“When it doubt, overload.”
“When in doubt, empty the magazine.”
Old sayings of little value.
Worked for me.....
When the zombies get to your AO, they will be thinned out, but highly skilled.
Agree....
I stockpile the iodized salt for two reasons. Prepping and Kimchee. It takes a cup of salt every time I make kimchee. Yum. Made some (radish) kkakdugi last week. It's one way I tempt my daughter to visit. She loves kimchee and she is cheap. Free kimchee? visit dad.
Sugar is relatively cheap to stockpile, so no problem even if I never get around to using it. I have it mainly as a potential barter item.
I don't bake, but doesn't yeast have a limited storage life?
I love Kimchee. I have 2 gallon jars fermenting right now!
Uhm - no but my TR-3 could do AM already ;-)
I gotcher six, Eaker. We have much in common (except maybe the goat thing... we don’t have any goats.)
Made some serious preps for the Southern Utah FReeper Picnic / Shoot at the Thunderbird with Pete-R-Bilt today. Put some well deserved touches on the Turdmobile. It’s a 454 Chevy bread truck with a kitchen and beds. Hey, maybe we could fry chicken wings and sell them out the side to cover fuel on the way to Thunderbird!
I had to put my foot down with my boys, though... one carbine, one pistol each. Last year it took several days of M-Pro7 and MiliTech just to recover from the weekend.
We’re thinking one target stand for sighting in, and a thousand fluorescent clays for the shoot. We’re at high range fire risk, so no steel cores - only jacketed lead. Still, it’ll be a hoot. And yet again, when the local herd of mule deer wander across the live fire range, we’ll cease fire.
Projected weather for next weekend: mid 80’s day, mid 60’s night. I’m taking my new Nikon... pics on the hoof, and I’ll post them once we’re back home.
Take care. Be safe.
Perhaps, but they’ll also be hungry and tired.
IMO it really comes down to chance. You can prepare as best you can but that doesn’t mean you won’t face a superior force.
The biggest advantage the zombies will have over most civilized people is they won’t hesitate to kill.
Easily a year in your pantry. Five years maybe ten in the freezer.
There is an information systems analog / similar thought paradigm to OODA, called ‘agile.’
1. Thank you!
2. Check it out, you and Travis appreciate the cyclical perfection pattern. If OODA can work for business systems, perhaps ‘agile’ could work in tactics. Reverse engineering Sun Tzu?

A main point of these discussions is that we should prepare as best as we are able with the realization that no amount of preparation is enough & things will never play out as expected.
Don’t set limits on what you are willing to do to survive beforehand. And don’t assume there are any limits to what “they” will do to survive.
well thanks
Uh, rereading your post and mine I see that I basically repeated what you already said. Not too clever of me, was it? Sorry,
This:
I make my own cheese, i suppose you could buy cheese already made and rewax it (http://www.cheesemaking.com/WaxingCheese.html) but i would think that it would be just as cheep to buy a round of cheese from a local producer or creamery.
I make my own because i can make my favorite for $2 a pound versus $35 a pound at the local cheesemonger
