plans for the inevitable undead uprising
SonofZ3:
I understand the idea about using what you have, which is why I like the idea of firearms and a baseball bat. Two things I have access to without getting 15 feet from my bed. Things I can get immediately in the event of a zombie attack.
Melodic:
I've got a Colt 1911 in the cabinet in my hallway (completely legally, I might add. Also in that cabinet is a folder full of papers that say I'm allowed to own this thing). If a zombie outbreak gets going, I go oldschool on their asses.
PS: I'm totally making a Google Earth escape plan right now.
KharBevNor:
Guys, fucking seriously. Have you ever seen a guy being beaten with a baseball bat? I have. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO KILL THE ZOMBIES FAST ENOUGH. Hell, just a sturdy stick will serve you better than a baseball bat.
onewheelwizzard:
Google Earth is a great idea.
So here's my plan (and you can find all the essential elements on Google Earth!).
As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I'm very close to a perfect anti-zombie fort. It is at the following coordinates:
S University Ave @39.943920, -75.196580 (Philadelphia PA).
Doing a Google Earth search of that location will actually give you a picture of the structure. It's an oval steel wall 40 feet tall and vertically corrugated, making it utterly unclimbable. On the inside there's a sizable air-conditioning plant (read: near-infinite water supply) as well as an open area large enough to land a helicopter in. It's absolutely secure if the doors are locked, and it's right next to and allows access to an elevated freight track (which I would expect to be a good way to get around a zombie-infested city, considering that there's hardly ever anything alive up there to begin with) that furthermore allows access across the river into the downtown area as well as into the suburbs.
The best part is that it's a 5 minute run or 2 minute bike ride from where I live (3914 Spruce St, 5 blocks away) and very few people know it exists, despite driving past it on a daily basis. In other words, within 15 minutes of hearing about zombies, I am secure. Not necessarily armed, or with enough food to last more than a week or two, but at least secure and hydrated for a few days without worry.
I feel like that's as good a start as I can hope for, considering the fact that I live in a city and my transportation is limited to a bike.
ZeikHunter:
Cool, something I actually know something about. I haven't read the entire thread, but I'm guessing its mostly people outlining their plans. So here's mine.
Short Term: Gather available & mobile family (sorry grandma), load into truck, and proceed to an associates' house (approx 4 mi down 1 road). He's well stocked for the short term (approx 2 weeks) and lives in an easily defensible cul-de-sac with LEOs and former military. Once in position, I'll cover the exposed rear of the house from the second-story window, overlooking the backyard and empty lot. He and his wife will cover the front of the home.
Long Term: One of my associates' neighbors has a vehicle suitable for transporting 20-30 persons safely from our location to suitable property in the NW United States. Long-term survival in my current location is unfeasible without undue risk.
Weapons include semiautomatic rifles, pistols, and explosive devices. Bladed and blunt impact weapons are not believed to be effective counter-zombie devices, seeing as how the most likely method of infection occurs with close contact, or contact with contaminated biological matter, a standoff of 5-10 meters is preferred.
