What To Expect After

Posted by mercutiom On April - 26 - 2010

The day will come when all the zombies are gone.  They may be buried, frozen, dissolving at the bottom of the sea, etc. but they will, for all intents and purposes, be gone.  At this point humanity, if we have survived, will have to rebuild.

If we are lucky and have survived through the zombie apocalypse there will be little or nothing left of the world and society we now know.  Humanity will have been knocked back beyond the Dark Ages to a place little advanced from the Stone Age. Read the rest of this entry »

Weathering The Storm

Posted by mercutiom On January - 19 - 2010

The zombie apocalypse will be as hard a war as has ever been fought.  People will have to do terrible things, make impossible choices, and live in ways that are not only uncomfortable, but completely incomprehensible to them now.

If one is to survive the zombie outbreak, one needs to be strong of mind and body, and will need to have the ability to make decisions quickly and with the force of will to back them up.  They will need to find ways to ensure their own survival above all else.

People will be called upon to kill friends and family.  Abandon those who are already lost to zombification.  Allow others to be attacked and killed or turned in order to ensure they are not. Read the rest of this entry »

What’s A Grenade Worth?

Posted by mercutiom On January - 15 - 2010

Grenades are decent anti-personnel weapons and one would assume that they would be worth using against the zombie hordes.  However, this is not the case.  When it comes to the undead, grenades are next to worthless.

A grenade works as a shrapnel scattering weapon.  The explosive inside detonates and forces the metal casing away from its center.  The shrapnel tears into the flesh of the nearby victim causing excessive damage and pain.  Against the live human, the grenade is a pretty good weapon.

Communication After The Outbreak

Posted by mercutiom On January - 14 - 2010

Communication between groups and even individuals is going to be very difficult after the Zombie Outbreak.  Cell phones will not work, the Internet will go down, even the mail will fail to be delivered.  All of this will happen within weeks (if not days) after the outbreak begins.

Yes, there will still be satellites up there, and some communication will be able to be maintained through them, but they too will fail eventually.  From that point on communication will fall back on the individual.

So what is the best means of communicating to others after the zombies come?  Obviously our ability to speak will be one of the main ways with whatever group of unturned you find yourself with.  But you will need to plan for those times you come across other groups and individuals, and how you plan to converse with them.  Remember, you will want to keep them at a safe distance at your first encounter, both to ensure your safety, and theirs.

Travelling With Weapons

Posted by mercutiom On January - 14 - 2010

We talked yesterday about travelling during a zombie outbreak, and the hassles that carrying weapons while flying.  Well today we wanted to take a moment and follow up on that.  You see, when you’re checking luggage carrying weapons can be rather simple, and it also can be additional insurance that your luggage will meet you at your destination.

The TSA has been searching checked luggage since its inception with the Patriot Act.  After the recent terrorist threats over the 2009 holiday season, they’ve stepped up their searching and, sadly, some TSA agents have been “confiscating suspicious items.”  Of course, not all $2000 cameras are suspicious but they seem to disappear with alarming regularity.

As a measure to insure the safety of your personal items and insure that your weapons will travel with you, we suggest you check them in your luggage and let the agent behind the counter know that you’re travelling with a weapon.  You’ll have to ensure the weapon in unloaded and the safety on, but after that the agent will lock your luggage and hand you the key.  You’ll be required to sign-off on the weapon and extra security tracking will be placed on your baggage.

Travelling During An Outbreak

Posted by mercutiom On January - 12 - 2010

We did a bit of travelling over the holidays, as most Americans do, visiting family and friends across the nation.  Some flew, some drove, and some simply walked, but all of us saw some problems with travelling if an outbreak were to occur.

So we began to think, what would we do if there were a zombie outbreak while we were travelling?  What would we do if we were away from our plans, our weapons, our team?  What steps should we take before leaving town?  And so on…. Read the rest of this entry »

The Zombie Apocalypse Is Here…On Twitter

Posted by mercutiom On January - 8 - 2010

Yes, it’s true.  There is a man on Twitter talking about living through an apparent zombie outbreak in the Miami area.  While he is currently the only one reporting anything about the apparent outbreak, there is nothing we have been able to find that would expose this as false.

We must note, however, that “Gus” does seem to smoke a lot of marijuana, and that news has been flowing normally from sources in and about the Miami area.  While we must consider the possibility of a zombie outbreak in southern Florida, we have our suspicions. Read the rest of this entry »
