The Zombie Apocalypse and You

[HillsideDesolate]

What I would be concerned about would be another pandemic like Covid, where due to social distancing, crimes are not prosecuted, and authorities lose control of our cities, which then spreads to surrounding areas

Already happening.

Id recruit a Psycologist first. to recognate those bad apples. Keep in mind, narcissists are masters at getting people to like them

True, but there are all sorts of membership groups, car clubs, the Masons, etc. so if everyone was so worried about that then you could never have a club a church or any group coming together for common purpose. There are ways to run background checks and nobody is talking about letting them babysit the kids. Anyway, it was just an idea; doubt it will ever come to fruition unless someone starts sending PM's. But then again, maybe the guy with the land could be a nut LOL. Reminds me of that old Ice-T movie about him being hired as a "hunting guide" by some psychopaths.

If you recruit a psychologist first, you are gonna end up with a bad apple running the whole show.

Now that I think about it, maybe I already survived a zombie apocalypse?View attachment 341744View attachment 341745

No it is still ongoing and the worst is yet to come. Wait until the liberals can not keep feeding and giving them drugs. They spread out more all over the country and the liberals will demand we support them.

As much as the dead rising to eat the living is a pretty farfetched idea, what a reference to the Zombie Apocolypse is, is a more lighthearted way to describe the unthinkble, a total collapse of society

However, if you've played the game or are watching the the HBO show "The Last of US", you know that there are more thoeretical ways that a "zombie" outbreak could start.

That being said, I am not preparing for the legions of risen dead or fungi infected humans, it' s just a fun thought experiment. What I would be concerned about would be another pandemic like Covid, where due to social distancing, crimes are not prosecuted, and authorities lose control of our cities, which then spreads to surrounding areas

Read the Jakarta Pandemic.

Was pretty scary reading it again at the beginning of Covid.

To be honest if I can get beyond the first few of hoards looking for food, I'll be okay.

I have been preparing my whole life I suppose tho I expect nothing to really happen in my lifetime. But I have prepared for my family. They will have a place to ‘retreat’ that is fairly sustainable and fairly remote as can be from large populous cities yet still close enough to enjoy now. Beides hunting potential I have small livestock that will survive and procreate. Tho’ stocked my fear is long term ammo needed to protect

I started building my own little machine shop so I could make or fix anything. Stockpiling lead, brass, steel, and learning to turn it into the stuff I want or need. I could get by without my meds for a while. Back is bad enough that I might not be all the much use without someone young and healthy to do stuff the back won't allow without meds and constant doctor visits for pain relief procedures. SWMBO is in far worse shape than I am, so I expect we will both die in place. I'm sure she'd not be that much threat as a zombie, except that they seem to be nearly immune to pain. Black Tide Rising is a very very good series! Read most of them multiple times.

Cannibalism is always an option..........just sayin

Friend of mine many years back used to say "Humans are no **** good, but parts of them are edible."

 

[BillM]

Doesn’t mean he’ll just give it to you. You may need to use some of the gifts he’s provided you

All things come to he who waiteth. As long as he who waiteth worketh like mad while he waiteth. God helps those who help themselves.

Liberalcanabilism?

I'm just gonna say it. Eating liberals is not cannibalism. It would definitely be disgusting,...
