Assignment 10- Swazey Sexton- What my ttrpgs have taught me.

So. Zombie Survival plans, everyone should have one strictly due to how versatile they are when it comes to application. A zombie survival plan can be applied to almost any apocalyptic scenario. So, let me educate you all on what my ttrpgs have taught me.

First things first, you need food. Food and water is always the most important strictly because they will always be the hardest to come by. Luckily for us in Kentucky, if you can get a fire going you can boil the water from any lake or creek you can find and end up with something usable. As for food, you want the things most people won't be grabbing, you want rice, jerky, root vegetables and protein shake mixes. While they might not taste the best, the long term use of them is what's important until you can start up a proper farm or whatnot. Once you have food and a couple weeks worth of water or the means to create usable water, you need travel. Staying in one place for too long is a death sentence in a zombie apocalypse, especially somewhere as crowded as Lexington. Cars are nice, but they create noise and require fuel. Bikes, skateboards, and other forms of manual transportation are going to be better. Easy to hide if raiders come by, amd don't make much noise, amd if you get tired, can easily by walked with. As to where you're travelling you can do one of two things. You can try and make it to government bunkers or other safe haven areas, or you can go to farmlands and mountain areas where there are less people and plenty of room to set up barricades, animal farms, plant farms, and where generally there are wells so you won't have to worry about water. There also lots of tools and hunting equipment for self defense. I prefer then mountain plan, but my family is from eastern Kentucky, so I know the land over in whitesburg pretty well. If we're going with the whitesburg plan, the first thing you need to do once there is set up a farm, find good hunting grounds, just secure a sustainable food source cause without food and water you aren't doing anything. After that, barricades, sturdy, tall, and multilayered barricades. Considering we're following the idea that runners and heavy zombies have a possibility of existing, you need them to be able to withstand a lot, amd having multiple in place is never a bad idea. After that, you can work on the comfort and livability of it. Try and set up communication networks. Or take time into learning something new. Just find a way to make life bearable until you can relocate with proper materials, or until a search party saves you.
