Just a joke, not legit, you know...for entertainment...the entire reason any of us choose a Zombie site for survival tips rather than a survival site.

Insane-Survivor	44. RE: Zombie Apocalypse MUST HAVES Mar 17 2010, 9:06 PM EDT Well,a negative of carrying all this stuff is the weight. you don't want to carry to much ammo,guns,or tools,and you don't want to much clothing or protective gear. Some protective gear that is light is recommend by me,because you want to have a certain amount of mobility and speed. to much guns is bad because that to is also to much weight. If you want lots of firepower, then get some survivors and have them carry some weapons. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
Insane-Survivor	45. RE: Zombie Apocalypse MUST HAVES Mar 17 2010, 9:09 PM EDT Yes,i agree with this. going into a supermarket is like a deathtrap. In there could be an Insane-Survivor like me that has set traps everywhere or,on the other hand, it could be infested with zombies. the only way to get into a supermarket without being devoured is to go in with survivors armed with Semi-automatic rifles and eliminate any zombie threats.

RyanRydell	46. RE: Zombie Apocalypse MUST HAVES Mar 19 2010, 11:52 AM EDT I've posted the next section of my list. This section confronts the need from health and nutrition. bottled water water purification tablets canteen water pump respirator first aid kit MREs Next I will be posting a list of my suggested crew type. this, coupled with the transportation list to follow it, will help some of you see why the amount of stuff I'm suggesting isn't an issue. if you care to see the actual list, rather than read it here, the site is ryanrydell.blogspot.com - if not, the prior portions of the list are, and all future items will be, posted on this thread.

PA65000	47. RE: Zombie Apocalypse MUST HAVES Mar 20 2010, 2:25 PM EDT Well, as a newcomer to ZAS&DW, I've scanned two threads, trying to see if it would be possible to find an informative discussion. The first thread was practically unintelligible, due to a number of (attempted) posters evidently being functionally illiterate. While this thread is a great improvement in the English grammar, syntax and spelling department, and it started off with a good attempt at actually discussing what would be indispensable, and a fairly impressive list, it quickly degenerated into a discussion about Wal-Mart. WAL-MART?!!?! Get a grip, people. I'll be back later; one more chance.... Post reply 0 out of 4 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?

If you only want to give "one more chance" then give it one more chance. Then you can probably go ahead and leave. It's a good site. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Although some of my posts may have forced the issue of Wal-Mart, I simply want to get some feedback on my lists (and defend its validity when necessary). Therefore, I hope you will contribute to my quest of keeping this thread relevant. PS - Homestar Runner is hilarious. Post reply Do you find this valuable?

Joined today, saw grand total of 2 random thread (out of >8K) and threaten abandoning us all to a world without PA6500. I shudder to think of the horror of life w/o PA6500. Somehow we've survived.

That's the curse of open-wiki format - anyone can post a thread, whether its intelligible (or not) or advertisement for another site, or on/off topic. Anyone can make them. May I make a suggestion? Look at the featured threads list under "Discussions." These threads are either important to the progress of the ZSDW Project or otherwise noteworthy. Also, try using the search toolbar and search for a topic that you're curious about. Check articles first, as these are typically (not always though) held to a greater standard than threads.

One thing to remember is that this site is home to many people. Not just those who speak English. Now for me I just try to get the points across. Not make them pleasing to some profs eyes. Only a couple of users here are Grammar Nazis and they're generally cool aside from that annoying habit. Now if this is how you're going to be regularly maybe you should just keep your chance to yourself. ^_^ Post reply Do you find this valuable?

RE: Zombie Apocalypse MUST HAVES Mar 21 2010, 5:38 AM EDT " WHAT TO SHOOT 1911 SS Loaded 5" Combat Springfield XDM 9mm .22 Long Rifle 12 Gauge PA Shotgun M4 Carbine Assault Rifle 38 Special Sniper Rifle AMMO 1911 - .45 ACP - 500 rnds SA XDM - 9mm - 1000 rnds .22 Long Rifle - .22LR - 2000 rnds M4 Carbine - 5.56x45mm NATO - 500 rnds PA Shotgun - 12 Gauge Buck Shot - 250 rnds .38 Special - .38 +P - 100 rnds Sniper - varies - 250 rnds WHAT TO SWING Must NOTs (sword)" I agree with everything except for some of the weaponry. For my assault rifle I would have an AK-47 because of greater durability, lighter weight, easier to clean, fewer parts to replace and the AK doesn't have the 'corrosion from firing' problem that the M4 does. For shotgun, Remington Model 1100 TAC4, specifically for the built in scope mounts and the 2 shot magazine extension, 4>2 after all And, yes, a katana (don't know why you wouldn't want a sword) because if there are only three zombies in your way then why waste ammo? Plus you don't need to reload a sword. A Martin Archery Firecat compound bow (specifically for silent kills) Make the 1911 a rimfire version(ammo conversion purposes) add a silencer for every gun and you're good to go in my opinion Post reply Do you find this valuable?

RyanRydell	56. RE: Zombie Apocalypse MUST HAVES Mar 21 2010, 11:21 AM EDT "MREs...As in a box of MREs? ...That's a lot of extra weight" pretty much. i'm not stating brand or quantity, but certainly enough to carry the times when other sources of fresher food is out of the question. the weight issue will be addressed when i list my suggested crew and vehicles.

To quote my blog: Samurai Sword or Katana Sword - as cool as these may look...you are NOT a samurai, nor are you a movie star with harnesses and fake blades. You will not know how to properly handle these weapons and will most likely end up hurting yourself just trying to carry it, let alone wielding it against a zombie. When listing the pump action shotgun i stayed away from specifying a model because there are a lot of great ones out there. I personally like Remington...your choice is not a bad one. are you saying substitute the 1911 for a .22 pistol, or converting the 1911 from .45 to .22? Post reply Do you find this valuable?

You will not know how to properly handle these weapons and will most likely end up hurting yourself just trying to carry it, let alone wielding it against a zombie." What about folks who seek training in Budo Taijutsu, Iaido, kendo or kenjutsu? Or folks who have learned to use a sword through other methods, like the SCA, using the ARMA method or one of the many different schools of Renaissance sword traing? These folks know where to get high quality weapons (at surprisingly affordable prices) that will meet or exceed the expectations set forth by those of us in the zombie survival community - who know comparatively little about sword play. In fact, while many swords constructed today are nothing more than show pieces, some modern swords are actually much higher quality than their 500 year old grandfathers - modern metallurgical practices are considerably better, as is access to higher quality materials. I think it would be unwise to totally rule out swords or other medieval weaponry, but it should only be considered by those who have sought FORMAL training from an experienced source - one that can ensure you're learning something useful. As a side note, it's not like I plan on using a sword against zombies or anything (I've got plenty of guns and ammunition) but I do own a "real" sword that would be durable enough for the job, but I also know how to use it. I've been a member of the SCA for some time and learned how to use all manner of western medieval weapons. The SCA fight system is as much a martial art as my judo class is!

Machete > Sword Edit: By secondary function I meant they serve no purpose other than killing people, not that it doesn't zoom in when I right click. Post reply Do you find this valuable?
