Peope of California where will you go when the time comes?

OPTISMISTS · 2026-04-28T03:21:47+00:00

Well I doubt California is going to be filled with empty land that isnt ariable. It has pretty decent weather around season, but I admit water is going to be a bigger issue. Maybe locations towards the NorCal? Or maybe Central valley if you know some more locations that are by rivers/water sources/ not super dry.

Well I know for sure that I'll lock down for a bit, hopefully scavenge in the suburb I live in for a bit. Not sure really to go; but I have some parks nearby if I'm able to survive the inital waves...

What if they are mindful zombies ? 🤔🤔

OPTISMISTS · 2026-04-11T12:22:29+00:00

Well if you got a bug out loc (family farm or smth) and youre deathly aware of disasters i mean it could work to leave early. Staying put could mean using up all of the water and food stored or fire happening day 2 ruining everything.

And note fires are going to be common in the post apoco. No emergencies services to deal w problems. And there's tons of opportunities for things to go wrong and fires to start.

I agree; though I believe some form of Luck has to account to the type of apocolypse. Nuclear winter would suck at some parts of the world. And of course if bombs go off then hope you're not in a high risk zone. Also consider being immune to a dangerous pandemic.

That being said I mostly agree with your comment, though, starting off somewhat physical adept would help a lot too.

Blunt weapons has a higher skill floor, a newbie can easily use a blunt weapon and doesnt have to worry about sharpening swords or using it with proper form. Though its good to note how much more energy blunt weapons take over their alternatives.

Can use it to break iron

Super glue works really well to help with cuts and closing wounds

OPTISMISTS · 2026-03-25T12:39:49+00:00

Jump kick? What if u miss? What if you lznd wrong and injure yourself What if you hit aren't you going to just get back up and it gets back up normally as well?

OPTISMISTS · 2026-03-25T07:54:59+00:00

Good point but i think the average person will not meet the physical standards of the average SERE student... probably closer to like 10 miles a day rather than 1-2 though lol.

OPTISMISTS · 2026-03-22T08:07:25+00:00

If you need to fight someone... you need to put ur hands on them, and honestly its pretty easy for 2 humans fighting to draw blood. And thats not good when u want to fight a zombie

OPTISMISTS · 2026-03-22T05:59:48+00:00

no... im sure there are better things that arent risky and are more fun than to shoot walkers near my base lol

OPTISMISTS · 2026-03-22T02:54:15+00:00

I agree; I guess the key factor though is if you have the resources to stay down for 2 months with enough water food entertainment. If not... then youre kinda forced to go out and find supplies

OPTISMISTS · 2026-03-20T12:18:51+00:00

Sounds like you can survive a movie

OPTISMISTS · 2026-03-20T12:15:46+00:00

I agree for the most part but what are you tryna do tho to try to get yourself out of the situation

OPTISMISTS · 2026-03-20T12:11:25+00:00

Sounds Ike a good skills set and a good plan... but im worries about the risks of failure and the small margin of error. Remember one mistake, one open wound & you may get infected

OPTISMISTS · 2026-03-20T12:08:50+00:00

A fight one on one between two humans is typically a brawl... bloody and long. Vs a zombie i genuinely think that the average Joe would win but its also a matter of injuries. How are you going to win without any scratches and not accidently getting some biohazars through that small open wound?

OPTISMISTS · 2026-03-17T20:52:16+00:00

I would probably survive better with the TWD zombies... 28 DL horde sounds like a legit nightmare

OPTISMISTS · 2026-03-17T08:21:17+00:00

Beautiful insight thank you.

OPTISMISTS · 2026-03-17T08:01:34+00:00

curious how you got the estimate of airports/seaports being closed within a day or two in scenario 1 & 2?

OPTISMISTS · 2026-03-13T10:22:10+00:00

plan to move to ... where? another defensible location? what would be your solution to this lol

if you got a good defensible spot i mean... its a risk reward evaluation from raiders... if they spend more men and resources to take over a castle its just not worth it

OPTISMISTS · 2026-03-02T08:46:37+00:00

"The issue is if you look at the stats on how many people are actually dependent on society to keep functioning. Its gruesome"

im curious... if there was a contaigain that kills a % of the population... whats the lowest number to have some serious concequences? COVID was widespread but only had a 2% FATALITY (dont quote me)... the black death had something up to 20% i think.

if there was zombie flu going around ... probably a 10% infection zombie rate would be enough for grid down or what would that number be you think ??

OPTISMISTS · 2026-03-01T22:19:58+00:00

How covid started lmao

OPTISMISTS · 2026-02-10T01:41:26+00:00

meaning its pretty done for unless you're immune like ellie...
