Slogan: survive...
Friends: 17
Compliments: None

About Me:

To start with, my name is James although i prefer the welsh equivalent: Iago I was born on the 22nd of september 1995
in blighty. In the past year i have been improving my fitness and still work on it constantly (just not to the extent of an
air-head body builder) I partake in Running, Cycling, Parkour, and on occasion Swimming or Hiking. I am a pescetarian
(For those of you unsure as to what this is, I eat no meat although i do eat fish) for haters, it is a fact that in western
cultures people get too much protein in their diets. I would like it known however that in a survival situation i will eat
meat. I can perform mechanical tasks, I can more or less assemble/repair bikes and am constantly striving to
increase my knowledge in these areas I consider myself to be a sociable and friendly person and will have no problem
with you unless i have a reason to. If any on you have ANY questions you wish to ask me, please feel free.

My Survival Plan:

My plan: Unfortunately, my plan realistically is mainly improv as nothing is certain. however my basic outline is as
follows. Depending on where i am at the time of the outbreak there are different plans, i will update these as frequently
as i can and account for new items/ideas/people. I understand that due to the uncertainty of the
disaster/outbreak/apocalypse i may have to scrap my plan and improvise.

Primary Location My first priority is to secure the residence, pack up and assuming the scale of the outbreak and/or
panic allows me to travel to a predetermined location (preferably by bike) that i will not share right at present if not wait
out the commotion untill safe. On the way to my location i would like to stop off at my school (regardless of the
animosity the ZSDW has towards schools) for a few supplies (i will of course scout out the building first and attempt
to do this in the safest way possible) i still need to plan my exact route although my stepfather drives lorries for a living
and will be helpful for this if for reasons unforseen i cannot leave my city/area post zpoc i have spent many a long
afternoon scouting out my area using both common and lesser known routes and have found a few decent locations
and some that are 'acceptable with some light modifications' For food, my party and I will initially have light perishables
and tinned foods but whilst exploring locations I have made sure that they are either suitable for farming or near
somewhere farming is suitable untill such a point farming is possible or whilst it is being prepared scavenging will have
to be our main food source which will be complimented with any natural food sources we can find.

Secondary location (I have a less than 6% chance of being there when zpoc strikes although it is not a bad area for
my needs) then ideally i would like to bug in as it is out in the countryside, above 10 minutes (driving) from the nearest
village, surrounded by farm/woodland, a five minute walk from a fully functioning windmill, a sturdy as poo old fashioned
house with pheasants, pidgeons, cows, chickens etc. either on the plot of land or around it the only problems
(to my knowledge) are that alot of people may flee to the countryside and the few weak perimeter spots that can be
easily built upon/barricaded with any of the scrap metal/trees/peices of wood/tractor tyres etc. lying around the garden.
if not then we shall bug out. the majority of my plan does require a zombie outbreak to be put into action
(for legal reasons) but at present i am carrying out as much as i can within the law and with my teenager budget.

Long term living If the situation allows, I will hopefully settle down and build a house or small settlement depending
on the size of my party. I have an initial design that I will refine/improve based on a picture uploaded by white76knight
of an old style springhouse.
The original picture: Coming Soon
My designs: Coming Soon

Travel Method: I intend to get around via cycling, walking, swimming, climbing etc. I have not taken driving lessons,
also from years of watching people drive and asking questions I could figure out how to pretty fast. I do however know
how to operate powerboats as I took a small course and Zombiekillerman a member of my party knows how to fly
small air craft.

Current gear for zpoc: (coming soon)

Weapons: pictures soon.

melee:
  • ball peen hammer (low-budget as I say)
  • shovel
  • steel pipe x2 (about a meter long and very lightweight)
  • improvised club (total length about a hand and a half)
  • A pick mattock (half pick, half adze this is a large tool and not ideal for combat with many but will easily take
  • on a single oponent although I would like to add that I will not carry this unless I can unrestricted or I have nothing
  • else)
I will soon be buying this, mainly for forestry and gardening although like most tools, it serves multiple purposes:
I also need to get a sturdy, reliable hatchet :)

ranged:
-rocks
It is my intention to get a crossbow when I am 18 as they are legal in the UK without a permit or license.
I must however join some manner of archery club so I can get some practice or find a nice quiet area in the forest :)

zombieland name: James

survival philosophy: follow your instinct.

My party as of now includes:
  • Zombiekillerman (site username)
  • My family:
-Brothers, one 18 the other in his twenties both in great physical condition. -Dad physical condition improving and enough pent-up anger over the divorce to mow down a couple hundred zeds ;) -Mum and step-dad both strong, stubborn and protective -Little sister, a small hunchback that is sorting itself out and who is almost as strong as me. -Older sister, her boyfriend and his family.
  • A few friends who are smart, strong and not dissimilar to myself (unfortunately I will have to accept the fact that
some or most of these people and myself may be killed and try to dwell on the present untill it is safe to mourn)

this was a question i just saw at the end of diary of the dead and it got me thinking.

is everyone worh saving

for example
your driving along and you see an overweight/disabled/young person being chased/attacked by zombies you have one gun and plenty of ammo and are withing your power to save them but have no room in your vehicle for them so even if you save them they'd have to stay behind.
would you help them anyway?

Hey welcome to the site! I have a few pointers for your survival plan.

1. School is a bad location for survival.

2. Your plan should not be dependent on zombies being in your area. You should prepare before, and prepare for other emergencies (hurricanes, floods, tornados, WROL, etc.)

3. What do you mean by neutral "accompliss" (it's spelled accomplice)?

4. When the SHTF phones, computers, and facsimilies probably won't work.

Now that you have some pointers on where your plan needs improvement, you should read a few things.
