Hey guys, greetings from Germany. I´ve fairly little experience in this, so I´´ll try to explain my choices.

Lots of durable foods. Water shouldn´t be a problem.

Short weapon is 9mm, because I expect this type of ammo to be more often available than more exotic types.

I guess 21 kilos is guite a load to wear... so no armor of course which might slow you down.

Night vision sounds kind of futuristic, but with electricity down and dark nights, this might come in handy.

Rifle is supposed to be sturdy, well stocked in terms of ammo.

Besides that: camouflage! All clothing is supposed to be difficult to spot in local fauna.

UK (Wales) reporting in. First time postan:

First thing I'd do is raid the local shooting school for a shotgun (the choke is a very long shot but would be very handy imo). Along with that I'd try and obtain the riot armour from a local police force. I could barter for it if needed.

I chose two types of ammo because I have a feeling slug rounds will be easier to obtain from the shooting school and also be useful in looting locked buildings.

Most of the survival/hygene gear I already own, getting hold of the iodine from a school and the med bag from the local Boots. Map would change depending on where I headed (whether alone or in a group.)

The boiler suit is just a place-holder - on the one hand it would be practical and easy enough to take care of, but really I'd probably just have a cozy jumper and some worn in jeans. The storm cloak, hat, boots and kefyeh would come from a milsurp store in the neighbouring city. The facemask and goggles I own, they're really for dealing with hordes to protect from blood spray etc.

Honestly the only problem is a watch. I'd be using my phone for as long as there were car batteries or any sort of other power around, but after that I'd find a decent one on a zombie or a corpse, since fuck going into the city center to a shop.

Un-shown here is a fucktonne of batteries and a multimeter. The meter would help with various things such as testing buildings for power, setting electric traps and sorting out the whole car battery for power thing. You can use a pencil as a resistor to make it into a near standard current (will find tutorial if anyone wants it.)

I'd try to round my niggas from a certain underground circle and begin a new civilization centralized in natural leadership with urban applied sociology instead of politics and marketing. From there recruit those who are deemed good and loyal enough.

I'd become something like a philosopher king of the wastes, however, instead of sitting on my comfy ass fort like a dorf, I'd create several trap filled forts in secret or hard to find locations. Tunnels, roads and passages would be controlled by me. I'd put spies on every faction I could, and direct those that are too dangerous towards their doom.

If I succeed in this endeavor, my first overt move will be to eliminate all the rider gangs in an area the size of California in three days.

And call me Santa because if you have been good boys and girls someone may drop a cache of raider contraptions and weapons at your doorstep.

Whoa you jumped to being a king already, what qualifies you for that?

>>5445

Clearing out an area the size of California in 3 days of all gangs etc.? California itself is larger than some nations, has absolutely massive urban concentrations in certain parts, tons of wilderness and places to hide, etc. etc.

Sorry to break it to you, but if the US military was at full strength during a full blown zombie apocalypse, there's no way even they could clear an area the size of california in three days.

You could maybe do it if the whole area was deserts or plains, with few cities or towns.

First off if this sergeantbrucewillis guy holds no military awards or honors I take it as an insult you try and use that handle,your tone is arrogant and silly in a place like this,BOY! second you kids need to look beyond the hipster crap of these zombies today and look to the fathers,zombies have the numbers always the idea,third i fall in the school of ROTLD where zombies being dead feel constant pain and only eating brains helps quell that pain.I realize this is just fapping to a world none of you could handle,like learning karate and expecting to use it a street fight! sure we can sit here all day,dicks in our hands but until shit goes down all the fluff you tactical ideals mean diddly...

I realize this is just havin fun making shit up, ive enjoyed reading this discussion greatly,and at its core there is fun to be had here.Zombies are humans and subject to human faults even in death and to try and quantify it is absurd.

Sounds more like an alien virus scenario, with people's minds being taken over by an infectious agent.

If they truly have as much ingenuity as humans I think it might be the end of the race.

1. I've already planned a hypothetically retreat - Strid Wood in Yorkshire. It's quiet, attractive, the nearby camping site can be used for expansion, and there are a lot of pre-existing natural and man made defenses.
2. Bum supplies from the local camp site. Set up a quick wire fence defense through the woods, which will deflect docile zombies passing through.
3. Start searching for survivors.
4. Swot up on pre-industrial trades, such as farming, textiles and smithing, seeing as how in the ensuing decades this will be the main staple of human survival, once most fuel and machinery deteriorates beyond use (this will happen within the space of a single generation).
5. Find means to preserve literature and educate the next generation. It will be the key to surviving long term, especially as although the population will be far too small to get things like sophisticated machinery and mass production working, eventually you will get to that stage and won't want to have to reinvent every god damn thing because all the books over the next hundred years or so have turned to mush.

1. pack up my boat and check the nearby islands for zombies or survivors, pick the emptiest island
2. set up a camp and some simple fortifications
3. use my walkie talkie to check for nearby survivors to save
4. try to create a network of safe spots
5. sail to a town nearby that has a camping supply store and loot it/trade with possible survivors
6. found a central (fortified) place where survivors can gather, rest during their travels and prepare to reconquer the lands from the undead horde
7. build simple instalations that are able to turn rotten garbage into fuel
8. gather a militia to undertake actions like clearing villages from zombies to turn them in to safe strongholds
9. find a place where a vaccine can be developed
so how do you guys like my plan?

I like the Dead Rising series

>Mine would have to be stealing a Fire-truck and using the high pressure water hose to tear apart the zombies.
Amateur, get a fire-truck, fill the water-tank with gasoline I'll let you figure the rest....

Do the Zeds know how to operate these weapons?

How do they bring the Zombies to fight each other?

Supply warehouses are what most market chains uses nowadays to get their products. Basically real easy to find. Industrial parks is what I'd look for things that I can build with. Earlier I mentioned junkyards they're easy to get into without any hassle.

>raiding after z-day, like all the other plebs who say they're gonna run to walmart/academy/bubba's hunting supplies/the mall (god forbid)
>not having your supplies stocked beforehand
Have fun being trampled or shot because Jamal had his hand on the can of beans first and you wouldn't let go.
Honestly though, I'd grab a bunch of cash and go to the stores no-one would think to loot (specialty stores and the like, just some fun shit i couldn't afford before the habbening) just to get out and get some action but not too far in danger's way. If there's no cashier i just leave the money (it'll be useless soon anyways) and if there's actually a cashier there, I'll leave the brave sonofabitch manning his post a weapon that I don't really need that might help him out, like a spare crowbar that i'd have in my bag or something.

We roleplayed through this scenario as a tabletop RPG. My group decided to first raid a nearby store which stocked both food and hunting ammo. That was an obvious choice.

The more interesting choice was the second place we raid -- an adult novelty store. We went there looking for batteries, but we came away with all sorts of handy stuff. Those vinyl costumes are surprisingly bite-resistant.

I think its really cool to see someone with downs syndrome working so hard to get active whilst taking on a hobby. I salute you friend.

I know; I'm a champion. It's so cool that you can admit your jealousy like that over my excellence and how much better I am than you.

Toxoplasmosis is carried by a third of the world. would that be enough?

>>4431

zombification as a way to prolong life for people with terminal diseases as they remain functioning for longer before actual death

symptoms may include....
etc etc etc, umbrella corporation profiteers off it like a regular pharmaceutical company :>

Cancer has a strange quality where the primary tumor releases cells into the blood stream and forms secondary sites,
>these are generally benign and otherwise undetectable, but when the primary tumor is removed it triggers a chemical marker that activates the secondary sites. Hence why we use chemotherapy before and after surgery: eliminate those secondary sites before they turn into another tumor (and hopefully before killing he patient).

The highlighted portion is not how metastases works, and 'chemical markers' is not the reason for therapies being used following surgery. A benign tumor does not infiltrate other tissues, only grows in place sometimes putting physical pressure on surrounding organs and blocking ducts or whatever.
A malignancy infiltrates other tissues, and portions break away (embolise) into the bloodstream or lymph vessels and spread throughout the body. This is the reason why lymph nodes closest to tumor sites are biopsied: they are like strainers and cancer cells will stick there if they've made their way inside a vessel. Before a primary tumor is noticed the metasteses may have spread significantly, but is still undetectable. Depending on cancer type they can continue to grow slowly until someone who was in remission has a recurrence with the secondary sites growing and causing new problems.
Cancer cells are not intelligent, and do not communicate with each other. They're cells that can't self-destruct due to damage to that portion of their DNA.
