rainf 76 Posted August 30, 2012 Im fairly fit, live not far from the end of suburbia but do not have any firearms readily at arms reach however a police station is down the road so it may be possible to get something there but highly risky. I'm in no short supply of non perishables and I have a box of ration packs from when I was in the army. I live not too far from a water supply, and have many basic survival tools avail again from the military such as a field water filter.If I managed to avoid being killed jn the initial outbreak I could probably do ok, but if my kids didn't make it I'd probably be opting out somewhere, and my partner and I are separated living on opposite sides of the city which makes my ability to get over there in a panic next oto none.

Ixnay Hombre 10 Posted August 30, 2012 Dude guns would be "Eh" I'd prefer a sturdy melee weapon and a pistol with a clip or two for just-in-case situactions. I'm more focused on finding a place and creating a farm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CerebralZombie (DayZ) 151 Posted August 30, 2012 Got my Zombie Survival guide, but not really prepared myself in the sense that I haven't bought a thing... (Crowbar, weapon, emergency kit, ect, ect.)I have a fully written out plan though, that I've told a few close friends. ( It is perfect in every way. =] ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RaysGoodLiquor 93 Posted August 30, 2012 I always considered zombie preparation as a cover. When kids/teenagers do it, it's to feel like a badass. When older people do it, it's an interesting excuse to prepare for martial law and/or a violent revolution. Tip number one, don't broadcast your real life arsenal across the internet, even if you are an American. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heiduk 265 Posted August 30, 2012 It's always interesting to me that people seem to think "Having gear" == "Being prepared".Some reindeer herder in outer Mongolia probably wouldn't see, let alone fire, 20,000 rounds during his entire life but would barely notice a global zombie pandemic.People who live in rural areas and know how to get their food from someplace other than a supermarket would probably do ok. Beyond that, how's your luck? Other than that, mental resilience would probably be the other big deciding factor and I doubt most of the people here have ever been in a situation that significantly tests that. Most of us are to busy dealing with first world problems. "Oh no my game hasn't been patched in a month!!!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bad_mojo (DayZ) 1204 Posted August 31, 2012 I actually stopped on the way home from work tonight and got a backpack for my survival gear, and a couple things to put in it. Got a nice light weight hatchet, military compass, and magnesium stick. Now I gotta dig up all my other survival gear and put it in the pack so I'm ready for the infection.

Thadeum 103 Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) I am in an appartment at 10th floor.I am in a 6 millions+ people city.I have no guns, only a knife, a hammer, and a flashlight (hopefully it works on dynamo).I have a bike, not a car, so I would probably be exposed a lot if trying to drive.In fact there is a lot of chances I would be fucked as hell and would end up in barricading myself in hope... in hope...

MoronToTheKore 57 Posted August 31, 2012 Of all the people who posted, including me, most of us would end up dying.I like to think I'm a good shot with my wittle shotgun. I'm pretty fit and fast. I've got a bike, various camping/survival gear, and respectable distance from an urban area. I can hunt, skin and cook an animal. Plus I've got a handy little survival book. Knowledge is power and all that.But honestly, none of that makes a difference. There's just so many variables to something like an apocalypse. Plus, there's really no way to accurately assess your mental ability. Who could actually stay calm, avoid crowd paranoia, make rational decisions, hell, avoid just going completely crazy? Who knows!
