I think that if the zombies came, I'd take a boat up or down the Mississippi River to a larger body of water. Zombies cannot swim! And i would establish a supply point that is well defended along the banks of wherever I'd go. Then, I could live on the bank and have a speedy getaway from zombies.

Then you are probably in the sort of bad movie you'd rather die than continue to live in anyway.

A M60 on a tripod, several cases of beer, a ghettoblaster and enough music tapes.

Then party like it's the apocalypse!

The fact that zombies can't swim leads to a dangerous sense of safety on the water. As Brooks pointed out in his Zombie Survival Guide, they are able to walk under water. No air in the body = specific gravity less than water. Also the speed of decompostion is much slower than abvove water, they can literally walk for years. So as soon as you set anchor, a zombie walking in the riverbed could grab the chain and climb onto your boat.
Same goes for your supply point idea on a bank. If you don't also put up defensive parameters towards the river, you are in danger.

Stay safe!

Sounds like a plan.

I need to read that book. I didn't know about zombies walking underwater but I knew that I would have to defend the bank very well.

Go read the book now, Red; its one of the only books I've read that I immediately started to re-read once I finished it the first time.

My Stepfather works for these 2 doctors, both marred to each other (male & female although that shouldn't matter) who have bought wholesale into the "survivalist," claptrap. Guns, gear, panic-room, etc. The male doctor even has gotten to where he's packing heat every day-granted, I can see that for the doctor/drugs/theft reason, so no snark on my part for that.

But, and this is what I told my Stepfather to mention to this guy, he lives several miles from his house. If the big-one goes up, then how in the hell is he going to get to the safety of his home as they'll be plenty of crap to deal with between the front door of his office and the front door of his house?

For myself, I hope I die quick; I like my internet too much.

Easy solution to keeping Zombies from climbing your anchor chain:



Normally it's used on dock mooring lines to keep rats from getting aboard but it should work great against dumb zombies...

I use this thread

I've been thinking about this doomsdays prophecies dec 21Th 2012 phenomenon

What if we aren't in the year 2013, what if we are in reality in some other years

Our counting is build on that Jesus was born year "0" but what if he was born earlier or later??

It all comes back now....during my time at sea we said it was to stop rats coming aboard and the port authorities would say it was to prevent rats coming ashore
