About Me: When I started thinking way too much about zombies: -Can't even remember when it even started, I asked my wife and she couldn't remember either. I think I always kinda had a fascination with it since I was little. I remember the first horror movie I ever saw was Night of the Living Dead and I couldn't have been older than 10. It kinda scarred me, I remember having nightmares and trouble sleeping for years about the inability to escape an approaching horde of evil <insert some being here>. I grew out of that but later maybe 10 years ago when the resurgence of zombie video games, movies, literature started I was always into the theorizing and play planning. What started my zombie fixation: -Seriously, it was just a frustration with the unrealistic and flat out stupid actions of characters in zombie movies. Favorite zombie book: -Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, not for realism but just for quirks... unless you count The Walking Dead which is very good too. Favorite zombie movie: -Dawn of the Dead, orig and remake. Just flat out classic stuff, nuff said. Favorite quote in any zombie movie: -Some kind of instinct. Memory, of what they used to do. This was an important place in their lives - Stephen, DOTD '78 My Survival Plan: My “handle” should you look for you on the radio waves or web: FoShogunMy location: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada Is my plan dependent on zombies in your home town, or anywhere? My plan depends on nothing, a good z-plan shouldn't. Will I be staying in my home or headed somewhere else? -Buggin Out, with 250,000 pop in my city I figure it would eventually be too dangerous to stay regardless of the origin of first breakout. If I'm heading out, how do I plan to get there? -Initially by vehicle, I have a little Toyota Yaris, and my brother (who would come with me if I could meet him) has a Honda CRV. That would have to do, unless I could steal/borrow a more heavy duty truck. But priority is bugging fast and any vehicle can cut that. Got anyone I want to take with me? -my wife Amanda and my dog Dutch, and my brother Greg. Otherwise I would warn friends/family in the city if I could but I wouldn't be going out of the way to meetup with them. How will I communicate with the outside world, or do I plan to go the hermit route? -I haven't thought this one through completely yet, I assume that wherever I go will be approximately 1 hours drive or half a days ride to a small community with a hardware store. I hope to find some things there on the way through or be able to go back at some point. The other possibility is stripping a CB out of Semi truck. How am I planning to get food and water? -Initially I hope to be a fast enough actor to buy and or steal a really solid amount of stuff. If not I would A. Go to the family farm that is a relatively remote part of Northern Canada B. Scavenge a nearby town or city C. Hunt and Fish What’s my weapon of choice? Do you need to reload that thing? Gotta plan for that? -If I can get my hands on a Hunting rifle then so be it. But reality is that weapons are not really that important in my zombie plan. The whole reason zombies are horrible, terrifying creatures is that they are a relentless horde that cannot be stopped by mere weaponry. If nearly surrounded, my chances lie almost solely in attempting to escape rather then fending them off. Also, the possibility that gunfire will cause more irritation to the situation then good is a very real problem. Not only could it draw more Zeds, but it could draw more Humans, an almost bigger problem. Got a survival philosophy? -Several philosophies... 1. Never assume anything about your enemy, always observe and learn at a safe distance. 2. Be as flexible as you can with your plans without losing the ability to make decisive actions. 3. Triple Check everything, be it the lock on a door, the deadness of a Zed, the ammo in your clip 4. Humans are the most dangerous beings in the post Z apocalypse. Am I willing to hook up with other survivors? -I guess I might be, depending on a huge mixture of variables. Feel free to contact me for such requests but don't expect me to be able to harbour, hide or help you unless the situation feels completely and utterly right to me. Is my plan based on a book/movie/blog/scientist other survivors may have heard of?
