zDexter's Survival Plan

G'day folks, zDexter here pushing the survivor effort in Australia, This is my firsst post (so please, be harsh) and as i see it there are 3 sure-fire ways of surviving a ZPOC here, short of locking yourself in a cellar with a steel door are:
1. Heading out west into the scarcely populated outback
2. Living at sea, or Sydney harbour
or 3. Escaping into the bush.

During the intial panic of Z-day i doubt that it would be possible to safely drive the 4 hours it would take to take me out of my urban area so my plan relies on bailing into the bush.
Keep in mind that no matter how well planned we are, or how many details we have taken into consideration, our survival will depend on circumstantial and opportunistic factors. e.g You have a foolproof zombie plan, a perfect BOB and BOL, a ssource of food and water, but z-day strikes when you're in the city attending a huge music festival (game over)

With that in mind, i devised my plan with spontanaety at the forefront.
2 minutes from my house lies an entrance to a vast bush reserve, in which a few select friends and i have created our BOL, complete with cliff on one side, climbable for us, not so much for zack, thick scrub and ankle traps on all other sides, make-shift bed and fireplace and a pantry. Consisting of a hidden eski containing enough canned food and drink for a few days.

When zeds strike my friends and i (who all share a common plan) can make it to our BOL in a timely manner from anywhere in the near local area. If i am fortunate enough to be at home and the option of bugging in isn't an available option (i have a separate plan for bugging in at home) i can have myself geared up and my BOB packed in just over a minute, armed with a crowbar i can be in the safety on the bush within minutes.

I like your frank and realistic view of bugging out from an urban location. I also like the idea of keeping things flexiable as possible. Having scouted out a spot to hole up in, shows that you have given this more than just a passing, casual thought.

However I think you should give more thought to the long term. The spot you have selected seems to be more of an initial BOL, a meeting place for your friends once the dead arise. This may buy you a few days, but what if your friends bring others? What then?

One problem of living in a large populated area is that once the dead start wandering around looking for ppls to munch on, ppls will tend to flee to the suburbs and then to the same bush your going to hold up in. A bigger problem is that they will bring their infected and the shambling moaning horde with them. Unless your able to keep a very low profile so that nobody notices you, dead or otherwise, your going to have company. This same group is likely to get hungry and start to scavenge the same houses your thinking of.

A firearm is always preferable over a melee weapon, but whenever possible, avoid detection and avoid having to fight zombies. Firearms make noise, which will attract more zombies, or worse; desperate, starving and terrified survivors. The odd shot may be hard to zero in on, but a series of shots is advertising your position.

As for extermination, is there any point? Not too sure how many ppls live in Sydney, but if we only assume half get turned into zombies, the other half either survive or end up in zombie stomachs, you got alot of zeds to worry about. Your going to need a butt load of ammo.. even if you can somehow convince all the zombies to line up in a row for 10 headshots at a time......

I would recommend avoiding contact if all possible, but there will be situations where you will have to engage them in combat. Just pick your ground and terms to fight on whenever possible.

When i realize that the outbreak is occurring the odds are that i am at home so my first action is to get my mom to call the list of people to initiate the plan they are to get their supplies and head to the primary holdout and start securing and fortifying it.

The exception is the level 3 federal firearm dealer i know he is to get his friends around and i will be heading over to his place to pick up some better firepower and his team we are going to head to walmart in the nearby town on the way drop off the extra weapons and ammo at the primary holdout.

At the walmart we will drive around behind it avoiding attention of the zombies or any people that might be alive to the loading docks and snag a crate or two of beef stew or other non-refrigerated food we can get our hands on and put it in the back of the pickup.

On the way we will get 4 gallons of diesel and drop it off and two people at a barn and on the way back from the walmart trip we stop to pick them up and i follow them in the tank and stop at the gas station and fill it up and we return to the primary holdout.

The two people are to locate the tank in the garage the keys and add the 4 gallons of diesel in preparation for me to drive it.

The primary holdout is in Mendon, MI the IAC factory its perimeter is fenced and has 2 gates and forklifts and many crates to quickly block off and reinforce the building.
