@kristen2b, we are a very realistic and doable type of couple. I am as pale as a sheet of printer paper and DH is allergic to nuts and is color blind. So I cannot be in the sun without hissing and crying and he can't forage for nuts or non poisonous berries.
***Trying to conceive since 9/12- m/c 2/13 from natural conception.

@MrsBwIVF this is why you always have a supply of non perishable food that's easy to grab. Throw that shit in a backpack and head out.
As for dogs, yeah, we'd have to let ours fend for themselves. One would bark and draw too much attention to us and the other is too scared to do anything. This probably makes me the most sad about any apocalyptic event.
Just now catching up. I have my plan in place as to what my family would do and how we would survive in the zombie apocalypse. I actually have taken several online quizzes to test my skills and they say I can survive at least 10 years. But the way I figure is if I can make 10 years I could make another 10 years, I'd be a pro by then. I totally would be like Rick Grimes and trust no one and ask the 3 questions before even considering you to be in my group. I mean the newbies he lets in are like on probation for a while until they prove their worth and loyalty. DH laughs at me for getting so serious on the topic but he will be thanking me when I save his ass from becoming a zombie.
@MrsBwIVF I would hate to see you go but people like you and your DH are pretty smart in your own way. I mean y'all have decided that you couldn't make it and would do what is best for you. It's the ones who know they can't make it but still try that will end up just increasing the zombie population. Thank you for your sacrifice (although I really hope it never comes to this because I really like you).
DH and I aren't as prepared as you ladies, but the research is there. DH is OBSESSED with zombie movies. Any and all types. It drives me crazy. But he's got the knowledge, but we just need to lay out a plan.
On the topic of zombie movies - if you haven't seen 'Zombeavers' I would recommend it. However, there is one scene involving a dog that I couldn't get through. If that upsets you just a heads up. :-)
August '18 March Siggy Challenge - You had ONE JOB
Hubs and I were taking a walk on the baordwalk ( back when we lived in jersey) and we were having a very serious detailed discussion about our plan. This went on for 2 miles and I happen to catch a couple that was right behind us laughing the whole time. Jokes on them when we are surviving and they got their flesh bit off and are now roaming around.
Perhaps we should find a central location to make camp together. Bring all of our skills together. LOL
This thread is killing me. I love it. We also talk about a zombie apocalypse and what our plan would be. I think DH is actually pretty serious about it, but I just play along and add my ideas while laughing at him. He also thinks we should eat garlic more often to fend off vampires.
I'm ready for Walking Dead to start again. I like this Fear spinoff so far though.
Forgot to add my irrational fear. Mine is birds. All of them. Birds of prey are the worst, but I even dislike hummingbirds around. Makes me quiver just thinking about them.
@hardlyhannah DH and I did watch that movie and now he won't trust another movie I pick ) my irrational fear is hair that's not attached to a person (not like wigs, but stray hairs) they freak me out.
Was going to quote but I got off the subject so now I got the quote box thing going on...
My only thing is, I don't like guns. I mean I don't like zombies either but I am not experienced with a gun. I think I need a samurai sword. I could do that. I am no good at aiming so I couldn't even do a bow. I need to do something about that. Plus the sword is never out of ammo. Unless I break an arm. Oh God, I need to learn how to shoot, and one handed at that.
@sunny2015 - you're right, that is totally irrational.
@hplunkett2883 - guns are the worst weapons to use against zombies. They run out of ammo! Samurai sword, axe, hatchet, or any kind of blade is the way to go.
Also, cars run out of gas. I don't think TWD takes this consideration as seriously as it probably should. Riding a bike (and keeping a hand pump to fill the tires) is where it's at, y'all.
I keep trying to convince DH that we need to prepare in case of the zombie apocalypse and he keeps letting the gas tank in his truck get down to almost empty! That's great honey, we will have to escape in my car which is so much smaller.
Also, I am highly concerned about not having a stockpile of weapons and freeze-dried food/water.

I didn't think about a hatchet. I do that one handed if need be. But I really want a samurai sword. I just don't want to have to let them get too close to me before killing them. I mean if I am surrounded by a group of zombies I will need some reach. the samurai sword could give me reach. I need one to practice like fruit ninja! But yes I knew that guns run out of ammo. I don't see how TWD hasn't ran out of ammo yet, and where they keep getting gas from. But we all have bikes and we have a hand air pump.
True Fear: I believe all the Meth users will be the zombies. I mean look at the ones who have been on it for a while.
1) they don't sleep
2) they don't eat
3) they hallucinate and have irrational behaviors
4) their teeth are like shrapnel hanging from their gums
5) They have sores all over them (like their skin is falling off)
Seriously I think that drug is going to tweak just a little and BOOM we have our zombies. I know heroin has some of the same effects but it is made from a plant and has been around for decades. Meth is made by chemicals and is fairly new and rising in popularity because it is easy to make and cheap to buy. (I know this because I know someone who was on this drug before... NOT me.)
Thanks to you ladies, DH and I discussed what we'd do if Zombies attacked, last night. We decided neither of us is in shape, I can't live without Internet and tv, we don't know how to provide for ourselves without stores, our good dog would get killed/turned into a zombie (don't know exactly how it works with animals) protecting us, our other dog would have the same fate trying to get pet by the zombies. So we'd just kill our pets and then ourselves.
We do not watch those types of movies and shows so we have no knowledge on zombies..... or vampires.
Vampires aren't real, don't be silly ;-)
Also I just wanted to point out we can all reference this thread anytime anyone accuses pregnant women of only talking about pregnancy and babies. We clearly have well-developed insights on important topics!
On my own I'd never survive, however I've been lucky enough to procreate into a survivalist group of family and friends and have been deemed useful! I'll be holding down the fort while the others are out doing their zombie fighting. Thankfully I am at least a good shot.
Here's something for everyone to think about. Supposedly, there is going to be a world wide black out before October 1st 2015. It will cause riots and such. I know people who are buying canned foods, water, ect. Scary thought. Edit for spelling because I just woke up.

Where do you get your information from? Inquiring minds must know.
I saw something like that, didn't pay much attention to it. As someone who lived through Y2K and the Mayan calendar ending, AND some preacher who swore the world was ending I say whatevs. LOL
@hplunkett2883 it sounds lame, but my mom lol. I'm not saying that I agree. The thought itself does freak me out though because I'm pregnant lol. @kristen2b great way of putting it.
The rest of these losers are going to rue the day they didn't listen to us about preparing. Just you wait. Also, funny aside, autocorrect wanted rue to be "die" which would make my comment so much more morbid.
I know this will make me the outcast of the year, but I've never seen the walking dead. Also, when the zombies come I have no idea what to do. I have no plans..... ~X(

May I suggest what @MrsBwIVF and her husband are going to do in the event of a zombie apocalypse?

Edited to say just kidding no hard feelings
Lol none taken. I was thinking the same thing!
Or just catch up on the walking dead. You could learn a lot of survival do's and don'ts.
