“Hell, yes, they should’ve! I keep yelling at the TV”

Isn’t that what this whole show is about? Yelling at the TV because of the continuous stupidity of what’s left of the human race, particularly Rick’s bunch?

For example, why can nobody in Rick’s group drive anything more complicated than a Volvo station wagon? Why not scrape out a dry moat around the prison with a D-9? The zombies would have just all walked into the pit and never made it to the fence. Pit fills up? Scrape ‘em out again with the D-9.

Why not go on a supply run to a nearby armory and fetch all the ammo and automatic weapons you could possibly ever need? After all, Bonnie and Clyde did that all the time.

And while you’re at the armory, get a few humvees, 6x6 trucks, some diesel tanker trucks, form a convoy and head north right before winter when the zombies all turn into zobiecicles.

Ah, well, stupid show is as stupid show does.

the other thing is why aren’t people using bladed weapons and hammers a lot more than the guns? They always bitch about the noise attracting unwanted attention from everything. Plus ammo isn’t abudant. They need to get swords. They also should have everyone going outside wearing armor or at least some kind of shielding to fend off an errant walker or two. Yeah it’s hot but damn, evveryone should always have SOME water with them on a belt too.

If they did all that, a lot of their problems would be taken care of-—hence, no drama. It’s entertainment, not a survival documentary.

Expand that. Why not use the natural terrain or a man-made large excavation, such as a quarry? Basically a big hole with a loud and noisy speaker to attract the walkers in a pit? A honey pot? Draw them in for miles. Immolate, rinse and repeat.

An armory would be the first place a lot of people go to. Ever thought of that?

Probably somebody smarter and well organized ALREADY got there first.

Also Bulldozers run on fuel, which also would be hard to scavenge...

And since all the easily obtained ammo has already be spent(and no more being created), one has to make do with one finds..
