Zombie Plan

[HBHoss]

Grindhouse Presents: Planet Terror is on right now on Starz. Great Zombie movie.

I dont quite understand everyones need for generating power. Yea, i understand a fridge would be nice, but that **** (food) is going to run out pretty quick, unless you have some serious stockpiles. Unless you have some francy radio transmitter equip, who cares about electricity? It aint like you are going to be watching TV or logging onto HBT when the Zombie Apocolypse hits. Your best bet would to make sure you have a good supply of batteries and a good radio. Hell, one of those crank raidios would be awesome.

for both security defenses and radio communications. you can use a 12volt battry a little while for powering a transmiter but not long so youll need to recharge those batts

 

[DeathBrewer]

We has a crank radio

We has a crank radio

but that only receives. granted a crank would work for transmit of a tunacan and receiver but you get much better range when you can power more then a 1/2watt.

Seriously? You don't want electricity?

Batteries run out. You can't brew with batteries. Batteries can't keep your beer cold. Batteries can't charge your mobile phone. Batteries can't power your stereo, computer, blender, water heater, vacuum cleaner or electric knife. The power tools in your garage would probably be useful as well.

Hmm, what else.... oh, light bulbs. Those things come in handy at night.

 

[thataintchicken]

here is my plan.

Fill my truck with goodies from the restaurant.
Chain Doberman to said goodies.
Pick up my SHF boxes from storage.

( SHF boxes include a PSG-1, 10-22 and some other lovely goodies. )

Roll north to DeathBrewers place and have a Beer.

But fellas like me know how to hot-rod radio stations and TV station transmission gear.
Any transmitter site is fair game with a set of bolt cutters.

Find me a generator, and we can be on the air anywhere.
Find me a running News Live truck, and I'll let you touch my zombie love ****.

:rockin:

With a large fridge and 2 chest freezers to keep that food in good shape a generator is a must. Cold beer in the fridge and I have cattle to put in the freezer. I've been in Iraq for 2 years now and am pretty tired of jerky.

Cheeto can have his stockpile of MRE's. I'm havin steaks and grilled ears of corn for dinner.

Unless you have some fancy radio transmitter equip, who cares about electricity? It ain't like you are going to be watching TV or logging onto HBT when the Zombie Apocalypse hits. Your best bet would to make sure you have a good supply of batteries and a good radio. Hell, one of those crank radios would be awesome.

The Internet will prevail !


I was talking kegerators, fermentation chillers stir plates just lil things like that YEAH you could wire up those things to be solar, but that could waste several good brewing weekends.

I feel that the stock pile of brew for the waves of zombies is going to be of more use than the brewing equipment, while they are trying to eat you.
Moreover the brew is another source of food!
100-500+ calories per pint of brew you could live for a good long time on nothing but beer. (look at the guys that live under the freeway on-ramps)
No I am not too cool giving my kids a pint of 10% barleywine but, I will give them a couple small glasses of a low ABV 3-5% cider and some beef jerky or even twinkees as a meal if need be.

And after the first two or 3 waves of zombies those of us that have survived should be able to begin a semi-normal life again. Brewing again, Hunting Fishing

As long as they are not the Rage zombies (28 days) and more of the classic zombies (Shaun of the dead). Good point on the animal infecting version of Zombieitis(medical term) if that happens we are looking at several years of hiding out inside until everything dies off !



I feel my plan will hold my family and I out for at least 9 months to a year.
Than let the re-population of the earth start :rockin:

But, what type of government are we going to use when we restart?
We should get a skill set of people put together so we have what is needed to restart the infrastructure of a city/state when we have reclaimed the earth

The power tools I can understand. You are going to need those to boards up your windows and barricade your doors. Also a good stockpile of lumbar would be ideal.

 

[friarjohn]

When the Zombies hit do animals also turn? Kinda might rule out living off the land.

that is still a topic of debate

I think it all comes down to the strain of Zomieitis that hits your area.

so far we have isolated a few different qualities of various strains of Zombieitis




Movie examples!

Classic Zombie Shaun of the dead, Evil Dead,
Rage Zombies 28days & 28 weeks
Slave Zombie Revolt of the Zombies (1936).
Ghoul Zombie Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959)


Animal Zombies Resident Evil

its the evil umbrella corp i tell ya. they are the ill-um-naughty

 

[Mutilated1]

all the time with killing the zombies with you people

when hell overflows and the dead walk the earth, the only sensible thing to do is grab the nearest zombie crack open its skull and feast your way into undeath

you can't kill zombies by destroying their brains anyway, that doesn't make sense - if that worked how come after a zombie attacks you and eats your brain you turn into a zombie ?

its not the brain as a whole. just the base of the brain. they normally only eat the fatty part of the brain and never get into the stem. you take the stem out and they loose all motor function.

Dude, If you start a radio station, I'll come up with my records and turntable and be your DJ.

 

[DeathBrewer]

As for electricity...not really a big deal. The few times we do need electricity, one of the vehicles can be run with an inverter. Or we could use a bicycle to generate a small amount of power.

We have plenty of lose boards around for shutting up windows and securing doors. My room would have to be abandoned, tho It's all windows on the front and faces the street.

I live 2 minutes from the KGO transmitter.
KGO is a 50K Blowtorch that rules the west coast after dark.

and it has solar charging capabilities.
Muhahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I'm cool with that.
BETTER BRING SOME METAL.

 

[arturo7]

Man, sorry, no metal. All classical, jazz, latin, and some reggae. Maybe someone else will volunteer for the midnight shift?

 

[travestyofnature]

I have plenty metal, rock and some electronica, see ya at the post opocaliptic party. :rockin:

wrong

because zombies are the unresting spirits of the tormented dead, they aren't biological at all

besides even a zombie where all the flesh has completely rotted away will still try to rape, kill, and maim to satisfy their rageful bloodlust

a skeleton is just a zombie thats more decomposed, and it doesn't have a nervous system at all

 

[Aleforge]

What about the fast zombies, aren't they new or are they fake and only in video games?

this is funny
but one thing bad about this movie is if you have anyone bitten dont wait for them to turn like he said, you should just kill them right away, why risk them bitting you when they are already finished!! and from what i gather from watching all zombie movies is that now adays they arent your typical zombies they can actually think unlike the zombies in the old movies like night of the living dead, now they make them fast and smart, such as 28 days later,the crappy yet funny zombie strippers,and i am legend etc.... so you should think about that in your plan for survival that they are alot craftier these days those tricky zombies!!!!

 

[DeathBrewer]

*ahem*

"28 Days Later" and "I am Legend" do not have any zombies in them.

[HBHoss]

Those people aren't dead, so no...they are not zombies.

 

[HBHoss]

Those people aren't dead, so no...they are not zombies.

So would they be living zombies and/or mutants?

 

[lacykay]

Those people aren't dead, so no...they are not zombies.

they look and act like zombies and are called zombies in the imdb reviews!! either way I wouldnt want to mess with them
