Zombies At the Door...
Mar 2 2012, 4:28 PM EST
...this is one of the favorite games my friend and I play from time to time.Wherever you are (we usually start the game by a text), explain how you would get from where you currently are to wherever you would like to be (your "Bug-In" location, or location of your "Bug-Out" equipment). The catch is, you have to assume that there are already zeds tearing down the closest door to whetever room you are currently within. Some considerations: Do you have something to put down the zombies enclosing on you? Can you evade them in your current location? How will you get to where you need to go? [Personally, I think that's as far as is needed to explain - let's just think short-term for this thread, please] I think this is a relatively fun experiment, but has some practical application as well. We each consider our "zombie plan", but this gives the opportunity to consider how you're going to get from where you are, (or at least where you are with your computer), to where you want to be. For those who access their computer within their home, be imaginative! :D So...Zombies at the door, go! 10 out of 11 found this valuable. Do you? |

I guess I'll go first. Right now I'm in a 700 sq. ft. apartment. I would obviously start out by loading all my rounds into my magazines for my primary and secondary weapons, Put on my SHTF clothing and boots, and grab my BOB and ammo bag to get ready.I would cautiously check my balcony as a second possibly exit. Then I would check my main front door to see if it were blockaded by any of them. If not, I would slowly step out and check the hallways. If clear, I would make my way downstairs to my vehicle which is about 50 feet away. Unfortanately I would have my hands full carrying my rifle, my BOB on my shoulders, and my ammo bag. If needed, I would drop my ammo bag to take aim and dispatch any zombies in my path. Making it to my vehicle, I would leave to my friends house which is 1.5 miles away. I would avoid running over any zombies to minimize damage to my vehicle. We would then barricade his house and set up security measures. 4 out of 4 found this valuable. Do you? |

LOL i would be alright if zombies came right now but it isn't a good time for this senario because it would not be fun at all. I am in the room where the majority of my weapons and guy stuff is stored. My bug out bag is a good six feet away and I was just cleaning my favoriet rifle and returning it to the case the ammo for it is in a drawer below it. Considering the comic timing for this lets rewind a bit and say i am where i was a half an hour ago grabbing a burger at Apachie burger. Hits the universal rewind button.

The zombies are attacking Apachie burger 15 mins from my house! and like an idiot i have nothing ready. so here is what i do.1) I flip up the wooden picnic table to block their path and run to my car hitting the clicker button to start it, jumping in i drive off after flooring it. Cursing the zombies for ruining my dinner they have such good burgers 2) I drive back to my place seeing that there are zombies all arround. I pull behind my neighbours garage and climb up grabbing my tire iron and the contents of my glovebox. 3) I jump from his garage to my back yard when the coast is clear and run like hell to the back door.This house used to be a duplex the basement is still isolated by steel doors from the rest of the building. 4) i fumble for my keys because my hands are still all burgery i didnt bother to wipe them and it had the works on it. I open the back door and walk through the little hall until i reach the second locked door this leads to the mancave. I shut all the doors behind me locking them. 5) In enter the man cave and gather my weapons and place them in duffle bags. 6) mace in hand i walk through the bowls of my house to the furnace room. It is connected to and pile my gear in the old coal shoot. Connecting the dangleing rope to it. ususally the rope is used to bring stuff up like the old hotwater heater lol. 7) bugout bag on back rifle slung and mace in hand I make a break for my garage. I fuel up the battle wagon and drive the battle wagon to the coal shoot door.The shoots doors should brace nicely against the van. I drive it close open the door and pull for my life pulling my gear up with me rapidly chucking it in the back. 8) close the door drive the heck out of there. I am assuming everyones dead because they are upstairs. The house i assumed by the wording of the post was over run. I prefer senario one to the rewind because I get to keep my dog. 7 out of 7 found this valuable. Do you? |

Current Location: My new apartment. It's a single level 1 bedroom in the back of a hillside duplex. The zeds would likely be attracted to my open front door with my music playing. The screen door should buy me enough time to jump up from the computer and slam the door in their faces. Then I'd lock the hallway door and bedroom door, which should give me enough time to bust the bug out gear out of the closet in the bedroom and book it out the back door. No shooting if I don't need to. I'd cut through either neighbor's back yard to get down to the street where my garage is. In the garage are more supplies and the UEV. I'd close the garage door while I loaded the UEV, and then time to go. Hopefully the girlfriend has the 2-way radio I gave her and remembers to turn it on so I can let her know I'm coming to pick her up at work. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

I was just at school, so I start from there.1. Have someone swing open the door while a couple of us push the computer cart at the zombies to push the zombies away from the doors. 2. Run out the back doors 6 feet from my class room. 3. Run to the Jeep, get in and drive home. 4. When home, run in and load Maverick 12 gauge, and 1911 then clip 1911 to belt and stick 2 extra mags. in back left pocket. 5. Go out and get boards from shed, and board up house. 6. Set up plywood wall (plywood, with 2X4 braces), to make a path from the back door to the shed. 7. Check out the news and Internet, while I load up all of my mags. Before their asked: Yes my class room tonight is only 6 feet from the back door of the school. If I have a problem on the way I have my get home bag and a 32 inch crow bar in the jeep. I won't run out of gas, I never let my vehicles go under a 1/2 tank, and that will make 8 trips from my home to school.. The ply wood walls won't stand up to much, but they will allow me some cover when I need to haul in 1 of my 3 50 gallon water barrels, cases of freeze dried meals, or tools. I am bugging in at least for a while, I live in a very small rural town of 350 people. I have said guns and many more. 3 out of 4 found this valuable. Do you? |

Well... I'm in the bathroom. On the crapper. It doesn't get any more epic. First I'd finish- screw the zombies this is important business. I have two doors in my bathroom but one is near my front door, so we'll assume that's the door they're approaching...1. Pull up pants 2. Wash hands 3. Grab j frame out of drawer but try not to shoot and deafen myself. 4. Grab camping pack (bob), extra ammo, other more preferable guns, go down fire escape. OR 1. Don't pull up pants 2. Turn off light 3. Stay quiet 4. Zombies walk away :) 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

1. Use peep hole on door to check how many are outside my door.2. If less than 4, use handy melee weapon to dispatch them quickly. If more than 4 push something heavy like the fridge in front of the door. 3. If all are disposed of then listen for more and then go back inside and secure door. 4. Open up balcony doors and evaluate outside situation. 5. If SHTF Bug In until daylight. (Night time right now) If looks clear, and quiet, fill extra packs with all available canned food and water. Collect weapons and add to pile with BOB. If it is bad, fill anything that will hold water up from the tap. Barricade enterance with everything in apt that is not going with me. Wait out initial panic. Ignore zombies at the door. There is enough stuff on it to keep even the most determined horde out for some time. 6. Check outside situation again. If clear use door to exit the building, if not, use paracord on BOB to lower filled packs and BOB to the ground outside. 7. Climb down off Balcony, scoop up packs etc and make bee line for car. 8. Load up car and make for my initial BOL with whatever gas is in the tank. 9. Pray for clear roads! 10. Don't stop for Sh*t and avoid hitting the undead or panicky ppls if at all possible. 11. Arrive at initial BOL and congratulate self and wife that we are still alive. 12. Await others to arrive and evaluate situation further before proceeding. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

I am in bed, It's pretty easy for me to push my bed across my door, which opens in, so that blocks it. It's not s sturdy door though, so I'm not out of the woods yet. First thing I call my dad's cell so he can shut his door too, then while he is loading up the guns I will call the cops and let them know there are several violent invaders in my home trying to attack me. I will stay on the line with the operator while I load my crossbow, then get dressed. At this point the door is probably ready to give so I will get my tomahawk and ka-bar ready to go. First zombie that shows it's face gets a crossbow bolt in it, then I hold them off with melee until my dad comes up behind them and starts shooting them. Once we are sure they're all down we start barricading windows and doors, except the front door, in case we need to bug out and we bug in and wait for the police to show up. Maybe they never do, but we're prepared to wait a long time.

Hahaha... well considering the situation I'm in as I read this... 1) hit Zombies with bar mace 2) Continue step one until death. I'm in a pair of shorts. I'm home by myself with my 2 year old daughter who is in jammies, and it's 20 degrees outside. I'm essentially bed ridden (battling sepsis) and only really am leaving my room to slowly walk/crawl to the bathroom about 10 feet away. I'm on the third floor... pretty well screwed. Let them come back in a couple weeks, and we'll see how it works out for 'em though....lol 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

"...this is one of the favorite games my friend and I play from time to time.At the office, I can use my stapler or date stamper to fend off the undead hordes, and my trusty pocket knife. I would have to sprint like hell in the parking lot to get to the vehicle, but that is ok I am an Olympic athlete in the lot anyways. Once I got to the vehicle I would then be able to head home. I have about 5 routes to get there, so that is a plus. Of course this is after I get the new cover sheet on my TPS reports and send them on up to higher. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

First I'd probably barricade the door quickly, run upstairs and load my shotgun, after dispatching the "home intruders" who are an immediate threat I'd secure the house further and start packing.
