How, why and when would you do it and/or not do it? would you look for a specific person and if so why? and what kind of survivors would you prefer to group with you? people handy with guns or handy with other survival skills? (farming, navigation, carpentry, fishing, metalworking, mechanical skills, etc.)

id do it immediately and id find a doctor that can farma nd know how to shoot well:):lol:

The first thing to think about is, who are most important for short term survival? Then you start to think about the long term survival skills needed.


Ideally you would want a mix of people with different skills. High on the list would be those that have military training or medical skills. Next would be people that have trade skills like electrician, mechanic,ect... Then farmers,hunter/trapper,fisherman ect..

I'd seek out loved ones first, but after that, I would definitely want a doctor, someone with military training, and someone with farming experience. I would immediately seek out family, and then once we got the situation assessed (news, internet, radio, etc) we could better plot out our next move as far as where and how to seek out other survivors.

The only people I would search for would be my husband and son, if we were not together already. The rest of my family is too far away--14 hours by car! This I would do right away. The more time that had passed, the less likely that I would find them.

Afterwards, I would not seek out any certain type of person. Any survivors will do. Anyone who can survive a zombie attack has already got survival skills that will be useful. A strong leader is a must. Unfortunately, a lot of the doctors would be killed at the hospitals, so doctors will be hard to find..let alone 5 of them.:lol:

A lot of skills can be learned. I would rather be with a group of people that are trust-worthy and unified than people just gathered for their skills.

Zombreach, you make a lot of good points here. It would be wonderful to find a group of survivors that were all trustworthy and working towards a common goal. :)

McGeyver mechanical whiz.

Not fair, McGeyver could solve the zombie apocalypse with duct tape, WD-40, chewing gum and a box of paper clips!


Seriously though, farming and hunting are a lot more difficult than they sound, especially farming. And I think food is lower in priority than security, but definitely higher than repair or build skills. Can't fight or build on an empty stomach.

My next point sort of hopes you have seen the film, No Country for Old Men, lets say you have your loved ones with you, your vehicle is low on gas, you have decided to head to Mexico. Ok, you see a gas station no visable signs of zombie or human. You stop the car, you all exit & have a look around. You see nothing, so you go to put gas in the tank, ( the pump is working ) you fill up, put the cap back on & you see mr psycho ( i forget the characters name ) in the front seat, he "invites" himself along.
Any ideas?
