How Long...


krupt Posted: Wed, 08/13/2008 - 20:22

just out of curiosity...

let's say the zombie apocalypse happened right now, and [God forbid] the infection spread so quickly there hasn't even been any media coverage. you simply wake up and you have to survive. could you survive in your home? would you take the risk and try to get too a much safer place? are you prepared this instant? how long do you think you would survive?

can't wait to see your responses.

enjoy.

I live in a one story ranch house in Los Angeles, no basement. I can count my life span in hours if I was to stay home. I have an ishty attic, that I would cook to death in during about 9 months of the year.

So, lacking any news information, I'd be headed out by road (if clear, which would be unlikely) or on some bike trails up the L.A. river, that I've been recently exploring.

It's a bit of a Catch-22 heading for the mountains because, if somebody tries to defend against a zombie horde using fire (which so Many people seem eager to do!) the hills will be ablaze, along with parts of the city.

Good times. Good times. Remember us in L.A. when the war's over. We made a few good movies.

I messed with Texas.

I'd be dead, no question to it. I'd either be a zed or be eaten by them. But if, big IF, I'm not dead, I'd try to get to a safer location.

a plan is great, but no matter how great your plan is, you have to know when to execute it. all plans require some foresight.

i think i could hold out in my own house for maybe a week. food wouldnt be the problem, it would obviously be safety. i would have to get out of here, and fast.

A mans home is his fortress. The absolutely only possible way in or out is covered by two hardwood door one behind the other. i have enough conserved food here for me to life on for a month without rationing. I also have 25 liters of apple juice preserved and water is supplied by a tower and it could last me for an estimate minimum of 3 days.
So i can easily survive for a while. A tub full of water in my case is 50 liters added the juice its 75 liters. Divided by two is little over 30 days which will last me that month of food. So for the first 3 weeks i would do absolutely nothing but observe zombie activity to determine the best course of action.

Cause wearing a tux during Z-Day will make me look good and die trying.

Winning isn't a reason to get a reward but one less poke in the eye, while losing gets you two.

I could survive here for two to three months before needing food. The true issue is the house's structural integrity. I am sure it could take some beating, but eventually the walls will give in. BUT - Thank God I have an old fashioned red-brick barn. XD

Nobody is truly prepared. Some are just more stocked and trained in the use of their equipment than others.

I would be bugging out. My apartment complex is fine for a few days, but I just don't trust it. My wife and I have our plan laid out. Primary goal is 3 hours hard driving north. However, if that fails, we have backup locations along the way.

Im screwd for right now ether I would be recalled to the states to help contain the "widespread unrest" or I would be in the thick of it. I would also more then likely be on the front lines of the conflict as even tho my job is explosives my secondary job is infantry and with my low rank that makes me cannon fodder.

Will you hold me back? If need be I will leave you behind...

Sure you'd be cannon fodder? I think you'd be more along the lines of zeddy chow, you know, like puppy chow, if those puppys are undead humanoids.
