TK's primary survival plan
Dec 1 2010, 5:00 PM EST | Post edited: Dec 1 2010, 5:40 PM EST
Now, before I get to my plan, let me tell you a bit about my self. I'm in my mid-teens, live near the Colorado-Wyoming border, have enough guns to scare the crap out of most sane(whatever that means, right?) people.

here is the stats on my family, * means how good they are at something, max being 5.

Dad:
firearms:****(good, but not great. struggles with shotgun)
computer skills:*****
medicine:***(basic)
melee:*****(really big guy)
charisma:*****(could be a cult leader if he wanted)
construction:*****(took a century old house and made it a place someone can actually live in and ounce built a fence around an acre lot)
car repairs::****(very skilled under the hood)

stepmom:
firearms:----(refuses to use them because relative was killed by one.)
computer skills:*(clueless beyond the very basics on a real computer)
medicine:*****(nurse)
melee:(apart from fighting down drunks in the hospital with several people's help, no combat experience)
charisma: **(no, not really her strong point)
construction:*(could hand you your wrench.)
car repairs:*(ditto)

sister:
firearms:**knows how to use one
computer skills:*
medicine:***
melee:*(would fail horribly)
charisma:**
construction:**(knows how to work a hand-held drill)
car repair:*

cont.

Me:
firearms:*****(one of the few things I'm excellent at)
computer skills:**(bad typer)
medicine:***(I know the basics of first aid, including the merit badge)
melee:****(My right arm is ridiculously overpowered for my age. ounce knocked out a guy at least 30 pounds heavier than me in one punch in a fair, mutually agreed upon fist fight)
charisma:**** (I guess I'm OK, though I have autism, which is not as serious as many tell you by the way. I also talk too loud when I'm trying to say something important, though I don't realize it(billy mays syndrome)

So my plan is that when I hear about the outbreak, I try to warn my family to not go to walmart, but instead go to my intended BOL, the new elementary school.
Parents will have taken the kids home, it is one of the most energy efficient buildinds in my state, uses the wind, sun, and rain to recharge it's massive battery(size of a house, I joke you not) which can apparently run for 3 months with everything turned on inside the school, has fences, cameras, automated fire control, and shatter-proof glass and brick all the way around.

the doors can take rifle rounds and only allow access to authorized personnel with a key(except the front one) and what's good about that is that teachers keep several spares throughout the building. It also has roof access from the inside, which was strong enough to hold all the teachers up while they gave a song and dance to us at the end of the year. so it's plenty strong and captures rainwater, filters it, then keeps it stored.

I plan to start up a faction, let people in with open arms and an open mind, then rebuild humanity for a brighter future than before z-day. Also, to stop spies, I'll be friendly but intimidating(show them my targets from pre-zday)

Sister (no offence) seems like a failure, I'd suggest teaching her something important.
Why do they need computer skills?
Your Dad seems like an Awesome guy.
I would assume construction would mean building something, but I guess restoring old houses fits in that subject.
Charisma really only seems useful for a leader, or to help raise morale.
Nurses should know quite a bit about medicine, so that's helpful.
Car Repairs, seems useful for getting to the BOL and maybe for raids to the supermarket.


Thank You.
Feel free to... do something with that information :-)

EDIT: didn't know that you made another post with the plan :P

how is it not a plan? also, I live within a mile of this school. just saying.

My sister is somewhat a failure. I've been trying to teach her how to stick fight, but it doesn't work.

computer skills for the school. to get in, keep it running, ect.

yes. that house was in total disrepair when he got it.

exactly. there is a small market somewhat close to this school. we could get supplies from there without worrying too much about the chaos that happens there.

Oh, I forgot the gear! I have a crap-load of guns, including an AR-15, semi-automatic 30-06, 30-30 winchester rifle, many others, and WAY too many .22s.

I also have my warhammer and melee weapons you would expect to find in a normal house, plus a few not so normal ones(3 foot flathead screwdriver, ftw!).

I guage my excellence in fire arms based on how many people are in awe after I shoot. That's a large number, let me tell you!

I've dropped some jaws when I was pistol shooting, as well as rifle and shotgun, but I still don't consider myself an expert, in any firearm. I think they consider it relative to age, they don't expect you to have the shooting skills of the average gun-owner when you're 15.

I suppose so, all I know is that they all nearly head-sploded after I shot the prairie dog at 200 yards. In the face.

That's called luck. Do it twice and it's coincidence. Do it consistently and it's skill.

I am also the scouge of airborne pop cans everywhere. If shooting 23 that my friend threw in a row is a coincidence, I'm a toad. That gives away mushrooms. And has a hat shaped like a mushroom. And lives in the mushroom kingdom.

Shooting guns is what I'm best at so far. Kind of wierd, because with a bow, I'm a complete failure. Not losing my arrow is an impressive shot for me.

TK:

Thnks for your answer, but that really does nothing to answer the question.

Just because someone is impressed, does not mean your good with firearms.
They might be very unskilled at shooting.

A sign, perhaps? I've made sure never to abuse this gift, nor lead a life of dishonor that would cause me to change that.

Yes, I know I'm the only human left on earth who cares about honor outside of red dead redemption.

What do you mean a sign?

And you are no where near being the last that cares about honor, and to think that you are shows a lack of honor

"What do you mean a sign?

I did not mean "last man who cares about honor" in a literal sense, rather I was pointing out how it's just not common for people to do good for the sake of doing good anymore. Throughout history, honor has remained a constant, and now suddenly people are becoming more self-centered and/or non-chivalrous than ever.

Yes, there are bright spots amongst the crowd, but then again there were kind-hearted Waffen SS.

Assuming that your friend was next to you, I've shot perfect scores (25) more than once when the clay thrower was next to me. And again, I still don't consider myself to be any better than the guy next to me.

If shooting cans your friend threw is no problem for you, then try trap shooting. I guarantee your score will lower, because the house is farther out, and throws clays whatever which way.

Honestly, I'd be giving you a 2 for the skill and gift of modesty considering what you've been saying on this thread.

hmm, perhaps. I am still a beginner though, only having fired rifles on 6 different occassions, pistols on 1, and shotguns on 2. Oh, and never been in the same room as any heavy weapon like a grenade, g-launcher, rocket launcher, machine gun, or military flamethrower.

So I only have experience with "normal" and makeshift weapons(youtubian flamethrower).

Looks like you looked at what skills the people close to you have, in a situation as what you have described, I would go away from populated area's, unless I had to go there.. If I have to go thru populated area's to get where I want to go, then I am going quick- and no sight seeing.
You have a few skills, some firearm knowledge, if things go bad then try and take your family away from the populated area's, fish and hunt , while you can. A Teepee for shelter, believe it or not- a large canvas Tee Pee that sleeps 8 people with a fire pit in the center is the ultimate survival shelter, next to SHTF underground shelter with BIO/ AIR.. with supplies, but in the wilderness- a Tee Pee made of canvas- is the best. Also Supplies 3 months worth is good. Unless u have a real shelter underground that you can stock. Most important also would be ammo and a lot of it. Bow and Arrow for hunting, or a silenced weapon- learn how to make them silenced. Then stock, store and train .. Good Hunting and stay in the shadows.
