    I tried to start a conversation in the chatbox about black powder. I am intent on finishing a ball mill to be able to make my own black powder.

    Yes you can make a bow from lumber. interested parties can pick up the Bowyers Bible. I am also intent on building a large crossbow with a leaf spring out of a pickup truck.

    Looking into blacksmithing too. Own blades for defense and useful in the construction of battle rigs. Go offence!
    Though if the infected are alive...
    How dreadful to know how many you killed in haste looking back knowing that they could have been saved.

    Does rocking the Claw Machine a worthy apocalyptic talent?

    mem,
    I can not find the quote online from Braveheart. Help me out here, ehe?

    Bar,
    Is it as easy as that? More than one movie has a "pet" zombie even with a heavy overtones of a kill em all attitude. Is there no one you would save? I know I don't have the ability or resources to "save" an infected loved one but I would be sorrowful when/if there were a "cure" that came out soon after I went out of my way to swath down hoards of zed heads.

    If I may quote myself from a post at a different thread:

    "Next stop? [after securing food supplies] Sports Authority. Check their page out: http://www.sportsauthority.com/categ...tdoor%20Gear_5
    Think of the body protection and alternative weaponry (alternative to guns) you could find there! I'd think of some sort of cleats for good traction (anyone who's played footbal, baseball or soccer knows what a HUGE difference cleats make when running)."

    I'm totally with ya' HaveCrowbarWillTravel. Bullets run out, ammo can be scarce. I think that in addition to projectile weaponry I would keep a very large stash of melee weapons. As a matter of fact, I'd keep one strapped to me at all times.
    Taking inspiration from Dead Rising 2, I'd also try to combine some to increase damage potential.

    TASM out...

    As stated in my main response to this thread... raid a sports store... Sports Authority for example. Plenty of pre-assembled bow in stock... and other goodies.

    TASM out...

    I wasn't going to post on an old thread, but I feel I can add something. I teach military operations in an urban environment one week every 10 to a bunch of civilians trying to be soldiers. Myself and the other drill sergeants talk about zombie stuff a lot. I know personally I would always keep something with a blade for cutting (not Zs or people, but stuff like seat belts or MREs), something small to break windows (my work knife actually has a small pointed part on the butt of the knife for shattering windshields), and something for bashing skulls or breaching locked wooden doors. At work we have what's called a hooligan tool that would work perfectly, but it's a little large. An extendable baton works awesome and is pretty easy to carry without adding much weight or bulk. Overall, I wouldn't want something too heavy to swing quickly or bladed that could get stuck in a Z.
