Name: Thalia Qualifications: Bachelor of Applied Science (Microbiology), Honours First Class (Microbiology) Location: Queensland, Australia Introduced to Zombie survival concept: 20 June 2009 after borrowing boyfriend's copy of ZSG (Brooks) - yes I know it's humour, that didn't stop it from getting me thinking about Z-day and how to prepare. Already had plans/equipment on hand for biological event (Normal paranoia for a Microbiologist) now just have to coordinate weapons for defence. Previous Training/Skills: No formal training, however basics taught by my Ex-Military, Ex-Police Mum ("Kids, Merry Christmas! Oh? What did Santa get you? *mock surprise* Survival kits? Isn't Santa clever! Please don't take your knives to school" or "Anyone want to help me suture my leg?/Splint your brother's arm" or "hey kids, let's play a game, you have an hour to plan the fortification of the house. Write me a list of anything we don't have that you think we need" - and she goes and buys it) Brought up in a rural environment where logistics are important (the need to stockpile non-perishable foods, know exactly how much water is available and have a medical chest becomes ingrained). Hiking, camping, basic self defence skills. Much practice in mock drills on how to fortify a house/survive a biological event/natural disaster - emphasis placed on defending supplies from looting parties/other survivors because my folks don't believe in zombies - they do believe in looters and thieves. Historical Recreationist (comfortable in my armour, familiar with my swords - though I don't think they'd be the most useful weapon against zombies, most of our training is to cause incapacitating wounds - things that will cause them pain/blood loss, which won't impact a zombie) Can also sew, cook and keep house (lol - couldn't help it) The Plan: 1. Survive initial attack - Leave early if this luxury presents itself - Fortify and defend 2. Get to folks place - Rural location - Easily defensible - Potential for self sufficiency - Non-communal source of water - Equipment/resources required for fortification already on site (there's nothing quite like the realisation that your Mum keeps stuff on hand to fortify the house if the need arises!) - Minimal livestock but two sheepherding dogs - would also aim to liberate some ankle high yippy dogs from the local shelter to serve as alarms (require less food and (call me cruel) they are more expendable - anyone with half a brain is going to realise that a dog will serve as a good alarm/first line of defence). 3. Deal with the Zeds from there Thing I'll miss most after Z-Day:My XKCD fix. Favourite USEFUL Book:the Therapeutic Guidelines series, in particular TG Antibiotic - lists infection types and which antimicrobial therapies to use.
