crazyboy 13 Posted February 13, 2010 Marksmanship is a basic fundamental (ha, I hope considering we're all firearm owners). I think whats more important is to know what kind of specialized skill sets we have (since that's whats America has become). Positions like engineers, communications specialists, heavy equipment operators, health technicians (doctors, nurses, etc), LE/Mil. And then knowing what kind of other skill sets, like first aid or radio specialists, or even advanced marksmanship. So are we self assigning these positions?

bbk 188 Posted February 13, 2010 The reason why I think knowing/applying your specialized skill sets is because the whole goal once in a PAW situation is to get out of it. Life moves forward, and so society must rebuild itself or it'll just fall to decay (as it has in the past). While living in a society of specialized skill sets will probably be detrimental and help with the initial downfall of modern society (think about how our lives are intertwined with technology), it will take those same skill sets to build it back up. So, yea, your skill sets are definitely self-proclaimed. And its not just for this little brainstorm we have going on here, but something that every person should assess in their every day lives.

wsl 2 Posted February 13, 2010 We can always wait for a reanimation medicine and just shoot matt, reanimate, shoot, rinse repeat. Or treat him like a sheep, clone him and shoot the clones. option 2 is faster, so i vote for that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bbk 188 Posted February 13, 2010 Honestly, its not even about "zombies" to me. SHTF probably won't happen in my life time, but people who live with that type of complacency and do nothing will probably get nipped by it too. Maybe things now aren't so different from how things were 40-50+ years ago, or maybe the threats have changed with time... either way, that doesn't matter. What matters is how we, with our selves and families, and as a community can prepare ourselves regardless (accountability). Its not about necessarily living the life style as some of the other crazies/hardcore survivalists (who I agree are missing out on life), but its about being able to provide the best opportunity to not just survive, but to live and eventually thrive again if the worst were to occur. Why people refer to zombies has been said before. Its not so much being prepared for zombies, but if one were to be prepared for the worst possible scenario (I'm pretty sure zombies is right up there, maybe second to a phantom planet colliding into Earth)-- then we can be prepared for anything. And the threats are out there. Whether it comes from conventional/covert means or natural, just living in this country (and different locations for that matter) does provide degrees of threat. Even if someone were to move to a different region, the threats continue (hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, droughts, wild fires, etc) that could lead to lawlessness. Live life, no doubt, but be prepared. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caine 147 Posted February 13, 2010 As usual, well said Ben. The skills thing in particular is very important IMHO and something I need to work on myself. Having guns and ammo is obviously important to all of us since we're gun people, but, most of us have that part covered already. We may not have every little cool gun we want, but in a pinch, we can make do with what we do have. Realistically tho, its the other skills that will make or break us depending on the situation we're dealing with. Personally, one of my goals over the next year or two is to get some medical training. I also need to work on general carpentry/handyman type skills. Having lived most of my life in an apartment, I've never had to learn many of the things that people with houses have had to learn, and I realize that now every time something breaks around here. The Zombie Apocalypse is as much about striving to learn new things to improve your life right now as it about headshots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
