you knew about the outbreak from one of the "prisioners" of st. thresa, and you began to prepare. aside from commissioning your own bunker. what woud you do to your home/ haven. one story or two? basement? armerment, food, sewage disposal? i wanna hear what you would do.
me? gather all the food and seeds i can and get some soil from outside so i can create a sustainable food source, plastic bags for dew collection/ poutable water. and a makeshift latrene in the closet with a hole cut through the floor ( not goin down there might as well crap on some zombie heads) gather toolbox, medkit, and weaponry and head upstairs as well as any extras within a 72 hour peroid.
then i'm blocking off the stairs with matresses, furniture and anything else i can find.
if i had some extra time i might make a ballista and some javelin bolts for it as a side proj. :P
now we wait for the siege.... metal ball on rope= siege kills from 2nd floor; i got all the time in the world to improve my aim and this conserves ammo from projectile weapons.
lets hear what my fello strategists think out there.
I like the idea of a place in the country and not in the snow zone. Some place with an orchard on site and right next to a river for fish. As far as the stairwell goes I'd dismantle it completely. The metal ball on a rope is a great idea that would save a ton of ammo and provide amusement. I was also thinking a compressor driven springboard that would launch fleshies twenty some odd feet in the air. But yeah, I like your style.
