my 1st post in this thread.
downloaded episodes 1-3 yesterday, watched them straight, then watched episode 4 live.
very pleased i decided to give it a shot. I love zombie appacolypse type movies/books/etc. Graphics are great and glad zombies don't have super powers, feelings, and are brilliant.
At first I questioned camping in the woods with tents as refuge, but here's a few points:
- It's up a mountain deep in the hills. No one likely lives up there for miles. And is not in Atlanta itself.
- Granted the woods provide cover for the zombies and you can't exactly see them coming, but with the woods and the quarry lake you have the opportunity for scarce food and water.
It does seem they could beef up security tho:
- take the school buses, park them around the perimeter, then use the huge rocks from the quarry to fill in the gaps.
- Have one entrance and one exit. Kind of like the messican gang in Atlanta.
- Worse comes to worse. have the canoe and other floating rafts to get into the quarry lake in until the attacking zombies either leave or dround.
Am I the only one who thinks like that?
frick digging holes, catching frogs, fishing, or going back to Atlanta to save a crazy redneck.
I'm building a fricking rock wall, lookout towers, booby traps, and a moat.
Once I'm secure, I'm figuring out how to build weapons, electricity, fuel source, and sup'ing up vehicles in case the worse happens.

4. Woods provide cover. Who ever heard of zombies coming out the woods? I always think large urban or suburban areas but it seems like they've gone hungry so they're branching out to the woods...guess could have anticipated this if you were an experienced zombie survivalist but I wouldn't have expected that group to, which by the way looks like a hodge podge of mental cases.
I'd hijack me some boats or cannoes and spend the night out in the middle of the water(the lake they happen to be at now). Ideally just lute you a yacht and live about 200 yds off the coast. Go back and hang out during the day and have nothing to worry about at night.
But like lots of other people have said, we just have to assume everything has been pillaged 100 percent, now they are down to the land and lucky shite they might find.

i wouldn't assume everything has been looted.
shite if there is still a 2009 Challenger and a department store full of clothes and jewlery is still out in the open, i'd say there's still some stuff around. It's just taking the risk to go get it.

This is what I'm talking about. I'd go out, drop anchor in the middle of that fricking wanna be lake. Sleep and not worry about a damn thing...unless you get loose of anchor an wash up on the damn shore then you're F'd.
I seriously think the Zombie Survivalist Thread needs to be resurrected. Lots of interesting points are being brought up here...especially being able to tell the difference between infected and zombies incase we're ever have to diagnose on the fly.

Yep that's kind of the argument I tried to make. I am in the thinking that there are few enough survivors and they are too scared to be taking chances on going into stores and shite. But the consensus was this is who knows how long after the zombie apocalypse?(could be anywhere from 1-5 months) and most people agreed that all the stores were empty. Certainly all the gas stations appeared to be.
I suggested finding an abandoned house in a rural area. It did the magical negro and his son pretty good, and if it's near the woods or a lake you have your land to live off of. Everybody wins.

But in this world, a nice car and fancy clothes and jewelry are worthless. Food, ammunition, and shelter are worth more than gold.
Just got around to watching episode four. Great episode, and I was wondering when the attack on the camp would come and if they would get to it this season. When Amy got up, I knew it was time to kiss her goodbye. Interesting development with the Vatos. I did not see that coming, but I thought it was well done.

I'm guessing it's only been a few weeks...maybe a month at the max. His beard when he woke up was not a 4 month beard...there is tons of shite still around. Like fricking grocery stores. I'd be ransacking the canned food isle for the MF Win instead of worrying about some retard on a roof.

Why so nervous MJC?

Just to keep an open mind on the time gap I posted this a week or so ago...

In the shows defense to help combat this problem, he could have gotten shot and been in the hospital a month or so maybe longer, then the zombie apocalypse started and I'm sure it started kind of gradually, they may have maintained control of the hospital for weeks or months before they lost control, electricity etc. Then once they lost it, it may have been a week or so until he woke up
based on the military set-up outside the hospital, this was probably one of the last stand places in the town so he could have been under care for a few months before they lost control, power etc. Then after a week or so of laying there he just woke up. The flowers looked at least a week without water. The beard thing, they could have been shaving him while he was under.

my wife or daughter would get a pass. Everyone else is gonna buy it before I have to find out the hard way.

Funny though... I was not aware that you can see a mountain range when you are in Atlanta.
You can't see a "mountain range" per se, but there are elevated spots in Atlanta where you can see large hills/small mountains in the distance.

I didn't have a problem with the whole camp set up in the great outdoors. What I did havea problem with, was there was no perimeter set up or watches for the Walkers. Kind of like Indian scouts...set up a distance away and keep watch/lookout.
Even the Latinos talked about not sleeping, and keeping watch day and night.
I know it sounds a little weird, but I would have set up some treehouse like structures for night time so everyone was well off the ground in case Walkers came straggling through. Not the whole house per-se, but something that would support the weight of people laying down. You could have watchers in deer stands etc just in case as well.
The fact that you have to think about all these different aspects of survival etc is what makes this show really enjoyable for me.

Plus 1.
I know what I would do, and what most of us with common sense would do. But if these people were perfect in their survival, the risk would be minimal and I'm sure we'd get board watching them shoot a zombie from a tower ever so often when they started invading personal space.

Agreed. I wouldn't be much fun since I'd be living off the coast more than likely in some sort of platform boat/yacht...only coming in for supplies...yeah, following me would be boring but if I was out there byyself I'd probably eventually get bored and go search for others...if for nothing else the excitement.

exactly. This would be most of our downfalls.

Wonder if they all head into the city now? Short of finding an isolated cave or something, I'm sure everyone wants to get the frick out of the open.

It looked like in the previews they were heading further away from ATL. I'm very excited to find out though.

Also, the perimeter is extremely difficult to defend and they are surrounded by trees, giving the zombies cover. You don’t know you’re being attacked until they are right on top of you
Agree. I believe the second episode showed someone stringing up cans for early warning. Guess that didn't work well.

Well, everything I am thinking has been said at least 5 times.
So I will just say that I loved the episode and it was definitely my favorite thus far.
Good day gents.
