This is so freaking hard...

My plan A is, basically "If the ZA happens when I am ready, having constructed my safe haven, and completely stocked it, then..."Plan C is "If I have a small amount of supplies and all other plans fail, then" Plans D is "If I am alone with no supplies and no transportation, then..." So here is Plan B http://www.zombiesurvivalwiki.com/page/Eostre%27s+Survival+Plans This is not complete. It's not really even a plan, it's a damn list of supplies and a location. I find, however, that every idea I have for survival is completely invalidated by the fact that it has too many contingencies. In case you haven't noticed I am having a lot of trouble with this. There are so many things that could go wrong. When the ZA really hits it will probably look like something completely different than all of us have imagined. I'll keep working on Plan A, but tell me what you think about this one. Do you find this valuable?

Better than the half-arsed one I drew up for the Halloween competition last year.Mind you, I wasn't really thinking of reality when I wrote it. Do you find this valuable? |

JSF, you are as psycho on details as I am.That's a solid bug out plan. The fact you have multiple routes and stopping points say it will be able to survive all manner of problems. However, I would advise against the cancer. People would worry about you rather than the outbreak. Make it something happier, they will still come, but won't be as distracted.

"I don't plan to actually tell them I have cancer. I just plan to say "I have an extremely urgent situation and I need everyone to meet right away" They will press me for details. I will say "It's a medical situation and I need everyone together ASAP" It's true isn't it? I just happen to know they'll think Cancer, immediately so...I just can't think of anything better that will make them actually show up. If I say "Hey I'm pregnant!" They are going to say "Congratulations, can I go back to work now?" Do you find this valuable? |

I think it's fine that you tell them cancer, but I don't think you really need to shave your head.

"I think it's fine that you tell them cancer, but I don't think you really need to shave your head."Long hair is easy to grab hold of. It has nothing to do with the Cancer scenario. Do you find this valuable? |

"Long hair is easy to grab hold of.Unless your going melee, if they can grab your hair, you're too close. Now, if you have REALLY long hair, like punk rock shit or something, yeah, cut it. Do you find this valuable? |

Shave it to the bone, or just cut it really short?Doesn't really make a difference, just wanted to see what your answer was :) Do you find this valuable? |

"Unless your going melee, if they can grab your hair, you're too close.Going melee???? I plan to be ready for every possibility. Even with guns, if you are surrounded, your own chance may be to run past them. I don't plan to give them a handle. I do have really long hair, but how you could call it punk rock is beyond me. Is it punk for girls to grow their hair out nowadays? I used to have a chelsea with pink bangs when I was a teenager, but that was like 10 years ago...I feel really old all of a sudden.

"Shave it to the bone, or just cut it really short?just short. I don't really think a shaved head is necessary. Or is it? Are there any benefits I am overlooking? Do you find this valuable? |

"It has nothing to do with the Cancer scenario."I'd probably mess up the whole cancer scenario "Uhh, Hi Dad, yes, I have penis cancer." Dad: "You bastard how dare you wake me up." Do you find this valuable? |

"just short. I don't really think a shaved head is necessary.I think longer-ish hair wouldn't really be a problem. If anything, its a bit of extra defense from the sun and all. Do you find this valuable? |

Surely you can just tie it back and if it's really that long, tuck it down the back of your shirt? I don't plan on chopping my dreads off for the sake of possibly getting grabbed, when I can just shove them down the back of my jacket.Back to the point of this thread, I think you've got a solid idea there, I understand it's still a work in progress and to be honest, I think everyone, even if they think their plan is foolproof, needs to keep it "in progress", because you never know what's going to backfire. I like that you're thinking out plans for each likely scenario such as being caught unprepared/totally prepared (currently doing the same as we speak), and particularly that you have various stops/routes planned out ahead of time. I look forward to seeing more added to this, keep us posted to additional content. :) Do you find this valuable? |

In general: good for a very hot area, provided you have sunscreen. Bad for a cold one. Good if you are avoiding lice infections by staying on a farm.For girls: Makes you look like a guy from a distance, provided you are wearing baggy clothing or are an A (one woman described it as "good for grades, bad for dating"). If you are trying to hide yourself, it would help. Overall, short is probably better. It needs less thought than shaved. Sunburned dome is painful and annoying. Do you find this valuable? |

Every girl also has to remember, hair care products are not going to be a big commodity, nore really too nessecary for taking. I would deffinetly say cut it down short, however not completely off, not really needed. Back on topic however, great plan you have there. As already mentioned, it is good you are thinking out every possible problem that could occure. I was wondering, is that your uncles land in texas you had mentioned in an earlier topic?

I don't plan on chopping my dreads off for the sake of possibly getting grabbed, when I can just shove them down the back of my jacket.Hey thanks! I guess I could braid it really tight to my head...My thinking was that in a ZA situation I won't care what my hair is like, and I certainly won't want to take care of it. I'll think some more about it... Do you find this valuable? |

"Grandfather's land.Oh but your hair is so great to talk about.... Anyhow, what was your plan with defenses if you take Air Travel, i am assuming your grandfather would have more then one gun, especially since he is in Texas, but i figured i would throw the question out there?
