What is your one horrible weakness in a Zpoc? You'll be surprised to hear mine

Ok, I have the skills, the equip, the location, etc in real time in the real world. As I have mentioned many times, I live 100% off grid in the Rockies.

So what's my biggest fear or weakness? What scares the shit out of me?

I wear glasses.  I am horribly myopic to the point that without corrective lenses I can see clearly only about 8 inches in front of me.  Genuine coke bottles!  Typically I wear contacts and have several pairs of glasses on hands. 

 But contacts eventually break down and get rips, pin holes or rough edges.  And they have an expiration date, wherein the plastics also get weaker the older they get, even unopened, so they don't last as long and would be kinda worthless after 10-15 years of stockpiling. And they have maintantence issues with cleaning, solution, etc.

 And glasses get scratched up, break or are easily ripped off your face. Plus they impede your vision during rain and get fogged up easily  (Try wearing glasses in a gas mask sometime)

This concerns me to the point that I have seriously considered Lasik, because this is my one big Achilles' Heel in life.  Especially when it comes to night vision, I'd be absolutely useless without glasses on or contacts in.  I could see well enough during the day to drive a car, but not well enough to scout the horizon or shoot and actually hit something.

So, what is your Achille's Heel - what is your one horrible weakness that may end up causing your demise or swing the advantage against you in a disaster or Zpoc?

I have been bored to the point of laziness. Give me interesting problems to solve and I am useful and engaged. Tell me to do repetitive tasks or intense physical labor and I am probably going to drift off. I am much better using my brain than my body. Although I have never been in a life-or-death situation, hopefully its not TOO boring.
a tie between the fact that I live in the north of Australia so the zombies wouldn't get frostite in winter, the fact that I'm a heavy sleaper and the fact that I have decent cardio, but no upper body strength.
I wear glasses, but I can see OK without them. I am well armed, prepaired and have a plan in place. My biggest weakness is that I am quiet, deeply anti-social (Unless you count things like this), and Impatient.
I have one really big one now that i think about it... I'm Not immortal.... i should work on that... any idea where i can get onethousand Virgins?
vertigo. thou not the puking crippling kind. i get a little dizzy and light headed. but if i slow down and clear my head i can get past it. not a easy thing to do if you got zombies up your rear.
I wear glasses and or contacts... I cant see shit without them.....other than that I am good. its fire season by my house so I have to have a duffle bag that holds my 2 handguns and my mossberg 590 12 gauge as well as ammo and first aid supplies and any other tools I may need on the go...with the exception of food and water my house was evacuated last year and people we panicing on the streets my sister got robbed at gun point when we had to leave. So needless to say im prepared this time im ready to leave my house on a moments notice with a bag full of guns, ammo, and all gear to keep me and those guns functioning for a very long time. If zombies come bring it on I got enough ammo to fuck some shit up! but sadly eventually we would all die its just simple numbers they are going to out number us by very big numbers.
Bad car wreck in 2003 that kinda F'ed up my leg and also ended my law enforcement career, drunk T-boned my patrol car...was in a coma for four day and don't remember shit four days prior to or after the wreck.
So now when I'm in my feet to long the leg will start hurting like hell or after a two mile jog I'm done for the day...limp city! that's my only real fear and why if and when Z-day happens, you will more then likely see me waving good bye from my boat
I don't think things through I have a tendency to charge into things guns blazing, literaly and figurativly, and get myself into a lot of trouble before I can do anything about it.
yeah, that could prove fatal - surrounded by zed's yellin' ''this one is for the Gipper''
Fears and weaknesses, well, the glasses part. I know for a fact that I can go without very little food for almost 2 weeks. But I would fear the most going through the zombie apocalypse by myself. If I lost my husband and I was force to live on my own, I think I would go crazy and do something stupid and get myself killed, or worse, eaten. I am not saying that I am a weak female, but he is handy with tools, and he is great at bouncing ideas with. I think together we can make it, if not til the end, at least for a very long time.
Glasses (and I mean really thick glasses.. half inch thick X_X ), being fat.. kinda. And the fact that I am 24/7/365 sick so I can barely breathe and stuff like that. But nah, the thing that is probably gonna kill me is the fact that I love loud music.. so I'll die growling and shredding a guitar with my headphones on.. so I won't even notice the zombies. But hey, atleast I'll die happy!
