FamilyBeer Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I need to pick up some survival skills. Although in a commune situation I could contribute to childcare and cooking and cleaning. I also have a replica Klingon Bat'leth, which I'm not strong enough to wield myself but I'm sure someone could make use of it LOL, I can't wait till I hear that someone has one that isn't a replica!!! 2 Quote Challenge Logs: Current Challenge 3 2 1 Battlelog Origin of Name: FN: Julian -> Jules -> Family Jewels -> Family LN: Rickards = Canadian brand of Beer -> Beer Call me "FamilyBeer" (or just Jules) Link to comment
hblyne Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 LOL! Well mine wasn't actually used in the filming of any Star Trek, and is blunt, therefore it is a replica. Klingons aren't real. Quote Battle Log - Record from the Front Lines http://hblyne.com Link to comment

The Stranger Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 That's easy enough to fix....It's still probably low-quality steel, though. Most "replica" weapons don't really hold an edge. (Completely aside from the fact that the bat'leth looked like a pretty useless weapon even to teenage me, and it hasn't gotten any better as I've learned things like physics. I'm far too nerdy to apply Rule of Cool to preparing for the zombie apocalypse.) Quote Level 2 Assassin There's a Stranger in TownThe Stranger 2:Electric Boogaloo Link to comment

You're right though, it probably is a relatively low grade steel. In any case, it'd still be better than nothing. 1 Quote "Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back." - Captain Malcolm Reynolds Current Challenge Also, I Agree With Tank™ Link to comment

KGB Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 The husband and I were discussing the zombie apocalypse last night, and we determined that I'd be screwed as soon as I ran out of contacts and lost or broke my glasses. :/ I could maybe make due with some pilfered drug-store glasses, but probably not.

Maj. Bloodnok Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hey now. Some people here are the natives. And heavily armed is a good thing! I'd recommend St Louis out of purely selfish reasons, as I live there already. Other than that, I think northern Arizona/New Mexico would be our best bet. Second vote for St. Louis: earthquakes aside, there's good farmland here, two rivers, and a reasonably temperate climate. The American Southwest is getting drier and drier, which would make subsistence farming difficult. I suggest we estabilsh ourselves a little farther south and west in the Missouri River Valley... say, somewhere around Hermann? (AKA wine country!)

The Swedish Ninja Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Don't. Even. Joke. About. That. o.0Don't worry, the probability for zombie spiders are extremely low. For them to exist, a zombie must bite a spider, which is unlikely, since they are so small. But I would be scared of the following zombie animals: Eagles, dogs (resident evil apocalypse, buff said), big cat animals. Then reptiles would be kind of scary, but honestly, I see no big difference in a ordinary alligator and a zombie one, I´d run in both cases….

hblyne Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Well I figured the bat'leth would be roughly on a par with a baseball bat or hammer, probably not so hot at slicing the zombie heads off but capable of squishing them.
