If the dead started to walk while you are at work could you survive?

[UNDEAD FRED]

If you where at work, and the bodies of the recently dead returned to life, and started attacking the living could you survive? could you make it home across town? if not where would you hold up at? What items at your workplace could you turn into a weapon to destroy the brain of the flesh eating ghouls? You can apply this to both Romero style shambling zombies, Dawn of the Dead 2004 fast running zombies, or Rage virus victims.

[Dave Of The Dead]

I work at a pizza place when I'm not fixing computers so there are a lot of available weapons around there. We have this big machete-like knife that is weighted on the back... I've never seen anyone use it so I don't know why we have it. But my house is just a few blocks away. I could run it if I didn't have a car for some reason.

[UNDEAD FRED]

Seeing that I work in a city with over a million people, and work on new home construction job sites 20-30 miles from home most of the time. Im pretty much screwed trying to get home. Especially on southern California freeways. Most of my tools I use could kill a zombie. If they are the fast moving DOTD04 zombies, Im pretty much dead. Plenty of materials to board up an empty new home with real tight, but no food, or lack of water would be a major problem. one + most construction workers can handle themselves prety good if they had to kill the undead, most carry guns in thier trucks to.

[Hitman]

I work in a large machine shop . the place itself is a weapon. I also take 2 guns with me and at least 50rds of ammo for each. my house is less than 2 miles from my work and I could use yards to get home if the way home was blocked for some odd reason. 4X4 is handy for that as is having my house on the edge of town close to my work thats just out of town.

[Lian]

The dead could start to walk the earth while I was at the hospital getting a prostate examine and I'd still give myself good odds. Work...sure it's a non issue. :lol:

[Behemoth]

No problem, although i would rather the outbreak took place when i was working my full time job ( large motor dealer ) i would just take one of the 4X4,get home grab my things & let it begin.

[Zombie_215]

I am so screwed, I work at Wal-Mart. No weapons to speak of, unless you count those cheap machetes we sell. The only problem is I work on the other side of the store.

[Screwballgunnut]

Hell yeah!

I, for one, could survive if the dead start walking while I'm at work. There's 7 spare 1911 mags within arms reach & a locked & cocked 1911 all loaded with 200gr Speer Gold Dot +P's, a .38 revolver, and a whallopin stick in the front seat. In the trunk, there is several extra of boxes of ammo for each handgun, a loaded Benelli 12ga, and several boxes of 00Buck & slugs. Plus, there are two added bonuses I failed to mention....... 1) I usually hear about things as soon as they start happening and 2) I'm never more than about 5-10 minutes away from the house, and a REAL stockpile of guns & ammo :evil:

[Dawna Of The Dead]

I work as a secretary, and god knows there aren't any guns where I work, but my boss does keep a handgun in his desk for reasons he has yet to tell me, and my apartment is only a mile away. So I have two options, both of which would most likely come back to bite me in the ass.

[Rune]

I'm a government worker in a refugee camp.

I'd head on over to the technical area, get some tools, team up with some co-workers and form a posse. Then I guess we'd go from home to home or something, or I could just get my beemer from the parking lot and try to drive home. It's only a 15 minutes drive.

Though, hysteria would prolly clog up the roads and intersections, so maybe the posse idea would be better, then again... A posse would be a nice flock of snacks and draw alot of attention... aargh... :x

[mattifikation]

Your wal-mart doesn't sell guns? Raw deal. The one I work at sells bolt actions, shotguns, 22s, and Ruger Mini-14s.

Surely though, you carry knives, bow and arrows, axes, baseball bats, and hammers?

[Victor Clark]

I would be pretty damn well off if I was working when the undead have risen. I'm currently working as a landscaper as a summer job! We're always driving HUGE diesel trucks which can hold tons of supplies and survivors (along with being a temporary shelter if it runs out of gas), there are always weapons around like shovels and pickaxes, most of the places I do yardwork at are in nice suburban neighborhoods that can be used as shelters, and while my house is over 45 minutes away from work, it wouldn't be any problem to drive through traffic in one of the work trucks (which are always fully stocked with gas by the way).

Yea I think just about every Walmart in Colorado quit carrying firearms. I'm sure that everyone in Denver has at least. But saying that a Walmart doesn't have anything to use as a weapon is like saying Toy's R Us doesn't have anything for a pre-schooler.

[zmbvan]

I would be sitting nice if zombies attacked while I was at work. Working at a restaurant provides you with a plethora of knives and mops. My parents live less than a mile from my job. So if I needed to find some quick shelter it would be easy to get there. My apartment is around 7 miles away from the restaurant. Whether I drove or rode my bike that day wouldn't matter.

There are only around 225,000 people who live in my town. Only about 1.7 million in the whole state of Nebraska. After living in a larger city for a summer I have realized how easy it is to actually get around my town.

[john154]

I'd be pretty hard up cause I'm currently workin at the army recruiting center. As such everything is nice, friendly and politicly correct in our office. I ride my bike to work so don't have a great way of getting away either.. may be in a great deal of trouble tryin to get out. At least we've got secure doors and shatter-proof windows as the exterior must be protest resistant. We get regular anti-war demonstation and such. The hippies and protesters are kinda like zombies. We get a lot of paint bombs and meat thrown at our windows so the initial zombie apocalypse wouldn't be too much of a shock. It'd be a different story if I were at the Armoury or at home where we have weapons when this happens...but would I be so lucky?

[Faran Brigo]

I work at a research lab at my uni. Undergrads are the oompa-loompas of science, and I bet we get paid the same XD. If the outbreak didn't actually start THERE in one of the microbiology section workstations, then...

No weapons to speak of, no weapons allowed, but many sections of the building are reinforced, the whole place is easy to button up, and it has its own power generator, gas reserves etc. Best of all, a storehouse with some useful chemicals in it. I don't know, really, could go either way but it would be tricky.

[DoorstopIdol]

I dunno how well I'd do. I currently work at a video game store. The back door is heavily reinforced and leads into a hallway connecting the rear exits of all the other stores and restaurants on my side of the plaza...so as long as nothing was in there it wouldn't be too hard to get supplies from next door. However if that hallway was filled it wouldn't be a good thing at all.

As for the front of the store, it's all glass of course, but it wouldn't be too hard to pull down the security shutters and lock those in place. I'm pretty sure they'd hold up even if the windows somehow managed to shatter. But there really aren't any weapons in my store itself, so that'd be a let down. And if we couldn't get to the other stores around us...well, food and water would be an issue before too long. Not that I'd want to stay there if I could at all avoid it.

Priority numero uno would be getting to my car and getting to my apartment, not that it would really be any safer, but at least then I could get my girlfriend. I don't really think she'd be too safe on her own. Of course its also a half an hour drive to my apartment from work...so that's not really a safe bet either. Pretty much no matter how I slice it, I wouldn't want to be at work when the zombie apocalypse started. And don't even get me started on my real job (teacher)...

[FatZombie]

Well I'm a police officer and i Work about 3 miles away from my house and at the police station there are many weapons like batons and standard issue handguns and shotguns and of course bullet roof vests and stab proof arm guards and leggings and are doors and windows are reinforced so I think id be well off.

[jim96sc2]

Work at a hospital.. I'll try and be gentle when I bite.

[Running From Zombies]

I wouldn't bother trying to make it back home. Wherever I was, work or elsewhere, the best thing to do would be to stay put if the area could be blockaded or find the closest building that could be. Barricading the doors and, windows would be the first order or business. And if the building has more than one floor (which it should if you're staying there to defend against zombies!) destroying the staircase after climbing them would be the next.

Assuming the zombies can climb and jump, theres going to be a need for defense. Thick clothing or protective gear is a must, anything that will impede a zombie bite may well save your life. Weapons would be more difficult. I probably wouldn't have a gun, and meleeing isn't easy against a fast zombie. I'd probably try to have a makeshift shield to keep them at bay while i had a knife or fire poker of some sort to bring it down.

Would I survive?

Slow zombies: yes, quite easily.
Fast zombies: hard to say. Events could take a course in many possibilities.

You will probilly be the first on the scene if the dead start to walk. A call for a disturbance, A dead body on the street, that gets up and attacks. Attacks a paramedic, or firefighter at an accident scene:evil: Question??? Does police squad cars have soup up engines, re-enforced bumpers, That will come in handy.

[Dave Of The Dead]

Of course they do. Ever seen the movie "Blues Brothers?"

[Cenobite]

I am a mobile security supervisor. I drive around the city, even if there is an outbreak I can go ANYWHERE and prepare. First thing will probably be my home to get the supplies, then...we'll see.

[50 cal]

I always have an AR15 in my truck. A .45 also. My truck is parked just right outside the front doors at work. I don't live far from work so a quick 10 min drive and I'm where the real fun begins.:)

[Grinder]

I work in a Safeway warehouse, so first of all it's a fairly zombie proof building to begin with. The doors are strong, and a lot of areas can be sealed off in case of fire hazards. It is full of food, water and other drinks, equipment and vehicles, fuel and communications equipment. On the bad side if the outbreak happened inside it there are lots of areas with shelving and racking which means lots of ambush points.

Another plus is that it has a machine shop and maintenance area, which is where I work. While there are no weapons per se a lot of improvised ones could come from there and could be made there as well, since there are various kinds of welders, presses and so on.

From the warehouse a foray could be made to certain shops and stores in the area--there is at least one where we could get rifles and shotguns and a lot of ammunition, as well as bows and crossbows. Because it is in the industrial section of town we could also get more fuel and parts for vehicles just about anywhere; we could turn the warehouse complex into a fortress. It already has a big security fence around it so improving on that could certainly be done.

Finally, you can get a good view of the area surrounding from the roof. There is no easy access to the roof--there are a couple of ladders but they are not normally descended so they could be secured.

[mattdettorre123]

I could survive, I keep a full stocked BOB in my truck along with my .30-30 truck gun and some ammo locked up behind the seats. In 6 months i will have my CCW and a handgun also. I am confident i could make it home safely

[Trebek]

I have a pistol and an M-4 while I'm at work. call it 120 rounds between the two. I think I'd get home OK

[Haji]

I would rather be at work when the balloon goes up. My place of employment is more easily secured than my residence is. I work here: www.atstacticalgear.com

[Hitman]

Seriously now, who do you work for? the army?

[Trumble0]

I work at a Campround as a Groundskeeper, I have axes, sledge hammers, sickles, scythes, chainsaws, and an old Kubota tractor that will do 30 mph in 8th gear, but I live half an hour away, but it's all backroads through small towns... so i think my chances of getting home are relatively good... work is less than 2 miles from a populated suburb of a big city... so I'd be more likely to get attacked there... the one thing that sucks is my boss doesn't believe in guns... so he doesnt own any and I cant bring my shotgun to work... unless I hide it in my trunk? :think:

[bhk2000]

right now i'm working in downtown Los Angeles...i'm doomed haha
(home from school in Idaho for the summer)

[wyattpowers]

It's funny, we were talking about this at work on Friday - and I had no idea that this thread existed at the time.

The general consensus was that we were screwed if the zombie outbreak happened while we were at work. We work in an office building, with nothing resembling a weapon on premise. The good news, though, is that we're on the 2nd floor, near the emergency stairs, and I only live a few miles from the office. I could probably get down & out quick enough to make it to the car, and then hopefully home ... or at least somewhere more secure.

[secretcog]

Would I survive? Hmmm...that depends on where I am heading to. I don't bring my family to work with me, sooo...I'd have to leave the Midwestern steel mill located in an over populated industrial urban center just 15 minutes drive from one of our nations largest cities. Ummm...no, I think I'd be f----------------

[DarthJoe8]

I was thinking. :think: In the beginning of an outbreak most of us would likely know what was really going on.

As soon as I started hearing shit about "victims", "cannibalism", "rabies", and the "dead rising" I don't think I'd be at work. I'd know that it was starting and I would be using the last few sick days that I have left to prepare :lol:

:drinking:

What happens if its like a DOTD 04 fast spreading, fast zombies type of scenerio?:evil:

[DarthJoe8]

Well remember that the night before when Ana was at work, they had the bite patient get transfered to ICU and on the ride home she kept changing the radio station while they're reporting the outbreak. :scare:

She gets home and the evening news is reporting it. The girl arrives in the morning. She had at least a days notice and being a nurse she would hear about it first.:think:

:drinking:No doubt, you don't have a lot of time to get ready, but that's why I believe in slow zeds instead of fast ones. :scare: I hope.......

[mattifikation]

Wyatt, you're better off avoiding the car. You'll just be trapped in traffic. Your best bet is to barricade the doors to any stairways, and disable the elevators if you can.

I find it hard to believe you don't have anything you can't use as a weapon, if not a shitty one. I came up with an idea for making a flail-type weapon using stuff you might have available in your office. You will need:

1. Something to use as a handle. You can use a broken-off chair or desk leg, for example.

2. Something hard and heavy that can be swung around to hit things. A paperweight, or a heavy stapler would work. If you have coat rack with metal hangers, you can take the hangers apart and wrap them together in a ball.

3. Something to attach the weight to the handle. Clothing might do the trick, but I have a better idea. Most offices have blinds, and most blinds are held together with nylon cord.

All you have to do is braid the nylon cord and then use it to attach the weight to the handle. Make sure the handle is long enough that when the weight comes to a rest, it hits the handle and not your arm.

If you have the right stuff lying around, you might even be able to put spikes on the weapon. You could use scissors, or long screws for the spikes. I don't know if it would add skull busting power or not, but at least it would look ****in cool.

I think tomorrow I'll pick up some supplies and see if this idea is workable. I'll let you know.

I'd probably just use the blinds... draw them up... pull them down and wrap the cords around the blinds and swing that, msot blinds have some pretty sturdy tops for mounting into the cieling and it could marginally pass as a bat for the few zombies that somehow got passed the locked elevators, blocked stairwell..., or... if you ahve wheelie chairs that have the adjustable height seat that sort of has the hydraulic pump... take the seat off and pull that sum' bitch out I put a chair together last night and that thing had some heft to it... or if you have one of those industrial 3 hole punches, with the base and the steel arm that comes up and bends at a 90 degree angle... a 3 hole punch base to the side of the head would cause some damage... or if you're really desperate home-row them (hit them acrossed the face with a desktop pc keyboard.) :lol:

[mattifikation]

I'm still making a flail tomorrow. That is, if I feel ambitious. It might just end up being my debut youtube video.

[secretcog]

This threads progessive...isn't it?

It's a really important question that can be applied to a diverse variety of situations. Try this one:

Your at work and you hear of an incident. It could be an attack on your nations sovereignty, or a natural disaster. What do you do first?

1) Call your loved ones;
2) rendezvous with those close to you; and
3) ?

Here's my issue:

1) Everyone will have the same idea and national/international grids and communications systems will be overloaded and will shut down; and

2) we should run scenarios in this forum and develop a series of plans now!

Not that the dead will rise, but as I've said...we can apply this to many situations.

[mattifikation]

Nearly all of the "serious" threads can be applied to real life situations. Frankly, it's why I partake in these discussions. My motto is, "If you're prepared for zombies, you're prepared for anything."

Well, it's a quarter after 1 in the afternoon and I just got up. Odds are, I'm not going to be feeling ambitious today.

Of course, it's probably gonna be a loooong evening...

[wyattpowers]

Wyatt, you're better off avoiding the car. You'll just be trapped in traffic. Your best bet is to barricade the doors to any stairways, and disable the elevators if you can.

You definitely post some good options, mattifikation (and is there a shortening of that ... is it just 'matt'?) but, unfortunately, any weapon that I could make from stuff in the office would be temporary at best. It would only delay the inevitable, at best ... and, truth be told, I don't really like most of my coworkers. I think I'd rather deal with the Undead than with them. :doh:

And even if we could make weapons strong enough to buy us some time, there's limited food & limited water. We'd be trapped until help arrived ... if it arrived at all.

I'd much prefer to risk the traffic associated with trying to escape. I live in the same town that I work in, so I could avoid major roads (and thus a lot of the traffic) and if I was blocked by traffic I could just get out & jog home. It's not a perfect escape plan, but it beats the alternative.

[mattifikation]

Yeah, you can call me Matt.

Might I suggest carrying a weapon with you? You'd need a permit for a gun, but in most states you can get one. Other than that, a temporary weapon is still better than no weapon.

If you really need to escape, I suggest doing it on foot. Cars just aren't going to get anywhere through a city, at all. You're less protected on foot, but at least you'll be moving.

[zephyr]

I work 2 jobs and a full time college student.

My college classes are at night, if zombies appear I would be pretty screwed since the college is dimly lit in many areas and due to a parking problem, generally its at least 150 yards to my car. There are no weapons, not even makeshift ones available. I suppose the best thing is to barricade myself into one of the rooms and hope for the best. Maybe in the morning I can get a gun from one of the 6 armed and most likely dead campus cops so I can get to my house where I have tens of thousands of rounds of ammo, 4 guns, and tons of supplies.

One of my part time jobs I work in a supermarket. I would most likely not survive if I can't get out before hordes of people start swarming in for food and water. The only real weapon is a staple gun somewhere in the back with the receiver's desk.

The other part time job I work at my dad's office doing office work. Its one of the many suites rented out to different companies in a large office complex. Two stairs at each end and a couple elevators are the only access to my dad's office on the second floor. Again, no effective weapons to speak of besides a knife in the break room/server room. The rest of the utensils are the disposable plastic kind. We could barricade ourselves in the office with only purified water to survive on. At that rate, we could last a day or two at most. If we can get out and safely get home, then my survival rate greatly increases.

[korosukami]

Actually i dont work, i study. I study at Universidade Catolica Portuguesa at Oporto Foz. I think i Could survive easily: I know all rooms, all hallways, i know how to break in the Cafeteria and bars, i also have lots of heavy filming equipment that can be used to smash heads. also there are lots of really good cars from the rich people nearby i can choose from really fast, and really big (hummer). Then i would run to round up like 3 or 4 important people and then go rob all the gun stores in downtown that are like 15 min away by car.

[torancefzk]

well i work in a machine shop so i guess i could fabricate something. a few melee weapons laying about.
i would hope my boss turns so i have no guilt killing his rotten soul.

i think could make it home although, i work near an airbase. so if i need to obtain a gun it wouldn't super hard(of course if it was wide open to civilians).

[Trumble0]

Well, now I'm back on campus, I work at an office about 20 yards from my dorm. If I made it back to my room I could be fine, we have 2 inch thick solid hardwood doors... basically colleges design their buildings and dorms to withstand sieges so that college kids cannot do much beyond surface damage :lol:... My gun is kind of far away now that I'm in a different dorm... I'd have to book it like... 400 or 500 yards to the University Police station and get my 12 gauge and ammo... after signing it out of course :) we have like 2 U.P. Officers on duty at any given time. I dont think they'd last long because they wouldn't shoot a zombie for fear that the kid's parents would sue them if a cure was found, theres a State Trooper every 10 feet up there though, so they would probably be the first responders after U.P. was down... I would hole up in my room though and advise my friends to do the same, and let all the crazy city kids panic and create more zombies... I'd definitely tell my roommate to take his chances outside, Because he is a tool and I couldn't stand being stuck with him for awhile, there's a Military base about 45 minutes away, so we'd probably be cleared relatively quickly.

[Shuffles]

I'm a lazy good for nothing bum. I'm currently on sick leave from work. If an outbreak was imminent, I'd be haulin' ass down to the basement for my husband's e-tool and a whetstone. Pack a ruck, get on my Baja ATV and vanish into Algonquin National Park. Unfortunately, I have no firearms in my house. I live in Canada and my husband managed to get his rifle confiscated by the RCMP.

If I were at my job. I'd be totally screwed. I work at staples.

[Trumble0]

If I were at my job. I'd be totally screwed. I work at staples.

Doesn't staples have letter openers? paper Cutters? Unscrew the cutting arm from the base and Go "Punisher" Style on some zombies.

[Bob]

Well I am a network admin but I work for a company where the owners are gun guys.

I have a CCW for my state.
I carry a .380 in my pocket at all times.
I live only about 4 miles from work.
So yea I think I could survive long enough to get home to some real firepower.

I keep 4 battles packs of .308 in my locker at work.
(sounds serious huh? actually I am just to absent minded to remember to take them home)

I think the trick to early survival is avoidance.
I would not want to have to take out a zombie early on.
One of the local Leo's might not be aware of the infestation and lock me up. I cannot think of a worse place to be than a jail cell after all the jailers have gone home to protect their families.

[killnburn]

id probably be fine since i work during summer only, student during the year, my school is really isolated and i live in one less densely populated area of north America, so basicaly my school is really far from everything but a small village of around 5000 people that have some farms, most of them are hunters, including my friend that lives around 200yards away from school, he has a remington 870, a tikka .300, a .270 witherby, a .308 remingtom 700 and a rugger 10/22. for work, i work in an airforce base, there is a summer camp for cadets there and i work as a staff, so im pretty close to a place full of armed/qualified personel, good thing is, since i work there, i wouldnt be isolated with the standard population.

[beyerwrestler]

Well since I am unemployed and mostly at Highschool I think Id be ok. Theres limited to no weapons at my school BUT my newspaper teacher is also a hungar and Tai Chi master who has fighting staffs amd canes in his office. My grandma lives not even 1 minute away and her house could be easily fortified. But once I get my drivers licencse in a month or so Id be able to shoot home in 5 minutes along the construction road (its always empty and my town is full of people who freak at the thought of dirt roads -.-). Theres a baseball bat and a hammer in my truck. My house is two story and with enough furniture and struff to fortify the windows and doors. As for firearms my family owns a 12-gauge 3 shell shotgun with 7 extra shells, .22 deer rifle with about 50 rounds, and a ruger .357 revolver with 30 .357 rounds and 24 .308 rounds. PLus theres shovels, hammers, bats, knifes, and a hedger in my garage:lol:

[Gummerfan]

I am so screwed, I work at Wal-Mart. No weapons to speak of, unless you count those cheap machetes we sell. The only problem is I work on the other side of the store.

Not to mention all the idiots whose zombie survival plan consists of "Go to Wal-Mart" :roll:
I'm a postal worker, so we're all bristling with firearms, so I'd be fine.
Okay, that's not true. We aren't allowed to have any weapons at all on the property. But I'm close to home, and even if I had to foot it, it's all downhill.

[BioWeapon]

Hi all, First post:
I work in a lab on the edge of Sacramento - and live ~20 miles away... not good.
I've got a shotgun, 22 rifle, maybe 2000 rds for the .22, and maybe 100 for the shotgun, and also a compound bow, and an easily barricadable stairway to my room on the 2nd story(1st floor is mine too, but too many glass windows), and at least 2 weeks worth of food in canned/ramen/pasta form - so getting home would be good if I could get there.
I would probably fill up the bathtub ASAP for water storage before that service cuts out (better than nothing).
State laws prevent me from getting a carry permit, although I keep meaning to buy a handgun and a decent size rifle.
Big 5 and safeway are ina shopping center just across the street, a quick raid may be called for if it happens while I am at home, or a quick raid to pick over whats left days after the initial outbreak.

In the lab we also have a warehouse connected- some heavy wrenches and maybe a machette or hand sicle for when we go to the fields (we make and grow GMO crops- with human genes in them).
Liquid Nitrogen tanks, several gallons of ethanol, methanol, concentrated acetic acid, HCl, sulfuric acid, Sodium Hydroxide, etc. Molotov cocktails with beakers are a definite possibility, and we could also toss acids and bases.
We also have liquid Nitrogen tanks, which could be used in multiple ways.
We only have windows in the front, and could probably barricade the doors to the rest of the lab.
We also have one of those paper cutting things with the ~3 foot heavy blades on a hinge, I could remove the blade and use that in a few minutes.
We have maybe 50 gallons of DI water, and maybe 100 pounds of transgenic rice seed that could serve as food in a pinch, in addition to a soda machine... there are only 10 of us here, if that.

I'm on the edge of the city, less than 200 yards from the freeway (my work entrance is on relatively secluded side street going parrellel to teh freeway that with minor offroading allows me access to the freeway), but still, that could be a deathtrap, and I live in a college town (Davis, CA), right off the freeway, if I got to my car soon enough, I'd have a good chance of making it home.

However, if the first I heard about it was when a zombie breaks in while Im at my cubicle or lab bench - I would have to resort to throwing beakers and swinging with a chair - it would not be good.

A dash to the car, and hope to get on the freeway before its clogged would be my first action - taking the side street first to recon the highway - if traffic is flowing, I'd get home, see if I could go about rescuing the attractive neighbor girl (**** buddies are a vital supply to maintain psychological health right?) - raid safeway with the guns I already have while passing by Big 5 (see if its being looted, if not, pick up ammo), shove a few couches and other crap down the stairway, and ride it out upstairs.

If the freeway is blocked.... barricade the lab entrance (a single double door entrance to the front desk with windows), prep molotov cocktails, start running as much water as possible into all containers suitable(we have a lot of sealed sterile 2 liter containers, never used, in the warehouse), and wait it out on water, dry rice, powdered amino acids(i e a protein source), and glucose, sucrose, Agarose and other misc sugars, that in theory could be nutritional supplements.
Oh.. and powdered Fetal Bovine Serum :puke: , our human cell lines love to grow in that stuff, so it should be edible, but this lab wouldn't exactly have gormet food to subsist on.
We may have some vitamins in the chemical storeroom....

Light would be a problem if the power goes out, the warehouse has 2 windows ~1 foot wide (with inlaid metal mesh), and if the front is barricaded, that would be it.
Outside the warehouse is a locked gated entrance wth barbed wire, it may be reasonably safe out there - if so we could open the big door that allows a truck to move in and out - we could probably relocate all our vehicles in the warehouse and just outside it within the gate when the chance presents itself.

The lack of effective personal weapons is the biggest problem, its a reasonably defensible/barricadable position with reasonable supplies.
A lumber warehouse, or contractor supply place, something like that, is across the street, they might have some supplies in gross excess we could use, and probably some things usable as weapons (or the tools to make weapons)

[homelitexl]

ha at work iv'e got hammers saws guns and a big truck i woul make it

[flybhoy]

well i work in a quarry about a mile from the nearest town and to get to where i stay i have to go through that town then another two miles

but if the infection was just starting to break and it was the slow zombies from DOTD 78 i think i could make it between my work and the nearest town and that town and where i live is a lot of fields so i would have a lot of room to manouver and my work is full of shovels and picks so i wouldnt struggle for weapons

if it was the fast zombies from the remake id be ****ed i couldnt outrun them

(bloody beer and kebabs) :lol:

Right now I'm working 3 jobs and all 3 are about a slow 5 minute walk from home. So no matter if its Romero or Dawn 04 zombies I'm good to get home. Also as always I have my Glock on my hip, a spare mag in my pocket, a 7 inch trench knife across my back, a punch knife in my belt buckle, and my new Ruger lcp on my ankle.

[Bob]

Have you already sent that lcp back to Ruger for the recall / retrofit?

Another fine example of a public school system mired in politics and political correctness. Stop pointing out spelling and grammar mistakes. Don't get bogged down in obvious inconsistencies (AKA - BS). None of that matters. Everyone is a winner and we all get trophies!!!! Ain't life grand? We're all equal and we're all special! At the same time. Did I mention the trophies?

[Iron Knuckles]

Iron Knuckles

Have you already sent that lcp back to Ruger for the recall / retrofit?

No. I haven't heard anything about a recall but I am going to surf over to ruger to check it out right now. Thank you for the heads up (also the ankle holster thing is new to me and I'm still not to sure about it yet)

I'm good ive got a 371 still thank you for the heads up

Nope, you actually have a job and are a productive member of society..sort of. The trophies aren't meant for the likes of you!!!

You never did answer my question as to whether or not you thought we could find enough stuff at work to survive.

[Adam]

Oh, Hell yes!

First, my Beloved and I work at the same place, which simplifies things
soooo much.

She works in the office (right next to an ex-Marine Grunt, Thank God)
while I work out on the floor.............................of a Lowe's Hardware
Distribution Center.:)

The place is so slam full of assorted head-busting tools it ain't even
funny, plus all the other nice stuff so helpful when the wheels come off.
We have HUGE generators to power the place if the power goes off, plus
vehicles, fuel, food, water, and enough forklift batteries to light up Charlotte.

AND, the place is like a fortress already, PLUS we could improve the defences
with all those container trailers and pallets and pallets of ceramic tile.

AND, the place is way out in the country, surrounded by farmland and
dairy farms and lots of armed Rednecks with guns (like me!) so we're
pretty much set.

We could launch the offensive from MY place of work:)

[homelitexl]

I'm ****ed if Z Day hits while I'm at work. I work in Sydney. Ewww. Densely populated - there'd be yuppie zombies everywhere! Not to mention I work right near a hospital. I am screwed.
im in the military, many guns lying around, many marines...i could survive:)
US Military? You're screwed ;)

[VideoJunkie]

Well, I'd be ok if it started while I was at work. I'm a service tech, and work out of a company van. It's loaded with tools, and I always keep a full tank of gas. First sign of zed like activity, and I'm bugging out. If I jump the gun on what turns out to be a false alarm? No problem! I was just on a parts run. Hell, I'll still get paid for the hours I wasted heading home and loading up! Not that it's already happened...NOPE! Not to me...Really! ...DON'T JUDGE ME!!!


Our office is in an industrial park, and is decently fenced in. The metal buildings would be easy to barricade, and the place is loaded with equipment and material that would be very useful. I wouldn't bother. I've got a better place picked out, and the only people at work that are really worth the effort of saving will be headind there as well. Does that make me sound callous? Don't get me wrong, a lot of the techs I work with are great guys, but they won't be at the office. They'll be out in their trucks working. As for the people in the office...well, I certainly wouldn't do anything to reduce their chances of survival. I just wouldn't do anything to be particularly helpful, either.

Bottom line, my chances of surviving at work are pretty good. BUT they depend on how early in the outbreak I realize what's happening. Of course I guess that's true for all of us!

[The Stoli Strafer]

Are you so certain?:-|

[South City Si]

My work is quite good to defend. 2 ways in, a lift which you need security card to use and a stair well with the same.

I'd blockade the stairs with desks chairs, etc, as they are reasonably steep and the door right onto the stairs so if the door was opened/smashed I could block the stairs enough. I could get out via the toilet windows which lead out to next door's roof which has a courtyard which has about 3/4 ways to it: 1) A courtyard door which is thick wood and boltable, 2) drug rehab place which only looks onto it which has lots of bars on the window inside and out, 3) from the shop that uses it.
The shop that actually uses it which is a Country Shop and a...... gunsmith!!! So I assume is secure form the courtyard as well as from the shop front to stop robbers nicking the guns.
On the other side of the gunsmith is Hotel D'Vin's car park which I think has only one gate entrance to it, the hotel itself has high windows at the front with metal fencing and an oak/hard wood door so if quick could secure that for a time while we take the non-perishable foods.
The good thing about Winchester is most people who work here don't live here so would try to get home so hopefully it would be pretty deserted.

This is of course only a short term measure as you can never stay in 1 place for too long as the undead would gather!

As I live in England we don't have access to any guns unless you are in the army, part of only 1 special police unit based in London, or a farmer or a game's keeper who has a special license, so being near a gunsmith is one very lucky situation to be in here!!!

[vortec1]

My office is next to the morgue so I will get an early warnning. I am a Security Guard there so I will already be armed with my 9mm.

[homelitexl]

well that might be sweet i have no clue i recently quit my job so i'd probably have a beer in one hand and a remote in the other.

[EvilWeasel35]

I'd be in big trouble! I'm at Uni and there are an average of 10,000 people there at any one time, plus it's right next to the town centre, so I'd probably be completely overrun. Unless I can kill zombies with pens and folders everything would turn very quickly to :poo: Oh, and I don't have a car here either. :scare:

[DarthJoe8]

the remote. :loon:

:drinking:

[Devon]

Hmm. I would have to say the remote also

[Scottishzombie]

Good question.

Before I begin anybody picks on me for my grammar I will hunt u down!!!

So I work in a printing factory there's plenty of tools and machine parts that could be fashioned as weapons. My personal choice would be my T spanner it's about the size of a crowbar solid steel in the shape of a big T. I've no doubt it could smash a zombies skull like a boiled egg.

As for the factory it's got metal shutter door which is solid, there's grills on the windows so all in all I'd be safe in here.but I couldn't stay here I only live apporx 5 miles from my house and about 4 miles from my mums, so I'd have to get to my mum to make sure she was safe.

I'm basing this on the fast moving zombies ( I love a challenge) I reckon I could run home 5 miles no problem fighting all the way albeit there is a graveyard on the way but I am a tough bastdard! And I keep fit, because you never know when Z day is coming!!!

actually i was wrong the new homelite pro 46cc doesnt leak any oil, i should have checked seeing as i own one. there 250$ at home depot.

[Ironzey]

Here is my plan.

http://www.picturebay.net/img/guests/Escape_route.jpg

I would have my wife and son meet me near work using the red route. We would head north and take a unpaved road up to the mountains, I've been on this road quite a few times and there is almost never anyone up there. My second plan of escape would be to meet at the secondary meeting point gather our breath and head east it's just plains out east, this is not my first choice.

I would probably have to pick up my family but either way we would use the red route to get to and from our house to our primary way out of town North.

I think it would be pretty much smooth sailing in the early parts of an outbreak. My workcenter is out in the middle of nowhere, good visibility (360 degrees and 120 ft off the ground) controlled access to the airfield we even have a generator (I don't plan on sticking around that long but it would be a good fall back point in case the first two plans fell through.

The route to home might be kind of tough. It pretty much drives right along some pretty populated areas. Right along is way better than right though. If there is a big panic I figure it won't be too tough to just drive by, as all the panic will be where most folks live. Just don't stop for anything.

[Joebot]

My office is slowly getting prepared for the inevitable uprising.

[Lurker13]

I'm an electrician. I've got lots of tools on my truck but dont think theyd be much help with zombies. I've got an old double barrell shot gun, but it's at my sisters place and thats way to far if zombies were around. I guess I'd take the truck and head to my girls place. Her dad is on the same property, and it's out in the sticks. He's got lots of guns and ammo.

[Autumn]

I don't think I would be totally screwed, but I don't drive a car to my work. The grocery store where I am employed is only a few miles from my home, but it is also along one of the busiest streets in the area. Not only that, but I'm only a few blocks from a major highway on/off ramp and the city line. You know, the city line, when buildings begin to condense and the number of people living in an area dramatically increases.

Now that I think about it, I also don't have access to any real weapons unless I raid my neighbors house for his.

...

My God, I am screwed.

:scare: Will one of you come get me if the dead decide to rise?

[Darkness]

"I'm sure someone will, if they are close enough to you to get to you." :)

Just make friends with some gun enthusiasts.
Just remember not to ever call them gun nuts.

[mattifikation]

Yeah. Head to the airforce base. Because it's not like the military bases are *always* deserted and crawling with zombies when you get there.

I see you have it labeled "work," which tells me you work there. If you're IN the military, I highly advice not showing the hell up ANYWHERE where you can be reached by your superiors and told to get to work. Because work for the military will be "feed yourselves to zombies while the pentagon tries to figure out what's going on."

Nobody will fault you for going AWOL because nobody will left TO fault you for going AWOL.

note: Been drinking. May have misunderstood the map. Ignore this post if that's the case.

[kanUsurvive]

I work overnight stock at Wal-Mart. 10 at night until 7 in the morning. The doors stay locked and there is only about 9 people there. The only way in that would need fortified would be the very front main doors. Which would be no problem to barricade. If they get past that then we could always move to the back of the store into the break rooms, offices, and stock rooms. It would be easy to barricade in there and hard for the zeds to get in. We have plenty of food and water for awhile. If we need to make an escape there is cars about 20 feet away from the exits. I think I would have a pretty damn good chance at surviving.

You poor bastard! WALMART? Thats rough! Everyone else will be heading to YOU for supplies. Forget blocking the doors, they'll just drive thru the doors.

[buddy christ]

i work for the cable company and live less than a mile away from my office. i have a company gas card and tons of tools to bash heads in with. i would **** all of those zombies up cause i am used to ****ing all of my customers over. not to mention i would put in for overtime with this.

[Bob]

I would not only survive I would thrive.
I would start by taking one of the stake body trucks to haul my stuff in.
We could also load up the large stakebody with rednecks with guns and drive slowly through town. A quick stop at the local Piggly Wiggly for beer and we would be all set.

[mattifikation]

I work at Wal-Mart too. I'd be just fine in an outbreak because I'd get the crap out of there, fast.

Oh, for the record, driving through the doors is easier said than done. There are big poles coming out of the ground in front of the doors, to stop people from doing that.

[Mr. Grey]

I also live about a mile from work. My office is very gun-friendly (gotta love small republican hunter owned) business. I carry a pistol with me everyday (bad neighborhood) and I don't think I would have a problem getting back to my place to grab the rest.

[fraust]

I think I would survive.

I work at an airport. Not in the terminal, on the airfield.
If you know anything about airports, it is very difficult for any unauthorized person to get onto an airfield.
Tools are abundant, and there is cargo which could contain a very useful weapon.
Best of all, I could just run across the airfield and get into a plane.

[Bob]

I think it has become something of a joke with the secretaries.

My boss made it very clear taht our company doesnt allow guns in our trucks. He said that if he ever saw a gun in one of our trucks hed have to fire us! He said to make sure the only thing he can see in our glovebox is a cloth or towel and that no guns are showing. I told him I didnt even own a gun right now (my shotguns still not here) and he looked at me like i was crazy. He offered to sell me nine mil cheap, as long as I promised he'd never SEE it in my truck. There was alot of winking going on. Either he was saying I SHOULD carry a gun, or hes a little sweet on me! God i hope its the gun thing!:puke:

[Bob]

Several years ago I was walking down a hall and one of the Vice Presidents (now a president) walked past me carrying a pistol. I made some kind of offhand comment about the pistol and kept walking. I heard him call my name and when I turned around he was pointing said pistol at me and fired. (blank pistol) I said good thing for you I knew it was a blank pistol or I would have returned fire. We both laughed...

My guns stay at home. I don't have a concealed carry permit. I live in an "open carry" state, which means that I'm technically allowed to walk around with them holstered if they aren't concealed

Police, unfortunately, are probably not smart enough to know that. I don't feel like getting shot just for exercising my rights.

If I had a permit, I'd take my XD everywhere. Stores, beer runs, you name it. I'm not a church-goer though. At work, it would stay in the car since there wouldn't be any good way to conceal it wearing wal-mart approved clothing.

[homelitexl]

Do you take them when you go on a beer run?
How about to Church?

actually yes the sawnoff goes with me and the homelite pro is always in the back of the truck i sold the scout and got a 86 chevy dually pickup 454 big block like new for 900$.

[homelitexl]

and i almost forgot i don't go to church i sit around my place getting drunk instead.

[Bob]

I bet that new truck gets exemplary gas mileage.

You could use it to pull a horse trailer filled with guys with guns.

Put a big steel bumper on the front and just run zeds down...

[kiltedninja]

I work at a restaurant, and I only live a few miles from my home, so I think I could get some food, grab a hammer, and get the hell outta there.

[Darkness]

"If you work at a resturaunt that's anything like the one my Husband works for, I can think of TONS of weapons you could grab, that are far better than a hammer." :evil: ;-)

[Bob]

Perhaps one of our friends in the UK can help me with something.
It seems that I read somewhere this year that there was an initiative to control / Restrict / Register the big chefs knives due to the large number of crimes of violence involving knives.

[Bladezeta181]

I work a lot with piercings so I will be sure to use those instruments as I kill every zombie close to me in my sight.

That's ridiculous. I would hate to live over there with the disarmed sheep. Restricted cooking knives? What, you can only stab somebody with a *big* knife?

Next they'll have people registering their butter knives.

Do you have piercings in places that don't show when you have clothes on?

[Darkness]

"That has nothing to do with this conversation. Please take such comments to PM." :naughty:

[Bob]

Sigh!
Oh all right.
Before I go on topic, it would have been too personal to ask that via pm.
Done in the open it would have expected a surprising answer or rude comments to me, like "you'll never know old man" you get the idea.


On topic

What sorts of tools are used in performing piercings that could be used to fight the undead?

If I worked for a company that was a stickler for a weapon free environment about all I could do would be to hit a zed with a keyboard or perhaps use two mice like a set of nunchucks.

[elzombito5678]

I work in the deli department at Pathmark, so it's kind of a mixed blessing. I do have access to knives, hammers, and crowbars as weapons, but a supermarket is near impossible to fortify without taking into account the chaos of people rushing in and causing a scene that will bring the zombies anyway. so my best bet is to grab a couple tools, hightail it to my house, and hole up there. Just because I sell food, doesn't mean I have to become food lol.

[homelitexl]

hhahahahahahaha your boned because they will smell the meat and you can't fight forever. hahahahahahahahahahaha:lol::lol:

[Fawkes]

I work at a small company (about 10 people) which is pretty much in the country and has an office and small warehouse full of large heavy stock which could be used to block all entrances/exits if needed. Weapons wise we have lots of tools around and some machinery.

So I could survive the initial outbreak pretty easily but with not having much in the way of supplys at work and not many shops near (nearest would be about 20 mins walk in a village) Id soon have to leave and risk it :D

[tytanos14]

Thats a hard one i would probably try to barricade myself into a room no matter how many people wanted in and try to work my way up to the vent and finaly the Roof then Get to a Sturdy truck Hot Wire It And Get home to my guns and then get up on my roof and snipe as many of those Z's as i could after barricading my Windows and doors of course

[Creeping Death]

Well, I don't have a job because Im 15.
So, I'll say in school.

If zombies came to my school right now, I probably wouldn't make it.
I don't know all exits! :x

[South City Si]

Perhaps one of our friends in the UK can help me with something.
It seems that I read somewhere this year that there was an initiative to control / Restrict / Register the big chefs knives due to the large number of crimes of violence involving knives.

We have a big problem with kids in gangs stabbing each other and kids carrying them for 'protection'. But it's not everywhere, mainly inner-city estates. I think the knife restriction is probably an age limit for buying them restrictions apply like buying military stylr/hunting knifes.
Hunting is not a normal thing here so is not much need for hunting knifes and the like.

Guns are pretty much illegal, unless you are a games keeper or in the army. The cops don't even have them. They are highly restricted, therefore gangs will more likely use knifes than try to get guns.

[Curtista]

Probably not, because there are no weapons in the school, and there would be no where to go. :cry:

[Bob]

Knife laws never cease to amaze me.
Until recently I could only carry a knife with a 2 inch blade legally.
I was licensed to carry a gun but could not carry a decent sized knife.
Fortunately I live in the South where our politicians can still catch an occasional breath.
Most of the northern part of this country they have their heads so far up their aasses they can't breath and become brain dead.

So the law was amended and now I can carry as big a knife as I want.
Also there is no state law against automatic knives.
Unfortunately because the state law does not explicitly say I can carry an automatic knife the federal law kicks in. It was written by guess who?
Yup you are right, northern politicians.

[kanUsurvive]

You poor bastard! WALMART? Thats rough! Everyone else will be heading to YOU for supplies. Forget blocking the doors, they'll just drive thru the doors.

I never thought of that. Well, since they all would come there for supplies. I guess as soon as the 1st zed started banging on the door. I would drop him on his ass and get out of Dodge.

[the_velociraptor]

Depends. If the streets are too clogged, I'll hole up with my classmates in one of the buildings. The stairs are too well-constructed to be destroyed, but they can be blocked with desks.

[CAVU45]

I carry a 1911A1 with me (even to work), so weaponry wouldn't be a problem. I sometimes go to the range from work, so it isn't unusual for me to have at least one rifle locked in the trunk. If I could beat the rush I wouldn't have a problem getting home.

[Nameless1]

While I don't have any weapons around me to speak of. I do tend to work at night which might help me if the zeds started showing up. Getting back to my place and out again would be a snap. Not many people up at 1 or 2 in the morning.

[bootsy]

i work at freo docks in a warehouse so if the zeds started attacking i would get in one of the many small boats that are around and take of for America if i make it that far ill get to work acquiring weapons and a spotter ( im a sniper) and go back to Australia loaded with weapons and with my spotter and clean Australia of the zombies. :evil:

[iamperfet]

I work with my dad at his lake house and There usually only 5 people present, maximum ( My dad, myself, the cleaning lady, the Gardner and maybe his girlfriend)

The house has gates at all entrances which would be good for keeping any foes at bay. My dad is some what of a gun enthusiast and has maybe 15 weapons(assault rifles, high powered hand guns and more) in the house and usually 2 on his person.

The house it self has 2 bathtubs, so there would be plenty of water to store up. The one thing we are low on is food. For whatever reason they just don't keep too much food in that house, but it would probably be enough for 8-10 days.

I would be 50 miles from my home and therefore would be leaving my family behind, that would really upset me.

My plan would be to try and barricade the house as best I could and assess the situation.

[DarthJoe8]

I think I would drive one of the front end loaders we have here home....:drinking: scoop and smash :drinking:Just like in Soylent Green...:scare:

[homelitexl]

well im self employed so i dont have to worry bout this

[ZedHunter]

I'm currently unemployed.
So, I cant really answer the question. At my last job, yes I could. I pushed carts for 4-8 hrs a day. I could have used carts as a ramming tool. :)

[ZombieKat]

I work in an office with glass doors so that would be a definite NO:x

[Bob]

I work in a metal building with no windows the only glass is the front door.
Being a plumbing / hvac company there would be plenty of pipe and metal to fabricate anything. The Vulcan Plasma table will cut anything you can imagine.

[thanos0341]

I'd be good to go. I'm an armed ATM tech & carry a Glock 40, & there are 15 of us, all armed, plus we have a Mossberg tactical shotgun at work as well as 6 armored trucks with bulletproof windows.

Semper Fi

[Zombie Dad]

I work in a medical clinic, so if the outbreak were to start, this is where it would most likely makes it's first appearance. I might be okay. There are heavy doors, and plenty of things to create barricades. Depending on who is in the waiting room, I could round up some people to defend an area.
I have access to a master key, and that would allow me to grab tools in the facilities room, and scavenge for supplies.
The is one vending machine, and a lady who keeps candy in a bowl, so food is limited. There is a large supply of bottled water, so we are safe for a few days.
The main problem is that I'm in the city and live 20 miles away. There would be a great risk to leave for home.

[CAVU45]

Being semi-retired now work isn't an issue I have to be concerned with. If I were out and about though, doing volunteer work (I help vets get their VA benefits) I could still get home with relative ease (It's only ten miles away). I still carry a pistol, either full size or compact depending on the season, and usually have a long arm locked in the trunk for my forays to the range.

[homelitexl]

i also have a chainsaw in the back of my truck and sometimes my 308. added to the miiix

[kiltedninja]

I work at a restaurant, washing dishes. But We have food, only two windows upstairs, swinging metal gates that lock over the doors, like 103413241 tools in the place, two meat cleavers, an ungodly amount of liquor. sometimes we have pie, and a lot of the men I work with are former soldiers. The downfall, I'm right on the corner of a main road smack in the middle of the F--kin city.

[jackthesurvivor]

I probably have one of the best chances of survival, I am a gamekeeper in rural England. Myself and the family live mainly off the land eating game shot by myself, and vegatables home grown.

If i was at work, I would be somewhere on my land with an ATV loaded with a 12 gauge over/under shotgun, a .22 rifle, an axe and a machette due to my line of work. I could be back at my house within 25 minutes of hearing about an outbreak. My wife works from home and so she doesnt need "fetching" I would hop in the landrover with my semi-auto shotgun and about 50 12 gauge round and my axe probably, fetch the kids and bring em back. One at my house Id gather my other 2 rifles and all 6 shotguns in my possession. Then I'd take my two son's outside (14 and 17 years old) we'd grab all the wood and nails, nailgun ect from the garage and board up the windows which we have very few of. Then becuase of my line of work Id gather lots of wire mesh fence I have in the garage and provided it was safe we would begin to erect a premiter fence, I probably have enough fencing and posts to build a fence all the way round my home about 20ft away. Now, the reaaaaaally good part to our survival; I have a large game freezer full of deer, rabbits and bird (pidgeon, pheasent ect) We have a large vegetable patch and lots of bottled water aswell as a fresh water stream running about 100 yards from my house. Once the perrimiter is secure I would start armoring my landrover with sheet metal that I also have in the garage so that IF we needed to bug out or go out for supplies/ammo that it could be done safely. So I think that gives us a good sustainable way of survival.

Now to the fun part :) The killing of zeds!
In my house we have firearms;
1 x semi automatic 12 gauge shotgun
2 x sidebyside 12 gauge shotguns
1 x overunder 20 gauge shotgun
1 x .410 gauge bolt action shotgun
1 x .410 gauge single break barrell shotgun
2 x .22lr rifles, one with a scope and flashlight for lamping and the other wth just iron sights.
Then i have about 400 12gauge cartridges, 250 20 gauge cartridges, 150 .410 cartridges and roughly 200 .22lr rounds

We also have alot of melee weapons;
multiple crowbars
multiple spades, shovels and gardening forks
multiple axes and hatchets
multiple machettes and other large blades
several knives
a chainsaw

And where we live is atleast a 20 minute drive from a small town and even further from any cities.
Also got two dogs if that helps at all

So I think me and my family have quite a good chance of survival :)

[homelitexl]

hell yeah man a fellow chainsaw user hey what would you take for one of those side by side double barrels big fan of them i got an aya 16 gauge but i want another.

[jackthesurvivor]

haha, not for sale my freind :)
But using a chainsaw is possibly the best fun you can have!
Also forgot to mention I currently have about 240 litres of diesel either in my ATV, Landrover or in gas cans :D

Also within 30 miles of me I know of atleast 3 other farmers and gamekeepers with even more guns and ammo than me, and there is a gunsmith/shop in the town 20 miles away from me that not many people know about, I have to say I cannot wait for the Zombies to even try me!

[UNDEAD FRED]

I am basicly screwed trying to get home. It takes me allmost a hour just to go the average 25 miles from work to home on southern california freeways on a average day. That would be a lot of undead yuppie scum walking around.

[kiltedninja]

I live three miles from work, so I might be fine.

[homelitexl]

what kind of saw do you have i might have parts for it i kinda collect chainsaws

[Bob]

As I have said a number of times throughout this thread.
Yes
I have no doubt I would make it home.

[DeAdLY SiNZz]

I work and live on an Air force base, i'm in the air force i'd be just fine

[CityOfChicago]

I'd probably get croaked. They'd have us running around trying to do the law and order thing, so I'd be dealing with it front and center. :guns:

But seriously - if it were the dead rising to eat people - I'd telll my partner "Funk this - nobody can deal with this :poo:. I'm gonna go take care of my fam. Maybe, mayyyybe, I'll come back. But dont hold your breath"

Yep, your probilly going to get a family disturbance call, some crazy guy covered in blood is staggering around in the street, other people are sitting on the curb, and front lawn, holding thier hands to horrible wounds on thier arms, and face, and you got to deal with the crazy guy in the street that seems to be in a trance, on on heavy meds.:scare:

[Bob]

COC
Just don't wait too long to make that decision...
The early stages are going to be very difficult.

[UNDEAD FRED]

Dispatch: Car 14 riot reported at 13th Street hospital emergency room, reports of unkown assialants biting people

COC: Sorry dispatch, Im on my coffee break

[kiltedninja]

:lol: All the cops on this site are probably thinking the same.

[CityOfChicago]

I'd do my job, but there comes a point....and I think NOTLD is that point. I mean, I've dealt with some hairy scat before, but zombies aint one of 'em.

[kiltedninja]

If you're a pi...er a cop, then of course you're gonna deal with some crazy people, and crazy shit, but still, nothing compares to Zday status.

[CityOfChicago]

That's what I'm screaming

[kiltedninja]

It would be a trade off at my work, I'd have some good supplies, but I'm three and a half miles into town farther than normal.

[UNDEAD FRED]

I work in new home construction, so the people who actually have work now are some rough looking characters, a lot of them can handle themselves if the dead start to walk. One advantage is all the wood, plywood, and nails laying around, to board your place up with.

[kiltedninja]

And concrete, don't forget the concrete.

[mattifikation]

I still haven't found a new job. By the time I find something in this god forsaken town that isn't minimum wage, the dead actually will have started to walk.

[3030]

Well since I am now working at a very large farm, I am pretty well off. There is a lot of land with really good deer hunting and small game everywhere. We also have two very large barns with reinforced doors, one containing a mechanics area to self service everything on the farm, and the other that is filled to the top with fruits and vegetables. The produce barn has it's own massive refridgeration unit containing the fruits over night, plus crates of water and gatorade. There are 4 wheelers, box trucks, and pick-ups everywhere.
It's a family owned business where EVERYONE hunts, and they all live on the property, thus everyone could be armed and ready within minutes, less for some. I live about 4 miles down the single road, however have a .38 in the car with a box of ammo at all times.

Safe shelter, check. food and water, check. defensive weapons, check. transportation and emergency supplies, check and check. I'm all good. :)

[kiltedninja]

3030, if you've got a good perimeter, and good supplies, you're set.

My work, if I had to stay, is pretty good off, we've got a big concrete and wooden building, three exits, all have gates and deadbolts, no windows downstairs, plenty of food, liquor, beer, alternative light sources, some weapons, and the booth seats are really comfortable, so we can sleep there.

[elfonutopia]

My office is at the 4th floor of a 7 story building (inc basement parking - not gated). There are 3 emergency stairwells (all closed during peacetime) and 2 elevators from B to 6. In every floor there is a stocked pantry, badge-restricted doors and AFAIK weapons rooms on every floor (for guards to use in case of hostilities).

I guess, I could initially survive but we would have to move elsewhere because its a deathtrap. Food and water would eventually run out. Genset could run for 3 days and drums of diesel are stocked to refuel them BUT I wouldnt dare go down (ground floor, outside the building) just to do that.

The greatest challenge is escaping. On the outbreak, there is a big chance. BUT days after the outbreak, I'm sure there would be a zed mob preventing access to vehicles parked.

[TypH]

I think I would have a good chance, cause most my work is done at my home office an for other job it's outside but mainly in the middle or nowhere with less people so I think I would have a good chance:evil:

[Bob]

The short answer is YES.
I am constantly armed.
I live about 3 miles from work.
In my locker at work
500 shotgun shells
1000 rounds of .223
Approx 600 rounds of .308

I know some of you are thinking yea right Bob you are full of it.
All I can do is assure you I am telling the truth.
If a picture would help I will take one.

[CAVU45]

I believe you completely. I want to work where you do. Being semi-retired has its advantages, but it can get pretty damned boring at times.

[mattifikation]

I'm not allowed to carry a pocket knife where I work. *grumbles*

Up at one of the sporting goods stores in the area, some of the clerks open carry while they're working. Bad-freakin-ass.

[kiltedninja]

A knife is something I have while I'm at work. I have my pocket knife and my Ka-bar in my backpack. Not saying it's gonna get me through, but I've got something.

[zbuddy]

I'd be on campus...... so I'd just run for my house through the mountains/rail road tracks.

[Bob]

Cav
It's a shame we live so far apart.
I think we could have some fun at the range and stuff.


The people I work for are big time hunters.
They hunt domestic and furrin critters.
The dad spends more than I make on Taxidermy
He shot a Siberian Bear last year then took the boys to Argentina to hunt birds.
I have not heard but this may be an African year.

[unnamedbaby77]

I work from home...so the least armed I ever am is, sidearm and small fixed-blade knife.....even if I were to walk around the house and workshop unarmed I would still be within arms reach of something deadly at almost ALL times...the bathrooms don't have weapons in them but again I generally always do....

[Sammo909]

I work in a department store so on the plus side I've got food & drink (mostly soda and snacks), a hardware section and camping section to loo- um, salvage. Of course this means almost the entire front wall is made of glass, that'll keep out the breeze but not much else.

If the front entrance is swarmed but the rear is safe (or vice versa) then I'd grab a weapon, either a tomahawk or crowbar and run to the car/check out the traffic. If both entrances are blocked or the traffic looks suicidal then I'd take my weapon and some food & drink with maybe a tarp or even a small tent from camping and head for the gardening section. Inside there is an arch with pots hanging from it that almost reaches the 'ceiling', I'd clamber up it and break through the plastic panels so I can reach the roof and sit tight for as long as needed. Let's hope that's not too long.

Since there's no guarantee I'll have early warning (not that finding Zeds on your doorstep is any kind of early) but if the first time I notice the undead rising is when I hear noisy clomping along the steel sheets that make up the top deck area and it turns out to be a blood-drenched corpse instead of a colleague and there's more downstairs around me then I might have to just drop some large/heavy boxes down both staircases, turn the conveyor onto down and hope nothing downstairs nudges the off button then clamber across the ventilation to... nowhere really. Well, at least I could grab a section of the spare racking and use it as a club, it's not too heavy but it's length is good.


Hmm, not the best chances in the world but I could be worse off. I guess worst-case scenario is I end up stuck on the roof LaMOE style living in a tent surrounded by potted plants for fruit & veg with tarpaulin rain catchers, spending my time tending the garden and repeatedly dropping and hauling back up a ten kilo weight with a rope tied to it.

Oh, and as for what I have on me at work, all I have that could be used as a weapon are a stanley knife, my belt and boots. It's not even a real Stanley knife, the bloody thing has a safety catch that retracts the blade after it catches on anything, so if you want to cut up a box you have to bring the blade out eight or more times. Friggin' OH&S will be the death of us all.

[CorpseControl]

If i were at work, i would be pretty isolated, its a resort in the backwoods, not many people besides the wealthy go there. There is also a marina i could steal a boat from, the hangar is out of the question because i have no idea how to fly a plane. So if i were to stay and barricade the kitchen i work in at said resort, i would be ok for a while, having enough food and water to last at least 5 months. If i were at school however, i would be screwed, its downtown, and a lot of students go there, so an infected person could easily get in and not be noticed amongst a crowd at first. We do have a decent amount of viable zombie killing weapons though, cleavers, large blunt objects, and our knives are sharp and heavy enough to pierce a skull with a well placed strike, especially if you strike from the side instead of from the top.

[mrlaughingman]

well for me turning something into a weapon at work is easy because i am in the military. i am fully preped for an attack.

[CAVU45]

It's not a problem for me. I'm armed 99% of the time, carrying at least a compact 9mm pistol.

[Bob]

If I have on pants I am armed.

[homelitexl]

i with bob on that one if i got on pants i got a weapon somewhere on me :lol:

[mattifikation]

I work at a gas station. The busiest one in town. It's right in the middle of everything. If the dead started to walk while I was at work, I'd be just fine because I would be out the friggin door.

[UNDEAD FRED]

If I have on pants I am armed.

So what happens if you are only in your underwear?

[homelitexl]

trick question i dont wear underwear:lol: id say hes within reach of a gun still

I work at a subway 5 minutes from my house. We have a sharp paddle for the microwave as well as peanutbutter cookies of death.

[Bob]

Peanut Butter Cookie Shuriken?
More effective than buckshot on allergic Zombies

[knarF]

Well i work a fabrication company, so there is tons (litterally) of metal around; poles, tubes...
Then there is all the weapons like hammers and saws.

However, the workshop it's self isn't very zombie proof it's got a 6 meter wide door that's always open.

I live like 25+ miles away from it too, so i would basically be screwed.

[50 cal]

We just got a new load of AK74's and a bunch of pallets of 5.45x39 ammo in. The zombies would be in poor shape around my neck of the woods.:)

We have pallets of 7.62x39 and all different kinds of AK47's also.


Hmm, what would I grab first? :lol:

Working at a firearm and ammo importer is a load of fun. Get first pick of all the new goodies when they hit the dock. And get it at 10% over what it cost the boss.

See what you kinda did with your job was, trade safety for weaponry.
Most people don't have much they can use but their job is a more secure building. What you have is opposite. :P
Either way most people are to try and get away from their jobs so you are in luck. You can get away with more weapons. Lol.
