Why does your wife have the 7.62 & you the 5.56?
And don't forget the Twinkies

We have a matching set of 7.62s. Mine is classic black and hers is a kind of pink/maroon camo. :yes:

The MAR goes in the rucksack, silly.

Wife won't touch the twinkies, and I'm more of a Little Debbie's fan.

Oh - didn't see the "grab mine" when I orginally read it (bout the 7.62's)
Twinkies = Zombieland reference
Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies & Nutter Bars. Nom nom nom
And it sounds like your firearms & accessories are top notch - but for zombies you may want to invest in some Beta-mags. Would hate to get bit switchin out a mag

Great idea to head north. If we can make it thru Missouri I will make sure to show our ISU gear to get across the Iowa border.

my plan is to use a flame-thrower to cook them, if they get too close then the flaming chainsaw should do the trick.

I liked 'the Crazies' because it was a Zombie type movie that was a little more believable.

In any case, I hope all of you hear have read World War Z. Otherwise your are all f'd.

Just remember, stay away from the water. Always get the high ground. And only run or walk as fast as you need to.


Good flick. It does bother me though that they mention that it's the spring time early in the movie, but at the end, it's clearly fall, right after harvest.... (But that's just the nerd in me)

Where they love the governor
Geesh you guys aren't prepared at all. Here's the gameplan:

Run to the basement locker and grab my ALICE ruscksack and tactical backback containing the following:

Army lensatic compass
Army M-3 medical field kits (2)
50' Paracord (3)
15pc. Lock Pick Set (2)
Zippo lighters (4)
25 pack of waterproof matches (4)
Israeli Gas Mask w/ NATO filter (2)
1 case of MREs and 12 bottles of water

Then strap on my Gerber Gator Machete and Cyborg Ninja Combat Katana while the Gerber Bear Grylls Survival Knife goes in the backpack. Give the wife her favorite Cutco large kitchen knife for her purse.

My Smith and Wesson M&P5L (9x19) goes on the right belt holster and the 8 cartridges go in the backpack along with my Colt Python .357 and 4 boxes of 50 loads. Wife gets her Glock 27 and throws the S&W shortnose .38 in her purse.

Remington 12-gauge 870 SHURSHOT with 4 boxes deer slugs goes in the rucksack, along with my Galil MAR (5.56) and 4 30-round mags for it.

Give the wife her Galil AR/M (7.62) and grab mine and throw the 4 50 round mags in the rucksack.

Load up the kiddies in the minivan, and go to WalMart for some "shopping" and head north to my uncle's place outside Schaller.

Cheers

P.S. Forgot to add all the leftover Halloween candy and portable DVD for the kids.

The M&P is a fine gun, but for zombies, I hope you're packing hollowpoints if you're just carrying a 9. Need to step it up to a .40 at least! :yes:

Oh I got ya, but it's a known fact that if you play a guitar or banjo near some twinkies, then something about the chemicals in them creates a zombie-magnetic zone (usually in convenience stores or grocery stores).

I'm just looking out for you, my friend. Giving you pearls.

Upon witnessing a bunch of slow-moving mouthbreathers in dirty overalls wandering on my lawn, I would just tell them that Coach Osborne is giving out free samples of cough syrup at the Walls-mart.

That ought to take care of it.

Now that is funny!

Gather a salty crew (including at least one naval officer), raid the local food jobbers, and make haste for Hampton Roads. Once there, we commandeer an aircraft carrier and set sail. While zombies eventually infest the mainland, we learn a new way of life; the open seas! The ocean's bounty would sustain us with the food and nourishment we need to survive, and the water, being impervious to zombies, would offer natural protection.

Think "Waterworld". Or the way pirates used to live.

If given a choice of dodging zombies or living with Kevin Costner with hair extensions, I'll take my chances with the zombies.

I'd probably try to convince a group of guys in my condo building (20 units) to help me completely raid the grocery store in our neighborhood as a unified force (about 2 blocks away), then turn our old brick building into a fortress. Maybe abandon the first floor and move everyone to the top two floors and lock some more doors.

If we all had to leave as a group an abandoned elevated train track runs through our neighborhood and gets us 4 miles away from the heart of the city (still a good 30 more to go), we could follow the tracks further but wouldn't be protected by the elevation any further than that.

A bit of advice for my fellow CF'ers:

You do not have to be the fastest in of the group. Just don't be the slowest.
