What would you do if there was a total doomsday type apocalypse type scenario ?

I would go and find a the first zombie I could find after hearing of the outbreak. Then I would get that mofo to chow down on my leg or something thus becomeing a zombie myself.

After that I would go about achieving the human eating high score and become zombie king of earth.

If anyone seriously thinks having a stockpile of beans/food when a nuke hits will give them a better chance of survial than me.......

Well, unless you're right near the blast site nuclear attacks are not the end of the world. Long term effects can be horrible for some, but a lot of folk from Hiroshima and Nagasaki lived to a ripe old age. One guy even managed to survive both blasts and only died relatively recently.

I'm not volunteering to stand next to any likely targets or drink plutonium tea though. :-)

Anyway, I've kept a decent supply of food and water (water is the hardest part) at home for as long as I can remember. Working in food retail has shown me just how fragile the distribution network is. As long as there's no disruption (even persistent snow) the "just in time" system works fine, but they say civilisation is only about 3 days deep, and I tend to agree.

It costs very little to keep a supply of basics, even if it's only enough for the two weeks or so it might take to re-establish emergency distribution in the case of a Christchurch-like earthquake, reservoir poisoning, Norwegian tsunami, etc. After that... well, if it takes longer than that we're probably screwed anyway, and I live far too close to London to survive the marauding gangs for long. :-)

PS Don't forget to rotate your stuff folk. Especially beans, which can have surprisingly short shelf lives thanks to the acidic tomatoes.

PPS I do have a few silver coins which could be reshaped into crude arrowheads for use against zombies. I do not, sadly, have pipe bombs, and M-16 or a flamethrower... can you still use hairspray and a match? Or will I have to resort to reading passages from the bible (or the SAS survival guide) to try and stop them crossing the threshold?

In which case I would just take out someone who had stockpiled everything, thus doing all the hard work. When the rules go out of the window I don't have to play nice :)

See now someone has stumbled onto my plan....use this forum to seek out people who have stockpiled supplies, and take them out :D maybe we should team up!!

JIT is all well and good when the system is up and running but a break in the supply chain and supermarkets have a couple of days supplies. Most people are blissfully unaware of this and the recent winters should highlight the fragility of it all. In days gone by it was the norm to have a few weeks supplies and even more of the basics ie flour, grain, jam etc for several months and of course people had vegetable gardens to depend on. In fact never before in human history as society been so at risk from systematic failure of the food chain.

if you can grasp the above do yourself a favor and grab a few extra bits next time you shopping and put it a side you might thank yourself one day. And with food price inflation you will save yourself money in the long run anyway.
