"lolwut. "
I was at work when I posted that. IT guys work behind some pretty sturdy doors usually. And the funny thing is...in the event of a tornado, we would have to LEAVE this room and walk ACROSS an alley into another building. I am not leaving this room.

zombies at the door implies they are attempting to break in.

Good luck on the front door, steel gate in front of it, you'd either have to cut a hole in it, open it outwards, or remove it from the frame)

So I'll just assume they're going through the one window that they could stumble through.

since the mags for my .22 aren't loaded, i'd be going for the mossberg. throw in some hornady zombie max brand buckshot into the 7 round tube, and grab the 25 round shell belt incase i need more(that's loaded with birdshot)

Dispatch what i can, and hopefully find a way to seal off the window. I don't have any supplies to secure the house so its amatter of sitting and waiting.

I'd revert to the ruger when i have a break to load the mags, or get mom to load a few.
and bug the hell in.
if it gets so bad that they are IN the house, retreat to the bedrooms, where there's a hall. You CANNOT get into the windows for any of the bedrooms, or the bathroom. they are too high off the ground(my window is a good 6.5 feet off the ground, and i have the lowest window)

I can funnel them for as long as mags keep coming, or i can keep feeding shells. Only thing that would stop me is a malfunction.

Since the house I'm in tends to have all the interior doors open, I'll assume you mean both the front and back doors of said house.

1.Back door is a glass sliding door, no lock. Block that first. Thankfully, there's a table right nearby, or failing that, a large shelf.

2. Front door is a light wooden double door. Thankfully, the main dinner table (sits 12) is right in the next room, with a wide sliding door.

3.Take stock.
* It's a large, 3 floor house. First and second floors are a main corridor with side rooms, no way between side rooms but said corridor. 3rd floor is a big attic loaded with antiquities with only one point of entry.
*Heavily stocked with food.
*No real weapons to speak off. Might be able to improvise a few, but we'll still be strapped for weapons.
* Said we consists of 2 little kids, several teenagers (me included), 5 adults and two elderly. One adult is suffering from chronic heartburn (Not the elderly). None of us have combat/self defense training or experience to speak of.
*Plenty of cellphones, laptops, Ipads, a Wii, etc. If we die, we won't die bored or uninformed.
*Plenty of transport for all involved-just outside, where the zed happen to be. No built in garage.
*Speaking of outside, we're in Luling, outside of Houston. It's a small town, so not that many zed. Hopefully.
*We're in hurricane season in Texas, so plans are in place to evac major cities on a few hours notice. That means more orderly roads if we do try to bug out.
*Texas has the biggest National Guard in the USA, and also the most heavily armed. Using them for stopping what's essentially a human wave attack from major cities would be massively overkill even without US naval support.

4. Fort up and await developments.

bebebebebe- LULING is nowhere near HOUSTON. It's 100+ miles away, near LOCKHART. Get your geography straight, dude. also, luling has a big population. I suggest you high tail it to Martindale, only 10 miles or so out of Luling with a 3-digit population.


Well, I'm ******. I'm on a college campus in a lecture hall, but my backpack /is/ my bug out bag. I guess I'll just- . there's only one door. Ceiling panels look movable. I'm going to have to get in the rafters and crawl to another point in the first floor without falling through. (done it before in another building of the school) Now I'm likely somewhere by one of the outside doors by the corridor. I have to drop down while avoiding injury, and stumble into the parking lot where my car is, machete under the driver's seat. I'm in the middle of suburbia, but there's a forest around the school. I just need to take my car a few hundred yards to the treeline, park it (my trunk is full of water and ramen and stuff. college food) and take my backpack and machete to the giant live oak cluster in the middle of the forest, where I shall climb the really big natural formation and set up shop. There I will assess the situation.

Wow, then. I must have my geography REALLY wrong, because I'm looking out the windows and the only other signs of civilization is a road, a few sheds and maybe another house or two, I can't tell. The rest is forest.

So, ass-end of nowhere, in Texas, with emergency operators already primed over hurricane season and a National Guard who's armed with pretty much every toy the US army has. I think I'm still going to sit.

What is with everyone having to take time to load magazines...time better spent doing more important sh!t I'd say.

Anyway, I just got home from work, 1st thing I would do is walk into the bedroom and wake up my wife, and tell her to get herself and our son ready to travel, grab my Sig out of my dresser drawer, I always keep one in the chamber but I would check just to be sure and 1 extra mag and my EDC Klarus XT1C, re enter hallway and clear the house room by room, locking everything down as I go and dropping any Zed's that have made it inside even though my dogs should have done all that work already, make my way to the garage. Call or radio team lead and family to let them know TEOTWAWKI is nigh and to get there sh!t together, it is 1am here now, I would set a rendezvous time for 0300 at our initial meet up spot

Once in the garage, tac up, i'm currently wearing cargo shorts so if time permits I will throw on my Condor cargo pants, my TruSpec shirt, boots, battle belt, drop legs, vest, shemaugh and ball cap.

Open both safes, lock and load the SCAR and LMT, load remaining firearms into my weapons bags along with all PRE LOADED magazines, put weapons bags, my EDC pack and BOB's by the garage door

The wife should be done prepping herself and our son for travel, I would then have her help me move all remaining gear to the garage door ie MRE's Mainstays, emergency water, action packer full of dry/canned goods and ammo cans, fuel, water etc

I would slip out the back door with the Corso's, the Husky and Boston would stay with the wife and sweep the perimeter of my house, once the perimeter is secure, give the wife the okay to open the garage, load both vehicles to the gunwales, set my wife, son, Achilles, Ghost and Loki on there way to our initial rendezvous point with my team. I will take Bakari in the Jetta with, my EDC pack, BOB and his harness and head to my ex's house to relieve her of custody of my daughters and head to the rendezvous point, convoy to BOL, set camp, establish overwatch, perimeter and watch duties, inventory supplies, put a recon group in the field to scavenge replacement supplies for anything left behind, dig in.

1) Get my butt off the couch
2) I'm small enough to slide past our front door, grab younger brother, Mom and the phone to warn Dad.
3) Throw together two bags for my unprepared family
4) Put on my SHTF stuff
5) Grab bikes and sit brother on handlebars
6) Head for Isabella County, Michigan

I would grab all of my supplies then run next door to my grandparent's house.
Next,grab all of their supplies,and take up fortification under their house.Then,(if phones are still operational)call the cops and say I'm getting attacked.Then, cops will get there,and once they find out it's zombies,they
will fortify their position and call in backup.

First of all, I'd grab whatever weapon I could find. After incapacitating the door zombies, I'd sprint like crazy to my neighbor. We're on friendly terms and he has a lot of hunting/camping gear. He also has a four wheel drive pickup. My own little car wouldn't last long on Z Day.

I would tell him to drive to a certain location I know of in the mountains.

"First things first, lock the door. Next make a cup of tea and laugh as the zombies try to get through."
Eventually they will get through. And some will certainly manage to break a window and crawl in that way. Not a nice way to die...having a dozen zombies ripping you to pieces while you're drinking tea.

Just created an account to answer this thread because I remembered me sitting bored in class while thinking about what would happen if annoying little kids from neighbour class try to break down the door and eat me.
But currently It's 1 am and I'm not in class but at home in the biggest room in the 2. floor (thats my room) in front of my laptop listening to loud music. But since I'm sensitive to vibrations in the house I lived in for about 11 years I would notice the thread of my mum, my dad and my little brother breaking down the door. But since I trust the door and the big, heavy closet next to it in case of cases I would have a plenty of time to prepear. For example, cursing the fact that I'm German and have no access to any sort of handguns. And no designated melee weapons in my room. With this poor offensive abilities I would go for proper clothes(sneakers, improvised armor made of many thick clothes(I have a scissor and plenty of time, remember?)). Then I would go for the side board(heavy), open the door and try to push back the 3 Zed's in front of my door. (That's right, I'm not longer referring to them as my blood relatives, I'm referring to them as enemies and obstacles for my survival. I would think, if I would think of anything when killing them, that I'd help them. Ask yourself: would you prefer to be dead and walking around killing randomly or to be dead laying around?) The stairs down are right next to my door so I would rush down carefully(Because breaking your legs after 3 metres just sucks.) and go for the machete in the utility room. Then I would head back into the kitchen where the staircase ends and wait for them to come down, killing them of one by one by struggeling them on the ground and go for arms, knees and the neck. If thats done, I would barricade my house (after getting rid of the bodies, because the kittchen is not the right place for meat that didn't grunted, crowed or mooed befor

e beeing killed.). Then I would double check the barricades, sectioning my house into more or less important areas, putting the most important things in my room. I would put the keys right beside the doors they belong to to maintain this sectioning in case of a breakthrough. Since I'm living in a row house, I would go, utilizing the rooftop as sidewalk, for my next-door-neighbours, killing them if infected and looting their house AFTER barricading and securing it. My neighbour was/is soldier in afghanistan so I hope I would find useful military equipment(not hoping for handguns, though) he may possess. Then I would go to bed since I am already very tired right now. Next day I would prepare for a blackout by eating freezed stuff, milk and other things like this first. Remember: If you save the potatoe chips, you have a good motivation to continue your fight for survival. I would keep this in mind and categorize my food following those simple rules. Later I'll have to put more effort into finding something to eat than now. The last step I'll describe you, the probably most important step is to make a list of things I have and prepare myself for different scenarios, like what I would do if I get ill or what if creatures worse than zombies knocking on my door(Yes, the most dangerous enemy, the human) and to categorize the infected population. There are different images of zombies and if you want to fight them, you have to know them.

I honestly don't now what follows after this last step. There are too many possibilities what could happen. Maybe I'm already dead because this stair stunt didn't end well or zombies breached my door before I could barricade it, furthermore I'm tired and want to go to bed.)
In the end, I want to state a general advice
"It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle."

- Sun Tzu

Remember: In a zombie apocalypse you can't affort to loose even one time.
