About me: I'm 37 years old, 5'9", medium build, born in New Jersey but moved to Iowa with parents when I was 17.
I now live in Carmi Ill. U.S.A., a quarter mile from the Wabash River and can't get enough fishing, swimming, and boating.
I served 6 years in the National Guard (no deployments), and have a Masters in Aqua Pollution Chemistry. I now work for the E.P.A. testing water and ground samples I gather on the Wabash and at various industrial sites, especially at and in the coal mines. YES, I go down the shafts and through out the mines to gather samples, once a month at each mine location and I like it down there, I didn't think I would but I do.
I am married for the last 15 years, so I have to plan for my wife Brenda 33, son Ron 15, and daughter Heather 9.
Not a big gun guy, but I do own some, and have been trained and have used an M4 even though I don't have an AR yet (trying to talk the wife in to it). Ill. laws suck ass, you have to go through the state to get a FOID card to prove your eligible to buy guns and ammunition in Ill. This has to be reapplied for every 10 years and there is a three day waiting period for any guns pistols, rifles, muzzle loaders etc., one must also have their FOID registration card to buy ammo. and only up to 100 rounds at a time, ******* CHICAGO!!!
About Me:
When I started thinking way too much about zombies:
I always liked watching zombie movies. Favorite zombie movie:
Zombie Land. Favorite quote in any zombie movie: Thank God for Rednecks! My Survival Plan:
My “handle” should you look for you on the radio waves or web: Water Boy
or Dave. My location: Carmi IllinoisIs my plan dependent on zombies in your home town, or anywhere?:
Anywhere, as long as it's a credible threat.Will I be staying in my home or headed somewhere else?:
Staying home as long as we can, bugging out to my fathers in Iowa if needed.If I'm heading out, how do I plan to get there? :
Ford F 150 4X4, Jeep Liberty, KIA Sorento, bikes, or on foot. Got anyone I want to take with me? My wife 35, son 16, and daughter 13. How will I communicate with the outside world, or do I plan to go the hermit route? :
Cell Phones, Hand Held Radio, and C.B. in my Jeep Liberty. How am I planning to get food and water?:
We keep a coupe of weeks of food and water on hand plus what we usually use, totaling about a month of food and water. I hunt a lot, especially deer, rabbit, squirrel, quail, and etc.. I fish a lot also, with the Wabash River just a quarter mile down the road loaded with fish and fresh water. What’s my weapon of choice? Do you need to reload that thing? Gotta plan for that? :
Mine: Mossberge 12 gauge, 5 round (reduced to 3 with 2 wood inserts & Glock 21.Wife: Marlin .22 s.a. tube fed & Jennings 9mm Son: Mossberge 12 gauge (same as mine, but my old one) & High Point 9mBm.Daughter: High Point 9mm carbine & Browning .25 auto. 2 Cold Steel Kurki, two cheap swords, four hunting knifes, tools, and a couple of axes. Got a survival philosophy? :
Survive, until we can rebuild or make it better.Am I willing to hook up with other survivors? :
Yes, as long as they seem trustworthy and intelligent. Is my plan based on a book/movie/blog/scientist other survivors may have heard of?:
Just off of the top of my head. BOB's are made for EMERGENCIES ~ especially since we live in tornado alley. | Family's Bug Out Bags: |
