The Truth About Zombies

Friends, let me wax poetic for a moment. I hope this post isn't too shocking... but SOMEONE needs to say it.

Some folks think that gearing up, dressed like Robocop, wearing pads and makeshift duct tape armor is going to be the answer, in the logic that they will be protected from bites from reanimated corpses. This sort of nonsensical drivel is for the birds. Zombies aren't real, unless I missed a very important memo. They're simply a metaphor catch-all sort of thing for real disasters like hurricanes, super earthquakes, major blizzards, long-term loss of power, economical or societal collapse, civil unrest or rebellion, or even home invasion or self defense situations. Sure, its fun to think about zombies eating our neighbors, but let's face it, zombies aren't real now, and odds are that they never will be.

That being said, by preparing for zombies (metaphorically-speaking) you will be able to prepare for ANY eventuality, be it good, bad, or worst-case scenario.

I love zombie movies; from the goriest to cheesiest, I enjoy watching zombies on the big and small screens. Nothing excites me more than to see massive hordes chasing the protagonists around an urban environment, seconds from gnawing human flesh. But that's not why I'm here - I'm here to learn about survival skills, and to share my love for zombie movies with fellow zombie movie buffs. Maybe one day, zombies might actually be real, but until then, they're like Terminator, Predator, Godzilla and King Kong, and only real on the big screen.

You make a good point Zombies arent real and a SHTF senerio is much more likely and I think that most people know that.
But in my opionion preparing for zombies are really preparing for the hordes of the unpreprared those who driven near insanity by there prediciment will attack anyone to keep them self alive IE the paniced.

and although most people say they have home made/Millitary grade armour either dont really have it, havent trested its Bite/Bullet resistence and/or know that if this ZDAY really happens their armour will stay under their bed where it belongs with there katanas and nunchuks.

In reallity this whole site is a group of survivers who belive in protecting them self agianst one of the most dangerous things on this planet Man...

Sounds like we're on the same page. I would definitely consider a bunch of unprepared people zombies, driven insane by changes that may, at the time, seem like the end of the world. Sounds adequate to me!

Realistically there are many SHTF sites out there,but there all boring as bat ****. 40 somthing guy talking about bomb shelters and there last hunting/hiking/camping trip.
ZSD is really just a fun way of getting to know some new people and sharing survival tips that isnt too serios
