myMy plan and a guide for those interested.

forFor my plan to be used you must be within traveling distance of a marinamarina.

Requirementsreliable transportaion :
several
  • Reliable transportation;
  • Several cases of amunitionammunition for each firearmatfirearm;
  • At lest two tested and reliable firearmsthefirearms;
  • The ususalusual survival equipment hamequipment;
  • Ham radio (so you can network for resousesresources and dating)dating).

theThe quick and dirty explanation is to get to the marina and take a boat to a island you know is capable of sustaining societysociety.

The boatBoat
you
You need to learn to sail

youYou must buy a sail boat or learn to steal one (if you are willing to fix a boat up there are many boats that can be found for free)

youYou must have the boat at a marina. if there is any sort of mass evacuation the roads will be blocked of with stalled cars trying to tow a boat any distance is nearly imposible.impossible.

aA motorized boat will not due fuel goes bad. electricity will probably be out which means all fuel pumps will be out of service. and they have a very limited range.

The island
it should have or had a population of 50 plus (any smaller and you will have trouble scavangingscavenging for the essentials)

must have a history of farming.andfarming and huntableedible wildlife

AprochingApproaching and landing on the islandisland:
you
  • You must circle the island several times to asses if the island is infected.doinfected;
  • Do not dock take a raft to the island ( do not leave it unguarded)theunguarded);
  • The ideal landing spot will have several hundred yards of open area (this allow you to engage any zombies)dozombies);
  • Do not plan on staying on the island your intialinitial landing is to search the island and start the process of killing any zombieszombies.

Note on tactics the
The idea when dealing with zombies is to engage them and fall back engage and fall back (fall back refers to going to a safe place they do not know of, can not get to, or a far enough distance that you have 20 minutes to regroup ) (a zombie within 100 feet of you means have let the zombies get to close and are very close to death if you do not leave the area now)


atAt a minimum you must search the island several times you do not want to stay on the island until you had found no zombies in youyour last three searches.
