Trancecore Jack's Plan-Z
--- view more survival plans -----
Your Name: Will
Your "handle" should we look for you on the radio waves or web: Jack; Jack Roulle
Your location: Reno, NV
Tell us:
Is your plan dependent on zombies in your home town, or anywhere?It's for when my city is in danger of getting swept by the zeds.
Will you be staying in your home or headed somewhere else?
Initially, I'll be in my home, but that's just to make sure I'm prepared enough to venture forth and take back my city, and secure it indefinitely.
If you're heading out, how do you plan to get there?
I'd go on foot, most likely. If the streets were clear enough, and I needed to go across the city for example, I'd have someone drive me there. Preferably using a jeep, truck, or SUV with a moon roof or sport rack [I really just wanna be on top of a moving vehicle].
Got anyone you want to take with you?
Whoever feels like tagging along. If you're one of my closest allies, unless you have something better to do, you're coming with me.
How will you communicate with the outside world, or do you plan to go the hermit route?
Hopefully we'll be able to make use of the TV station located in the northern part of the city. Aside from that, radios and the web [assuming it would still be available for use].
How are you planning to get food and water?
The Truckee River flows right through the city. If that source was compromised, there are other lakes and reservoirs located around the region, and we could always have water transported to us via train or aircraft. Same with food. And I'm sure an agricultural zone could be setup along the river. If all that wasn't enough, perhaps some nearby cities or towns could start a supply run. Fallon looks pretty green. With enough fortification, that town's agricultural sectors could be secured, and a convoy could run straight from there to here using 80.
What's your weapon of choice? Do you need to reload that thing? Gotta plan for that?
I have several weapons that I'd like to have on my person at all times, most of which are bladed-types.
Got a survival philosophy?
As silly as this sounds, I picked up an awesome motto a while back from an anime called “Dragonball Z”. The character's name was Gohan, and he was training with his dad, Goku, to reach a higher level of power. The philosophy is simple: “It's all or nothing. There is no in-between.” You either survive, or you don't.
Are you willing to hook up with other survivors?
Absolutely. That's what my whole plan is about. To secure the city as a sanctuary from the undead hordes. Also as a supply/rest stop for those who are merely passing through.
Is your plan based on a book/movie/blog/scientist we may have heard of?
My plan is pretty much an all-out summary of what I've learned thus far, using my own pre-existing logic and reasoning to sort it out and fine tune the details.
My Zombie Plan [Detailed Version]
[*note: This and the plan on my profile are the same. Anytime one is changed/updated, the other will get the same changes.]
First, I made my own Zombie Threat Level Chart, because I don't agree with the default Max Brooks configuration.
Second, I don't have my planned equipment yet, but I'll still type this as though I did actually have it at the time of the outbreak.
*Note: I know some of the items in the list may not seem... realistic... but really, I know of legit places I can get whatever I'll need. Except for the silencers. I'm not quite sure how I'd manage that. But, as long as it works, then why not?*
Trancecore's ZTLC:
L1- Standard; Zero threat.
L2- Standby; Unconfirmed report(s) of possible infection.
L3- Low; Infection(s) confirmed. Standard SDC procedure ["Sweep, Dispose, Cover"].
L4- Moderate; Medium threat. Media involvement. Containment of affected areas, and evacuation of unaffected surrounding areas.
L5- High; Infection has spread over large area. Military involvement. Travel [domestic and foreign] restricted to authorized personnel.
L6- Severe; National threat. Full military activation.
L7- Extreme; Infection has gone global. Survive.
L8- Apoc; You're probably not reading this one...
Trancecore's Carrying Equipment:
I'm sort of the unconventional type. I have a preference for heavy armor [for example, I regularly choose steel-toes over slip ons or tennis shoes]. If it's an odd method, I'll probably like it. Which explains a lot about why I chose the items on my list below to be carried with me at all times.
Clothing/armor:
-Thin, long-sleeved undershirt
-Long-sleeve ringmail cuirass
-Thin, long-sleeved overshirt
-3/4-length duster
-Knuckle gloves
-Carpenter jeans
-Steel-toed boots
-Dog tags
Weapons:
-2 pistols, 5 clips each
-2 trench knives
-2 hatchets
-2 combat knives
-1 full length long staff or halberd
-1 War Hammer
Tools/supplies:
-1 Backpack
-1 Carpenter hammer
-1 Philips screwdriver
-1 Flathead screwdriver
-1 7-day rations kit
-1 Med kit
-2 20 ounce plastic bottles
-3 Handheld radio devices
-3 Flashlights
-2 Silencers for the pistols
-? Decent supply of compatible batteries
-1 Crowbar
-? Small supply of desalinizing tablets
-1 USB storage device
-1 Camera/video + sound recording device
Phase One
Now, let's see. Where to begin... My residence is a 2-story townhouse building of an apartment complex, living with my parents, so...
Assuming default conditions, I wake up at 0500 Sunday. After a typical morning routine, I turn the TV onto CNN. My mind goes right to L2 as odd events are happening in the NE. Unsettled as I am, I remain skeptic as I fire up my comp to see if I can confirm what is going on. Pictures, audio/video captures... too quality to be some hoax. It's real. L4.
I immediately turn off all lights, charge up phones, rechargeable batteries, etc., and clean out the tubs and sinks to begin filling them with water. My parents would be wondering what in the name of Bob I'm doing. I would've had their computer's on by then, so I'd load up whatever I found on their comps and turned the TVs onto whatever channels were broadcasting the events. After gathering up all the necessary research/maps/etc. and allowing my parents a moment to take in the situation, I'd set them down and give them instructions [they'd be freaking out and wanting to take charge, but I'd have them in their places soon enough].
My mom would keep watch from her bedroom window [2nd floor] while my dad grabs his Pathfinder from the parking lot and backs it up to the entryway [It's a small cutout from the front face of the building, and you have to enter and turn right to face the door], crawling out the hatch to come back in [to keep any zombies from impeding our path to the vehicle, also having the bonus of not having zeds trying to knock down my door]. The backyard is fenced in [tall wooden], but the back door is a sliding glass, so my dad would need to block and cover that and the windows while my mom took inventory of what consumables [food, beverages, vitamins, etc] we have.
Once we know what all we have and all ground level entrypoints are secured, I can get started with adjusting my plans based on any variables and move on to Phase Two.
Phase Two
Now that the basics are out of the way, it's time to get ready to work.
Contact needs to be made with various individuals, so I'd start getting messages out, hoping they'd all receive them in time. Internet groups and sites [like this one] would be next, along with whoever else I could think of. My parents would be told to alert family members and whoever they could think of, as well.
[to be continued...]
