Hellobee Boards

What? Eww. Why Wal-Mart? My husband would probably order me to stay home and board up the windows.

Ha Ha! I would go to Home Depot or Lowe's- dog friendly and they have pitch forks to attach zombies with!

Yeah, that Florida story was something else!

Probably stay home! We've got precautions! Bows., arrows, knifes (SOG etc). You know, the usual zombie killing gear.

@bluestriped bee: p,S. not silly at all. My husband takes the chance of something apocalyptic seriously! He practices his survival skills often....

Wal-Mart has food, guns, ammo, and shovels. So it makes more sense than Target or hardware store.

I'm not sure what my husband's zombie defense plan is here. In our old apartment, first item of business was destroying the front steps and filling the tubs with water. Here, we'd lower the security screen over the back door, but our front porch is pretty non defensible (there are brick stairs, the porch is about 4 feet off the ground, and we've got a huge glass-only front window.)

Haha. I love this thread. Hmm, could a Zombie apocalypse really happen?

@bluestriped bee: now along the lines of the walking dead guns don't make sense because of the noise.

DH is always talking about what happens if we are "under attack" and why won't I let him buy a gun?

We already have everything we'd need to protect ourselves at home (weapons, wood to board windows, canned foods, radios, batteries, water, etc.). You couldn't pay me a million dollars to go to a Wal-Mart if there were zombies around. That is where everyone would try to go to stock up on supplies. It would be zombie city!

The only place I would go is the gas station, to get as much gas as possible because once that runs out, no one is coming to re-stock the gas stations, and your car is useless without gas. Then we'd either bunker down at our house, or try to take the back roads to my in-laws who live on a huge plot of private land in West Texas. And they are even better stocked than we are in case of an emergency of that nature (ridiculous amount of weapons, ammo, food, etc.).

Can you tell this scenario has been discussed at length in my household?

@bluestriped bee: Yeah the people locked inside with you are WAY more dangerous than the zombies outside. Never forget that.

@ladyfingers: Ha brave! I'm hoping if an outbreak happens it is just DH, me, our dog, and the baby. Teaming up is the opposite of what I'd want to do. More people to fuck up and/or turn on me.

@ladyfingers: Ahh. DH is like a mountain man. I have no doubts he would be all the protection I would need. And I hope I could be of some help as well.

Oh we're prepared. My husband has instructed me not to talk about it though because he says it's to protect us and he doesn't want people knocking on our door when things get hairy.

@mrbee: zomBee.com is better!

@bluestriped bee: Running out of gas would definitely be our problem! The boat is equipped to purify sea water to be drinkable (doesn't taste great, but gets the salt out), so we wouldn't run out of water until we ran out of gas, haha. I'm not sure how much gas the purify water machine takes, but maybe if we just load up on lots of gas we could last a while!

@bluestriped bee: Love it! Now this idea is getting more and more complicated!

We have a zombie apocalpyse plan, too! We've talked about it a lot with our best friends, who live a few blocks away. Our plans change, though, depending on what kind of zombies show up. If we're talking George Romero zombies (Night of the Living Dead, Diary of the Dead, etc...) it's better to bug out into the country or the woods and stock up on ammo, since they are slow but persistent. If zombies like those in the Resident Evil movies or the ones in 28 days later, it's better to bunker down some where close and super fortified, since those zombies have superhuman speed and strength. If the zombies can die of hunger (like in 28 days later) it's better to wait it out, since they'll eventually starve themselves to death. With any other zombies, though, you have to kill as many as possible right away and start building a new way of life, since they don't die unless you kill them directly. It's all about knowing your enemy.
