i know we have mentioned dogs in zombie survival but i dont think it has been exhausted like guns and BOBs. the link above is a playlist of dog training videos (not as good as i wanted but the best i could find). i have always liked the idea of training a dog to search a building for zombies before we enter, attacking a dangerous person for me, and staying guard while i sleep. the advantages of having a k9 companion are numerous, but which breed to choose? a medium/large breed dog like a german shepard would be a good dog for defending you, but they will require alot of food. a beagle would be great for everything but defense. also large breed dogs can carry a dog pack to transport some gear or at least carry their own food

I have a 18 month old fact is I'm not going to leave her behind or anything else like that. She has been worked into my plan and my plan revolves around her. After all what is the point of surviving without the possibility of a future. Instict takes over as well and anyone that doesn't have the instict to try to save an inocent child is sick.

We have had a lot of threads started for this, and even now I am getting messages saying "Have you heard..." etc.
So I am going to make this the Official thread for this, because the others seem to be getting missed, no doubt in part due to the Subject/Title of the thread being vague and ambiguous. All links and updates can be passed on to me, and I will edit this first post and put them in here for reference. Other threads will have a link to here, and any new threads should be directed here.

Just took everyone and my oldest's boyfriend out for a day of shooting ALL the guns.
Well the best thing that came from it is there is a new shooting enthusiast. He now asks to go shooting everytime he talks to my oldest. Also he now knows GF's dad can shoot. lol Now the main reasons for this thread. 1) Since there was a extra person I didn't have enough ear plugs to go around. So I "Manned Up" and shot without hearing protection. And boy do those muzzle brakes make the guns "LOUD". I knew it but didn't know that loud. I train off handed, barrier shooting, variable positions, with and without sights, ect, and ect. But always with hearing protection for safety. But now realize my muzzle breaks are loud and my M44 Mosin is dangerously loud. It could deafen someone easily and REAL fast. So now I'm rethinking all my muzzle brakes but especially the M44's. 2) Carrying all guns that would be a normal load out for SHTF. Had everyone dressed up in complete gear but the shooters only had the practice firearm on them for safety. Now gonna have to redesign my scenarios and range for multigun practices. So everyone can get used to shooting with everything that they will carry. Heck it just make it more fun but safety is always a must at all times. Anyone find other issues when shooting or have ideas for me. Thanks for any and all input.

I thought I'd clarify what I see as the difference between a BOV and a UEV. A Bug Out Vehicle is like a mobile Bug Out Location: it in itself represents your survival. You "Bug Out" into the vehicle in case of SHTF. A BOV should be packed with as much life-sustaining equipment and supplies as possible. Wood gassifiers, water purifiers, whatever. All good on a Bug Out Vehicle... it becomes your new home once zombies attack. An Urban Escape Vehicle is different in that its main purpose is transportation. As the name implies, a UEV is used to "escape" the city and flee to a Bug Out Location, while carrying more supplies than possible on foot at a greater speed. Thus, the UEV should focus more on fuel efficiency, speed, and maneuverability rather than sustainability. Once you've arrived at your destination BOL, the UEV has served its purpose and is ready to be stripped for essentials, or used as a scout car if not totaled yet. So with those descriptions in mind, my ideal BOV would be a large diesel military vehicle (durability, ability to carry everything I own) and my ideal UEV would be... probably a dirt bike. I might get one some day, but the Scion has to do for now :)

Well, I live in Australia and am only a young girl, and, therefore, do not have any access to firearms. I do however, live near a police station, have multiple knives in the kitchen, enough golf-clubs to outfit everybody in a tournament, rolling pins, a longbow, two or three metal lunchboxes, and a cat. I was wondering, do any of you have any suggestions for any other household objects I can use as weapons? Please help, I really don't want to be caught defenceless in the Zompocalypse.

my plan is to go to 16 acres of land that my Pagan Group and i have between all of us, there are several different talents arranged throughout our particular group. our plan is hold our 16 acres and start up a pagan village, a place of our own where we are not bound by the popular judeo-christian ideals. game is plentiful and there is a natural spring from off site pumping fresh water to a pond on the back of the land. after the panic our goal is to send out securing teams to the local lake and resvoir to clear the land and start another settlement on the island in the middle of the lake. there are several islands in this lake and we intend on island hopping and building our community. this plan is much more detailed than what i have posted but the "plan" is set for a course of over 15 years, that will have been enough time for the older generation to teach what they can and the adult generations to have had a few more kids and the younger kids will be reaching an age where they can take over and produce children. to continue the existence and such.

In about a month, I will be moving down with my mom to Merritt Island on Florida's Space Coast, near Melbourne, Cocoa, Titusville, Patrick AFB and, of course, the Kennedy Space Center. My house is located on the west side of the island on the Indian River, which separates it from the mainland by about a mile, and has a small, dilapidated private dock running out to it from the backyard. The previous owners left us a two-man kayak in the garage. The house is two-story with a separate garage -- looking at it, I figure that the lower floor would be hard to defend due to the preponderance of large windows and glass doors, though removing the stairs and retreating to the second floor wouldn't be a great difficulty. Living with me will be my mother (yes, I'm still living with Mom after graduation) and, starting around December, my brother after he finishes his motorcycle mechanic training.
Merritt Island is long (about 20 miles, give or take) and narrow, with a population of about 34,000, a small airport that services mostly private planes, and a strip mall-oriented commercial area with a mall and all the usual stores. The Pineda Causeway to the south of my house is just under 5 miles away (with another 2 miles or so to get off the island), while the Merritt Island Causeway to the north, which holds the commercial area, is about a 7.5 mile drive. The house is located in a (non-gated) community with only one way in or out by land, and about a half-mile drive between my house and said entrance. Anyone from the area have any tips? Something tells me that gas is gonna be a problem in an emergency, given the long distances I have to drive to get anywhere. I've been told that Merritt Island is protected from hurricanes by the barrier island to the east (population ~40,000), though I'll probably still have to deal with high winds and rain even if the storm surge is blocked. |

Realistically the best gun you could have would be light, reliable, accurate, cheap, decent range, and have abundant ammunition and be over all kick ass(sorry for language). What Rifle would fit all of these requirements? Why The "Henry Repeating Arms AR-7 Survival Rifle" of course.

Alright. Say we had an actual location, and had a sufficient amount of bills to start building a small armory. Forget that we don't really have either of these, or that we would be put on several watchlists for doing so. What would be the firearms and melee weapons that would stock our newly-purchased gun racks and cabinets?
We don't have the money to stock it with highly expensive weapons, so for this scenario, we'll put a cap on $1000 cost per piece for firearms, and $100 cost per piece for melee. You must also consider that not everyone here is a firearms native (keep in mind our high teenager traffic), and therefore might not be able to operate and care for complex weapons efficiently (AR-15, etc.). You want a gun that you can basically say "This is here, that's there, ok, you're good to go." What would you choose, ZSDW? Rifle: (one only) Pistol: (one only) Shotgun: (one only) Special-purpose firearms: (Any non-standard, niche-filling firearms, can choose more than one.) Knife: (one only) Additional melee weapons: (as many as you want) {{{{EDIT: This is not a place to post your own, personal loadout. Please be so kind to actually read this post and follow the instructions in said post.}}}}

When picking out a hideout never ever pick a mall i know they have a wide inventory of items and sometimes a knife/sword store but there are to many entrances and dont have enough supplies to stay a long time. I would prefer first taking a truck as big as you can get i prefer a ford of the superduty series and then head straight to a home depot, lowes or any other store that holds tools,lumber,and dry wall for barricades, barriers, walls, (power tools make the job easier and can kill zombies quickly), training targets. then drop off all of these supplies at the hideout and make sure u have several men to start building right away and have some guard the group while the place is under construction. if limited men women can do sentry duty i meen they can me in the military and shooting a gun isnt to hard. then head to a costco to pick up frozen foods, canned foods, etc because costco carries everything in bulk sizes u wont need very many packages for a while so keep this as a resource place. after dropping these off go for a shooting range, outdoor goods store, police store, and if u r lucky a near by military base. these places will hold plenty of weapons, knives, armor, and camp out stuff. the only time i reccomend u go to a mall is for stuff like clothes cuz u always need a change of clothes and also u need to have some light clothes for running incase ur base gets overwhelmed. comment good reviews and i will put the rest of the plan if u dont like it to bad cuz i thimk its a smart plan

I believe that rocks and rubble should be combined, and unarmed should be moved to really bad options. On an unrelated note, the section for Hooligan tools was very well written.

First off: Happy Memorial Day! Thank you to all of our troops, past and present, living and dead. Most of you, I would assume, have already seen this story on one site or another or even on a newspaper. I'm not saying it was zombies, but it was zombies. Now in reality, it was drugs, but still, this is a disturbing read to say the least and I think deserves a thread on the forums.

If you didn't have all the TWD drama and a little boy who was never watched going on in your group what would you have done as far as planning if it was you and your group living on Hershal's farm?
Would you have used all the cool things like a backhoes, tractors, stock trailers, T-posts, woven wire, barbed wire, electric fence wire, junk pile, hay equipment, welders, chainsaws, generators, carpenter tools, garden tools, ect... to fortify your position or would all of your planning went into an extreme bug out plan that would get you out of the area before the first walker stepped foot on the property? NO, you do not get Hershal's "infinity ammo" shotgun. Sorry.

What would a zombie do if confronted by its own reflection? Would it get confused and stumble away or wildly lash out and destroy it or simply do nothing? Would fitting one way glass windows to your house be the only protection you need from the living dead? Tell me what you think.

Excellent places would be somewhere with lots of food and water easily accessible inside,weapons and ammo inside,and idea lookout points.A good place can be a Folgers,a Wal-Mart if the doors are barricaded,or similar place.

Alright guys. I need to hear your input on what you have always envisioned when you hear "Zombie Apocalypse Vehicle". Accessories, colors, lights, roof rack... whatever.
My Urban Escape Vehicle is in the garage while I work on the Stage Two suspension and engine design, so I've got time to tinker with other things as well. Already working on full CB/HAM/Scanner comm suite, among other things. I will take all your suggestions into consideration when designing the next phase of the UEV. This time... it's war.
