Upon termination of any zombies within the immediate area, plan goes into full effect.
Gather up local weapons, being our own firearms and bows, as well as suitable bladed implements, shovels, cricket bats, etc.
Go to SWMBOs, collect other implements plus fuel, vehicles, etc.
Hit schools cadet Q store for packs, climbing equipment, generators, star pickets, etc. Plus raid supply of MREs and other foodstuffs.
Gunstore will be far too popular, so probably wouldn't bother.
Link up with local comrades on outskirts of town, they've got guns, bows, silencers, etc.
Fight our way to Bunnings.
Looooots of fortifiable materials, large flood lights, proximity to local rescue helicopter depot (i.e right next to it), large flat roof for airborne extraction, regulated aisle structure internally to allow for simplified tactical elimination of undead within the facility. Small exits, with the exception of the trade entrance but this is easily barricaded.
Fortify position, begin to erect fortified structure within carpark. Establish overwatch on roof.
Small raiding parties can be establish to explore the possibility of other weapons, vehicles, fuel, etc. No point trying to beat the initial rush.
Hoard items like anti-bacterial hand wipes and liquids, as there's no time like a biological apocalypse to test the 'kills 99.99% of bacteria' claims.
Utilise bunnings facilities to modify vehicles suitable for high speed raids. I've always been curious about how a wire net around barwork would work, catch zombies in net, inflict damage from driving, bashing, etc. then they're tangled and can be dispatched at your leisure.

why waste time dragging gear from bunnings to a hideout.... why not just barricade the doors and take up residence there!

That's what I'm saying :)
Barricade bunnings with their stuff.
But extend the perimeter out a bit to give us some breathing room.

fair enough... thought u meant that you were going to move to an airport after bunnings.... hang on... maybe an airport would be good! big fences already there, room to move, room to grow food, a bunch of buildings to live, sheds to park in/fix land rovers :p

The air rescue helibase is literally 150m away from the bunnings loading dock :D

Not here is not 😛

I 'live' in a small coastal town, have done for about 35 years.

I was not born and inbred here, but almost certainly conceived here.

To me a lot of the locals, with whom I consume soma with on a daily basis, are the walking dead......... aka zombies.

The local central zombie zone...... the bowling club has a tv screen that shows a list of life members, some of whom have asterisks next to their names.

A footnote at the bottom of the screen says ' * denotes deceased ', which says to me that the other life members on the list are effectively the walking dead.

Of course in such a 'close knit' community the view on the world is somewhat like something that someone with a surname like Hanson would come up with while undergoing menopause on crystal meth.

Because these people only really 'communicate' or listen to like minded individuals, print journos or shock jocks and no one else, they could technically be defined as............ZOMBIES!

My defence (very good so far.......... because they can't figure out the underlying code in my brain) is to ignore all the boring, negative, repetitive stuff they come out with daily, by me appearing to them to be a ZOMBIE!

Louisville slugger leaning against the bookcase in the corner of the lounge room. After that is sorted definitely we're out of duce. 5 minutes? It will take me that long to get both kids in the car while the wife grabs clothes for all of us. The Disco has 110 litre fuel capacity and 80 litres of water and a zombie response vehicle sticker on the rear window :twisted: just for this very purpose. I'm in Coburg, Melbourne so it's due north straight up the Hume Highway to my Dad's farm at Conargo. On the way I ring my Uncle in Birregurra and tell him to bring his guns and meet us in Conargo. I drive straight through and instruct Dad on the way to drive into Deniliquin and load up on food, water and ammo and tell him to fill the old hilux.

Dad has an enclosed balcony that runs around the periphery of the house so we get there and shore the joint up. Uncle arrives, that's 7 guns and three men who can shoot, my step mum isn't bad with a shotgun either. That's 4 guns. My 8 year old son and Aunty can be pressed into service on a needs basis. Once the house is fortified (including the tractor across the front driveway blocking access (in a zombie apocalypse you get zombies and then you get swarms of people fleeing zombies / some good / some bad). With immediate resources sorted (water, shelter, food and ammo we start planning broader defenses as well as centralising our livestock and sorting out what vegies we'll start planting. We'll have plenty of time to scheme and should hold out up there as the cities fall.

If you need a place to hole up and can shoot and have a trade or are handy on the land fire me a PM. We'll have more guns than trigger fingers.

The zombies already know where Conargo is.......... they've got the stickers on the back windows of their utes, that's one way they communicate with each other.;)

The people who follow to your retreat would be maybe more dangerous in the longer term. :)

cheers, DL

My wife is nearby, I could sacrifice her.

Agreed. May need to shoot them when things quieten down a bit.
