ContentsThis is a work in progress. Anything you think I have missed, please say so.
This is a long range plan.
Much of the work on here will take around a decade to finance, set up and accomplish. I don't want to hear any whining that it is unrealistic due to cost. Lack of funds can put paid to any plan. Funding will be a combination of my work and venture capitalism. The goals are two-fold. The first are to be prepared for WTSHTF. The second is to have a property that will still be of value and of use if nothing untoward happens. This plan started with Max Brooks, and has evolved into a general survivalist scenario, albeit one chiefly designed to cope with an undead plague. A lot of the ideas have come from Emergency by Neil Strauss.
This is designed for a Class 4 outbreak, global outbreak lasting for 50 years or more. Class 1, 2 and 3 outbreaks are covered by Parts 1-3.
Contingency plansThese are here to show what I would do should disaster strike tomorrow. As each stage of the plan is completed, the contingency will be removed. These are updated along with the rest of the plan.
Part 1: Current supplies allow me to Bug In for about 4 weeks, which is longer than the accepted time-to-rescue of 72 hours.
Part 2: Driving is the last resort, but I would have enough supplies, cash, etc to get on a boat or plane headed for the Caribbean. If I have to spend any time in the wilderness, I can survive with my BOB rations and make a
Fire Bed.
Part 3: Should the base be incomplete, island living will still be the safest option in a Class 4 outbreak. My skills can directly translate into most professions, and they will be useful on the island in some capacity, even if only as teacher or medic.
Part 4: For emergency exit, rappel ropes can be fixed to the back of the top tier, and we will make a break for the boat. This will be a dive boat secured at the shore, allowing short-term living at sea, and escape to other islands. Should the boat be unavailable (stolen, sunk, etc) then we will relocate to a pre-determined BOL (to be decided once the outbreak has started.)
