rotating lawn mower blades on cheap 2 stroke engines. (Wind and belt power alteratives) either set in a gauntlet fashion (lead zombies into a hallway shaped run where the blades eat them up) or spread around a moat or defense perimeter. You could pen cows into a high fenced area, and surround it with windmill powered rotating blades. You're welcome.

So I was thinking my grandfather can back the bucket truck (It has a hollow back) into the back of the dump truck, creating a some-what fortified, protected area where I could live with some other survivors. I would also use the bobcat to dig a trench around our area, stack the dirt from the trench around the trucks to stabalize it incase the zombies pile up en masse and manage to get out of the trench, and we can also put logs against it for more stabalization. I would then put tarps over the open area of the truck, keep a ladder near the sides (to escape when the zombies's bodies eventually rot and become useless, also for bathroom breaks) then weld some alluminum sheets where the truck connects (for peace of mind) put planks where the metal in the dump truck is bent, set up the matresses (with pillows/blankets) and put my cooler filled with food and another one filled with water bottles near my matress, and wait it out. Criticism/comments?

Has there been a discussion about using ZED as a base defense against raiders, and for booby traps? If one used extreme caution(using heavy gloves, or some tong type tool for moving heads. or stand off pole weapons for full body zeds), I am thinking one could:

1.decapitate zeds, and attaching their heads to pikes facing outward from your outer perimeter. maybe on pikes. that would definitely deter any raiders. The severed heads could not moan, since they do not have the lung pressure to move the vocal cords, so they would not draw more ZEDs.

2. One could put decapitated zed heads in shallow pits, and cover with a thin camoflauge. Raider steps into pit, and zed takes a bite.

3. Place large numbers of zed heads in a container, designed to fall onto someone.

4.Maybe even a zed head catapult on a defensive tower.

For complete or semi complete zeds:

1.corral them like a herd of cows into pens lining a obvious entryway. Remotely open the pens on raiders as they come down the entryway. (would have to be sound proof, and I am not going to be the one herding the zeds.) LOL

What do you think?

I like the Idea of this "fort",but it's way too complex for the average joe to construct without constant reference to this guide which may not be readily available.I believe you should first and foremost AVOID crowded and public areas,with large populations.That prevents you being threatened by hordes.A simple motor vehicle(vans,trucks and SUV's are good options) are effective at getting you out of the city.Use any large house,one that may have wooden palliside fences for dog control,like my aunts batch.My house in the city has small concrete and steel fence around it(built before I got the place) that prevents the basic instinct to climb.

When out,make sure you construct a hasty defense,and ones that allow you to SAFELY fall back without exosing an inroute for simple minded zombies.This could include walls around your fort,wooden or concrete depending on resources avaiable to you and time at hand.Wire mesh is not reccomended as it can easily be torn down with sheer weight.I also reccomend wire mesh ON TOP of your concrete or wooden wall,and spiked steel,which makes sure they can't get over.You may also want to build towers,or even just construct a gunners nest on the roof of your building.Ensure that your electricity,gas,fuel,food and water supplies are secure,tank water running of rain is the best option,as well as lines.Once that has been secured,make sure you can get in AND out of your fortress,and that the entrance is secure.MG nests and flame turrets are the best option for bottlenecking zombies and raiders.

Well Some people want to dig in and others want to stay mobile but what if you could do both.
Now this will require at the least 4 people and 4 trucks. now after you have that you should have 2 truck campers that have 2 beds most come with a bed then a foldable couch that turns into a small bed. should look something like this.... http://best-camper.com/wp-content/themes/camper/images/h_pic4.jpg now this is an alaskan camper it has a hydrolic roof that when fully up is about 6,4 of height.
these come fully equiped with kitchens, dinettes and beds. So you have 2 camper trucks for sleeping and 2 other trucks for storage and you could use one for a assault truck or what ever you need be it a storage truck or a supply truck during raids.
Now when you reach where you want to be you can just turn the car off and every one pile ie one of the beds except for 2 who will watch guard for 5 to 6 hours then then wake up the other guys and they will keep watch for 6 to 7 hours.
while the other guys can get some sleep. and once you picked the area clean you just saddle up the trucks and move on. now this could work with no guards sine you have 4 beds but its less safe unless you have a ditch or some kind of barrier but it could also work if your in a forest or some other secluded area.

Now I forgot to mention that my idea was based around trucks with bio diesel engines so as long as you got some kind of diesel fuel or vegtibal oil you should be alright.

Now lets say you total a camper like inu dude said well if your lucky and nobody got hurt and you ain't already surrounded by zombies you could salvage what ever you can from the fridge and the guns and ammo and pack it in to one of the supply or storage trucks and get the guys from the truck into one of the left over trucks since you 3 trucks left and you only have 4 to 5 people. There should be enough space for everyone to sit.
But not much space to sleep.

with the machine gun nest, you will need headshots. this is very hard with a machine gun. & the rest is good, but i suggest if you are to build a fort, build it in an isolated area. by the time you hole up in your house, there will be tonnes of zeds outside, & they will cut you off from ever leaving. & it will be very hard to feed the ammount of people required to meet these demands.

As any of you who’ve been aboard a ship should know, when you flush the toilet on a ship, the bowl is filled with a grey0ish, nasty looking water that vaguely looks like someone took a shit, siphoned off the solids, and then poured it back into the toilet.
What you’re actually seeing is called Grey Water. As you wash, shower, prepare food, etc, the water poured down the drain is collected in a tank called the “Grey Water Tank.” It’s a nasty brew of water, cleaning agents, some dirt, etc. Not potable, of course, but certainly not sewage. This is used to flush the toilet; An educator (a ball with two water lines, on smaller that the water comes in through, the other larger that the water goes out by) sucks the sewage (even solids) out of the bowl, then allows a small amount to fill the bottom of the bowl (about a half-inch, just enough to prevent the methane from coming back in).
I submit, with or without the educator, that Grey Water can similarly be re-used for toilets after AND BEFORE the rise of the skin jobs.

while many of you will read the subject and go "no it will not be available and thus, is thrown in the wind" WRONG! as long as you live in/near a port city (or own a cargo ship) they will be (somewhat) available for use BUT do NOT use them for a barricade use something else unless that is the only thing in supply, but in this situation a barricade and fort is done AND you have the availability to transport such big things to your fort with ease . Then you take them back to your fort/village and put them down where housing or 1-room buildings are needed and then, fill it up with what ever you need and BOOM you have quick,livable houses or a quick building for hospitals AND it comes with a big,heavy metal door that can be secured from either side. and that is why you should use them BUT do not go out of your way to get them OR do not take unnecessary risk to get them. thank you for hearing what I have to say

for a good water suplly you need:

a water purifier and a sledge hammer and a shovel...

inside your fort use the hammer to smash away through part of the floor on the lowest level then dig down through the dirt and you will come across undergorunds water, if u can use bricks turn it into a well and houst water up (obviuosly youd need some rope, a bucket and a small wodden frame) then use the purifirer to purify it before you drink it. wah lah, you have a well.

secondly for food, use ladders and break them in half then put trays between the steps

|_|
| | looks abit like that, and plant seeds in plant pots and create a kindof upwads farm on ur roof. obviouysly choose carefully wat u grow. but that basically if u understanded that, once ur plants start to grow well should keep u sorted for a long long time.
