Z.E.S.S.T. Zombie Encounter Strike & Survival Team

If you were in a big city, Memphis, LA, St. Louis where would you go!

First, please use the proper punctuation marks. Second, please don't use IM speak. I live near LA. I would go to the Scientology HQ just because I think it would be ironic. In all seriousness, I would find a nice brick building with more than two floors and barricade as well as I can. Either that or I would travel to Hollywood and take a nice tour of the film studios. They have pleanty of supplies and more than enough space inside the building to qualify as a meaningful HQ.

That would be pretty ironic and I live 2 hours from Memphis so I would go to the railroad depot because a lot of the rail cars are close together and to other flat roofed buildings plus there's a security office there with a couple weapons I could use.

Thank you for changing the name (unless it was someone else). That would be cool, however are you planning to live on the roof of the train cars or is it as a means of just moving about?

not sure what you meant by the moving out part and yes i did change it if you mean what i think you mean then yes its kinda like i would be jumping from one car to another they are like 20ft high

Yeah, moving about is basically going by foot jumping from car to car.

i live in phoenix suburbia so i'm pretty much screwed. but i would make a mad dash for the ocean if i could

Why the ocean? The sea is even that much more dangerous.

assuming that the zombies cant swim or float, i would go there to escape the mass migrations from one place to another until i could get to a safe house in (relatively) more safety. or i could sail to Alaska.

I wouldn't assume anything when it comes to zombies. If I was going off of assumptions I would have to assume that zombies will never be a problem at all. I feel the chance that it is possible for zombies to float is probably fairly high since humans are fairly buoyant, and if they can float all it would take to swim is flailing their limbs about. Not the best example of swimming but it would probably be comparable to all my attempts at swimming. And as NIE mentioned the ocean does seem much more dangerous, if you combine the dangers of the ocean with the dangers of zombies, well that just sounds a bit too much like some nightmares I used to have.

CharlsNChrg why Alaska

for anyone that does not already know my plan. i'm heading over to North dakota. farming,winters, good defense plan. all i need in one place. jsut ask me about it

I still say Alaska is a horrible location to go to since it is very dangerous territory. Do you know how to sail? It is very complicated to navigate a sailboat properly. Not to add that you need special gear and knowledge of navigation for sea travel. Most of today's sailboats are equipped with high tech navigation systems instead of normal compass/ map tools. These gadgets run off of battery, but if you have ever been on a sailboat, there is normally absolutely no means of recharging this gear unless you have gasoline. I suggest training yourself in engineering techniques and take a few sailing lessons if this is really what you want to do.

uh yeah that...hey NIE you got a website for that engineer stuff

I will be posting Engineer information on S.O.S. Phoenix when the site is fully configured. If you are in a rush to start learning, I suggest the following websites: http://www.instructables.com/ http://www.thesolarplan.com/articles/your-own-solar-panel-collector.html http://ezinearticles.com/?How-to-Make-Electricity-at-Home-by-Building-a-Wind-or-Solar-Device&id=2436862 http://www.afrotechmods.com/reallycheap/batteries/batts.htm http://www.zyra.org.uk/battery.htm The list goes on. If you would like to know anything else, feel free to ask or send me a message. I do believe my email is readily available on my profile.

thank you I appreciate it

No worries. Though I do warn you that these links only cover a very small amount of engineering information out there. Engineering is a necessary evil. It is a burden, yet an absolutely valuable trait to know.

Me and my friends have a very thaught out plan to go to a bridge. not just a bridge. It is called a vertical lift bridge. and im lucky enough to have one near where i live. Basicly our plan is to load up guns and supplys, half of us go take trailers and moter homes and park them on this bridge. the other half goes to a dock nearby and get boats. Then drive the boats and tie them up near the bridge. Then we everyone on the midsection of the bridge, tie on a ropeladder and raise the bridge up. The zombies cannot climb it hopefully, and if they do we can just shoot them off. How will we get supplys? we climb down the ropeladder into the boats, and drive to docks with Forces of about 5 people fully armed and raid neerby food, and supply stores. (this little paragraph isnt in full detail if you have any questions or comments feel free) always room for improvement. The link doesnt seem to work. but just Google a vertical lift bridge and you'll get the idea (Check out my post in the "Bases" Discussion)

What about snipers on top of the motor homes. 3 on one and three on the other barricade. Sounds like a good idea.
