You have to remember though that it's possible they'll restrict access to that base. Also, there's no guarantee that they'll keep you alive. I'm sure you do have some good skills, but they're not going to take care of you anymore than anybody else. 2  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

I could make some comment proving you wrong, or ask for specifics, but I'll just sit and watch.

Even then, you should have a plan. Being on a base is no promise of safety.

my plan b is to gather my closest friends and my family and we will clear out a storage facility and set up a colony there using what resources are there and bringing farming tools ( some of my family live on a farm) and we will tap into the underground river and make a water filtration system out of charcoal and sand if we have to leave base

i choose a storage facility because most of them are easily defendable and when most people think zombie survival they think of costco



in other words i will dig in deep and grow some broccoli

Have you ever grown any food? You'd better have several acres.

Indeed. Just ask the families of the 13 folks who were fatally wounded (and the 30 non-fatally wounded) at Fort Hood last November...

Gotta have plans. Plan B is a start, but you might want to work on Plan C too.

Thats Better, this should be your plan A.
First of thank you for not mentioning Walmart.

As a rule of thumb it takes about a year to be able to grow a feesable crop so before that whats your plan for food during that time.

Do you or your family have experince digging borewater wells?

I walk in with a shotgun in my waistband what stops me kicking you all out (or worse).

But besides that, this is a really well thought out plan and should probably be plan A.

Well I'm impressed, you have put more thought into this then I first thought I have one final question.

It's pretty late, you'll probably get more responses tomorrow. I think you're off to a great start.

As soon as our military folks sign in, they'll be able to give you the skinny on base life and protocol should SHTF. I'd listen to what they have to say - could be good, could be bad.

It's definitely a start. And, forgive my rudeness, welcome to the site! I'm LJ, one of the moderators here. Let me or another staffer know if there's anything we can do to help you out.
