Zee_ Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 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. 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. You guys are onto it! Although I would get sick of being in the air for so long.. I wonder if that is why our idiot Prime Minister over blew the budget by buying fighter planes WE DON't need. He's a prepper? He's definitely a prepper - 'Let's make University and general education unobtainable for the poor so the poor can stay stupid and therefore us rich folk can TAKEOVERTHEWORLD'. He won't be using the fighter planes for the Aussie Military, just for his own personal benefit. It's going to end up like Game of Thrones or something, where Abbott decides he is the rightful King and uses the fighter planes to hunt down Julia Gillard and Kevin07. 1 Quote Egg, Level 1 Dragon, Adventurer | STR 2 | DEX 0 | STA 1 | CON 0 | WIS 7 | CHA 0 1 2 Link to comment

MalleusMaleficarum Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 I do the craziest, nerdiest thing possible: I read a lot of nonfiction just for curiosity's sake, and then I think about what I've read in an unorthodox fashion.

I reckon the hospitals and chemists will get raided pretty quickly. Do we have any herbologists on here?Depends on the medicine.. something like insulin would be very difficult to store or produce. Disinfectants are easy and cheap (stash a lot of high proof vodka for multiple uses).Fish Antibiotics can be obtained cheaply are are similar to human antibiotics and don't require prescriptions.. though it should go without saying you should do significant research before dosing yourself with fish pills. 1 Quote Link to comment

SevenofSeven Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 However in a semi starved state due to hunting gathering lifestyles, would modern diseases such as insulin dependant diabetes not cull out the weakest and leave the strongest and healthiest?
