Barricading Supplies/Weapons

Okay, so I've been thinking about improvised weapons, which lead me to think about improvised barricades. My home is /not/ the ideal fortress, but if I got some pots and pans, my antique .410 single barrel (inherited), shovel, knives, nightstick/baton, and hatchet for weapons, I could cover barricading most of the house with duct tape, cabinet doors, drawers, furniture, and whatever else to improvise barricades.I could even tear legs off chairs and sharpening them, sticking sharpened sticks, etc. in places as simple traps, maybe even weakening the floor in places as a traps. Drill/stab small holes in doors to look through and to stab long, pointed things through at any oncoming zombies. I would have to cardboard and styrofoam up the windows to conceal any light or shadows. I would of course use the phone and computer to contact anyone I could, particularly family, and I would probably only bug in until the panic was over. Soon I'm getting a better gun, so that will be a great help to the plan. So, let's disscuss bug-in plans, weapons we have at home that we would defend a barricade with, and improvised barricade materials, shall we? EDIT: I forgot to mention grabbing all my canned goods. Do you find this valuable?

If your home is two stories I would move everything possible to the 2nd floor and destroy the stairs. I wouldn't be killing anything as if the Z's wind up stacking up under the destroyed stairs they could begin climbing up to you. You need a better firearm. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

I have a few idea's I just need time to draw up some sketches get pictures and links so that they are easier to understand :) watch this space.first of all, mattresses. a thick extra comfy spring mattress with absorb ALOT of blunt damage and as long as when it is fastened it is not too taut, it will be a pain to cut through. (with manual tools, power tools are a different matter all together) 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |
