Spliff Posted October 21, 2008 Members Share Posted October 21, 2008 During my stay in our fire-gushing army, I was told that if I put on my regulation helmet , the rainponcho and sat down, I would survive even Teh Bomb. Somehow it did not make me feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members collinwho Posted October 21, 2008 Members Share Posted October 21, 2008 It takes fuel to go to shops and buy water and such. With no electricity you can't pump fuel and with no fuel you don't get very far. How far do I need to get? Keep in mind, I live in the middle of a metro area, so fresh food will immediately be gone in this hypothetical. And how long without fuel? Because it isn't like we wouldn't immediately start rebuilding a fuel supply that was lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members georgestrings Posted October 21, 2008 Members Share Posted October 21, 2008 that would give me a reason to buy them without feeling like I also need to pick up my tin foil hat.... How did they work for hunting? Extremely well - to my knowledge, they were the inspiration behind the 1st commercial scentlok suits, and are pretty much the same thing, minus the fancy liner, and $200 pricetag... I just wash them once with a detergant made for carbon suits before wearing them when new - if you don't, they'll shed charcoal on your clothes... I have shot deer at closer than 15 FEET - is that good enough for beating their noses??? - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members J. Posted October 21, 2008 Members Share Posted October 21, 2008 Just remember, the Necronomicon is not good late night reading. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! In any sort of societal collapse, I'd probably end up getting shot to death by some person holed up in a ramshackle fortress. I'd be walking along looking for shelter, not realizing that I was too close to some crazy gun nut's hideout. The next thing I know, a 30.06 bullet would rip through my chest and it would be all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brother Mango Posted October 21, 2008 Members Share Posted October 21, 2008 Will zombies need lawyers?

In all seriousness, the original conversation is pure science fiction at this point. Zombies will definitely need lawyers buy I doubt they'll have much in the way of patents and other intellectual property. I think they'll need defense against slip-n-fall attorneys hired by people who lie and say, "Friggin zombie bit me and broke my car window."

CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted October 21, 2008 CMS Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 I gotta snicker a bit at the "I can hunt and fish" folks here....good luck after the first week....if you haven't been shot by someone competing for the scarce huntable resources in your area, they'll be gone after that first week. If you don't live near the ocean after that, you'll be living off whatever crops exist locally until those have been fought over and taken. Twinkies and cockroaches.

Keep in mind, I live in the middle of a metro area, so fresh food will immediately be gone in this hypothetical. And how long without fuel? Because it isn't like we wouldn't immediately start rebuilding a fuel supply that was lost. Fresh food won't stay fresh very long even in a metro. If the States was to become a war-zone, it is not likely to be the Seychelles attacking you and only one week. Supply-lines, electricity-plants and fuel-refineries are a popular targets in war. Any selfrespecting enemy will know about caved-up reserves and could make it their business bringing supplies from a war-zone country-side into an even more likely war-zone metro might prove tricky after all. Also they will probably not let you go about repairing damages unhindered. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I refer to the ability to hunt/fish....that means my family regularly has a years worth of venison/salmon and other meat on hand. So we'd already be set - it would come into play once we start to run down on food. also we can like crazy so there are tons of canned goods in the basement.It was funny - I was making pickles one year after moving into the city (Chicago) and I went to look for canning jars.

Now here's the $10 question; given a landing of soldiers of US soil who gain a substantial foothold, how long before we go nuclear on their homeland? Give that a thought and a shudder. My guess it we measure that time in hours, not days or weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You assume you can defend that year's supply for long enough for it to matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
