insanity Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 It wouldn't matter if the moat was filled with crocs, I'm pretty sure I'd build like a castle or something and then the 3 foot spikes would probably stop them aswell. And crocs would be easier to catch than sharks.. haha. Anyone want to donate to my fund so I can buy an Island?!Never said you could only do one.... Shoot.. go 3 moats, one punji pit, one sharks, one crocs, then spikes on your walls, and a nice slick oil coated wall, that angles outward. That way if they get past the moats, managed to figure out how to climb despite the oil, they'll tumble backwards once they get built up tall enough.... and no... I've never thought about this... 1 Quote "Insanity - you make my world a better place man, you really do!

Zee_ Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 That sounds like a good plan to me!! And of course, I'd have to make the island self-sufficient... This is going to be harder than I thought!

Garden for veggies and fruits, chickens for eggs and an occasional chicken dinner... make the island down here in Florida and you'll have rain damn near every day, get you some rain barrels and you'll be set... :-) Solar/wind for power...

SevenofSeven Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Although thinking about it, I think our island has a lot to offer, plenty of wild game pig, goat, horse, millions of sheep, lots of crocs for the moat and plenty of underground water in Northern West Australia for drinking and irrigation.So who's up for a coup? 1 Quote Wait!

Maj. Bloodnok Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 New Madrid Fault, eh? Hell, you're only about 2-3 hours away from me. More like 20 min in good traffic. Based on your posts in other threads, we're in the same major city.(No, I'm not stalking you. Really.) Said major city is definitely not ready for even a moderate quake. My uncle's a retired geology professor, and can hold forth for hours on what a 6.5 temblor from the New Madrid would do to St. Louis and Memphis. (TL;DR version: build a house of cards on Jello. Shake the Jello. See what happens.) Quote "If you get into trouble, you can always eat something, blow something up, or throw penguins." - Jim Henson Link to comment
Maj. Bloodnok Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hey, if you're planning a sustainable colony, don't forget to plant some good hardwood trees like oak or black walnut. Edible nuts, wood for tools, weapon hafts, etc, and tannin for curing hides.

But that's a conversation I don't want to go down on a public forum. I'll just piss off a lot of people. Nice to see another St Louis person on the boards here! If I'm not mistaken, that makes 3 of us that I know of.

The Swedish Ninja Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Loving where this thread has led! As for surviving the Zombie Apocalypse, I think I'll just get a nuclear air craft carrier. No need for fuel for the next 20-30 years, plenty of space and the possibility to use the mini-guns to blast zombies from a safe distance. I see no flaws with my plan, just need to call Obama and have him give me one of his.

He's a prepper?It could be like in World War Z, where the Israelis built the Wall to protect themselves from the Zombies they know were coming.

KGB Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 While we're planning for zombies, can I suggest a book series? http://www.amazon.com/Foxfire-Complete-Collection-Books-Through/dp/B0073XCN2K/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1400687082&sr=8-5&keywords=foxfire The Foxfire books started out as a high school English assignment. Something like, "Go interview your grandparents and have them teach you something." The result was a magazine, and eventually, a bunch of books with a ton of information about living off the land, doing things yourself, and living life more simply. I got my set from a library sale, and I've seen them at yard sales. You won't get a lot of technical speak and intricate drawings or scientific backing, but I find it fascinating to learn from primary sources. A fun read. Contains a lot of fascinating folklore, too. This is another book I love, about homesteading. Highly recommended if you are at all interested. She did more research, so it's probably more useful and applicable than the Foxfire series. http://www.amazon.com/Encyclopedia-Country-Living-Anniversary-Edition/dp/1570618402/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1400687388&sr=8-1&keywords=encyclopedia+homesteading I guess the nerdy thing I do is read and learn about homesteading when I'll likely never do it.
