Could You Protect Yourself?

Let's say the zombie apocalypse or war breaks out in our country tomorrow.  Could you protect yourself and your family?  What do you think you need in order to survive?

Re: Could You Protect Yourself?

  • Hecks yes I could. I'm a ninja yo.

     

    I heard on the radio today that a professor from Michigan State is going to start offering a 7 week "Surviving the zombie apocalypse" class.

    I would attend that in a heartbeat.

  • I've watched The Walking Dead plenty of times to know how to take care of myself. Not to mention, the new game we have on the ipad2 where we have to help the humans arrive safely in the bunker and kill the zombies (before they reach the bunker of course)  from some sort of aircraft. It's pretty intense.

  • Protect myself and my family?  Probably not.  But I have skills that would be useful after the apocalypse...  Sewing, knitting, weaving, spinning, felting.  I suspect I'd be valued if I could find a group to hang with.

  • Ha ha. 

    I would like to say "Ummm yes!" but I wouldn't ever really know until some sort of zombie apocalypse actually happens.

  • I told M he can go ahead and shoot me because I would just drag him down. I'm not equipped for that kind of thing.

  • I'd like to say "Yes"; but I wouldn't really know unless faced with that situation. And I just don't want to find out.

  • I definitely couldn't, however a very close friend of mine is obsessed with zombies and I'm pretty sure I would flee to his house and be perfectly safe. My best friend and I just had this conversation.

  • I feel like my main tactic would be to go lock myself and the dogs (and H if he's here) up in the attic and just make sure the string to the pull down stairs was lifted up with me . I mean, I don't know how resourceful zombies are, but I feel like they wouldn't be smart enough to get the ladder from the garage, carry it upstairs, place it under the attic stairs, and figure out how to open the door.  Maybe I should start researching how to kill a zombie just in case.

    War?  Yeah, I'd probably be screwed.  And unless they decided to pardon us for H's help in fixing airplanes, I think he would be screwed as well.

  • With out a doubt in either situation.  Being the crazy woman that I am, we have action plans in case of either of those events.

    Ditto! I'd rather be dead than try to survive any sort of apocalypse.
