Patrick:
There's also the 'ammunition' thing.

New dude, off the topic of the thread: being condescending in your first few posts is not the way to win friends anywhere, much less this place.

Secondly, your zombie plan is shit.

You're coming off as trying too hard to take it as a military operation. It isn't. The hypothetical zombie scenario is not against free thinking, intelligent creatures. You're overthinking it and that leads to death. Ever notice how it's almost always the military guys and police officers who get killed off first in a zombie movie? That's cause they're trained in combat against humans and you seem to be rather overconfident.

Your plan sounds suitable for holding off human targets, not zombies. Firing off rounds is only going to attract more and more zombies and you're going to have to sleep sometime, they don't. I figure if your planned initial destination were inaccessible from the ground floor, you would have pointed that out. Within a couple days of shooting stragglers, you're going to have dozens of the fuckers bearing down on you. Sure, you'll pick off a couple here and there, but once a couple slip through, they're going to get in and devour your entire group. For that matter, are you considering an exact amount of people you're bringing compared to that two weeks' worth of food? Unless this dude's living in a bomb shelter, that two weeks' worth of food becomes increasingly less likely to sustain any sizable group for two weeks. Especially considering you're talking about a vehicle capable of holding 20-30 people. Unless the guy's living in a mansion, you're not going to be able to maintain that many people. You should never, in any circumstance, deal with a situation like that with any more than a dozen people. Tensions will run high and problems will arise.

The next big problem, and probably the biggest, is the transport. It's hard enough to manuever a sedan through blocked highways, you are not getting something big enough to carry that many people down a blocked highway, especially heading for the Northwest US. Secondly, did you even consider fuel? Unless you are intimately familiar with the entire route and all possible detours you may have to make in order to get around blocked roads, you are absolutely fucked on that. Do you really like the idea of running out of gas halfway through the Nevada desert with 20+ people to take care of? This leads me to my last point as to what's wrong here: supplies. If you get stranded or run out of gas, you are fucked for supplies. Even with the world's absolute greatest luck, it's still going to probably take you close to a week to get up there. Can you carry enough supplies to last your entire group that way? What if you hit one of the myriad snags that would come up? Is your dwindling supply going to hold out? Do you have ample supplies for when you arrive at your destination?

The last part of your post is where it really falls apart. Seriously, read the fucking thread, man. Explosives? What in the fuck are you going to use explosives for? Maybe occasionally clearing wreckage, but that's a pretty rotten idea. Explosives aren't going to do shit against a zombie, you need to destroy the head. You shouldn't BE engaging them unless they're getting close to begin with, which is why a close quarters weapon is always going to be the optimal choice over a firearm. They don't make noise, they're usually lighter and they serve multiple uses (Such as a crowbar or hatchet). You're not supposed to be fucking Rambo. You're not going to survive if you try to off every zombie you encounter, you should be running.

To summarize: your zombie plan is shit, read the thread or the Zombie Survival Guide.

Do you think a sports store attendant will ask me to leave if I ask them to explain to me how good a baseball bat or cricket bat is as a weapon?

OnewingedAngel:
Depends on whether they are a believer in your cause or not.

Hmm, I'd have to go to Los Angeles harbor or Marina Del Rey or something to steal a boat. No way am I going to try and find shelter in Los Angeles. Otherwise I'm flying to Philadelphia and associated bunker. I'll bring twinkies. Lots of them.

0bsessions:
How do you propose surviving on a boat? How do you plan on getting a plane to Philadelphia, are you a pilot?

For that matter, why would you go from one overrun city to another? That doesn't even make sense. If there's a bunker there, it'll either be overrun or full of survivors before you even get there.
