i keep a mak90 and a few sks's for back up guns.nothing like haveing pleanty of the same ammo for different guns.

I agree with the same ammo for different guns idea. I have 4 AR's in various configurations. Two are dedicated to day use (no night vision capabilities), one dedicated to night use (no day capabilities), and the short barrel that can do either (has both capabilities). I'd like a MAK-90 so that if I run out of .223 (doubtful, but possible) I still have a weapon to defend myself. The two dominant platforms in the country (in my opinion) are the .223 and the 7.62x39. I expect there to be plenty of half empty mags on scattered on the ground when the SHTF in those two calibers.

Its dark out around 8 hours a day. I imagine during the zombie apocalypse the power will be out. People limit themselves to being combat capable to only 2/3 of a day. People will buy 20 guns. Have every tacticool attachment imaginable on said guns. Have 5000+ rounds for each gun. But no night vision. In my opinion, night vision is very important. I realize that nvg's are freaking expensive. But 8 hours is a very, very, very long time to be blind. If your the guy planning on taping a flashlight to the barrel of your gun, don't expect to have a long life expectancy. Batteries can be recharged with a solar charger (I admit I have yet to acquire one).

Hmm. AS for how the Z will hunt, I guess that is another matter, but it should be part of your preparedness.

Zombie by itself = easy (relatively.) Unless it senses you first, and starts its wail. Plus, the added noise of you shooting it, and you have more coming to you.

So, does the "shoot and scoot" view make more sense than the "stay in one place" view? Shoot and scoot, and your paths may be blocked by the Z alerted to the noise. Stay in one place, the other Z will be coming around to investigate the noise.

Variables are multiple, and all are not easily foreseen. I probably will look to a certain location and sit tight, as traveling in the early stages will expose you to more unknowns and the panic of the public. Later stages, when the Z have decayed, and need arises, then I would travel. Knowing full well the number 1 threat will now be my fellow survivors.

As for me, I will have to ensure I have certain medication stored and easily collectible, including additional sources close by. As I am now medicine dependent for life. When the med runs out, I will follow suit in a few weeks.

[mikadosoft]

If you're medicine dependent for life, find out where its made or where a distribution hub is. Somewhere where there would be a large, fresh stockpile. During the ZA I'd try to set up there. Also, many medications are derived from old home remedies. Maybe the medicine is derived from, or a concentrate of, something simply acquired. Yeah, sooner or later it will be used up or expired, but maybe you'd last long enough til sanity is restored. If not, I'd rather die fighting.

i do not have any nvg's now but if the time came i could get a set .look at all the stuff in the walking dead that is everywhere when the military was over run.i have an a ng unit about 6 miles away from my house and friends still in.

[mikadosoft]

Yeah... I agree with you. There would be plenty of stuff laying around when the time comes. I loved the show "The Walking Dead" but I was screaming at my television when they walked pass all the military stuff. They walk by a Hummer with a mounted .50 cal and got back in a POS farm truck!!! WTF!!!

i saw it and thought that they were crazyto pass it up along withthe m16's and other gear just laying there.they were low on food and ammo but did not grab any.i hope they do a winter version of it.would be fun to see what happened then.

[Guest rebeldrummer]

i wish they would make their way up to knoxville and see whats going on up here??!! all us "good ole boys" would prob have this area on lock!!!

[mikadosoft]

Yeah... I would like to see a episode where they run into a group of people that actually aren't stupid. Show them what they can accomplish if they start scrounging before its almost to late. Why be on your last mag of ammo, when in the last episode you walked by a military ammo dump. They can run into someone like me, living at Hugh Hefners summer house (just outside Atlanta), with my harem and weapon stockpile...
