morethanjustamom Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Funny thing about that whole head out of town because of a hurricane. Last year Irene hit, I had headed to Richmond to be away from the storm to my parents house. Richmond got HAMMERED by the storm and where I live didn't even have any flooding beyond a normal above average high tide. Shoulda stayed.This happened to us when Lily hit. I was pregnant and Hubby's mom BEGGED him to get me and our (then) two kids out of Baton Rouge because Lily was predicted to hit there, so we drove 4 hours north to her house. Lily skipped BR, and hit her city full on. No power for three days in an all electric house with two kids and a pregnant (nauseous) me. Crazy!

Guest Gemeaux Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 I have my first aid certificate if that counts ?Since I work in a Kindy I know how to make craft and could make useful things out of anything . Ha ha ! I think while having guns are useful , it is knowing the small and simple things that can really come in handy . Like knowing how to tie knots , know the stars and where East , West is etc . My dad has dozens of survival books so I have read them since I was little . Though we would be screwed since we live in Australia and we are basically one big Island cut off from the rest of the world . Quote Link to comment

Mb82 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Can zombies swim ?Have you ever seen them swim in a movie? I haven't. Actually that is what my Evolution prof said last semester, he plan was to steal a Disney Cruise lines ship and take it out to sea. Why Disney Cruise lines? because you might as well have fun while the Zombie Apocalypse is going on. She was one of those odd professors, like most are. Quote Link to comment

GreenEyesBright Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I'm all for stealing a cruise ship. Just grab my family and park out in the ocean. Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk Quote Wake Your Dreams... Link to comment
wildross Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 If you are concerned, or want to become concerned..checkout "Doomsday Bunkers". Not sure which channel it was on. $400K will get you an 1100 square foot underground bunker with space to store food for 4 people for 6 months. You provide the food and land.

oystergirl Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 First, i would take a nice sail boat since I know how to sail and can rig anything without a motor no problemo...cruise ship is all fine and dandy but what happens if some of the folks have gotten the virus...as for australia, I remember reading "on the beach" and thinking I would much rather live there than here and get hit with all the fall out so quickly! Plus, if the aborigines could live in the bush for centuries so could you on the wild forage.I have actually been wild foraging a lot lately. Chickweed, sheep sorrel, marsh marigold, hairy bitter cress...so nutritious for you and if you know WHERE to find wild foods and how to cook them, this really will help when your canned spaggettios run out...also, you can plant a garden and some starving neighbors could pick it clean in the night, but if you know the secret morel hidding place...food hidden in plain sight is always better...knowing basic wild medicinals is also key to long term survival and health....

Yes I have thought of it.http://utahsheltersystems.com/ Quote Link to comment
andygates Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Those cruise ships. Full of zombies already, of course. Bring your own sharpened shovel for clearance duties... Quote Link to comment
