Sounds like a sound plan

There is only three things I wonder.

1. Why are you going to fortify your home, load it with supplies, and then leave on fot (leaving most of it behind)

2. You are obviously planning on, atleast starting the survival alone. How will you sleep att nights? I'm not sure what the barn is made of, but it looks like wood to me, Assuming zombies are bashing the wall with all their strenth, it can't take "that" long to make a hole.

3. You mentioned cultivating plants, The barn doesn't have a flat roof, nor can you grow any large amounts of food indoors. (Lamps could work, but I assume your solar cells are small portable versions, that can't really support a large "field".
Do you find this valuable?

1. Because if his house is in Suburbia, USA, it does not make sense for long-term survival.

2. Why would there more than 10 zombies attacking a barn, which is probably in a relatively rural area? Plus, he DID say that he'd be fortifying the barn.

3. You plant them outside.

1. I know it isin't. However I still don't see the point in spending time (and risking your life scalvaging materials) wich you will just leave behind anyways.

2. When he said fortify the barn, I assumed he meant blocking windows and such. Not reinforcing the walls. Most people tend to write it that way. All the barricade topics seams to be about how to block doors and windows, not reinforcre walls. No idea where you get the numbers from. It could also be a horde of 2000 zombies who smell uninfected humans to eat.


3. Cultivating outside is rather risky isin't it? Besides, his fields would be filled with contaminaded zombie corpses, blood spray and possibly injured/lurking zombies, not nice att all. Considering that the zombie infection/virus might be dangerous to eat, along with limited energy to use with cooking, they could possibly bring infection inside.

1. So you survive long enough to avoid The Panic, and can Bug Out.

2. I would imagine that foritfying the barn would include basics on the walls. Hay bales would be enough to block any cracks or broken boards.

3. No more risky than living in a zombie world. And don't just think that you can grow crops on any flat roof. Without the proper structural reinforcement, you are turning your shelter into a death trap.
