Your Zombie prep

Ok this should generate some traffic, Dfg ;)
*****

Guys, Girls. Gather round! Soon enough a Shit Hit The Fan or Zombie situation will arise. Why? Well judging the outrage from Wikileaks (no, fuck /b/) and the IMF going down the shitter somewhat, I started to wonder what life after the collapse of the known world would be like.

This led me to have a 2 day "bug out" in my room, in a bit of a nervous mood, convinced Zombies would be banging at my window, or gangs of thugs were ruling the streets, looting whatever they could find.

Now without filling out one of those .jpg templates where you have a bag, location, final boss etc, this thread is to discuss your action plan in an event of the end of the world as we know it.
*****

Where I am is luckily close to an Army base, and due to work, I know the gate codes. If this plan is successful, I can take cover there. If not then I know of an abandoned warehouse just outside my City which is in the middle of nowehere, and a huge sunken motorway seperates myself and the City. Near this warehouse is a farmers' abode. If they haven't already died or fucked off, then there comes my mid range weapon. A shotgun.
Of course I would leave after a few days (maybe) after assessing the situation.
I would try and make my way to the coast, or find civilization after raping, pillaging and trying to emulate Mad Max.

My Bug Out Bag contains among others, the following:
First Aid kit
Machete
Bin liners
Food + Nutrition for 3 days
2 water bottles (500ml)
Water cleansing tablets
Drugs/Meds
Parachute cord (10m)
Penknife
Change of undies/socks
Hi-Viz vest
Pen/Paper pad
Condoms (for water)
Anti histamine pills
Batteries
Maglite
Cyalume chemlights (2x12hr Blue, 1x8hr Green)
Piece of paper with ID, DOB and info on
Gas mask (S-10 + Spare filter)
Beanie and Shemagh

Can't think of any more. Oh a few Mars Bars lol.

Your input? ;)

    You're most likely to be met with hostilities at the army base.

    My main plan would be to find a boat and stay at sea for awhile. Possibly land on one of the numerous uninhabited islands around here. Stay close to the boat in case anything happens.

    Otherwise, I'll just dig a hole in my backyard and sit in there.

    Oh and I'll be wearing a leather duster.

    1L of water is half what you're supposed to drink each day. You'd be fucked.

    I'd probably barricade this place up as good as I could manage. My neighbors wouldn't last 5 minutes, they're old women. When they died off, I'd use the roof and get into their bathroom windows (this works on either side of the house so I could hit both houses this way).

    When in there, I'd gather supplies from their houses. Any food I could manage, water etc. So long as the water stays running, I'd be alright for a while.

    Not sure what I'd do for food after that runs out though. No stores around here for miles.

    I'd just refill them using water purification tablets and voila! 1 in bag, 1 in hand.

    For the most part. As long as the water source isn't completely fucked. If it's ridiculously gross I doubt the tablets would work completely.

    This kind of shit is why I don't like the idea of anarchy. Most people have no idea how to survive in the wilderness, forage for food, plant crops, find a water source, make shelter, etc. If we didn't have tools either we'd be fucked. You'd have to band together with people or die.

    Ive always been entertained by the idea of 'zombie fishing' in such a scenario, where im hanging out on the roof and there are an assload of zombies on the ground. Id set up this rig where i lower a rope down with a doll, a zombie grabs onto it, i pull it up, kill it, then eat it

    A Hatchet might be more valuable than a Machete in the long run. Plenty of reasons to cut down trees and work with wood.

    Also what about a general collapse of the world as we know it? Economic fuckups, open rebellions and general Wikileaks-fuelled hishaps (if they gain support, and using as an example)
  • edited December 2010
    All sorts of supplies and guns and shit.

    I'd also try to find some sort of a spear (Poking them through the eyes and shit) and a large blade like a machete or something. We're talking about slow, retard zombies, right?

    I have a Tramontia and the quality of the steel and shape of the blade is much nicer than that. It was about £20. Will edit with a pic tomorrow.

    ProTip: Get some tape around the handle - it looks like the same shit quality wood as mine and that feel to bits the first day of use - self amalgamating tape will be best, makes a nice rubber handle.

    Fixed.

    Also, I heard those protesters who fucked with the prince have been caught due to the CCTV that's fucking everywhere in England. You can't have a good protest/riot without being identified over there anymore.

    Balaclavas, motherfucker!

    No srsly. Most of the protesters there were fucking n00bs. Majority are middle class wankers finding a reason to 'make their voices heard' because someone watched Forrest Gump a few times, and thought they were in the fucking 60s.
    The people that have half an idea cover their faces. Forward Intelligence teams are everywhere! Check out the website FitWatch (google it).

    150608_marcvallee_anti_bush_protest_fit_blog.jpg

    Absolute cunts, so people (who are intelligent enough) cover their faces, hold banners in front of the lens or generally stay well hidden.

    That said, once everything is over, feel free to take your balaclava/scarf off and enjoy the after party like I did here...this was taken a while back though

    Next time I hope there are more people willing to fuck shit up. For too long have we let the hippies rule! People need to turn up in ballistics vests, gas masks (I fear CS will be used at some point soon), with decent shields and molotovs.

    Dear troll, if I 'desecrated' it then I wouldn't be up there, admitting my guilt, would I? The person who desecrated it is the other one in the photo. I actually got some good shots up there as it was pretty high. Only reason I was up there other than to pose for that photo.

    My machete is the nicest so far - looks like it is the only one that has been used rather than bought for an ornament. It is sharp as fuck where it needs to be too, its a nice tool for splitting, whittling and feathering wood, taking off bark and small trees down and, chpping waste and digging holes to plant things in.

    It is a much better tool to make a steak - even on a fence post - than an axe or a hand axe.

    Also, with the shape of the blade, it is very well balanced for me. I got the heaviest weighted end of blade I could so I could grind it down to balence for me, but I really have not had to - having used hand tools as hell of a lot I have strenth and stamina in my arms - the little extra weight does not bother me but it does come in handy when chopping at things.

    Well considering mine came on Sunday at least give me a chance to sharpen it :p

    Also I didn't realise we were playing booze top trumps, there is a half drunk bottle of Laphroaig by my feet..

    Cheers for the hint on the self amalgamating tape for the handle I was going to use electrical tape.

    Btw did you make the sheath? Your machete looks well used..

    Get out and use the knife before you sharpen it - learn where you want it to be razor and where you want it to be a nice chopping blade, that is the beutey of a heavy knife with a deep curve in the blade.

    You do no want to get it all razor only to chip it up where you are heavy with it and then chip the blade too much - well, all good working knives get little chips or gouges - say you are chopping a fence up - it is something I regularly use the machete for - it may have a stray nail or bit of wire and it can damage the blade when it is really sharp, learn what bits of the knife you want to do what with.

    Use it for everything you can think of just to get used to it. The one I had when I was a kid was used in the far east in the '60's and I am sure it was made out of a leaf spring from a truck, it was a beast.

    Booze top trumps is not something to play with me - however, of people fancied a thread of 'post all of your booze' I think that would be a good thread, might make it.

    Yeah, sometimes the selfamalgamating tape can be hard to get hold of unless you go to a plumbing supplier, but its something I allways make sure I have a stock of in - you never know when you need it and you can get it at decent prices from the internet - that and bags of paracord. I have picked up bags of maybe 2 miles of paracord in the past for £3 - its in random leanghts 5 meters long to 1200 meters long, all different thicknesses.

    Any one that needs a machete for work needs a supply of cheap paracord.

    The sheath came with it, it is just some thick PVC thing with rivets at major parts. When that one falls to bits I will make a new one in its pattern with old leather boots and some old jeans probably.

    Good info there, rocker. I have to say, I have 100ft of paracord, cut into 10ft lengths. Will be using it when I go home from Uni for xmas, as a mate of mine is like teh 22 year old version of Ray Mears and he offered to sharpen it for me, but I think it will be like a day long survival course.

    I'd fucking love a Nagant (was playing COD:WaW last night). Pew pew pew!

    Just a pointer, for anyone who thinks that "raiding the mall" is a good option...even now in the post-xmas sales, have you seen what's gone on? In UK someone got SHOT in the leg, stampedes in the USA and hordes of wailing females.

    Plan ahead, sirs. Plan far ahead.
