Question

Could You Survive An Apocalypse..?

I'd be okay for a bit but once my insulin runs out I'd be pretty much fucked :(

If it wasn't for my diabetes though I'd be fine and would have no problems surviving. I'm a decent shot with either a bow or gun and would have no problems killing other people so that I could live. I can also make a fire too without a problem, and know how to make a battery and a water filter from everyday items.

For a battery you just need some nails and copper wire. Bang the nails into the ground and connect the wire to each nail. Boom. There's a battery.

A water filter? Easy peasy. Get yourself a bin, some charcoal and some sand. Puncture the bottom of the bin, bang a few holes in it, fill it up with alternating layers of sand and charcoal. Boom. Water filter.

That last one will probably save your life once the zombies/bombs start appearing, if you're out there and you see any insulin please feel free to drop some off to me to return the favour B) :D

    One sort of apocalypse that hasn't been done enough is a vampire apocalypse. If @vannagirl was a vampire she could feed on me any time she wants...just as long as she turns me so that we could spend eternity together :heart:

    I have a small personal Armory and I have basic survival skills so I'll probably last awhile as long as I have ammo. I also have a Barrett m82a1.50 cal and currently have about 120 rounds left so for people trying to get on my property, body armor is optional. :D

    I'm not a prepper though, most of what I own is shotguns and hunting rifles but I should be able to secure food unless it's nuclear/biological attack then I'm f'd like everyone else.

    I've played more than enough video games to know how to survive an apocalypse. And I'm not a bad shot with a pistol and rifle in real life, either.

    LOL if the zombies were like walking dead - you might have some problems in the early days in large cities - but long as you took out more zombies than was bit - you win as a human race. Really, the infection would be over before we knew it except in large pocket cities. As other pointed out - the big reason is that they are slow - so just walking in and out a small firing groups would be more than enough to kill them much like we see with micro fighting in starcraft killing zealots.

    On the other hand - I feel like 28 day later zombie like would be more real. Where they run at you and are smart enough to know how some things work like doors. Now that would be different and could take us by surprise enough to cause major problems.

    On the other hand - more real life threat like nuclear/biological would be more than enough to kill most of the world. Not much you can prepare for those type of attacks. Even if you do have a bunker - you wouldn't have mear mins or seconds to get in there before it just wipe out everything.

    Well if it's a Zombie apocalypse and they are anything like they are in "The Walking Dead". Then I'd just go about my daily life as if nothing had changed. The Zombies in that series are about as slow as a tortoise with arthritis and would be just a minor inconvenience.



    Yep, you'd be one of the first to die! lol

    Everyone who makes the mistake of thinking that they will live by default just because Zombies are slow end up dead. Zombies never tire, and unless you can run forever without stopping for rest, food, and water, then you're gonna be in big trouble. It doesn't matter if they're slow when a horde of 100,000 stand between you and survival.

    I don't think snowdog would even know that the apocalypse is happening. He'd probably still be in his room working on his VR Game

    They actually nicked that idea from someone else. Someone did a similar thing years ago, might have even been before the Rift launched. In the original he got a box delivered with a free headset and the guy who delivered it turned up with a mate and robbed him. They even took his dog or cat in the original lol :D
