“””I could get a 500lb tank of propane and run this thing forever. Of course the noise would attract the zombies.”””
I think people just need to do their own preparations and worry less about the movie scenes of a post-apocalyptic world, if the end of the world happens there will be plenty of time to adjust to it mentally and emotionally in terms of shooting and killing, tactics and armed patrols, booby traps, and improvised explosives, sniper rifles and all the other sexy stuff that a lot of us like so much (me included).
I think the primary mental image should be something like an extended national hurricane, mostly people trying to pull together with plenty of looters of the usual type in some areas as people flock to the shelters and camps, the kind of looter guys who get run off if you shoot at them as they look for valuables in empty houses and sparsely occupied neighborhoods.
If we ever get to where all of America’s ability to supply camps and shelters and the ability to start the rebuilding process ends then we on this thread will all be completely different people and will already have an entirely new set of answers and mental attitudes.
We don’t need to make that our starting point for keeping our families safe and comfortable.
There will be plenty of warning before the zombies who are literally starving start migrating, and life becomes a movie of kill or be killed.
I’m really glad to hear that, thanks for your explanation.
I get overwhelmed trying to prepare for the unknown as it is. Make it a little more complicated and I really get confused. Especially in trying to figure out what I should have on hand.
