Map Of The Dead: How To Survive The Zombie Apocalypse
On a long enough timeline... the zombies will arise, and exhibit a sudden craving for brain stew. So what is a person who will have survived the great central bank collapse to do? Full interactive map for any specific location in the US can be found at http://www.mapofthedead.com

So the mid-west is loaded with NuKular plants and flood zones and fault-lines.... and the cities are set to be gangland....
I think the Southwest/SoCal is the best, because Mexico is near by and it's not Texas. Lots' of remoteness still to be had in the US of A.

you better be Shoshone or Tatana Odum Indian then, if you expect to live there grid down without electricity to pump the water.
When I went there, I was still the same Oh regional Indian, and I was welcomed with open arms. Perhaps the brown skin or my natural sense with horses helped.
It's about who you ARE, not who you think you are that really counts.

First avoid high black concentrations. 12.4 times more likely to be murdered.
Second, avoid high Hispanic concentrations, 8.4 times more likely to be murdered.
Third, you are not allowed to die.
Fourth, when the SHTF fuck political correctness.
ALWAYS fuck political correctness!
I second the motion...
If anyone is interested here is a private study of crime. If you hang around 85 and 93 IQ people you will end up dead.

Oh, yeah - nice piece by Chris Floyd
http://www.chris-floyd.com/component/content/article/1-latest-news/2232-perverts-in-power-the-torturephiles-who-rule-us.html
very powerful writing DaveyJones, ripping the myths apart and exposing them to the light of truth, hoping for awareness,
I recommend everyone here read this link, because until we let the reality of what is actually happening in the world, "in your name," fully sink in, you'll not be free of the stink - this is one of the most important steps we can take, to be free of the fiction that holds a mind captive with flag-waving patriotism, and all that it destroys in the world. the denial of how things really are at this point of time is so destructive. . .
there is only one universal truth - all humans are the same, we are capable of unspeakable evil in anything and anyone's name and we are capable of infinite good. The greatest tragedy is remaining an observer
Omg you're so racist! Didn't you hear about Trayvon Martin and how blacks are still supressed and killed for no reason every day in the US and how racist the country is?! It's all the white man's fault you know.

To: economics 9698 (above)
All I can say is WTF:
1) White people have about 99.99% of all the fire arms in the US.
2) White people are never in areas with high concentration of "Blacks" unless they are quickly passing through.
3) If Blacks had some long held vendetta against Whites, I think we would have seen actual evidence of this. Remember, it was a Black man that rescuced that White trucker who was being beaten (after Rodney King verdict) when L.A.P.D. abandonded their post.
4)There is actual evidence that people who do not normally associate--pull together during a crisis.
5) White people have caused more death and destruction to this planet and to people who were just trying to live in their own country. No White country has ever been invaded by a Black military or assassinated a White president, or caused a coup de ta in a White country.
6) White people let their children be raped by "preists" and continue to support the catholic church. Truely amazing!!!
7) Oh yeah, and it was also White people who held Blacks in bondage for over 500 years.
Do you think maybe those slaveowners ever had sex with the little Black girls and boys? Who was going to protect them? nobody did--think about that the next time you post some racist shit.
8) Good news--there will be one less "Black" for you to worry about, as I this one is getting out of this shit-hole of a country while the getting is still good. Keep your NDAA, SOPA, Patriot Act, FEMA camps, 100% corrupt puppets.
9) The bad news--while you were worrying about "Black" folks causing some type of harm to your superior existance, your White brothers stole your future as well as that of your children and grandchildren.
10) The really bad news--Americans are too pussified to overthrow their fascist politicians who are as you read this sending your White kids to Africa to secure more resources so your over-educated, unemployed ass can continue to buy cheap gas. Dust of your selective service card--cause you're about to get a free trip to the dark continent. Watch out for those "high concentrations of Black people", I understand that Africa is overrun with them.
That was a good retort... And I agree- Americans are, as a whole, completely pussified.
aw no dude, they're cockified, completely and utterly enthralled by their cocks.
pussy is what you punish with your cock, yes?
Propaganda. If you want to hang around a group of people with a average IQ of 84 please do so.
http://www.colorofcrime.com/colorofcrime2005.pdf
cheers for making my point more emphatically.
comprehension may not be your strong suit, but you certainly have the desire to punish down pat.
Total BS propaganda!! Go read some real history, it was Jews that brought slavery to Amerika because the Talmud makes goyim slavery a normal thing and then it was the Whites who liberated the Blacks!!!
White people didnt cause more death and destruction on the planet than any other race, it is in fact Jews that organized almost every genocide and remember they control your congress so why do you think the USA bombed Hiroshima and created false flags like 911? To obey zionists of course!
Jews organized the russian bolchevik genocides and Armenian genocides.
Blacks are still cannibals and genocidal of their slim white population in Africa not to account for their own people genocides while Whites are not guilty of any of these!!!
Go read the Almanacs and find out that the Jewish population census never shrinked during Hitler's rule and they now talk about 74 000 jews that died probably all of Lyce because Allied bombing helped the virus spread and medical supplies was impossible to get!
So much whining silliness here it would take more time then its worth to shoot it down point by point, but exactly what do you think the Moors were doing in Spain- buying cheap vacation real estate in the aftermath of an economic meltdown?
If you want to reduce it to a victimization contest and it seems you do, can we then say that everything that happened to blacks since then was payback for their invasion of Europe and slaughter of its indigenous inhabitants? That the heavy Spanish and Portugese involvement in the slave trade was just a payback for the costs of the Reconquista? Can we say that their rape of little children just as you imply was the case here was the reason that their blood became intermixed with the Spanish?
And inversely, follow where the Jews are concentrated?
And avoid the FEMA (concentration) camps.
I was referring to geographically based skill sets. Once the electricity stops moving the water, the land will revert. Those people had the skillsets and knowledge to live there. Like Inuits got pretty damn good at living way up north.
So in a way, we agree.
The happy thoughts theory might work in most places, for now, when no one is hungry. You could litmus it in Gary Indiana or certain neighborhoods in Kansas City or Peoria, Illinois to get a truer baseline.
If it's all you bring, your charming personality and dashing smile are going to leave your ass flapping in the wind.
Well, first off, horses should give you a hint. Anyone that has ridden has swept stables, mended fences. So, no, I was not talking charm, I was talking of being Real, which most people are not.
Second, I've been up and down the US, a lot of it by road. Driven through Alabama, South Carolina, Indianapolis (actually right through the heart of the heart, Monsanto Corn Country)..... awesome everywhere. Ohio, Kentucky (helps that I play guitar).... just being real.
Also, house painted for a few months after my high six figure got dot-commed. My crew chief was a one eyed, pot smoking ex-marince Datsun 280Z racer and his 2 IC was a chubby hispanic guy. We all got along great.
Only place I felt odd and that was a rude NY socialite telling me that I dodn't like NY because I was not rich enough. She had a point, but she was really rude. And one time in Schenecdaty when a bunch of Trailer park guys chased me (car chase style, I was 2 months in the country, so just floored it and ran. I'd watched too much American TV in India).
There you go, fwiww.

Are you really ready for the Zombie Apocolypse?
The Bug Out Drill covers 15 miles and 30 challenges across rough, wooded terrain. Arrive with a long gun, pistol, pack, and gear to survive a real-life bug out event. Water will be available at multiple points, but no other equipment guidelines will be provided. Participants compete on an individual basis and the event must be covered on foot, carrying all gear, with no bikes, 4-wheelers, donkeys, or hot air balloons allowed.
In last year's event, participants had to climb walls, cut wood, take apart bolts, bandage Tactical Ted, shoot, and purify water just to name a few of the challenges. If you want a true test of you and your equipment with a chance to win great prizes, come and join the competition.
A great meal will be provided after the event.
Participants who pre-register two weeks prior to the event will receive a Bug Out Drill t-shirt.

I disagree, Russians aren't Americans, many Americans are Armed and just dumb enough to start shootibg... we like to be rebel/revolt [historically], eventually... especially when the wellfare checks and food stamps and gov. Payroll transfers stop (cough, when the austerity measures start)...
However, wouldnt be surprised if the USA becomes some creepy religious fundamentalist state that outlaws science.. i sure hope not though
I think you guys are all over-thinking this scenario. The checks will never stop. The amounts may buy less, but the checks will never actually cease. Thus, there doesn't seem to be a triggering event for widespread chaos. I predict a more gradual collapse, as is already underway.
just long enough for everybody to run through their little box or two of ammo collecting dust in the closet along with the gun that hasn't been fired since two weeks after it was bought... probably long enough to make it smell bad for a while, though.

You know whay you never see? FAT zombies.
No why ?
Cause fat people can afford to stay in the house but those skinny low body fat assholes need to find food immediately cause they have no reserves to live off.
After the initial wave, in which all the low body fat fucks die and become zombies, the much thinner fat and obese people venture forward to claim the world.
They have sat staring out their windows and worked out a survival strategy based on all the low body fat assholes they watched die or get eaten.
you keep right on rationalizing that to assuage your petty little ego, bubble ass.

Seriously, the fatties will die off first because they are big, soft, and weak. Oh, not to mention, slow.
aerojet
Low body fat means you have no reserves to draw on and start burning muscle.
How long can you burn muscle before you are too weak to move?
That's one of the reasons obese survive long hopspital stays better, they can draw on fat reserves for energy.
Just like nature designed.
Actually, your body consumes muscle first.......then fat... when you exercise. Sooner or later the obese must get off their fat asses and move. Unfortunately, when they do decide to get off the couch, they will find their muscle mass will not support their weight......causing the heart to pump faster......which usually ends...........in death or in this case...zombieland.
Yes, keep thinking about your l33t fat ninja survival skills while shooting up your insulin.

If you're not seriously looking at yourself and your health and wondering what you'll do when there are no drugs or doctors to stave off your obesity fuelled death, then you are truly in denial.
There are advantages to carrying some body fat but it's certainly not much (quantity wise). You will also lose muscle mass before you lose fat, unless of course you are on a long run in which case fat reserves will begin to burn.
If you can't run at least 5 miles you're in feckin' trouble....

Rule one is stupid.
You can fast walk and out pace zombies. They are fucking slow.
You run you run blindly, get caught in dead ends where they box you in. Or you get winded and surrounded.
Numbers beat you then.
Looks good in the movies, and elicits a chuckle, but in the end a nonstarter.
Move steady and keep your head. That's how to live.
Why don't you roll down to East St. Louis or a similar venue and do a taxonomy check on the local "zombies". They move pretty fucking fast.
Not if they're rage virus 28 Days Later zombies, those bitches are fast, you need a couple M240 SLR's (See May 2011 Rifleman for info, $13,500) to thin those suckers out at a distance, and then probably have to be in MOP gear when what's left gets in shotgun range...
That is what I HATE about zombie movies shotguns from three feet, the good guys never get blood in the eye or brain in the mouth, right.. Alot of that shit does not go out the exit but comes out the entrance wound pressurized and moving fast..
Actually, MOST of the zombies I see, whether standing around downtown or serving as TSA agents at the airport, are FAT. This isn't a Cesar Romero film we're talking about. This is the real thing.
Fat people can't say no to food. Even if they have extra calories in storage, they will be the first to seek food and eat their own children.
I notice Chicago is not highlighted as a future danger zone...I'm guessing because it already is one.

That is too funny.
Buy an Axe, works better and you never run out of ammo.
How many Zombies can you beat to death with the gun butt before they gnaw on your arm?
I prefer to keep them at a distance, I have my Saiga for close range zombies then if they get too close I have my Rambo survival knife.
Dr. Engali
Walking Dead points out that Zombies are slow, the comic, as long as you keep your head you can take out whole bunchs.
Zombies are attracted to noise. Once one hears a noise it moves toward it. When it bumps others they follow until you get a herd.
Zombies keep moving in the direction of the noise until they become distracted by something else.
Guns attract a LOT of zombies.
Axes, and that knife, not any.
Silent like the Ninja brother, silent is the way to live.
Just knock off the FSB and put one on with a bayonet lug.
Saiga is getting to be the most popular brand at the range these days.
chunga
Bayonet better choice.
I like both.
A red-dot and an eight-pack of Circle 10s will bring down quite a few zombies.
Saiga is getting to be the most popular brand at the range these days.
There was a hell of a sale going on, but it's over.
The Rooskies were low balling them like crazy, and those fortunate enough to snag a few are fortunate indeed.
They are looking for a few Distributors, and no more...........so the prices will triple.
Yup.
Law-abiding zombie fighters; remember to stay 922r compliant.
Adding a pistol grip or even possessing a mag with capacity over 10 rounds makes it illegal...even in a zombie apocalypse...lol.
Remove 5 imported parts and you're good to go (US made FCG = 3 parts, US made fore-grip = 1 part, US made butt-stock = 1 part)
US made mags count as 3 922r parts but they mostly suck (with the exception of perhaps SGM) and cost more than imported mil-spec.
Saigas do require a bullet-ramp to accept mil-spec AK-47, AK-74 mags though. It's no big deal to do.
I have one stock.I have a20 rnd drum and i have 12 rnd SGM mags.The mags count as 3 compliance parts,the mag,feed lip and base plate.Is that correct?
Short answer: the SGM (Surefire) mags count as 3 922r parts.
Because the SGM mags are over 10 round capacity it is no longer considered "sporting" and triggers 922r.
I believe you would still have to remove 2 imported parts; the easiest would be the front handguard and buttstock.
If you go the extra step of removing the "sporter plate" and replacing the fire control group; you achieve three things.
[1] You return the balance of the rifle back to the way it was originally designed. (The now required pistol grip is moved forward)
[2] You remove three 922r parts and get a significantly improved trigger pull (and no longer require the silly lever in the "sporterized" version.)
[3] Your imported parts total has been reduced by 5 and you know longer need to count the three parts in the magazine. This allows you to run mil-spec steel mags that can be had for around 10 bucks. My favorite is the Bulgarian Circle 10; the body is poly but it's steel reinforced in the body, feed-lip, and rear mag-catch. 30 bucks but high quality.
Remember though, your SGM mags have the feed ramp built in. The mil-spec mags do not. That's why you have to add a bullet ramp to your trunnion.
If you add a muzzle device like a flash-hider; that too must be US made.
Here's a handy check-list helpful in determining 922r compliance
Thanks for assist.Very helpful.
Went into link,so the magic # appears to be 10 or less with imported parts with a threaded barrel.My MD Arms drum counts as 3 as well as SGM Mags.I might get the ATI pistol grip without moving trigger group which should make it in compliance,down to 10.Little tight on the duckits to get it tricked out at moment.Thanks Again.
Oh, a shotgun.
I think the best favor you could do yourself is join Saiga 12 Forum
It's free, loaded with information on Saigas/AK variants, and as a bonus you get a member discount with their sponsors.
[Dislosure: I am not a sponsor, just a member]
I don't advocate flouting 922r but I see non-compliant guns at the range (and in gun shops) all the time.
The key to 922r is how many imported parts you remove, not how many US parts you add.
Shoot the crap out of it and decide what you like/don't like before buying anything.

I used to have one of these for my AK, but you wouldnt believe what happenend to them when I went canoeing...
The wife and I costume up at renfaires with period armor and weapons. I think these will do better than axes, but assumes that you out-last those (who decide to go offensive) with the most ammo. I don't think I'll put on armor and carry a sword until I run out of ammo myself. BTW: I've noticed very strong crossbow sales lately.
gaoptimize
Axe, hammer, sword, so on.
I have a combat steel Kwan dao, which while heavy will still bludgeon after the edge is gone. Plus it allows for shoving distance.
Really I imagine axe or hammer works better for the extended battle. Again due to the bludgeoning ability once the edge is gone.
Got a nice heavy Kukri that offers promise.
Armor is promising, as long as it's light enough to move in.Then again I imagine heavy cotton is bite proof.
You play enough video games you can judge the positives and negatives of light vs heavy armor.
But in a zombie throng handheld weapons trump guns, trump anything that runs out of ammo.
Melon hammers would rock, as long as they were combat steel.
Then again spears are considered the king of weapons.
("I don't think I'll put on armor and carry a sword until I run out of ammo myself."
Clines points out that zombie combat is the opposite of regular combat. You need those very hard to get head shots, instead the center of mass ones. And training for center of mass may actually hinder you in the thick of it zombie battle where you revert to training instinct.
Beside noise attracts them)
"Play enough video games"?
How much in real life (outside your moms basement) have you swung a heavy sword??
Good luck with that.
Splendid choice for your home defense.
My concern with the .223 as a bug-out round is weight. 30 to the pound, versus 10 - 11 .22 LRs and 6 - 7 .22 WMRs to the ounce.
But everyone's bug-out plan is different. Mine involves about a 220-mile trek to one of three spots in the mountains and assumes there will be no resupply of anything, ever.
Bug-out, I learned, is all about agonizing choices.
A tactical vest helps to disperse the weight.
I roll old school with ALICE LC1 and LC2 gear myself. I like to keep the chest/belly clear so I can really get low and suck dirt. I do see the utility of the vests though, and was considering them for immediate action grab and go kits to stage in useful places, like closets and in trunks.
that's why a supply cache, and a good plan is important. Reherse every once in a while to ensure you can actually execute the plan.
Falkland Islands & Antarctica look pretty safe...
Canada is free of zombies. I know where I'm moving.
konputa
Clearly you fail to comprehend the nature of the Zombie Apocalypse. The trigger awaits in all of us and activates as soon as someone dies.
Necrosis is much slower in cooler weather, though.
My opinion is that, if you must bug out, you want to flee somewhere stifling hot, rural, bug- and bird-infested.
ZackAttack
Zombie lore is people turn anywhere from 3 minutes to 3 days.
Necrosis doesn't matter here.
But Cold weather should slow them down.
Then again, the heat may thin them out quicker due to rotting flesh falling off.
Right, that's the idea. They become a lot less dangerous without musculature to shamble or bite. I think you want lots of birds and bugs.
However, Brooks' book theorizes that the Solanum virus greatly slows the decomposition process, makes the flesh unappealing to carrion-eaters, and that zombies may remain ambulatory for a couple of years even in a hot climate, or until killed in a cooler one.

Good luck getting over the border mate, it will be sealed as soon as they're ready light the fuse on the next "terrorist attack" Uh, yeah.
All kinds of detacments have been deployed up north for just such an outcome. It's a long border but you won't be able to get over it via roads. That limits what you and your group only to what can pack in. Head up early and create a stash if time and money allow you to do it.
Obviously you've never been to T-dot, there's about 6 million living there now.....stay away from canada, i think we should erect a zombie fence along the border, i'm calling my MP right now...
another reason to reprice real estate....
