Got a wound that’s getting infected? The Book.
Need to grow food when supplies run out? The Book.
Want clean water, basic tools, or how to make shelter that lasts? The Book.
The book! the only survival weapon you’ll ever need.
Carver is similar to Negan from TWD show. He is an ultra authoritarian leader who enforces strict rules in his community. He will physically punish you and might even kill you for breaking rules.
However, he is not inherently sadistic (or so I believe). He will not attack you or anything just because, only if you mess up at your job or do something to harm others.
Basically, would you live in a safe, defended, and stocked community but with a super authoritarian leader
I'd say an AR-15 would be the best choice of firearm, with a 9mm semi-automatic pistol as a sidearm. The worst would be a 50BMG machine gun and full auto SMG.
Anytime that I talk or have listened to conversations or read conversations about the apocalypse, I see very little information about where heavy machinery falls in. And that doesn’t necessarily mean something like giant dump trucks, excavators, and humongous bulldozers even things as simple as skid steers, forklifts, logging machinery, and those previously mentioned are rarely touched on when facing transportation within an apocalypse scenario. Most people come up with the logical thinking of” well what about fuel and maintenance?” which can be valid for a lot of average people. However, I’m assuming most people will have a small group, typically 4 to 5 people at most unless you’re intending to build practically a small militia, and possibly adding some variety in your team skills could be very useful. Developing your personal skills would also be useful for example having someone who knows their way around a diesel engine and having the ability to weld or even understand basic fabrication on vehicles could be very useful. With the amount of vehicles that would most likely be abandoned, there would be a lot of spare steel parts, batteries and fuel still in these tanks that would be useful thus turning something like a skid steer into a small tank would not be a hard task with the right knowledge and a couple of people. I’m just curious if anyone else has this line of thinking because it seems like I’m always the one who brings it up in apocalypse or STHF conversations.
its light, portable and small enough to do almost anything, not to mention you can just take the glock out.
You are in a zombie apocalypse where the zombies are extremely hard to kill and are currently in a location where you are impossible to isolate. The zombie infection is extremely deadly will kill you in your sleep.
You are part of a small group. Unfortunately, you were bit, but you have no idea whether a zombie bite truly spreads the infection or if it even speeds it up.
Would you be honest to your group, risking being kicked out and being wrong about the bite killing you, or would you rather hide the fact that your bitten and risk the survival of your group
I looked into plans such as the line of succession and the designated survivor protocol.:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designated_survivor
>In the United States, a designated survivor (or designated successor) is a person in the presidential line of succession who is kept distant from others in the line when they are gathered together, to reduce the chance that everyone in the line will be unable to take over the presidency in a catastrophic or mass-casualty event. The person is chosen to stay at an undisclosed secure location, away from events such as State of the Union addresses and presidential inaugurations. The designation of a survivor is intended to prevent the decapitation of the government and to safeguard continuity in the presidency if the president, the vice president, and others in the presidential line of succession die.
Even if the designated survivor dies, the government could still function by appointing successors from outside the Cabinet.
On paper, the system looks resilient, but it might be different in practice.
Would this be enough to ensure that the U.S. government survives in some form during most zombie apocalypses?
Would you say they’re useful in any situation or only in certain situations and which one do you see the most reliable.

And yes you can set them to semi-auto if you want.
How long could each of the 3 hold up against a single zombie?
The door is made of wood, and the boarded up window has two planks on both sides.
The zombie is stupid, weak, and slow.
Recently, I've gotten obsessed with the idea of modern lever actions and bringing the old school into the modern age.
And when I think about zombies I think about slow moving dawn of the dead type where the rednecks are having fun with the national guard hunting and killing zombies and having coffee delivered.
Realistically, thats the type of Zombie that would actually be around if the ZA happened.
So why not have fun with the loadout?
My idea would obviously be a good lever action modernized with an optic, weapon light and a few quivers for ease of access of loading more rounds. As well as revolver chambered in the same cartridge with speed loaders.
But besides a plate carrier and a stetson. What else would you add to a tactical cowboy loadout?
It's considered the coldest city on Earth. Even if the cold doesn't destroy the zombies, I figure it would freeze them in place, preventing a horde from forming.
Zombies are dead. I’m not talking about parasites or fungi zombies I’m talking the dead arnt dying and want to kill zombies. Would zombies even work? Would I just be able to sit in side and wait for their bodies to rot away? Would they even be able to break down a door or glass with their rotting muscle and tissue? I would love to be able to fight a zombie but realistically I don’t know if a zombies body would even be capable.
Zombie media popularly depicts going north where temperatures are colder as a good idea.
The north has many advantages like:
* The chance that zombies are truly slowed down with the cold
* More fresh water
* the chance for more skilled survivors
* less pests
However, in my opinion zombie shows never truly depict how life in a northern environment would be. You have to consider:
* How to get north. Depending where you live going north could either be easy or outright impossible.
* Some people just aren’t built to handle the cold. Going north seems like a good idea until you realize you’re constantly suffering and shivering
* food scarcity could be a problem too. If you’re going north you likely want to live in the wilderness, and depending how skilled you are this could either work or be a death sentence. Also, I saw another post that mentioned how more people would be forced to hunt, which could in turn cause food scarcity.
* A higher chance of more skilled survivors could also be a con. Higher skilled survivors could be dangerous, especially if the area you’re in is already being affected by other geographical problems like resource scarcity.
What’s your guys take on this? Living north is really dependent on your skills, but overall it seems like a bad idea.
"Dawn of the Dead" from 1978 is one of my favorite movies. (I also love the 2004 remake.) But in the case of a zombie apocalypse, how viable would a mall really be?
Answers could vary wildly. "Dawn of the Dead" is set in America, and in America alone you see strip malls; large regional shopping centers like the Monroeville Mall featured in the film; and massive superstructures like The Mall of America.
How would "Dawn of the Dead" play out in reality, in your opinion?
I hear a lot of people on this sub shit on katana's like they're the worst thing ever. And I think swords in general are a bad option because they're not really designed to slash through hard bone. But what's so bad about katana's in particular.
What would actually be the optimal arrowhead against zombies?
Bodkin for skull penetration?
Broadhead for maximum damage?
Blunt tip for pure impact trauma?
Or a fire arrow, because style points still matter at the end of the world?
And the follow-up question: what draw weight would you use for each arrowhead type?
I need your most serious unserious answers, wild theories, and totally over-engineered zombie survival builds.
Bonus question what traditionelle bow would you favor?
