My Survival Plan:


My “handle” should you look for me on the radio waves: Slowride / Riptide
My location: Marysville Washington
Will I be staying in my home or headed somewhere else? No, headed elsewhere, when I bug out initially, the rig will be stockpiled already, wife, kids and dogs into the vehicle...first stop is the local gun store right down the street from my house...stop with the yammering right there and the nay saying and listen up...this is a small gun store, old building and while the windows and doors are state of the art the roof is a standard wood shingle roof and inside the store, the ceiling is suspended, all you need is an electric sawsall with a full battery...night time insurgence would be ideal, but I will storm this place in the middle of the day if it goes down like that, day time through the front door shooting if I have too, or nighttime through the roof, going through the roof is ideal as well because the building is already fortified, I will gather as much ammunition as I can, (.410, 12 ga, .38, .357, 9mm, .40 .45 Long Colt, .45ACP, .44 Mag, NATO 5.56x45 (Rem .223) ,NATO 7.62x51
(Win.308) and 7.62x39, .300 Win, .338 Lapua Magnum) as well as, gun cleaning supplies, a range finder, spotting scope, a monocular and binoculars...most importantly a re-loader, spare brass, primers, powder, loads, shot shells, primers, slugs, shot, wadding...and anything else that isn't nailed down...I know what your thinking...everyone's gonna have the same idea, what about the owner, what about all those other people...on Z day they're no longer people, they become obstacles, they become a direct threat to my ability to survive and keep those close to me alive, direct threats are put down.


If I'm heading out, how do I plan to get there? When the proverbial Sh!t hit's the fan the 08' Charger R/T will do the trick initially, I would then say after reaching my B.O.L that getting my hands on an armored vehicle or armoring a vehicle for supply gathering is an absolute top priority.

Got anyone I want to take with me? Wife, my 2 daughters, my son and my dogs (2 150 lb Cane Corso's Achilles and Bakari, my pure white Siberian Husky Ghost and Loki (the vicious Boston Terrier) A few relatives and close friends if they are alive and time is available to get word to them and have them rendezvous

How will I communicate with the outside world, or do I plan to go the hermit route?
2 way l.o.s. radios long term, cell phones and possibly s.a.t. phones short term as they won't last, neither will the net

How am I planning to get food and water?
Hunt, forage wild edibles, scavenge, raise chickens, goats, rabbits and garden, I Have purchased 12 cases of MRE 312's (144 meals, that's 36 meals for the 5 main people in my group...my wife 2 daughters, my son and myself...others if they show will have to supply there own food) these are meals for short term survival 12 to 36 days and so I have started stockpiling Ark and Super Ark survival kits for the long haul, these meals are initial and long term solutions for when hunting and foraging and scavenging are lean (details about the Ark kits located in my B.O.B. section) re-supply is big on my agenda so depending on the initial spread of the outbreak we will go out as often as possible to obtain additional supplies, vehicles, fuel...etc...etc...

What’s my weapon of choice? Do you need to reload that thing? Gotta plan for that?
FN SCAR 16 NATO 5.56x45, Mossberg 590 Blackwater Special Purpose 12 ga 9 round pump shotgun and my Sig Sauer P226 Navy 9mm all 3 will drop Z's and raiders alike with zero hitches...and they also happen to be chambered in 3 of the most widely used caliber's out there, I will stock pile as many rounds and shells as possibly for my current weapons and future weapons as they are purchased, I would like to get my hands on a re-loader and shaker as well as spare brass, shells, primers, slugs, shot, wad and powder a.s.a.p. and start to load my own...also good to have post z-day

Got a survival philosophy? ...where Stale Skins are concerned, stay on the move, if it's a 100 yards away do not engage, stay unseen, keep quiet, keep them scattered, kill the strays... where Raiders are concerned...this is a kill or be killed Z-poch world, if you and yours want what me and mine have...you had better be prepared to die for it, if your intentions are not clear, then superior firepower is the answer, I will drop you like a bad habit..I will not hesitate to shoot first and wonder later...I will do whatever it takes to protect those who are with me...trust me, your life will never be more important than my own, my loved ones, not even my dogs, they show more loyalty than most humans.


Am I willing to hook up with other survivors?
Possibly

Short Range CQC Fire Arms:


***Not all Items below are part of my B.O.B.***

These firearm's are all civilian friendly, meaning if you are the proper age and have the money you can own these firearm's. I will not go into great detail about the "why's" and "what not's" as to how come I have chosen these firearm's, I am an avid shooter and have handled all of these weapons specifically and cannot be swayed one way or the other about their performance, if you have not handled them and fired them yourself do not pretend to know what you're talking about, I have chosen them for knock down power, the ease of acquiring or reloading ammunition, ease of field strip, cleaning and repair, no glock's here, IMO they are crap, they cannot be safetied while cocked and locked and if your walking around without one in the chamber....well your a dumbass...also anyone of these firearm's will do nicely when it comes time to eat a bullet yourself unless of course you don't have the sack and you become one of them...in that case, I promise to make it
quick and painless for you...to a degree...

Listed below is my long range sniper rifle, if you happen to be one of those people who don't believe a long range weapon is necessary, please read no further, your an idiot and do not deserve the benefit of my wisdom because while this weapon may be overkill and unnecessary for zombies, it will work quite well against humans/raiders and general a$$holes who either want what you have or have what you need...you will also note...no .50 caliber here, not practical...
