There all kind of things that can happen that can quickly change things to a point that can set you back to a living as you great-great-great grandparents did. Our modern world is very complicated and interdependent and it don't take a lot to stop-up the plumbing.

The whole zombie apocalypse started as a joke - the idea was to be prepared for whatever happened, no matter how bizarre or seemingly unlikely.

My son (age 29) and I use that euphemism to describe my preparations for when the SHTF. Except I think he halfway *really* thinks the Zombies are coming, lol.

One of the nice things about living a rural life is the fact that we’re already free of all that urban “help”.

I am hoping for traditional zombies and not the newer “rage” zombies. The traditional ones are slower and easily killed with a cricket or baseball bat or some other club.

Did you notice that they never mentioned a gun for protection? What would be the best gun for protection from the zombies?

I use the term “zombie apocalyps” to describe what happens when Obama loses the 2012 election and his brainless supporters take to the streets to “take back the country Obama game them.”

Boom! Headshot!

[LRS]

Whatever.

Just don’t make me sit through “Dead Girl” again...

Apparently the CDC is run by zombies...how juvenile of them.

On a serious note for those who maybe just starting to ‘prep’ might like to take a look at my Preparedness Manual which thanks to Freeper eaker is available for free download at:

USA Today says that the world is coming to an end on the 21st. This is a full page ad from some kooks out in CA. Makes me not want to go to the grocery store any time soon....don’t want to waste my time and money.

[RC one]

actually, I’m better prepared for a zombie apocalypse than I am for a tornado. and I live in tornado country.

[MuttTheHoople]

I’m more worried bout Steel Robots.

The only zombies that we need to be wary of are the CDC 'researchers' who call guns, wife beating, McDonalds and so on "health hazard" .

This is symptomatic of a government that wants to control your life and refuses to believe that the US Consitution actually means what it says with respect to the Second Amendment, that wife-beathing and spousal abuse is a criminal problem with a potential health related outcome, and that McDonalds and other junk food purveyors are forcing this food on the people they are really worried about - minorities.

As for actual diseases their track record with Swine Flu SUCKS! The volatile cocktail they concocted in the 70s caused more harm than any distinguishable good that has been documented. They are worthless.

On the prepper question regarding food:

pellet/bb gun
squirrels
a second shot each from close range once they drop, just in case,
and enough practice that you can hit a non-moving squirrel in the pick your target (head, neck, chest) at 10-20 yards (and are therefore more than good enough for zombies)

With an air gun, serving-sized fresh meat is readily available and almost unlimited. Store grain, vitamins, and a means to cook, and you’re not quite set but at least well on your way.

Belt fed is the only way to be sure you’re good for a zombie apocolypse.
