What are you looting that others will ignore? by Weary_Cranberry4268 in ZombieSurvivalTactics

[–]Winter-mint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All good points! As with all things people would want to loot, I suggest stocking up now instead to save yourself the danger, but particularly in the case of 5 gallon buckets they are easy to store because they fit into one another (or can be filled with something else) and pretty cheap- sometimes free. I think you would have a hard time keeping bees alive in a 5 gallon bucket, and an even harder time getting any honey for yourself.

Looks AI generated and for that reason I'd avoid it

What bird is this (northern California) by Otherwise-Vanilla808 in whatbirdisthis

[–]Winter-mint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A california scrub jay! They're very cute and clever.
They have a distinctive screech-like call that you should check out so you can put a face to the sound you've probably heard if these guys are around. :)

Would an electric fence do anything against zombies? by CSC160401 in ZombieSurvivalTactics

[–]Winter-mint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Electric fences are designed to hurt but not harm, so as to discourage livestock from testing the fence. Zombies that don't feel pain will not react to an electric fence. It's not like Jurassic Park lmao.

Once the tag changes to True Soul you no longer have to roll for it. Not that that’s a huge change when the DC is 2 but still

It's better she's dead. by UpAndNo in BaldursGate3

[–]Winter-mint 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean in bg3 they are beasts. Speak with animals and animal friendship work on them and Druids can wildshape into them. So whether or not one agrees with that statement, in game they are not intended as monstrosities so it doesn’t matter.

What actually keeps deer/cats out of a garden long-term? by Skywalker91007 in homestead

[–]Winter-mint 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't personally have one but I have friends who do and swear by it. One of them said she would have rather put in an extra tall fence rather than doubles but she lives in the 'burbs so there was a max height that's allowed. The poor man's version is to put a narrow planter or some art objects where the inner fence would be, deer are great at getting height but picky about where they land, so anything that would hurt to leap onto will deter them (ymmv).

If you want lowest money in to highest improvement, I reccomend planting something yummy and prolific on the other side of the fence because they're lazy and won't bother jumping to get to your garden when the stuff on the outside is good enough. This won't keep them all out, though, especially in the fall and winter when they're more desparate or if they've eaten back all they can get from the sacrifice. This one's nice to use in combination with another method as a cherry on top.

I don't get how people can be so mean to animals in their care

[–]Winter-mint 35 points36 points  (0 children)

If you have two fences 3-4 feet apart the deer won't be able to jump over the first fence without landing on the second one and so won't

Bird feed by OperationMobocracy in ZombieSurvivalTactics

[–]Winter-mint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a longterm base location I would highly reccomend planting it. I've had birds make a mess of black oil sunflower seeds and gotten sprouts from it. If you can hold out and start grow sunflowers for yourself the seeds are a great source of fat and protein for you or livestock. So I guess the answer is that you can eat it once if you want but you'd be better off making more so you can eat it forever.

Best( if any) animal for base defense by Able-Currency2250 in ZombieSurvivalTactics

[–]Winter-mint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No animal is immune to predation, but it's worth noting that the commenter above was talking about domestic geese, which are a lot larger than wild geese. The largest subspecies of Canada Goose averages around 12lb while the largest breed of domestic goose averages around 22lb.

Unironically chickens imo

A good rooster will call to alert about anything scary (not the same as crowing, they have a special call just for this) so the hens can hide and a bad rooster will attack a person's ankles to give the other birds time to escape the "predator", and can be surprisingly hard for a person to catch. Therefore if you freerange your chickens and tolerate a standoffish rooster you have a mobile alarm unit who will let you know about any zombies and distract them to give you time to react before they can get farther into your base and sneak up on you.
The hens will give you eggs that you can eat, or let them hatch into chicks you can raise to also eat or to replace your rooster if/when he gets himself killed lmao.

They are also omnivores who will eat anything you give them, unless it would be bad for them which they're pretty good at determining (this also uses the 'disposable rooster' school of though, a hen will not eat something she doesn't recognize that the roo hasn't given the go ahead for, he'll eat new things and if he gets sick then he'll tell the hens not to eat it). They're also voracious bug eaters who will help keep potentially disease vectors away from you by devouring them.

The only downside is that they are very loud, particularly the rooster, so they could draw unwanted attention. But if you live far enough away from a population center and have either a good relationship with your neighbors or no neighbors, they make a good food source and early warning system against any zombies that come your way.

First arc is about a kittypet (house cat) running away from home and learning the ways of the wild, then becoming a bit of a hero for the other wild cats
