"If your gonna raid a a place like that, make sure you are the first there, bring a truck, and pray for clear roads.

Seriously, weapons and ammo = weight. Just how much you planning on carrying? 80lbs or bad @ss weapons and ammo + your 20lb BOB. Your not going to do much in the way running if you run into problems.

Also, you better scope the place out now. Find what weapons you want and where they are stored, where the ammo you will need is, and where extra magazines are. You will need to get in and out quickly, load up and be prepared to flee or engage in a firefight quickly.

Good luck."

from my 2nd story appartment i can smoke blunts and watch the cabelas mall entrance with binocluars.
my plan would require a vehicle to transport the gun/supply bags to. i also doubt i could carry a large amount of weaponry and ammo much farther than my car waiting outside. i would pack my trunk full of guns and ammo and head back home!

Yup; surviving in a mall isn't a good idea. This is an 'If you wanna' page, not a 'Ma11z = th3h suv1v3z0r place' page.

Only thing I can suggest for human waste is to appoint an area outside of the mall where you dump all of it. Put on masks, carry the whatevers full of crap, toss it over the edge, and find a way to clean out the whatevers you crapped in. Perhaps you leave them in corner of the roof separate from the drinking and washing water containers, and you wash them out when they get rained in.

And, in terms of doors, It depends on the mall. I mean for you to block the main doors; not the little back entrance doors. That depends on the zombie type, though, but I doubt if they're going to just start pounding on the door just because it's a door. And a building sweep would be necessary, true, but it doesn't *need* to take hours. It might, though.

Personally, I agree in that you should just live near one, not in one. But rudimentary fortification *would* be pretty important if you're going to be getting supplies from it. Just rudimentary -- just enough to make it even more difficult for the zacks to get in.
