Okay, an explanation of the above.

It is a collection of the most common threads this site has seen.

Before starting a topic on something as broad as Weapons, Transportations, etc please go through the above.

Welcome to the site all new members.

Before starting a new thread please go through the above. It's monotonous, I know but it will help make things easier for yourself and the rest on the ZPI network.

When starting a new thread ensure that THE TOPIC TITLE IS CLEAR IN IT'S MEANING!!

Things like : OMg what you think of this!!1!... is very vague and fairly redundant and just horrible for archival and information retrieval purposes...

Proper spelling is vastly appreciated. That includes proper punctuation. We're not all English Majors however, and things like lol and pwn and other such L337 speak is tolerable but sentences that hurt the eyes will probably receive a lot of anger from others on the board...

If you would like a better explanation of the rules (There really aren't THAT many) on this site, please feel free to E-Mail me or one of the moderators or administrators. I'll be sure to get back to you ASAP and clear up any questions you might have!!

In closing, welcome to the Zombie Preparedness Initiative!! We hope to hear from you very soon!

A little something that might help and boost my weird little ego.

Art of Not Getting Shot

Another reason why looting is not a good idea.

Grizzly Adams

Something that has to do with wilderness living and mobility.

Bugabago

Work in progress. Deals with transportation.

Preparation So You Don't Have To Get Shot

Work in progress. A little bit of advice for those of you who have a hard time with preparation because of money/parents/etc.

The Big Rant

A really long rant on gun control. What our oh so loved Admin calls internet masturbation.
