalists and the like don't go out in the middle of it advertising they got shit that other people want. They go out with nondescript clothing, with generic weapons, if they reveal they have weapons at all, in a basic Pick up truck with all their gear in the back covered up with a tarp.

01-29-2009, 08:11 PM

However if your the dumbass trying to go out there in full tac-gear with a fully automatic weapon then you are my hero

I agree one must move at the correct pace or the Gods will reach down and smite him. The living element is to be feared more than the dead in the initial stages. No matter how well armed you are a large enough gang will do you in.
Keep a low profile and conceal what you have until you get set up in your fall back point then prepare yourself to do what must be done and do so openly and with a clear head.

01-30-2009, 09:22 AM

Well seems like their are mixed views on either bolting or bunkering down.

I for one would want to hold up in my house if possible, but what if you couldn't? Say there was a fire that was catching alight to the surrounding houses and it was only a matter of time till it got to yours so you had to leave.

In that situation I'd have to gab a bag that was big enough to carry some clothes, food and water then I'd grab the nearest melee weapon and probably my zombie survival guide for good measure ;-)

Then head out to my car (depending on the roads at the time) I'd be aiming to go quickly to avoid too may problems if possible.
First stop would be some quiet houses off the main run to grab more supplies and a 4x4 if possible, then head across country to one of those portable cabin suppliers.

Reason being that they come with thick metal shutters for the windows and have similar for the doors. The external walls are also metal so my logic tells me that they will be generally safe for the time being.

You can also stake those units allowing to some safety at height if you remove the stairs.

I'd make that my safe zone and then plan for scouting out to get more supplies.

DBCooper

01-30-2009, 09:44 AM

Your plan reminds me of “NotLD” (1968). Run to a “portable cabin” with limited supplies, get trapped inside like “SPAM”, eventually you are surrounded by hordes of flesh-eaters, and you either die of starvation, become one of them, or you blow your brains out.

I got your point about the fire and having to leave but your plan needs a plan. Like most others on this site (and in the world) they think they can scavenge what they need while on the run. I don’t think so! Survival isn’t cheep and it isn’t easy.

Melee weapon? O’ I see U.K., never mind. If you have a link for these “portable cabins” I’d like to see them.

That's a good point on the fire. Imagine one of those in cramped metro of suburban areas with no firemen to fight them, and its also not a far stretch to imagine that happening. Lot of people fleeing for their lives aren't going to remember to turn off the stove on their way out. Assuming they don't just set the place on fire trying to defend themselves, whole blocks and buildings might go burning up.

Like most others on this site (and in the world) they think they can scavenge what they need while on the run. I don’t think so! Survival isn’t cheep and it isn’t easy.

Not going to argue that survival isn't easy, and a plan is always a good thing. I do want to point out though that over planning can cause you headaches too. Survival is an art not a science, one of the most key things in survival is improvisation and flexibility. And it's a given here that most people here don't have the skills to survive off the land, and those canned goods are gonna run on short supply faster than most people think.

I think the scavenge what I can while on the road philosophy came from Hollywood personally. Most movies if they need something it's magically supplied to them, need gas? You find a wreck with a full gas tank. Need food you mysteriously come across a secret military bunker where everyone is dead and find their food drop outside...

So yea running and not knowing where your next meal is coming from is a bad idea, but sometimes it's a necessary calculated risk, and it is your best plan.

My first hour:

Backpack my bullets, and spare clothes (going for my thick work clothes, Carhartts and such). Load the Rifle and load up my truck with the hand tools I'd need to fix my rig, and say goodbye to my 62 T-Bird:cry:

Pick up my ol' lady, and hole up in the attic at her place (just have to break down the permanent ladder and use a rope one). It's an old solid house, and I could drive right to the back yard. Try to contact friends if the phones aren't down yet. Wait and see what Govt intervention goes on, and make my way up the coast to the non populated areas. That's about as far forward as I can plan at the moment...:drinking:

01-31-2009, 07:41 AM

My survival plan would be as follows:

I'd be at my house, probably find out about the outbreak by watching TV or read about it online. If i was in the house alone, i'd ring my family in order of distance, i reckon my mum would be screwed because she works at a hospital and there would probably be quite a few of them there. Then i'd ring my dad, about half an hours drive away. since im only 15, id probably take my bike from the shed and peddle my way to his house, ive practically memorised the route from my house. as my mum usually drives me there.

after meeting my dad (say i couldnt get through to my mum) i would travel to my brothers with my dad, after driving to my bros, i would pick him up, then travel to my sisters and her partners. we'd obviously take as much supplies as we could.

i'd probably have to raid a sort of hunting shop as it is the UK. and getting hold of a gun is next to impossible. especially for a white guy living in a nice town. as for safety, we'd probably hold up in a small village, where my dad lives, its a nice small village, and we could quite easily barricade an area of the village.

Massive flaws. Honestly, its not a good plan but, considered your age, that is probably what I would have done anyway. Your family, forget them unless your reach-rate of them is over 99%. After all, the earlier you get rid of emotion, the easier it will be surviving. It might get hard with you all used to solitary living but, you should get used to it. Oh and the village idea, not very good unless you have helicopter or extraction out of there. Someone in the village might turn (might even be a family member) then you would get a bite surprise when you are sleeping. Then again, your area sounds pretty secure in the sense that it is isolated, making it easy as you have alot of time to prepare (watch the news!).

For me, I live pretty close to the city, I have posted my plan but, I think that your village down to the last survivor would be way safer than me. Then again, I live in Australia so maybe the virus might not even reach us.

Noc

02-05-2009, 10:42 AM

I live in australia aswell :drinking:

Well what i would do is
Pack the food weapons medical supplys toiletries etc
if parents were at work i would drive and get them (not a big drive)
then we would drive out to my dads friends property that is in the middle of nowhere so there would be nearly no body there
the property has fresh water that comes down from some mountains so it probably wouldn't be infected and alot of are for farming

but i would probably only make it a quater of the way there in an hour

I see a lot of folks planning on going to wallyworld, the grocery store, gas stations, sporting goods stores, or gun shops in the first hour of turds hitting fans to get what they need.

I'll bet all the other unprepared people in your town will do the same thing.

The first 55 minutes should be spent staging the junk you already have, getting friends and family together, filling vehicles with fuel on hand, establish a bug out plan/job for everyone in your group, and getting as much info as you can. Then you'll be ready for the 5min rush if neccessary. That means throwing the staged materials in the vehicles, everyone getting to their spots and GTFO.

Stopping and gathering supplies at all the likely places should not be part of your bug out plan, anything you think you need should be had before hand.

We live in earthquake and wildfire country, and have done this before. The first time we didn't have a plan, and getting out was a clusterf**k. After that we devised the 55/5 plan and it has never failed us. We also have a little trailer we can pack if we get any warning and we keep 60 gallons of gas in 5gal jerry cans, we just use one can every month and refill it so the gas stays fresh.

Our firearms get packed with our normal nat. disaster plans, so a Zombie outbreak or alien invasion would mean that I just don't have to bother with gun cases:evil:

kiltedninja

02-27-2009, 04:09 PM

I don't have a trailer or anything, it's just me and my backpack, my bike is broken right now, so I'd be going on foot. But I have some comfortable boots.

02-27-2009, 04:38 PM

I'm bugging in. Our house is a little out of city limits. I'm sitting tight and seeing what develops. We always have plenty of food on hand. We always have a bunch of bottled water on hand also. Learned that little lesson from living in Florida and dealing with hurricanes.

Plenty of firearms and ammo. We are set to ride things out. Besides, where would realistically go?

Birdman44

02-27-2009, 04:53 PM

I agree with 50cal we should probably stay inside where we can get situated for a better evacuation if things start to escalate. In the first hour you should be getting the basic things you would need to survive if you had to bug out then in the following hours you should critique that and add or take away things if needed in the event, but don't leave until you absolutely have to such as a fire is in your house or otherwise.

hotlead

02-28-2009, 12:21 AM

Yeah, that's the whole point of our 55/5 plan.

55 minutes of getting as ready as possible, then assessing events and gathering information, all the while being ready to GTFO in 5 minutes.

There can be hours or even days between the 55mins and the 5mins. One time we had two days between when we staged up and got out, several times we went through the 55mins without ever leaving.

zombie plan A - Summer

I grab my internal frame backpack and as much non-perishable food as i can carry in it, along with lots of socks and boxers and gold bond powder (to keep my feet and nuts dry).

I grab my farmer john shotgun, ammo, and my hunting bow and a dozen sabot tip arrows. I grab a couple friends/ family members and head to Firing Line, an indoor gun range and gun store. Why?

1. Proximity to grocery stores which can be looted later.

2. Large concrete building with steel doors.

3. The indoor ranges make a good storage/ staging area.

4. Class 3 FFL, they have all kinds of crazy weapons, from Thompsons to .357 sig Glocks to a .50 cal Browning Mounted machine gun. Yea they got some heat. Oh and several thousand rounds of ammo.

Proceed to get good and drunk. Cry myself to sleep out of pure excitement.
Wait til winter when the zeds freeze and smash me some corpsicles.

Plan B -Winter

No sweat, with no body heat, those suckers will freeze solid in a hour, this is New England after all. Snow will make it easy to track zeds and ill just search and destroy those shambling motha****as.

Just noticed something unusual. That's London, and the guy on the left is wearing a Chicaco Cubs cap. Isn't he afraid of being mauled by a London Kings fan or rugby fans?

Anyways, the plan:
Grab my daughter... maybe her mother if I realize I need company later on or a distraction to help me get my daughter away from the zombies.
Get my bugout bag on (all 120 lbs) because half of that is MREs and water.
Tool up with my new state-of-the-art 5kw microwave cannon (can blow up a tree or several moving bags of rotting water at once in a single go).
Find some high shelter so the zeds can't climb up and get us.
Set up a cistern to collect water (most likely a 55gal drum with filter).

Or perhaps set up all that's needed ahead of time and not worry about any major threat.

I'll put some extra non-perishables in there and some honey (only food that doesn't really spoil). Then I'll grab my Aluminum baseball bat, umbrella, tennis racket, and golf clubs and head out. Once we meet up, we'll take inventory on what we got and split our load. We'll also pick up a few other extra people on the way if we come across them. It's usally good to have an extra guy with a golf club watching our back after all. USUALLY. If we can, we'll get to a car. If traffics too congested, we won't. In either case, we'll begin our treck to walmart where the machetes are in stock and the green garden of bountiful fruit is. Hopefully there will be a home depot nearby. If not, there are still bricks at walmart and some cement.

Im so screwed

I probably wouldn't want to leave my family... so i would probably die after the very little food we have ran out:cry:

ok but lets say i live alone but all other circumstances stay the same

I would pack my backpack with baked beans, and a loaf of sour dough that has been in my cupbord for about 3 months now lol.
Then i would grab my old rusted machete, and a bag full of medical stuff (bandages, pain killers etc) that sits under the sink , throw all that into my car

drive to the petrol station (if it was open) fill up and head out as far into the bush as i could, then try and find me a nice secluded farm to stay at..
then i'd have a cuppa and wait for all of this to blow over

My first hour would be hectic to say the least. I'd probably be freaking out (Scratch that I know I'd be freaking out) scrambling to get some warm clothing, canned food, cooking utensils, and some sort of weapon before I'd head for the hills on my mountain bike. After I'd built up enough bravery to go out back into my town I'd look for some survivors and join them.

My first hour would be very similar. It'd be a mad scramble to try and get all my survival gear together(until I have my BOB together, that's how it'll be), call my best friend, possibly my girlfriend(if I have one at the time), and grab my Buddha, weapons, then it'd be onto the bike, I'd collect my friends, and we'd do what the first two letters of BOB stand for.

I'm surprised that I haven't posted here yet...
Well my first hour is a little complicated. First I have to grab all my gear: clothes, weapons, ammo, food, ect. All of which is pretty scattered trough out my house. I'm sure that would take a good 15 minutes. After that, I just have to take a 5 minutes drive to downtown where my grandparents live. What sucks that I would have to be the world's biggest asshole and leave them there since they are sort of limited to only their house. I would grab some extra rifles and the couple pistols that my grandfather has and then take another 20 minute drive to a small town where my safehouse/ warehouse is. So I have that last 20 minutes to pull up the loading door, drive my car in, situate everything, reinforce some of the doors (the warehouse doubles as a metal fabrications factory so there will be plenty of materials and tools there to do so), and then finally call my friends and tell them to meet up at the safehouse. I drew the short straw to get the warehouse secure before rendezvous.

I'm in the process of collecting my BOB into one spot. If it happened say, tomorrow, I'd collect the equipment I have , throw on my boots, and get to my friend's house, he has weapons ready for me and him, I'd call my brother, make sure he's on his way, and when he arrives, we'd start heading out.

I'd leave all of the food in my house there, board up the windows, and leave my family with all they have there, since taking them with me is condemning them to death, while they may have a chance in my house.

Dave Of The Dead

05-03-2009, 02:47 PM

That's the second plan of the day that involves taking stuff from family members to ensure self preservation.

The thing to do is to prepare yourself as best you can before something happens, not to take from those who were smart enough and responsible enough to take care of themselves. Going around taking stuff from those who were smarter than you only contributes to the general mayhem of an uprising.

It also makes you a raider, subject to whatever measures folks will take against raiders.

Yes I know it makes me the bad guy, but my grandparents aren't physically fit to walk the 20ft to the bathroom, let alone defend themselves from zombies. If I could take them I would, but it really depends on how well they are at that specific time.

Starve to death? Nowhere in my plan did I say I would take their food. Only "some extra" guns. My grandfather has a pretty impressive collection of rifles and pistols. I didn't say I would take all of them either.

05-03-2009, 08:28 PM

No, you sure didn't, I must've got the two "I'm taking stuff from people and leaving them to their fate" posts mixed up. My fault.

If your Grandparents give you a few firearms and tell you to "Go on, we'll be fine, don't worry", and know it's not the truth like most of our Parents and Grandparents would do then you have to make your own decision. I would find it impossible to leave old and infirm family behind to save myself.

2. Make the hard decision that I must leave my parent's behind (Seeing as they are both in there 50s and my dad has many broken bones ATM)
3. Run next door to my uncles house to get him and some guns from his safe.
4. Go across the street to get my friend Jason.
6. Put everything in my dad's truck and get going to the nearest shops to try and get more supplies before heading out to the safe house I have established.

I would say that would all be able to happen within an hour, if i make it in and out of the shops quick enough.

I'd look at some porn videos because, well, it's the last chance i'll ever get to look at porn videos.

Then, with the other 59 minutes, I'd load up my guns and start barricading the house. I still don't have a car, so I'm pretty much stuck here. The woods are close by, but they aren't the sort of "deep woods" wilderness you'd have to head to to be safe.

Dave Of The Dead

I've established a safe house in a town about half an hour from where I live currently. There, the population is about 7,000 and even then, most of them live in the country around the town. Sadly, my first hour would only consist of getting my gear together and driving. Most of my gear is close at hand, but I still would have to call my team up and tell them that its time to head out.

4 ask my dad if there are any guns in the house i dont know about 5.30
5 leave father behind without telling him where im going
6 grab bike and go to friends house 5 blocks away 10.00
reasoning for my friends house. high windows. all windows are at least 7 feet of the ground. only one door at ground lvl. the other one has a wooden porch we would chop down. high fence. dad was a marine and has about 15 different kinds of guns in his house along with a shot gun shell reloader thing (i have no clue what its called) they also have a 75 lbs bow with around 50 arrows and plenty of food.
7 plan out what we will do after 15 day wait while all the food is eaten 15.00-3 day

This is my plan for all types of zombies

Theodore Evans studied the Australian social spider, where the young eat their mother. After a mother spider lays a clutch or 40 eggs, she cannot reproduce again. In summer, the mother collects some large insects and all the spiders feast. The mother fattens herself up on the leftovers and nutrients from the eggs inside her body gradually seep into the mother's bloodstream. As the young spiders get hungrier, they suck the nutrient-rich blood from their unresisting mother's leg joints and suck the mother dry. When she becomes too weak to move, her young attack her and inject her with venom and digestive juices before eating her.

Its a parents job to put their child's life in front of theirs. I will gladly die for any future children i have.

If you want to be all scientific and shit, let me do the same. As a psychology major, I'm disgusted. But if you want to compare yourself to a spider, then you will compare yourself to a cannibalistic pest. So can you indirectly be relating yourself to a zombie? The only difference is that you are not eating your family... just leaving them to die a slow and painful death. Rationalize this all you want, but it won't make me think any better of you.

1 trust me my dad would defended him self. before he killed his back and all ive seen him lift the front end of a car and pull it a good 15 ft. (the car dident have front tires on it)
2 like i also said 4 ask my dad if there are any guns in the house i dont know about 5.30 hes a very shady guy that i couldent trust being locked up in the same house with for 15 days.
3 my dad only has 1 month of pain pills for his back at a time so once he runs out he would be out of control and in great pain for at least 2 days.
all three of these things not only hinder me if i take im with but also all the people im with. I could go with out my father. my mother doesn't live with me so i know shes safe. (lives out in the country with an extremely smart boyfriend and his hunting guns)

so if my father bunkers down he has great chance but if he runs around with me and my friend hes dead weight and dead meat. If phone lines still work i will call to see if hes safe after i make it to mackinac island and if he is i will try to get him to the island.

i still dont like and shouldent have to defend my self from leaving my fathers girlfriend behind.

sorry if i come off weird but I AM.

you know the type of people that just don't like their parents even into adulthood well im just one of those people except i love my mother. I was the person that told my mom that she need to divorce my father. my dad has gone to jail to different thing from petty thief to drug dealing to killing a guy in "self defense"( i say "self defense" because he use a bat on an unarmed man and because all of the people there were his friends he got off easy). this proves that with out the back injury he would probably be a not so nice person in a post zombie world, and with it he would probably be a leach.

I on the other hand have plans of becoming a marine, and having a few kids (who if i was injured would gladly let leave me behind to get a better chance at surviving) and not being a drug dealer. of all the people i like the least on this world drug dealers and dog beaters (good old dad lucky hes not a dog beater or i would have killed him by now) so i have no real reason to LOVE this man. he wasent at the hospital when i was born and until my parents split up i never had a birth certificate because he never saw a point to go get it done.(seem kinda of silly but you need two people to prove you had a child in my state and my mom wouldent go for anything less that my father)

this is my last comment about my crappy dad. if any one is wondering why i live with my father its because of the 5th commandment: honor thy father and thy mother, so in a way a zombie apocalypse is just reasoning for something some people do every day.

Sammo909

06-25-2009, 10:11 AM

My actions in the first hour will be determined by my opinion of the zombie apocalypse. Whether or not I believe it.

1. Non-Belief - Would go along something like: "Ha ha ha, someone has posted a story about the dead rising and consuming the living, what a jolly jape! I must send textual and e-mail based notices to the people I know, I am sure they will find it just as hilarious as myself."

Followed shortly by: "Gee, it's getting a bit mad out there, same on the other channels... it's not April 1st is it? No, well I'm sure it's just a.... I think I might go and get my sword. All the doors are locked aren't they?" Possibly followed by death.

2. Belief - I would immediately make sure I was dressed in adequate zombie fighting/fleeing gear and head to the super market for tinned goods and bottled water, after that a quick dash to the hardware store for some planks, garden stakes, door bolts, chain and padlock and whatever zombie slaying weapon catches my eye. Probably something along the lines of crowbar, axe, hammer, metal pipe, basically anything better than the cheap crappy katana and bokuto (wooden training sword) I have now.

Once home the the stakes get driven into the ground to hold the back gate closed (wide enough to drive a car through, currently held shut by single stone and large rock) and chained together. The food gets brought in, dumped on benches, tables, and set to work boarding up windows, reinforcing doors.

If I've forgotten to, I should take the opportunity to warn my family then sit down, open a book, keep my ears open to the sound of moaning, set up the crawl space in the roof and bunker down for a while.

Oh, and put the cat out, I don't want that damn moggy rubbing against my legs, tripping me up and giving me fleas when I'm trying to survive.

its far to hard to find a real good katana that doesn't coast more than 3k. my kama cost me about 50 bucks and ive used it to break ice, cut blocks of snow for a fort, trim a tree, and to scare the crap out of at least two people who wanted to fight me(why fight when to can win with only a dirty look and fear). i trust my kama to not break and to bash some heads with its 3 pound ball.

I hope you're good with it mate, because I've fought against a kusarigama in a street fight, and once I got under the chain, the guy was fvcked. Of course you're not gonna be fighting humans with it, but it's a possibility you might be dealing with incredibly smart and mobile zombies. My machete sword Zachary has done all of those things as well.

Cold steel makes good katana, my brother has one, and he uses it in his Iaido competitions, but it still ran him a pretty hefty price. If anyone can use a katana against zombies, it's him.

Story time! Somewhere around here, two drunk guys got into a fight. They agreed to meet at the park. When both showed up, one had a katana and the other had a ball peen hammer. The guy with the katana cut off the other's hand and then got the shit beat out of him by the stump of the hammer guy...
So what does this teach us? Stump beats Katana. :lol:

That's fvcking crazy man. And I bet you it all happened in less than an hour. So those guys coulda fought and then finished preparing for a zombie outbreak. Except the guy who got his hand cut off, he probably bled to death.

Kama's are good weapons I got one from martial arts that... USED to not be sharp... but erm... I go bored one day. I wouldn't say it would be to fun to use on zombies seeing as there is not to much range.
You got a kama "from martial arts"? Any specific discipline or did you just take a class at the Y called "martial arts"?

hey ninja was he using it over hand? probably was most people do. swing in a butterfly motion with the kamas blade facing down so it doesent snag.

and where did you find a guy with a kama let alone a kusarigama. remember in an open space no other melee weapon beats a kusarigama besides a log other big object. and who carries a log to a knife fight.

also mr leetzombiehunter i question your training. are you sure you dident just send in enough cereal box tops and get a prize from the nice people. anyone with training would know how to use a blade and to keep it sharp.

Overhand. He used it overhand. I'm sure that with appropriate training it's a good weapon, but he didn't have the training, and I found him hanging out on the water front in Old town.

I question that guy's training as well, I was always taught to keep all my blades sharp, even the ones I hardly use.

No it was Tae Kwon Do... Don't take it anymore but used to... 3rd degree black belt...I started Judo a while ago and got bored there... got to red.. Now I am currently doing boxing to relieve stress when I'm pissed... Too bad can't crush a skull with a punch... I'd be a deadly weapon ALSO mr. Roge... I bought it dull (So in weapon combat training we won't kill eachother) from my TKD place for near $200... I got bored one day and sharpened it... I also then later got a new one seeing as I got in trouble at the place and got a real one... bought sharp... it is currently stabbed in my wall O.o I still say a machete would be better... and chainsaw man, pardon me if I offend you (didn't care if I offended roge... he made me angry) but a chainsaw wouldn't be the best weapon... Needs constant fuel refills... And very... VERY loud... The noise would most likely attract more zombies, though if you are using it to lure zombies to you for others to help pick them off it might be a good idea (Sounded rude but not supposed to and don't know how to put it any other way, I'm sorry >_<)

Paragraphs man, paragraphs.

I hate paragraphs... My grammer has improved incredibly in the last month... All I need is punctuation and... Paragraphs and I'll be good to go... :P Sounded rude to me due to the fact I grew up in a good house hold with manners and such. And whenever something sounds remotely rude (unless they started it) I appologize... Though if they started it... I don't care.
Matt I'm going to try using paragraphs and punctuation now seeing as I like to type... So I find myself typing alot when I make a post.
I might also add Roge... Never mess with a man on medication... ._.

Taekwondo is the gay cousin of Karate. I can't tell you how many times I've beat the piss out of the TKD kids around here, even the black belts. I did Karate for 16 months, Judo for a year, Aikido for a year, and now I do boxing. I hate TKD so goddamn much it makes me sick.

Lol same path, keep in mind took TKD to relieve stress... I hated it I took Judo for about a year now doing boxing... I have a very stressfull time >_>

It's kool, was just kidding anyway.

The first hour you must not let yourself be forced to shoot any Zed.

My plans weren't going to involve killing zombies for the first week or so. The first hour will be spent reinforcing my friend's fence and/or gathering supplies.

My plans would be Grabbing my machete lots of rations and if it's still there my brothers gun and put them in the attic, going and grabbing my girl and giving her something to defend herself with just in case, and then grabbing a portable radio with headphones so I can know what's going on and going into my attic pulling the string from the pulldown ladder so that it is inside the attic just in case and shutting up.
All of that seeing how easily distracted I get may take an hour... If not more... I would prolly get my girl first because I value her life more then mine and tell her to stay in the attic while I bring all the rations up though. So it isn't technically in order.

Depending on time of day, I'll most likely spend the first hour searching the internet to find real proof that its really happening. If I know for sure, I'll just call up all the girls I know and tell them to meet me at my safe house. Whoever makes it will be my queen of my new kingdom... shit man, my pills are kicking in.

You wake up you hear banging on your front door you look out your window 10 zombies are trying to break in. You have 5 minutes before your front door breaks. You can use anything in "your house" except no guns since it would make the situation too easy. And yes you must fight them. and yes I have these things laying around as I live in montreal and it's pretty freaking cold.
When I say your house I mean your actual house.

I would first put on my a shirt and a hoodie wear 2scarfs around my neck wear some thick jeans or 2, Put on some winter gloves put my timberland boots on. second I'd grab some chairs and lay them on the floor in a manner that they'd trip over them. Then I'd grab some of the knives in my kitchen. Wait for them to come in and when they do I'd stab a few in the face , jump over the chairs as a I run and when I see them fall I run over to them and stomp and jump on their heads with my timberland boots. If any are still left behind I run down the stairs to the basement and as they stumble over the stairs and fall I stab each one in the head while they're down.

Ummm...I'd spend that 5 minutes barracading the door & windows to make sure I have longer than 5 minutes, by pushing stuff such as a fridge in front of it. Then I would be warning everyone in the house to prep ASAP and get ready to get the hell out.

For the 1 hour situation (or even this 5 minutes situation) I'd probably be pretty screwed. I have pretty much everything I'll need accessable, but not prepped and ready to go. I'd probably have to spend the first 15 minutes grabbing everything I need and packing (I should probably have a checklist made in advance...I'll have to get on that) a backpack full of stuff, getting geared up, and getting ready to haul ass and get to safety as fast as possible. My house isn't fortifiable at all, too many windows on the ground level, so it would have to be abandoned, no question.
