Suvival Plan
Feb 10 2011, 1:00 PM EST
Me and my hubby have talked about it mostly as what would happen if the economy crashed and all hell broke out, but with a few mods we came up with this zed survival plan. We would be Bugin people. I live on a four acre plot of land where I have a hand full of goats and chickens plus a few alpaca. I like gardening and we grow a fair share of our own fruits and vegetables. Hubby and I share the same interests of always being fascinated with how our ancestors got by without all the 'conveniences' we have now and have picked things up here and there. So a basic over view of what we would do in an out break is as follows.1. One calls up the family/close friends and alerts them (a.k.a. call tree). For those who want too, have them head to our house. The other jumps on the ATV and rounds up the livestock and shuts them up in the barn. 2. Board up the weak spots in the house and reinforce the door. 3. Once a few people show up, check them for contamination. Kick out anyone who is infected. Yeah I know it sounds cruel, but unless you want to up the chance of an outbreak in the compound it has to be done. 4. Have a few people stay behind to hold down the compound and keep it out of raiders hands while the rest of us grab guns and ammo. 5. Head to town in the truck with the horse trailer for extra storage to make our rounds (Our town is very small. Pop. is a little more than 1k). 6. Main places we would hit are the grocery store, construction store, gun store, electronic store, plumbers store and what the locals call the seed shack. Note: Some food can be used as trade for guns and ammo if needed. It's a win-win without someone getting shot. 7. Head back to the house and unload. 8. Repeat steps when needed. In the end its good to have a basic, flexible plan because lots of things can happen that throws a too detailed plan out the window. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Eventually and as often as possibly safe to do so, build a brick, with cement mortar, wall around our land to keep out zeds and raiders, but to also keep the livestock and growing food safe from contamination. Between just hubby and me, we have a pretty wide skill pool to pull from. Add to that what our other family members bring in and I think we are pretty well off in that regard. Sharing skills and knowledge would be a must. You don't want to put all your eggs in one basket. Unexpected stuff happens. The following is something I have rarely seen others state, let alone discuss. What is the nature of the zed outbreak? Now if it is a biological virus or such you need to figure out a few things. A few examples of such questions are; - How is the pathogen transmitted? (Through bodily fluids, air, etc) - What does the pathogen affect? (Just people, animals, plants, water, etc) - Where do one shot kills occur? (only in the head or does a shot to another vital organ such as the heart or lungs kill them) In my opinion this is something you would want to figure out pretty soon because you wouldn't want to ingest something that could be contaminated. An example is water. You would want to purify it anyways but would it kill off the zed pathogen? Cause lets face it, there could be a zed face down in the water farther up stream than you can see. Also here are some things you might want to pick up if available and if bugin is something you're doing. - Solar panels - Generators (or learn how to make one from a lawn mower) - crops seeds - raw materials (metal sheeting, lumber, nails, tools, etc.) I'll part with this. If you're not going to work or cause needless problems, GTFO. I saw another person post this and agree wholeheartedly. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Why kick out infected? I might either restrain til they reanimate and kill them or kill them outright

Okay well we came to that conclusion by two sources. Common sense and things we've picked up from movies and videos. In just about all the zed movies i have seen where people retrain a zed in some way (cage, chain, straps, etc) they ALWAYS get loose or some dumb ass gets too close and is infected in one way or another. This would eliminate that. Now for the common sense part coming in. Would you honestly feel safe if you had a zed in your compound no matter how locked up? I sure the hell wouldn't and it could put people on edge and tense. Thus, more likely to do something rash or stupid. Why not shot them out right? They are most likely going to be someones family or friends in such a small community (everyone knows everyone pretty much through one person here) and killing them off before the infection take over fully can cause an internal riot. People are more likely to be more compliant when they think the infected friend/family might have a chance if releases. You have to think of the psychological mind set people will most likely be in and basic human nature into account when dealing with things. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Okay just pointing out instances that have happened in zed movies off the top of my head.28 days later: Black former solider was chained up by his buds once bitten so that they could see how long they can go without food. Black dude was released by another person so it would kill the other soliders. 28 weeks later- An infected woman is captured and strapped down in a lockdown quarentine type room. Her husban finds out and goes in to talk with her. He gets to close and ends up bitten. Turns zed and infects so many that the once safe compound falls apart. Resident Evil - Dumb ass scientest reopen the complex after it was sealed up and thus releasing the contamination. Resident Evil 2 - When the Stars members take up in the church they find that the priest was holding his wife restrained with barbwire in a chair and feeding her. The husband got to close and was bit. Dawn of the Dead (remake) - The black guy restrains his preg. wife to a bed. She gives birth to a zed baby and a refugee walked in and they shot each other. There are lots more examples. Like I said this is just off the top of my head. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

In a big city I could see how shoting a person at first signs of infection would be a good idea. It's more likely you or those with you are not going to know the person and would likely have less of a chance of revolt. It's much easier to not care about another when you dont know them. Thanks though for the question :) Hubby and I have been working on compiling info that would be useful for survival and putting it into practice where we can and making a few hardcopies (paper) of it. Never know when it can come in handy.
