Bored tonite i was watching youtube and i came across this video in a series of videos sweeping across youtube by "tagging" other members and viewers.

There are some stupid videos out there but a few really good ones such as that one as it stands right now i am in love with those top 2 guns not so much the 1911 and the knife.

so ats posters if you had only 5 things you could bring to the big ZA what would you bring?

not really that you have to zombies come to you they dont have to look really hard to find any.

Cool find, but, who would spend their hard earned money on this most unlikely scenario?

Because those weapons come in handy for much more likely scenarios as well.

everything thing a person buys for a shtf scenario has multiple uses across a broad spectrum of evente that occur on a daily basis.

hurricanes,tornados earthquakes.civil unrest,power outages hey its up to the person what they want to spend their cash on and if you prefer for the government to come save you thats your call.

i like being self reliant and dependent upon noone but myself

Option #1
Well first of all, I would line the outside of my home with treadmills. I would board up all entrances into my house with all sorts of material from wood to traps. Of course, I need two exits so I would create 2 small tunnels underground in order to evacuate if needed or if I am in the need of food. From then on I sit back relax and wait for the zombie's hunger for brains to subside.
Option#2
If zombies are out for brains buy an Obama costume or hide in the White House.

EDIT: I intended first part of the post as a joke and didnt fit the whole "5 things" part of the thread so here are my five.
1. Water as it is very well needed for survival.
2. 9mm glock 19 as I feel this might be the best-fit guns for the occasion that I own
3. A blunt or sharp weapon in case I run out of ammo
4. Food obtaining food while fighting off zombies can be challenging and I don't think zombie would taste good.
5. A survival pack. I feel this may become a necessity if outbreak rates get higher than my kill count.

I would hope that food, medicines, shelters, clothing, would be higher in the supplies that a person would need, rather than weapons.

I am prepared, and would never rely on the governments or fat cats to protect me. I just don't prepare for Zombies, Vampires, Werewolves, etc. Kind of shocked that other people do.

Edit: After a quick search there are alot of other threads about zombies and weapons.

not so much the 1911 and the knife.

You will be in love the knife when your ammo runs out...

On Topic:

The one item I think we can all agree on would be some Zombie Tonic..!

There's gonna be a lot of Wet-Work involved trying to stay alive, and if you can't stay germ free, what's the point..?

Blankets to hide under.
A white flag
A zombie mask to fool them
Medication to stop me sgrieking like a girl as they peer into the house.
Sleeping tablets if all else fails.

without a means of protecting all those food medicine and supplies

you might as well be a zombie

While a gun or 2 would obviously be necessary, their use should be limited because they attract other zombies. I'd rather a larger multi-purpose machete to the knife he has in that video. A digging tool could become very useful if you have to hunker down anywhere -dig trenches to trip up and slow down zombies on the perimeter. it could also be used as a backup debrainer - an e-tool would fit the bill (although its size would make the work a pain in the butt). A baseball bat is a perfect weapon for creating close quarter brain trauma.
Of course, a "lobo" from World War Z would be the best in those scenarios.
Zombie Apocalypse scenarios are fun

You forget of course that a persons house is full of potential weapons, never mind the fact that as long as you have a good mind and some common sense you can put them to good use. Watch any number of revenge movies if you need sources. Fear is one, Straw Dogs is another, and so on. Or you could try my house if TSHTF and see what happens.

yeah it is but sometimes there are better ways to "Reach out and touch someone"

and safer

But if you are already prepared with an assault rifle, you don't need to expend any brain electricity on how to apply your blender in a combat situation

why buy offensive weapons that will eventually become useless. Bullets can only last so long. Id just some steel armor and put like foot long spikes all over it like a porcupine armor, that way even if they touch me they would have to survive being impaled and then be able to bite through steel. plus i would bring a long spear or something. and lots of knives. just go medieval on their asses i say. also i would buy fishing supplies.

On the contrary, you can get all of the above with any of those weapons in that video!

If it's such a bs thing, then why would the cdc tell people to prepare for one?

zombie killing technique.

get behind them and slash their achilles tendons with whatever means you have

a slow zombie is less likely to kill you

alternate method take your knife get behind them and stab the base

of the kneck severing the spinal cord
