About Me:
When I started thinking way too much about zombies: in college with my friends
What started my zombie fixation: watching night of the living dead when I was a kid
Favorite zombie book: world war z
Favorite zombie movie: dawn of the dead (both)
Favorite quote in any zombie movie:

My Survival Plan:
My “handle” should you look for you on the radio waves or web:
My location: massachusetts or the high seas
Is my plan dependent on zombies in your home town, or anywhere?
Ive several plans depending on severity of out break and my location
Will I be staying in my home or headed somewhere else?
see above
If I'm heading out, how do I plan to get there?
read attached plans
Got anyone I want to take with me?
read attached plans
How will I communicate with the outside world, or do I plan to go the hermit route?
read attached plans
How am I planning to get food and water? read attached plans

What’s my weapon of choice? Do you need to reload that thing? Gotta plan for that? FN PS-90 its a gun it needs to be reloaded, from my ammo supplies
plus my cold steel war hammer and 9" buckler shield

Got a survival philosophy?
over a long enough time line everyone survival rate drops to zero, survival is about forstalling that truth for as long as possible at the level of comfort you are willing to deal with.
Am I willing to hook up with other survivors?
certainly provided they aren't going to get me and mine killed
Is my plan based on a book/movie/blog/scientist other survivors may have heard of? the survival guide, and bits and pieces from here and there.

Survival plan A: while at work. WARNING I WOULD ONLY TRY THIS IF I WAS CAUGHT ALREADY AT WORK.
As I work for a prestigeous cruise ship company as a marine officer if an outbreak began while I was on board ship would depend on the outbreak and wether or not if we had any infected on board. An intial infection on board ship would be immediately noticeable as in just about any guest or crew bitten in port would be complaining about it to guest relations or the medical facility in very short order and as there health declined it would reported as the limited capabilities of the medical facility calls for the severly injured or ill to be medivac’d to a shoreside hospital. Even if a bite wasn’t reported and the guest or crew member was able to lapse into coma the stateroom attendant, or supervisor would take note of the situation. If in the off chance that someone actually turned before they could be air lifted and was able to infect others while being subdued. Or on the off chance they where able to kill and reanimate some people. I would recognize the situation for what it was and use the the fire screne and water tight doors so section off the ship and speak with rest of the officer staff including the captain and chief engineer. That given the unknown nature of the situation that the area containing the infected people should be locked down and a thorough examination of the rest of the crew and passengers should be conducted. Depending on the situation on shore I would advise that any found to be injured to should be quarantined individually for a period of at least two days or until we received assistance from a shore. If it became apparent that it was wide spread ashore and confirmed that it was zeds then I would arm teams of crew with fire axes and have the machine shop work up some boar spears and then open up the contained area in way that only one zed at a time could exit and pin them with the spears and depatch them with the axes. Rationing would go into effect and “I would suggest that we ancor on an off shore bank outside the sight of land until a clearer picture became apparent. Meanwhile I would actually let any decenters from the passengers leave with there personal effects and the contents of the life boat equal to number of people leaving. I would continue to have the machine shop work up spears and flanged maces and train as many of the passengers and crew to fight in teams with the spear men pinning and the mace men dispatching rotating the positions and having teams relieve each other to rest. I would spread the tactic to other vessels and groups with communication ability. I would then look for a coastal safe hold that could use our as assistance locally and ancor nearby and use the man power of the ship to to aid them and the ship as fall back possition. If none existed locally. I would attempt to establish one at a container port as it would be easy to build a defensive perimeter. If at all possibly I would attempt to get assistance from a carrier group for this action use there jets to strike an area near to but removed from the container port to draw off the zeds all the noise and fire would more than likely attract them and send them away from the area of operation. After establishing a free hold I would maintain it and work for a unified strategy to be developed to combat the zeds. Or work on a long term solution in world with little no organization.

additional plans will be posted as I write them.

RonZombie concentric and compartmentalized defenses 0 Dec 1 2008, 12:04 AM EST by RonZombie
Thread started: Dec 1 2008, 12:04 AM EST  Watch
The best defenses against individuals fighting hand to hand (like a zombie) where developed during the middle ages, castles. The pinnacle of castle design was the concentric castle where in concentric ring walls allow ed for the defenders to fall back into the next layer of defense setting the attacker back to square one. Additionally a horde of undead has similar characteristic to water upon finding a breach they will flow through it and into any open adjoining spaces. Ships have developed a system of vertical bulkheads and water tight doors and flooding alarms to help prevent sinking in case of hull damage. By incorporating these philosophies into your strong hold you will increase its survivability and decrease the chance having to abandon your home in the case of a breach. The keys this system are:
a strong exterior curtain wall and at least one additonal strong curtain wall
reinforce interior doors or gates which can be secured remotely from several locations
a redundant servalence system to warn of a breach
decentralized and defuse location for essential supplies and equipment (if you put all your eggs in one basket you may loose the basket to the zeds)
Do you find this valuable?
