Once things do start to happen, I will be going to whichever location is closest. After I arrive, I/we will be hunkering down and pretty much waiting for things to die down some.If people are just infected as opposed to risen dead, I should be able to wait for them to starve or at least hopefully go to another area. Its ridiculous to think that you can go guns-a-blazin' and come out of it all with your life. There is a time and place for that and it is not then.Most likely there as on forleaving1 house to go to another is if I get contact with a loved one, or if resources are getting low. Although, I have tried to design the BOBs so that i should really have enough supplies to get to the next location. now if i don't need something that is in the bag(extra solar shower, extra sleeping pad, extra machete, etc...) i will just leave it behind.

The first location is my house because that is where I am usually at for the time being. IMO, this is going to be the best choice because i havethemostsuppliesstockedherealongwithmostofthefirearms/ammo. The house is a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom smallish house with block walls. As of right now we only have two of the three door equipped with storm/security doors, but that is changing soon and we are do use a 50gal water heater. My fiance grew up Mormon so she is used to having to store large amounts of water/food, but we have only recently started.One notable aspect to this location is that my fathers house is right across the street and luckily he has a similar mindset. We have been collecting ammo/guns for his house for along time now so we are at the point where I'm worrying about not having enough. His is a larger sized three bedroom, two bath house with a small barn in the backyard. Both houses are surrounded by block fence.

The second location is the office building i am working on for my new business. It is an all brick house with many windows, but because of the construction, there are also many sheets of plywood and general building materials. The is a medium sized tuff-shed in the back that would be the most likely place for stocking goods and for a living area. There is some food(snacks,small meals) and water (afewcasesofbottledwater) there already, but it needs to be expanded. This is definitely not my first choice for a safe-house,but I can use it for shelter while making my way to the last place.

The last location is my mothers condo that she uses periodically when she comes into town to see us. It is modest, but it does have a fluted fireplace and a balcony with a 50gal water heater. As far as space goes, it is a 1 bedroom and 1 bath condo with a fold-out couch. Like I said, its nothing fancy, but its on the outskirts of town do we could actually hunt and fish more than the other three places.

I assume that after those supplies have run dry along with what has been stocked at all three places, we/I will be raiding or scrounging. Don't get me wrong though, somethings can last for much longer than probably needed. What I mean by that is that i can always boil water to purify it, and I could also use the shelters that have been established and things of that nature. Food and water will be the main concern after things have run out, because those are harder to improvise. My guess is that we could maybe take water from irrigation systems first and then work our way out to maybe streams and rivers.

While I don't have a huge lot of land to work with, I can however go underground. As far as shelter go, there are many of them out there, so you can go with a number of different options depending on what your dealing with. Here in AZ, we have a very rocky soil, so for piece of mind, I would probably go with steel. If the circumstances were different, i might be going with fiberglass instead.

These are some of the better ones that I could find. While being expensive, but in my opinion, its definitely worth it. You never have to really fortify except for the entrance/exits, its always the same weather underground, its always there, there's lots of reasons for it being a good idea.
