I'm the one smiling at the camera. Yes, I Suck at Texas Hold 'em!!! But I kill Zeds good!

A little about me. I'm 33, I live in Texarkana, AR. Single, straight, no kids. An outdoors/camping/hunting enthusiast. Like gun shooting, archery, going to the gym, UFC/MMA.
Love movies, comics, video games. Am a trivia sponge; it's insane the amount of useless ***** I can quote. Nobody will play me in "Scene it?" anymore ;)
Am an EMT-Basic with LifeNet EMS, have completed my Fire Fighter 1&2 qualifications. Am already a member of the local volunteer fire dept. I feel really positive about this choice for my future. Everything I've learned so far has made me want to do this more and more.
And I ain't afraid of no zombie!!




My Survival Plan

(* indicates pictures I don't have yet, but plan to getting around to taking and adding soon.)

Provided I was at or near my house, I'd want to get the heck out of dodge and head for the hills, literally. I live on the outskirts of Texarkana. The further out you go, you start to get into hilly country; the last tiny tail end of the Ozark mountains. My family and I have about 1,000 acres of a private deer lease* in that area, with a nice creek that running through it. So we have water. Plus, I have an uncle whose property abuts the lease and he has several deep wells since he and his family live out past the area where the city pipes in water. WAY out past.
Game is rather plentiful out there, and we have all our area fenced off with barbed wire (we'll get back to this later). Still we'll need to consider farming and gardening. Also not a problem, we have at least 2* tractors between his family and mine, plus other family members who will want to get in on this, bringing together community, resources, firearms, and safety.
Vehicles in general shouldn't be much of an issue. Between trucks, tractors, atvs, and horses* I'd say we're pretty well covered. Plus, I have a mountain bike* if things really get tight.
Fortunately, the houses in the area are all pretty much built on top of hills, so visibility is good and radio reception is awesome. Plus, the lookout "fire tower"* is part of the property. It's about 300-400 feet tall (I'm a bad guesser).
There would have to be some changes to the overall layout. Like how to make sure nothing sneaks in past the fences. Probably have to re-fence the property (which will be a chore, 1,000 acres is a lot of area. Ideally, I'd like to spiderweb the entire perimeter with razorwire at least 7 feet high). Most likely traps will be the order of the day. Pits and such that would need to be checked daily. Also early warning devices like signal flares, or 12 ga. blanks, wired to tripwires strung about the property.*

Things to bring:

My various fire arms and ammo.



Others
Got to assume that bullets will get tight or scarce, so non firearms would be:*
bow
crossbow
tons of arrows and bolts
bats
machetes
swords
knives
various sundry medieval weapons
crowbars
chainsaws

Other items I'd bring
all medical supplies I could grab
bottled water
canned goods
my cases of MREs
clothes
radios
flashlights
batteries
etc

(yes, I really do have all this stuff around the house right now)

The plan's going to take a little work, but overall it's a good start.
