group

Let’s talk about THE GANG. Obviously you need a good team to fight zombies, and frankly the movies don’t cut it. Tough black guy? Seriously. So this is what any good group should have:
(Oh, and I’m sorry if I think in the masculine. Assume everything is He/She, unless specified)

First off, I'll describe my immediate location. I live in a seaside town, and the specific area I live in is a small quay type area. My house is located on a street leading to a cul-de-sac, and this means that there is only one entrance to the road. Therefore, I do not have the immediate problem of traffic. Traffic will play an important part in the movement that occurs in my plan (unfortunately). Right at the end of my street is a friend of mine. In case of a zombie outbreak, he is my first priority, due to the mate factor.

At the time of initial zombie attack, conventional communication (primarily the Internet, but also phones (mobile and landlines)) will still be active. I will attempt to use this to assemble a medium sized group 10-20 of my friends and relatives and anyone else who's prepared to listen and can offer anything (-obviously no-one would be turned away if possible), and used to co-ordinate everyone into a single group. This group will be used to gather resources and materials necesarry for survival- mainly seeds, wood, metal poles and building supplies.

At the time of initial zombie attack, conventional communication will still be active. Use this to assemble a medium sized group (20+), and use to co-ordinate everyone. Take group to civilian marina, steal enough boats, fuel, supplies etc (some will have been pre-stockpiled) to make journey to Takutea [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takutea].

Alright guys, this is my post in reply to a forum topic of group info. I think this is a great idea, and everyone should try to do this.

My group name: Crystal Crow County

My position: Second In Command, Keeper of the Arts

I've Actually been thinking about this lately and I plan on revising it as I go.

Thank god for my psycho teacher. Only he would have a year's ration of water bottles in a windowless room.

Step 1
Gotta get to my highschool. Why?

Structure- place looks like a damn prison. It is built with so much concrete it's hard to imagine any other place to go. Windows are limited, and the windows that are available are second story. But the place was built in the 50's so its like supposed to be structured like a bomb shelter i guess. I dunno, if i designed a high school, I'd be more about encouraging learning than encouraging a soviet bombing.

Location- Place is right next to a freakin food court. I know those sleeze-bags knew that teenagers only eat food that their parents DIDN'T pack em, so they all opened up right next to the school. I guess I should be grateful, But man do they cause traffic to be an ass when school gets out. Also there's a Big 5 like a couple blocks away. They got some guns. I mean they're not great, but they're a whole lot better than a friggen bat.

Investments- I don't know about you fools, but my high school is loaded. We've even got a bit of solar panels and a back up generator. I'm not even kidding. I mean it don't help much. Generator lasts like an hour, and the pannels meet less than 3 % of the schools energy needs DURING THE DAY. But when crisis comes, that's damn helpful. And its got a library. Even if those wimpy panels can't bust a nut for entertainment, I guess I got books right. You know for burnin and stuff.

Crazy Teacher's room- avoiding name cause i don't want to hurt no one's feelings. Except O'Connor. He can go to hell. Yeah, but Psycho's room? He's our tech guy, and he boarded up all the windows in his class room. God knows why, i think he's insane. But thats only the icing. Dude has a fridge with a year's worth of bottled water! Guy buys like everything at costco I swear. So not only am I virtually invisible, I got enough water to last me a good while before I move to step two.

At this point I'm looking for survivors, cause oh geez People get crazy when they're lonely. I'm sure i speak for all of us when say I got the jibblies when will smith started makin small talk with the mannequins. Not to mention, Twould be nice to have people to do the food getting instead of me having to risk my life for it.

The school's got allot of phone books, and school references, so I could probably try calling around for my friends. If the lines are down, what evs, School's a good meeting ground. I'm sure at least the kids are bound to walk by here just to check.

Also any power is devoted to the internet. Shoot, there's probably no one sending internets. Dang, I guess I'm using it for the fridge. Gotta get the most out of your food i guess.

At this point I'm making preparations for step 2, accommodating for any setbacks or bonuses I got while I was camping at schoo.

Unfortunately a lot of plans such as flying to a Scottish castle, building a fortress or moving to the top of a tepui (http://www.terebess.hu/kert/roraima.jpg), may be a touch impractical. I've had to create a back up plan where we have very little time to prepare. Now, I live in a town of 15,000 people, an hour east is a million people. The hypothetical scenario is as such: The city has been infected, it will starts spreading towards the town and it looks like it wont stop spreading anytime soon.

Ok first before this plan gets started this is how it’ll go, It will be the beginning of spring, I live in a suburban town with a a lot of people, pretty big for not being a major city, I have an SUV with enough gas to run at least 200 miles without refueling, I have A LOT of canned food and water. I don’t have a gun however I have a friend who has guns, and lots of them.

This plan is very specific for my survival with my city and neighbours and friends however with customization anyone else living in a city may benefit. You may use this plan as you see fit.

Much, much more detail later. In short, get a small apartment or office buildings, yes, the whole thing. Preferably one with an adjacent parking lot. Parking lot and perimiter enclsoed by a cinder block, concrete and rebar wall. Floors converted to agriculture, armory, hospital,brig, shooting range, storage, etc. Solar panels will be fixed to anywhere and verywhere outside. Redundant gate systems on all entrances/exits. Standardized offensive and defensive kits created.
