Hello /zom/. The United Toughguy Nations has decided to incorporate your board in an effort to consolidate like minded people. Those who oppose will be beaten severely and then shot. Have a pleasant day.

IRC channel for /w/, /q/, /eastwood/, /fit/, and /zom/ is #toughguys on irc.99chan.org. Get on and stick around!

Chicago.....whats left of it.

Its been a few months since the shit died down. From what I hear, the Maniacs managed to take Humboldt Park from the Kings. Great idea to plant crops in the baseball stadium but now that food has become the focus for a sereis of wars between these feifdoms. What did you expect to happen when the police and army abandoned the city and decided to hole up in Bridgeport?

Not that I could complain. Logan Square and Belden City are pretty decent. The boulevards allow for some food to get grown (turns out these yuppies actually had some good ideas.) The Imperials are again in talks with the OAs about reclaiming Central Park and Fullerton. If they manage to do that, we would become the most powerful kingdom on the North Side. Assuming we survive to have any political clout, and hoping that the Disciples don't start shit, we just might start thinking of ways to run up on Bridgeport.

Caution to any travelers coming into the city: Try to go in through OHare. Gary and South Holland are total death traps.

Manchester here.
Organised gangs? Sounds nasty dude. At least with raiders, they fuck off if you shoot one of them or their vehicles tires. Just don't waste your life. If a full scale war breaks out, get out of the city if you can. Don't be an idiot.

Anyways, I got some word from the group that's going to find the army. Apparently they're near London. Seems like they're going to take down the biggest problems while they have the most men. Pains me to say it, but I'm a coward. I can't do that sort of shit.

Hopefully, since they're doing London first, they'll move on to other cities before taking the countryside. That means they'll pass us eventually. If we can survive for just a few more months, we can get help. We have the supplies, so why not?

Roan Mtn, Tennessee, here. There are a few hundred of us here. We've survived mostly under the protection of some army deserters and armed locals. The town here was pretty much set up when we wandered in from the northeast. Most of the inhabitants had been infected or evacuated, and the people remaining were friendly. Good Christian folks, pretty dull for the most part, but very friendly and accepting. And heavily armed.
We've sent out a hand full of motorised scouts. I think we're the only settlement of this size in the Tennessee/NC mountain regions. Most other towns we've come across are picked bare, and the only survivors we've encountered are raiders, wanderers, and the settlers in the surrounding hills. The Zeds don't come this high up into the mountains, for some reason, but there are still hordes moving about in the foothills. I think it's just easier for them to walk downhill or something. They seem to take the path of least resistance if they're not chasing someone.
Our supplies are meager. We're very low on real ammunition, and have resorted mostly to bows and crossbows, as well as fashioning crude swords out of leaf-springs from truck suspensions. We gave up on scavenging food about a year ago, and subsist mostly on farming. We have power from the Wilbur Dam, but very little gasoline. The scouts we send out are old Toyota Priuses with an extra battery in parallel. They aren't manly or anything, but they put our fuel to good use and are pretty reliable. The roads are clear east to Knoxville, and west to Boone, NC.
There are some scattered survivors living in cabins deep in the hollers, and they come down to trade occasionally. Mostly trading meat or salvaged farm equipment for fuel, batteries, and produce.
I was lucky. I was renting a cabin in West Virginia with some friends from College (spring break) when the Infection started. After the perimeter collapsed around Pittsburg, the surviving Nat'l Guard and Army posted there (about 25 of them) headed southwest along mountain backroads. We were surrounded, barricaded inside our cabin, when they showed up and gunned about 40 zombies down. They saved our lives, and since we were al

Even as a Britfag, I had to watch it several times to get all the jokes. It is a great film, but you need a sense of humor that isn't limited to slapstick and puns.
If you liked it, I highly recommend finding and torrenting a TV show called Spaced. It has Pegg and Frost in it, and has a similar structure to Shaun of the Dead. I would recommend Hot Fuzz, but if you're a fan of Shaun, then you would of likely already seen it.

British humor was funny in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. However it failed terribly in...*gestures to OP's pic*...that..that thing.

You want to see some funny zeds, watch "Return of the Rabid Weasels part 1: Send more Cops". And that movie was made in the 80s.

>>11918

Meh I thought it was funny

2 litres of water a day.

For the rest? /wild/---->

Sounds like less weight than what Id carry if I were in Afghanistan, join the marines or something and stop being a wuss

i'd probably stuff a shopping cart with that shit and push it around like a hobo...

It's inconsistent because it's undecided. Just like the cause of the Z-virus. I would say that it is unlikely for the disease to jump from human to dog (or dog to human) given how few diseases can.

Some diseases can jump from one species to another, so its kind of hard to say if the zombie infection will or not.

Personally I think that if it's a parasite it will have a greater chance of crossing over than a virus. But again, it's hard to say anything for sure.

^^ here. Forgot to attach pic.

AK-47's appearantly have a tendency to jam when fired at an upwards angle. I wouldn't know though, I'm a eurofag.

>>11885

If Zed's are above you then you're kinda fucked.

Besides that, AK's are the most reliable gun produced. The rate of failure on them is so damn low it's not even funny, despite the upward angle issue.

>>11859
Oops, put the wrong kind of 'damn'.
I forgot to mention that there is only one bridge crossing the Colorado River into town. However, the southern end of Moab is completely open but faces a very large desert.

Southeast Alaska. I currently live here and there are tons of islands and nearly every resident has a gun or knows people who have guns. The only way to get here is by plane or boat, survival in the woods is fairly simple if you know what to do. I'm set for z-day

I live in Maine. The amount of potable water we have hear gives us a great advantage. Beyond the end of I-95 is an sparsely populated forest where small farms make an easy meal. The woods contains tons of edible wildlife as well. I'm only worried about the military and welfare class.

I would say that you should only use them if you have had experience with them before. It would be extremely easy to get lost in them if you haven't learned their layout before hand.

Considering that most people might not think to hide or use the storm drains, I would venture to say that they might be relatively zombie free, but still have millions of untold dangers such as diseased rodents and other viruses.

if there was just one zombie youd be fucked cause you couldnt see down there, and yeah you'd really need gps or some prior exp to not get lost down there.

>>11909
A GPS would be useless down there, you won't be able to get a satelite signal.

Not bad, OP. I would suggest maybe putting a little more detail in next time.

Nice one OP. I was never really good at art so could I make a request for you to draw?
Could you make a picture of a few guys, dressed similar to the one in your pic above, walking between ruined cars on a freeway. Give it a kind of surreal and abandoned feeling, as if these guys are the only living things for miles around.

sorry i dont have one of those cool pads. guy on the left has a shotgun.

Fuckin...

Southeast Michigan here again, after a long while of silence.

I think I might be going crazy. I ran into a small group of survivors but they wouldn't let me come with them. I offered supplies, assistance, some basic know-how, but all they focused on was my coughing.

My god damned coughing. I've always had this cough, god damn it! Always! I told them, I told them, but they kept saying I was infected. I managed to find a laptop, I'm keeping audio logs now, it's all I can do to stay sane, I need to talk to someone, even if it's myself.

To anyone reading this, please...
It's cold, places with power are scarce, so is food, I'm not infected...

I'm not.

Still here. Guess the dog was just wild.

I loved the body into a sleeping bag filled with container after container of salt (I don't fucking know why, It seemed like a good idea) So I've got a piece of human jerky hanging high in a tree. If the zombies ever come along I'll cut the cord and drop him into my lawn.

For now, I just shoot at it with my BB gun.

It's becoming harder and harder to find ways to pass time in the apocalypse...
