Also unless they've been bred as war horses they don't like loud noises ... the first time you fire that glock 21 from horseback you're going to find yourself on your arse on the ground .... this is why I like trucks, they don't shy and you can mount a machine gun on the roll bar
I think you missed my earlier post. I pretty much have an arsenal already. I'm not scared. Bring it on
but you have to sleep sometime - which is why you need a crew (sclavus probably wonders wtf happened to his thread)
You said I could be in your crew (and I have two kids that are excellent shots, great with horses, and hunters).
yeah you can - you can bring your kids too (and the horses)... that was more a ref to wreys original point about going solo or crewing up .... going solo is risk however good you are as sooner or later you need to sleep.
you can bring a partner if you want too ... I guess we'll let wrey bring william along, though hes not having a firearm unless he learns to use it properly
So long as we're gathering from across the globe, I vote Puerto Rico. We'd starve come winter at my place, and there're too many people in the US and UK. Can zombies swim?
Ammo is heavy, and will run out. Chances are you might invest in a gas-mask considering the infection would probably be airborne to infect people easier. Better yet an underground bunker. Zombies will not be as much of a threat as the remaining human element. So save your ammo for people, and hunting as that is where it will come in most handy. Having an emergency field kit will come in handy, and liquor will be largely re-purposed as an antiseptic. So pack light, and scavenge for what you need in cities seeing as the chaos will kill most of them in their panic. Not as exciting when you realize you will have to basically fight off other people constantly, now is it? 1 or a horde of desperate people is far more dangerous than your average reanimated corpse (or what ever the hell really turns them into idiotic uncordinated walking meat suits).
This is why I'm glad I'm in Northern Canada. Anyone with out the sense to find shelter and a fire for half the year are pretty much non-threats. Not only that, but the sparse population density would make it hard for the hordes to make it from village to village. If I was in a large center when an outbreak happened, though, I'd probably go it alone for the most part. If I camped out in places like rooftops and water towers, then I wouldn't have to worry about any zombies sneaking up on me while I slept. And ammunition might run low, but there's also more guns than Americans in America, and I think it's one gun for every three Canadians, so accounting for personal ammunition stashes and department stores, there'd probably be enough bullets to clean out every Walker in North America with some to spare. That is if you didn't want to wait until the first solid freeze and just go smash them with a hammer. I guess this is why The Walking Dead takes place in Georgia.
I offer evidence of the meals I will provide (as long as the ingredients are available) in return for y'all badasses protecting me from the zombie horde: That my friends is a crab cake with homemade remoulade sauce and a spicy mango salsa. Otherwise know as tonight's dinner in the Kelly household.
In the crab cakes alone? About nine if you count salt, pepper and butter. The whole shebang is closer to 20 or so.
Cool. Old joke with some chefs I used to work with. They kept trying to one up each other. Went from the four ingredient crab cake, to a three, to a two.
The modern definition of 'zombie' is a Hollywood creation. Richard Matheson wrote a book in the 50's called 'I am Legend'. The story centered around the sole survivor of a vampire apocalypse. During the day he would stake as many vampires as he could uncover and at night survived by barricading himself inside a house. The novel was also innovated in that the vampires had a scientific explanation and were not supernatural. George Romero couldn't afford to buy the rights to the book, so, in his movie, he changed the vampires into 'dead people that ate flesh' and 'Night of the Living Dead' was born.
You use mayo in crab cakes? My recipe is basically crab, eggs, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper, then pan fried in either butter or bacon drippings, salted, peppered, and topped with dill and maybe some lemon juice.
Yep. Crab, scallions, red bell pepper, crushed Ritz crackers, mayo, Old Bay seasoning, salt, pepper, egg. I coat my cooktop griddle with butter and I'm good to go. Mayo has egg in it already, so it could take the place of that at least.
That sounds really good. Minus the Old Bay, that is. I know it sounds blasphemous, but the hint of (I think its) celery seed in it kinda turns me off of it for whatever reason. When I was a kid, though, I used to love it on popcorn. I wonder if crab cakes are a consistently viable meal option post apocalypse, or if there would be a problem with zombies wandering into crab traps drawn by the scent of chum, because option two for me post zombie infestation would be a fishing boat. There'd be easy access to food, you could harvest both fish and sea greens, plus boats are really hard for people to get back into after they fall out of them, so I'm assuming that if it would be almost impossible for zombies to get into, if they can swim. Plus, it'd make for a pretty convenient mobile staging ground to make sojourns to the mainland for supplies. And most boats nowadays are pretty much self contained with water generators and everything, so that'd be pretty convenient.
Hate to break it to you but during the zombie apocalypse crabbing may not be a top priority (although saying that we'd be safe from the zombies out on the boats)
