my house is fucking perfect…..for a few weeks atleast..all my family members are upstairs and i lock all my doors every night. the only way zeds can get to my house is from the front back is gated well. upstairs i have a deck looking over my driveway perfect spot to pop zeds all day. in my room i have my benelli 12 gauge and one box of buck shots 3 1/2s the rest are in ammo boxes under my bed. also under my bed is 2 bolt actions 308s and another over under 12 gauge. i say as of now (it is growing every day) i have enough ammo to last me for awhile. my town is pretty populated however where i live is pretty spread out so id guess that after about 1 week my house will be pretty calm after i spend days killing them. so my ammo will prop last me a good few months.

To start off i probably use my gun to kill the main horde at my door. but as thier numbers start to die id switch to a bat or my machete. why? because i assume that the zeds are attracted to sound and id want to keep it quiet so more zeds dont come my way. after i have killed off every zombie i can see or on my street ( yes id have to do it im probably actually definetly the only one capable of it) id quickly go home and get all my and my familys belongings that we will need in order; food, water, etc. then i make a run to safeway which is about a half mile up the road. obviously with my gun and any capable male and arm him with one of my guns. once at safeway id be ruthless, take what i need help no one i have a family to look after i cant slow down and bring in a weak family of individual that will just slow me down. ill admit it id even kill normal people if they take what i need. yes you can argue if youre that ruthless and cold what seperates you from being a zombie? my answer..its called staying alive, after i get the swing of things and orginized and all that then ill start taking people in, but until then i need to stay alive and getting side tracked helping a little liberal women who said its wrong to have guns is begging me to help her…um no thanks. after that id just start boarding shit up and making sure other family and close friends are on their way to my house. then ya just bunker down!

I would just live in a sewer or dig a huge hole in the ground, find something with holes in it, and cover the hole in the ground with it. Along with weapons and ammo, of course… :P

I am in decent shape with the only true issue being the
location of my home (suburbial phoenix) I have seven shotguns five
.45 pistols five hunting rifles and two Chinese assault rifles all
within fifteen feet of my bed. (served after 9/11 became paranoid)
food wise I’ve got packaged like ramen and other canned goods and
numerous bath tubs ready go be filled with water. Wholes that is
being done I would snap off the fan blades of ceiling fans for
bracades along with internal doors such as closets. Next step would
be to call friends and search for all the batteries in my house
while someone else siphens* fuel out of our five vehicles. Once
everything is barricaded I would take the fold away ladder and put
it through the sky light to the roof in case some how the walkers
got in. As a final percaution I would grap my fireworks (now legal
in Arizona) and bring them to the roof as a way to signal survivors
or distract walkers by throwing the bombs at distant objects. I
feel confident howeverEven the cockyiest bad asses can crack and
break down in the heat of the moment saw it in Iraq/Afghanistan.
Stay frosty when that day comes boys. OOORAH.

In my case, I live in a highly-populated neighbourhood, the majority of which are children or teenagers living with their parents. So, the likelihood of the undead population in my current area are zeds within or under the age of 16.

I live in a one-story house, three bedroom, with a roommate. The house is one street away from the neighbourhood exit and onto a road that travels along near the highway of I-4, and a pitstop for semi’s.

Our initial plan, between my roommate and myself, would be to grab our emergency kit composed of emergency rationing materials, (canned food, ten-year lasting pre-cooked bacon, bi-weekly updated water bottle supply), a flashlight, spare batteries, steel wool, matches, first-aid kit, and a loaded pistol with extra ammo (license included, of course.), and make for the living room. With our spare plywood we keep in garage, we’d seal off doors and windows with plywood, and any remaining furniture.

In the event of a breach or depletion of our food rations, we’d make a break for the garage, drive off for nearby semi-park, enter into a grocery store via crash-force, scavenge what we can, and make a break for god-knows-where.

I live on the seventh floor, and the building staircase is closed off from the floor hall by a pretty good door, so hopefully the apartments on the floor won’t be attacked directly. Even if the hall is compromised, there’s only some five feet between the apartment doors and the opposing walls, so the zombies will have a hard time getting through by force of numbers. Even if we’re dealing with fairly smart zombies, they can’t do much by way of getting a running start. I suppose I could block my main door with a bit of furniture, but I’d starve soon. Less than ideal. So, hoping the 7th floor remains unassailed.

two story homes on the edge of town or more towards the countryside are probably the best if there are no other sorts of heavily defendable positions in the town.

break down and disassemble the staircase(s) to remove any ability for zombies or unwanted visitors to get to the second story of the house. make sure YOU have some way to get up and down (ladder, rope, etc.)

also, always barricade exterior doors and windows. with sturdy doors, heavy duty locks and door bar locks are a good way to go.

dont forget to move most of what you need while you can upstairs before you take it apart.

i think everyone is forgetting the fact that zombies come from people and we are all people, so we will have like a 90% chance of becoming a zombie and attacking the people with the tricked out houses and getting our faces blown off.

Angryvikingman.
Please understand that snow is just frozen water. How can that cause dehydration. It will melt in your mouth. Now as far as being able to eat enough to stay hydrated without causing hypothermia that is the big question. That being said picking up a handfull of snow for a quick “drink” is not a bad idea. Eating snow in large ammounts is a horrible thing………..agree?

I still stand by my now erased statement that blood is a food and not a beverage. Check out the SAS survival manual in the food section. It is no wrmy manual but is a well written and imformative book. I have also attended survival classes when it was stated that fodd is a food not a beverage not matter the situation. One pint of blood is not going to keep you hydrated. You can drink your own piss once and get the good effects of hydration. Bear did it on TV. ( he drank it out of a snakeskin) Does piss taste good……….HELL NO. Survival can not always be about doing what is comfortable.

I may have been banned from this site………..FINE. I wrote and apoligy to you angryviking man. Take it or leave it.

In the army survival manual(FM21-76 Department of the army field manual) on pages 182-184.

“Do not eat snow in its natural state—it will cause dehydration instead of relieving thirst.”

On any survival show where they talk about surviving in snowy conditions (Survivorman, Man vs. wild) They say to melt the snow first.

You can drink a pint of blood without getting sick, and it has more nutritional value than water. It doesnt provide as much hydration as water, but it sure as hell tastes better than piss. In a cold weather environment, it can warm your core temperature if you drain it from a recently killed game animal like a deer, or other animal.

As far as a shotguns power of penetration is concerned, number 8 shot is sufficient to kill a person within 15 feet, and it will not penetrate a wall unless you hold the muzzle directly against the drywall. I never said use buckshot.
Once again, I’m reporting you to the admins.
