barricade

So this a new plan. After hearing word of it, I get my crowbar and check my house. If the zombies aren't there, I'll gather my family and we'll head down to McDonalds. If there are zombies, I kill them and check for survivors. When that's done, we'll scavenge for medicine, weapons, etc. We barricade McDonalds with chairs, tables, etc. .If there are zombies, then we might head for a different, less infested, area. We set up a way to get up to the bell tower, and set up a watch system. Now, for food, this is McDonalds. We have a lot of it.

As soon as news of a serious zombie threat reaches me I:

1) Add matches, tinned food, kitchen knives, rope, tools and appropriate medicine to already existing survival kit (which contains: Swiss army knife, ordinary knife, binoculars, compass, a few matches, indicator paper, dowel rods- for arrows/ firewood- and a slingshot)

2) Get Blankets and small Tent (both already on my property and get any crop seeds from house.

It's official, shit just got real. The undead are upon us, and the world is going down.

Step 1: Barricade your doors and windows to a safe degree, but remember to leave an escape route. There's nothing worse than being trapped in a house full of zombies. Try to be as quiet as possible, you don't know what could be listening.

Step 2: Decide on a HQ. Windowless rooms, Attics (Make sure it has an escape route) and other isolated areas are good.

Step 3: Fill your baths, sinks, buckets, bottles and any other container with water. Thirst sucks.

My plan takes at least one or two years of preparation, mainly preparing handmade shotgun shells, if 40 shells were made every day for a year (give or take a few), that would translate to about 14,600 shells, and of course if I had friends chip in, more, which I would then store in a rented container.

Ok, ive read several plans about using home improvement stores as shelters and i like it, but people dont use the store correctly. This is what my plan would be for suriving in a lowes/home depot/ace store.

i used to work at one so it might help me know a little more about how they built the building.
