uhh in this thread just post some ideas on some traps

my first idea (i will definately post more) this is a very basic trap ill just rig up a steel garbage full with anyting to make it heavy (dirt,rocks,bricks,cement,ect) it willl be rigged with chains and rope. i will set it so when it falls itll hit at head level i will set up a trip wire trigger system


this is only one of my many ideas post your own 2  out of 5 found this valuable. Do you?

Even this booby trap would have a one time use (until you reset) you should put spike through the bottom to give you a good chance of disabling your zombie intruder. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

the wait of the trap hitting a zeds head will destroy thehead and brain killing it also a spike on it will only make a extremely lucky zed that survived get stuck on it and when i pull it off it'll
bite me and i'll become a zed.

heres another one of my trap (please post your own trap ideas everyone dont just tell me some flaws

for this trap i'll just set up a semiauto over other door with a trip wire trigger zed or raider/looter enters door they hit wire(which is tied to the trigger) and the gun puts one round it their head killing them semiauto with full mag conserves ammo and kills them 0  out of 1 found this valuable.

What if an ally goes through? And I have my an idea for 'goop' zombies dig a hole with a ladder you can climb up. The hole MUST be about 3 times the volume of the 'goop'. Simply go into the hole with the ladder at the side away from the goop. Since goops are not smart, they will get stuck in the hole if you take the ladder away when you get up. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Before I post this, let me make something very clear. This is a guide I got off of thedisease.net database of survival manuals. This specific manual has the best layout of booby traps I've found, but the problem is, it was originally written for the purposes of being used in a race war.

I am not a racist, nor do I support racist behavior. This guide is solely useful for the information it contains, not the message it tries to convey. Use at your own risk.

how about this, for the spike idea. Just smash its head with a metal bar, or shoot it, or get another spike and smash it's head in.

Id put a sort of arrow thing like on Indiana Jones, with tripwires which would set it off.

Or a gun at a safe distance with a LED Laser Sight which detects movement.

And yes, Hooray for Boobies :P 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I'd like to lay a "mine field" of those sharp-jawed steel traps, staked or chained to the ground. Catch zombies straying near your base and hold them till you can dispose of them. Mess up a raider, etc. Easily concealed and reusable! Do you find this valuable?

I'm not much for traps really, but your deadfall has merit. you don't want to just hit head level though, you want to cause as much physical trauma as possible. If you don't kill it you'll at least damage it so severely that it isn't capable of being a serious threat.

The thought I have about traps isn't about damaging them as it is about controling their movements. If you set up triplines then they aren't able to rush your position. It leaves you with a reusable trap and if they leap over it, just arrange for the next level of tripline.
first about 6in to a foot off the ground, next about 5 feet back about 5-6 ft off the ground. IMO gives you more options for disposal. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

one thing supposed you go in to you hole and you end up with a horde all around you what your hole going to do then because even if your luckly and some how fight all of the off you will have to get rid of the bodies to stop more zom coming and so that they dont use the bodies to clim out 1  out of 1 found this valuable.

But what if a survivor comes and sets it off? Bye bye extra help, bye bye extra supplies....

If I were you I would have signs around it, but yeah, it's a good idea.

Have you considered having it swings down instead and smash into their sides? It could be attached to a chain, sure, this won't kill them, and will only break most of their ribs, but it means it can be reset much fater, and if the zombie has their ribs broken, then it won't be able to do a lot of damage will it?

Hope it helps. Do you find this valuable?

Bye bye extra supplies? Can't I just take them all off his corpse now that he's been decapitated by a falling anvil? Do you find this valuable?
