"Cement is pretty tough especially if it's up to code for earthquake retrofitting or in a apartment complex on the 5th floor. Most stairs are 10 inches long by 7 inches high. You are going to need a sledge hammer and a 6-10 inch circular saw. You would have to crack through the cement which, if you are making a man sized hole will take at least 2 hours. then you have to pull out the saw the get through the rebar. Rebar is 2 to 3 inch thick metal bars that you can shape and then pour concrete or cement over top to strengthen the form. Get the saw out and get to cutting. Now hope and pray the stairs don't lead to a basement because most cement stairs in a high rise or foundation will have a solid steel support backing (about 2-3 inches thick). If you get to steel and the brain eaters are about to bust down the door to the stairwell get that saw out to start the blood bath. You would then need a magnesium blow torch to cut through it. But the kicker is after all that does is lead to a concrete wall? IS there a space behind that stair?"

Kind of a survivalist sleepover."

"I would say that securing the building with barricades would take a equal amount of energy and be less dangerous. Just because ZSG tells you to destroy the stairs doesn't mean it is always a good idea.
I don't think the roof garden will be anywhere near the production of food you will need. a proper BOL will need to be found."

"Great idea!
... Where am i supposed to learn how to can food D:"

"JFGI.

Just ******* Google it. :)

Almost anything can be learnt online if you can use a search engine properly."
