so what are the positions in this Zombie apocalypse team? who will be a sniper, breacher, raider, etc ill be a sniper

I don't know. I have seen you shoot.

[crazyboy 13]

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?

Depends on which team you are on. Since you will probably be on mine, what is your specialty?

Chicks with guns, 5 pages of posts, falls to page 3 of forum.

 

Ray Ray's Zombie thread, 21 pages, first page of forum.

 

EPIC FAIL.

[Caine 147]

If you came to NJGF to look at chicks, then I would have to say djg0770 = FAIL

And that little comment has earned you 2 days of latrine duty! :twisted:

 

Being in charge has its perks

ok ok 1 day. I'm a big softie.

[GoNRA 12]

I can shovel and carry 50 lb bags of sand and bitch alot while doing it on top of it.

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.

[tbtrout 141]

Very true Ben

[Maksim 1,504]

This whole thing will be an EPIC FAIL if zombies dont become a reality. lol.

 

ok ok... it will be saved if we have a remote possibility of it happening.

[matt6669 71]

ray ray's a chuckle head, thats close enough to a zombie

[wsl 2]

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.

why you guys already kick me around, now you want to be able to shoot me too. Sheesh you guys are worse than politics, you get a little, then you want a lot!!!

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.

Wow very well said. I think we all understand that there are other shtf situations aside from zombies that fall into this category. I think you should be our official writer

I know where I'll be, in the rear with the gear!

[Caine 147]

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.
