New idea : Tree House

[johnyflash 10]

Tree house is a good idea , like i said in my tree house post, i would much rather up than underground. Plus trip wires ;)

My original post ...

<p>

Reading some threads here, base building etc and i have always thought..fuck that, i would want a tree house. Up off the ground , pull up the wooden/rope ladder and you are fairly safe. Simple to naturally camoflauge. As kids we always had a treehouse and they rock, homebuilt and easy as with minimum tools and equipment needed. Then i thought, fire. They would kill me with fire and eat the freshly heated franks and beans. Fuckers.

So the old tin can trip wire trick. Never sleep fitfully with one eye open again. If you are seen whilst out digging for edible forest bugs (yum) and have to make a mad dash back to the tree pad of frivolity then once you are up and in,you will know if they have followed by the jingle jangle of the wire being tripped. Of course animals will be able to trip it so there will be plenty of false warnings, big winds will also affect it. But at least now we will have a use for all of those empty cans, all that is required is wire ,which is all over the place. Even the ability to strip down a farm fence will produce more than enough.

You could set several jingle jingle alarms so you could even pinpoint a general n/e/s/w direction.

Please see extremely awesome paint pic i wasted 2 minutes of my life on, it only shows one wire but you get the drift.

Must be able to camouflage the tree house, otherwise I see it being a target. Also, I really do hope the ladders would be retractable, because zombies climb ladders. If a zombies climb that ladder, you're screwed if you don't have an escape route.
