, About Me: When I started thinking way too much about zombies: You can't think too much about zombies! What started my zombie fixation: Becoming part of the metagame community of Urban Dead. Favorite zombie book: The Walking Dead. Favorite zombie movie: Shaun of the Dead. Favorite quote in any zombie movie: "The only person who could ever miss with this gun would be the sucker with the bread to buy it." - Peter, Dawn of the Dead (1978) "I'm quite all right Barbara, I ran it under a cold tap. We had our jabs when we went to the Isle of Wight. It's a lot of overblown nonsense, a lot of drug nuts running wild." - Phillip, Shaun of the Dead (2004) My Survival Plan: My “handle” should you look for you on the radio waves or web: SweenyMy location: London Is my plan dependent on zombies in your home town, or anywhere? No, but I've planned as if they will be. Hope for the best plan for the worst. Will I be staying in my home or headed somewhere else? It may not be practical to attempt to leave a major city at the start of a mass panic but if possible head out to the countryside. If I'm heading out, how do I plan to get there? A well maintained, fully stocked van would be 1st choice, a bicycle with panniers would be the minimum I would like to leave with. On foot is always an option. Got anyone I want to take with me? I've planned as if I will have to manage alone but having reliable friends with would be preferable. How will I communicate with the outside world, or do I plan to go the hermit route? Assuming phones (land line and mobile) are gone then a hand crank emergency 2-way radio. How am I planning to get food and water? Start from a stockpile at home, scavenge as possible supplemented at first and then superseded by hunting/foraging. What’s my weapon of choice? Do you need to reload that thing? Gotta plan for that? Whilst it it is possible to aquire firearms in the UK I can't rely on getting one. A hunting rifle and 2 shotguns (1 full length 1 sawn down) would be my preference. In addition; a Brooklyn Smasher unbreakable bat, an expandable baton, a hatchet, a knife. Got a survival philosophy? K.I.S.S & remember the rule of 3. (Survival = 3 weeks without food, 3 days without water, 3 hours without shelter. Equipment = 3 is 2, 2 is 1 and 1 is none.) Am I willing to hook up with other survivors? Yes - based on gut instinct and compassion taking into account increased consumption of resources versus benefits of additional skill sets etc being brought to the group. Is my plan based on a book/movie/blog/scientist other survivors may have heard of? It's a combination of everything I've seen or read on the subject of survival including fictional, amateur and professional sources as well as my own experiences and instincts.
