Got a problem, idea, suggestion, or vendetta against me? Post it here. ~Jack~'s starting a similar thread in my Guerrilla Combat page encouraged me to do the same. So, there you go. 4  out of 4 found this valuable. Do you?

Yellow, quick thing to mention. AVOID USING THE TOILETS!!! If the pumps fail, the place is going to smell real bad. Do you find this valuable?

Do you have any suggestion on where to go? I have some, but they have already been posted elsewhere.

unfortunatly, no. But i came up with something else:
If you lose acess to water, you're screwed. But what if you have a large tank thing in the mall, fill it with water (unless that's the source of the outbreak). If so, take some tarps up to the roof and rig them up to collect water. Move the water that collects during a rainstorm into the tanks. I'm not sure, but i think this is how the Japanesse put more troops on Iwo Jima than the U.S. expected.

Maybe if you picked up generators and rigged them in a safer location inside the building then the water pumps would work along with the electrical...You'd obviosly need more than one and the means to fuel them, otherwise fall back to a different plan for waste elimination...

Drewblet: That was an excellent read with a lot of good ideas and the like in it.

"generators fail eventually."
Ahh, good point...They'd be useful in their lifespans though, and they'd last longer if power was kept to a minimum but they do die eventually regardless of babying...

It seems that you'd eventually have to leave the Mall and go somewhere else due to the lack of waste managment capability and eventual need for re-supply.

I used to work in a mall and gave this a lot of thought. Most mall stores, at least here, have gates, not doors. The location for a base camp/ sleeping area would be in a small store with no windows and a non-motorized gate. The gates are nearly impregnable, since most of them roll into the ceiling. This would be idea for an extra security measure afterthe main entrances are secure. Also, most stores have back doors for deliveries if an emergency escape be necessary.

I could make a page on IEDs, not on the explosive charges needed, but on the detonators. Do you find this valuable?
