About Me: Hey guys, I'm J.D. I'm 23 years old, and I research and try to over-prepare for everything. I lived in Michigan during the NE blackout of 2003 which left us without power and drinkable water for several days. During this time I saw exactly how desperate people can be, and what to expect during a mild emergency situation. We survived by having a propane powered stove, boiling water, eating canned foods, and staying in. During that time the grocery stores went empty, the price of bottled water and gas, rose over $10/gal, and the roads became littered with vehicles that had run out of gas. As such, I don't plan on being able to really travel outside of my city limits easily. And I don't really plan on being able to use stores to buy/loot things. Since the blackout I've learned some valuable lessons. I've learned to always keep an emergency stash of non-perishable foods, a supply of water, and several survival items such as crank flashlights, survival knives, matches/flint. These were some of the things that made it semi-comfortable to survive without the conveniences of the modern world. I believe that having to suffer through this blackout helped to force me into always thinking about emergency survival preparations. This is the Emergency kit I'm in the process of buying for my car. Not all the tools in here a specifically Z-day related, but many of them could be useful at my BOL: http://amzn.com/w/32RERJ9IS554I When I started thinking way too much about zombies: I start to overprepare for the next emergency situation What started my zombie fixation:Probably the Resident Evil franchise, it gave me a new scenario to plan on how to survive. Favorite zombie movie: 28 days later Favorite quote in any zombie movie:"I can't profess to understand God's plan,but when Christ promiseda resurrection of the dead, I just thought he had something a little different in mind." My Survival Plan: I'm a bunker kinda guy, regardless of the emergency my basic plan is the same. I find a location with many exits and few entrances with access to a natural flowing water source that I can fortify against nature and anything else. My “handle” should you look for you on the radio waves or web:Anom My location:Columbia, Missouri Is my plan dependent on zombies in your home town, or anywhere?: Will I be staying in my home or headed somewhere else?: If there truly is a Z-day. I have no desire to get caught up in the chaos of people leaving town. I'll be headed to my BOL and bunkering down. If I'm heading out, how do I plan to get there? : driving/walking Got anyone I want to take with me? : How will I communicate with the outside world, or do I plan to go the hermit route? : I'd like to be able to take my dog with me, but in a true survival situation, he's another mouth to feed. A 2-way radio will be my way to communicate with the outside world. How am I planning to get food and water?: I store food and water now for emergency situations, which should last me until I am able to establish a small garden for food, and a hand-pump pipeline to the closest creek. What’s my weapon of choice? Do you need to reload that thing? Gotta plan for that? : Ideally, I'd want a folding recurve bow, I haven't shot in years, but I was the best shot of anybody in my boy scout troop as a kid. Trajectory just comes natural to me weather it be volleyball, bowling, or competitive shooting. Got a survival philosophy? : Am I willing to hook up with other survivors? : I wouldn't be opposed to hooking up with others, in fact, if I felt them to be responsible level-headed people I would encourage our synergy.
