CDC giving advice on preparing for Zombie Apocalypse

Notice the lack of mentioning weapons and ammo?????
Click to expand...
Head shots on Zombies with a rifle/pistol,will likely be beyond most folks' skill level... (Still looking for a good Katana; myself)... (I recommend bear spray instead of firearms to/for most folks).

I favor alternate uses for camping gear to help in many/most disasters.
IMO folks should emulate the preparations of the Latter Day Saints (LDS) RE: disaster preparations... (One can for me, one for the pantry; each trip to the market)... store what you typically eat.

Here is a link to a LDS preparedness manual; Note: I am not amember and do not promote many of their ideas but they have some good ones;

Decorative, preferably antique, 'though functional oil lamps (and gallons of lamp oil...) can help illuminate the habitation ...
A post hole digger and a 5 gal. bucket without a bottom with a hole in the top; in the back yard can handle some sanitary issues.
People in unsustainable urban area have made their choices.

Several cases of water (dutifully replenished and rotated) will help short term thirst issues.
Learn to bake bread... does your camping gear provide an oven?

Enjoy!

During the late 70's into the early 80's being from Utah, I bought into the whole food storage quest. I had lbs & lbs of stored wheat, a grist mill (never mind that it was electric), bottled fruit & veggies, cans of every edible item I could imagine. I was ready after a few dedicated years of planning. Everything was stored in my basement.

Then the canal company failed to empty the canals and the frost took over. Filled up the canals with ice so nothing could move through it, including the runoff so my house flooded! Everything was ruined and the extension service mandated that we dump everything because the microbes could get under the lids making them toxic.

Everything was dumped in my garden area for the following growing season. 100's if not 1,000's of dollars were now fertilizer. So much for planning and trying to outguess Mother Nature. Lost my desire to remain a believer had more fun enjoying my Sundays with no commitments or tie.
