My zombie survival plan
Age- 16
Height- 6'1''
Sex-Male
Medium length hair, which is to be cut upon the news of an outbreak
Build, moderate muscle,
I would likely hear about the zombie attack
Allies: My friend, is essentially the same as me, except that he is half of a foot shorter, can sprint slightly faster, has not done much parkour at all, is a year younger, and therefore has little experience in driving, and already has very short hair.
Abilities:
I can jog 5 miles and then I would have to rest for a half hour, and then I would be able to jog another 5 miles, and I could continue this cycle another 3 times and then I would only be able to walk the rest of the day until the next day. I can run at a sprinting pace for 10-15 minutes and then I would need to rest for a half hour before sprinting again. I can bicycle at a fairly fast speed for almost all day. I have been practicing parkour, and buildering for just under a year, I am somewhat proficient in both, I can take a 10 foot fall quite well, can jump over walls four feet tall if I have a 10 foot running start, if the walls are around 3.5 feet I can make the jump with a 5 foot running start. Loss of sleep does not affect me much. Essentially no proficiency in guns, aside from knowledge of their upkeep and use.
Transport and weapons:
I have access to an electric scooter and a Toyota Camry, both of them are very quiet, and would attract few zombies. I have enough food in my house to last me a few months, so food would be no immediate problem. I have a machete, it is the only battle ready melee weapon that I own, I also have a wooden baseball bat, I would use that as well. I also own a longbow and a crossbow, my friend and I can use both somewhat proficiently, we have been practicing for only a few months now. I have 100 arrows and 100 bolts.
Location:
State- Florida. My location may present a small problem in the long run, and somewhat in the short run. I live about a mile outside of town, 3 blocks away from a retirement area, with roughly 200 people who could become zombies, and pose a threat, can walk, not paralyzed wheelchair bound, etc. Some of them would be made up of 60-90 year old zombies,and some would be the many younger volunteers who would likely be in that area. I am 45 miles away from Orlando, a fairly highly populated area. Eventually zombies could make their way towards me, and Miami is 266 miles away. Jacksonville is 109 miles out, 203 miles away is Tallahassee. These areas would likely contain large areas of infestation, and the areas around them are fairly highly populated, the area I am in has a low population for 50 miles in every direction excluding the Orlando area. My town's limits has a population of 20,000 people, that will probably become around 8000 zombies and less than 2000 people, if that.
Plan-
When I hear about the zombie attack, I would either call my friend over, he lives just a few houses over, and then he could help me with the preparations, We would take all of my food, and store it in my attic, we would then store all 10 of my 10 gallon water containers filled with water in the attic. We would fill up all of the sinks, the washing machine, and bathtubs with water, and cover them with saran wrap to keep the water clean. We would then store my 2 full 5 gallon gasoline containers in the attic as well. The attic is not very noticeable if a looter was to intrude, they would be unlikely to notice the 2.5'by 2.5' panel which once moved leads to the attic, it is about 9 feet up off the ground, and is accessible by either the ladder that I keep within 10 feet, or by opening the closet door nearby, climbing it, and pushing the panel out of the way and climbing it. If I had to hurry after concealing the ladder which I will do to prevent any looters from thinking that I have an attic with possibly something to loot. The attic's layout is about 35 feet by 12 feet, and it has wooden boards covering the floor instead of a finished floor. Once my attic is stocked I would then take the Toyota and my friend downtown either as soon as possible if the owners have fled, if they stand their ground due to their lack of knowing about the invasion I always have ample money stashed somewhere for buying all of the things I would need, or at first light the next morning if there are zombies everywhere, we will eventually wait for the zombies to pass, and if the streets are not covered with crashed cars, then I take the electric scooter and we will just carry 5 backpacks and a duffel bag. We will bring the bat and machete, carrying only in the bags are the lock picking devices, and if the lock fails to be picked, then we will cut away the glass, and open the door from the inside.
There is a shop where we can pick up better melee weapons, which are quite useable in battle, if we are forced to use them, I would break into it and pick up 2 katanas, a block down, is a gun shop where we can pick up whatever we can carry, 500 bullets or more, for 8 pistols, all the same type, likely 9mm or some other common handgun and silencers we will also obtain 2 rifles, with scopes and silencers, and 500 bullets for them. The next store will be a health food store where we will grab as many meal replacement powders as they own, once all of the canned foods and other meal replacements in my house run out in about a year or so, we will begin to live off of the newly obtained ones.
The final store will be the ace hardware, where we will fill up the bags with whatever space is left with seeds for growing food when we can no longer forage from the stores we will begin growing food in the backyard of my neighbors, dead, I presume, and we will grow plants there, I know the soil can support life, as I already have 8 orange trees in my backyard, which would help with both prevention of thirst, starvation, and scurvy. We also could gather even more oranges from a large grove about 3 miles away. It is about 2x2 miles, there is another smaller one 4 miles out about 1x1.5 miles large, both have fences which we could have little problems with, and we would be able to live off mainly oranges, with meal replacements and whatever else we can grow, me and my friend have ample experience in growing our own food, the grown crops would add some variety to our diet, we would grow vegetables and nuts, for assorted minerals from the vegetables, and mainly protein from the nuts. I have enough herbicide for some of the
crops, but more would have to be obtained eventually, either from ace hardware, or possibly from Lowes, which I would like to avoid, as the Ace hardware is fairly large.If I need replacement tools, then I will also obtain them from here. We would also have been setting out rain barrels for water for ourselves and the crops, there are many places where I could obtain them, all within 3 miles.
