10 doomsday preps that will get you killed
First things first: You need a firearm. The time for “common sense gun control” went out the window the second grandpa came back from the afterlife to make a sandwich out of your face. No matter what your political stance was before the uprising, you fucking love the Second Amendment now. You want the biggest, shiniest, loudest monstrosity possible. If there’s a gun that shoots a thousand bullets a second; that’s great. If there’s one that shoots a thousand flaming bullets a second; even better! If there’s a gun that shoots out other guns that all fire thousands of flaming bullets in mere seconds–like some sort of pyramid scheme comprised entirely of shredding death infernos–well, that would be just dandy. But even if you already have the god-king of firearms at your disposal, you’re still not ready. You need to arm everybody in your group, you need spares just in case and you need ammo. In short, you need to get to the gun store.
The only problem being: So does everybody else.
The closest gun shop to your house is also the closest gun shop to a thousand other people’s houses, and at least a few dozen of them are going to get there before you. Assuming that the place isn’t clean out–probably because the shop is either locked down like a fortress, or because the owners are barricaded inside and would rather like to keep their livelihood and defensive measures, thanks–you still need to get your arsenal. See, owners of gun stores tend to like guns, and people that like guns not only generally want to keep them, but are also quite capable of using them.
“You can have my gun… when you come down to my place of business and ask politely. I’ve got a lot, take one!”
Now you and a thousand other people are on the outside of a suburban fortress, hurling “pretty pleases” at a half-insane, heavily-armed, trained marksmen inside. Not only are you probably not coming away from the gun store with a shiny new weapon; you’d be lucky to get out of there without an impromptu sunroof installed in your skull.
Add an Electric Chainsaw To Your AK-47 To Battle Zombies
With the zombie apocalypse around the corner you need he best weapons you can get your hands on. So lets add a chainsaw to your ak-47.
The Zombie-X rifle was created by DoubleStar as a more effective tool for dealing with the apocalypse of the undead that’s right around the corner. The most notable addition to the modified AK-47 is a battery-powered electric chainsaw mounted to the business end of the rifle for melee attacks.
I’m also fond of the Zombie-X’s EOTech XPS2-Z scope which puts a glowing biohazard symbol on your target instead of the typical red dot. There’s no word on whether DoubleStar actually intends to produce their chainsaw accessory, but I imagine there are plenty of Gears of Warfans excited to own a real-life lancer
Walking Dead Season Finale Spoiler
Shot opens in Atlanta: a group of walkers are feasting on what looks like Rick’s horse, or what’s left of it, when they’re startled by the sound of a helicopter flying overhead. The horde migrates over several days, weeks, a great distance, and eventually comes to a fence. The fence bows and breaks under the relentless forward motion of the walkers. The herd presses on. Wandering aimlessly in the forest, the walkers turn as a gunshot goes off like a beacon, leading them to dinner. Soon they are closing in on Rick and Carl, as they leave the scene of Shane’s murder.
Daryl and Glenn arrive back at the farmhouse. They explain that they heard a gunshot, and share their confounding findings about Randall.
Practical Zombie survival
Practical Zombie survival
If you’ve gotten here in the last few moments before the zombies are breaking down your door, this is a good start. There’s a lot more specific detail about Zombie survival available here, both in the forums and other pages.
1. Stay Calm, if you loose your head now, you might just lose your head!
2. Remember, most Zombies are slow, you can probably get away if you follow a few simple rules.
3. There are a few important things to have with you now, like food, water, weapons, ammunition and a good flashlight.
4. If possible, try to secure your location. Shopping malls are a bad idea because of all the entrances, but you want a handy supply of the things you’ll need at your disposal, raiding parties to get supplies can be mounted, but only if you can secure your location.
5. In areas that the population is heavy, the infestation will be heavy as a side effect, a cabin in the woods sounds pretty good about now doesn’t it?
6. Do what you can to barricade every entrance, and for pete’s sake, stay put.
7. Always have an exit strategy.
8. I don’t care if she used to be your girlfriend, or if he was your best friend, if they’re bitten or killed by zombies, the only way you’ll see them again is as zombies, save yourself the pain, and put a slug in their head now.
9. Be as patient as possible, waiting for rescue, but start making your long term plans for survival now.
And I say again; Don’t get surrounded. You’re dead if you do!
Also, avoid common mistakes like:
* Using a vehicle, which you don’t have keys for, as a safe haven.
* Leaving simple weapons, like machete’s and baseball bats out where the Zombies might find them.
* Teaching Zombies things that might be detrimental to you, like the use of firearms
* Giving your only gun to the dude who’s lossing his marbles
* Hiding in the basment, but leaving your supplies on te kitchen counter
* Using the elevator in a Zombie infested building
* Fighting with your fellow survivors about little things, after all, we’re all in this together!
Internet will most likely go out before too long, or the power (generally speaking, no power = no internet) so you may want to take your laptop with you when you retreat to whatever safe haven you can find, and try to read more here about the specifics of zombie survival, before you lose the connection. I’ll be adding a downloadable PDF file to the site in the next few weeks that you might want to have handy, and should cover some basics, even if the internet goes out. You might want to print out copies so you can have it when the power fails.
