What Do You Do For Fun?

Well Saturday night is date night for me so out with the g/f. Friday night I typically find whatever I can whether it's just hanging out playing video games or going into the city depends on my mood and what people are doing.

I plan for the zombie apocalypse. You gotta be prepared.

My plan is, simply put, to follow the river near my house, in a canoe, to the marina, then steal one of the rental boats, siphon out all the gas I can, jack the fishing equipment, and sail down to one of the uninhabited Florida Key's where I can fish and hunt baby miniature dear to my heart's content.

If there's a zombie apocalypse...that stupid oil well will never get plugged. Gulf Fishing as a primary food source might not work out too well. Even way down in the keys. Oil poising might not kill you, but it sure can make you sick. And following World War Z mythos...zombies can walk under water, which makes sense. They don't need air. Islands might not be all that safe. They would, however, be the best option. Easy to fortify and defend.

Aside from the fact that there is no natural source of water...this would be the perfect place to hold up -- Fort Jefferson on Garden Key...one of the Dry Tortuga Islands.



I, too, think about my options with Z scenarios. All are rather grim.

Personally I work out at the Gym which gets the kiddos to play with their friends. Beside that I play with my kids often. Every two weeks I either go out on a date with my wife or so some odd activity that might involve hanging out with a old friend, go to a campsite, visit family or whatnot.

In my spare personal time I have a choice of working on StarCraft: Legacy projects, which I enjoy very well, work on personal projects, game or simply web-browse. All of which allow me to step away at a moment's notice if I need to take care of the kiddos. It's just kinda nice to see them essentially be self-sufficient.

For me, fun involves a good video game, a good novel or a good movie. I also enjoy swimming, long walks and spending time with my wife, playing with my little dog (Pomeranian) and contemplating the pros and cons of having a kid. My wife and I discuss this subject almost daily.

I think distilling seawater for just a few people to survive off of is much easier than it's made out to be. I would imagine that the rig would be something like a pan of seawater, a sloped piece of plastic or something overhead, and another pan to collect the water. As the sea water evaporates it would hit the plastic ( I say plastic because it can't absorb water) then roll down to the edge (water can stick to something long enough to flow). when it hit's the edge it will fall into the 2nd pan, and there you go , fresh water, plus salt for preserving any meat you may come across. According to the zombie survival guide, your biggest issue on an Island would actually be other humans, like raiders, and hostile survivors. Ability to ward off other people, and evacuate in an instant is probably crucial as a result. I think Max Brooks is exaggerating though, raiders won't use island's too much, the gas to get from mainland to island is a big hit, and sailboats may be too slow to be a very good option.

Agreed on all points. Without some heavy weaponry, it would be hard to hold this fort against attacking humans.

Against Zombies though, you would need only a very light defense...a few heavy caliber machine guns and some high-powered sniper rifles would be adequate. For close quarters, you might want some lobos and magnums...just in case you have to make a fighting retreat.
