If zombies attack I'm going to get my husband to fly me and the DC to Norway with a full plane full of food. Then live here until the plague is over. Then once it is I can restart the world food supply.

You need to go to Greenland, have you never played Plague?

I haven't, perhaps I should.

I'm sure it's Greenland, it could be Iceland, but it's damn near impossible to infect!!

But the seed vault is a SEED vault. Sunshine and nice soil to grow the seeds in is in short supply in Greenland.

Yeah but they have people in place for that already.

Your husband knows how to fly a plane?! Can I include him in my zombie apocalypse plan?

But once everyone else is dead, can we not use OPs husband to fly us to the seed vault and replant? (Sorry OP, I have just invited myself along to your doomsday plan!)

He used to be in the air core and flown a plane under supervision, wouldn't trust him any other time to fly solo

How do you get the food on the plane before the zombies get you?

I'm going to steal a canal boat - there are some about 15 mins from here. I've planned a circular rout which avoids the main road.

I dunno, the plan seems flawed. In an emergency OP's husband would have to do wrt to the plane-flying, qualified or not, but it's a long ol' way to Greenland. We'd all have to bungle on a plane before we became zombie chow and there's no guarantee there'd be enough fuel, and fuel stops aren't really an option. Hmm.

I like the idea of a cruise ship that someone else came up with on another Apocalypse-planning thread.

Can your husband drive a cruise ship, OP?

Not sure about that.

I have a friend who is a biomedical scientist and owns a canal boat. She could come in handy? Grin

Canal boat? Zombie tv dinner tray that is. Canals are about seven feet wide and deep. Sad

But if you can drive (drive??? Steer? Work?) a canal boat, it's surely only a (very obscure) step up to a cruise ship?

Cruise shop could work. With biomedical scientists and a few others to wield machetes, not with 6000 people hoping to see the wonders of the fjords - they'll only be infected.

DH and I now plan to 'steal' the ship he works on. Think of a small version of a cross channel ferry. Load it with fuel, food and fresh water and we could last for months just off the coast somewhere (or we could pick a climate).

There are a few spare cabins if anyone is practical and cares to join us. He's an engineer so he could fix the thing as well as drive it. I'm a theatre nurse and could do an appendicectomy if I had to. We come with 2 of the most irritating proto-humans in the world. One of them has an uncanny knack of spotting food designed by nauture and nurture to survive zombies

My 3yo has mad ninja skills. DP is great with electronics and I could crochet a mean fishing net. I also make delicious cake. I think we'd be valuable assets to any post-apocalyptic rag-tag survival group.

Elfycat I'm with you. I'll travel light and just bring my own little food spotting machine.

I have no useful zombie apocalypse skills apart from an uncanny ability to know who's not going to make it till the end of the chapter/episode/series. Although I have to say I didn't see what happened to Dale coming...Grin

Over our back garden fence is a army training ground. In the event of an apocalypse we will scale late spikes iron railings trying not to get impaled. Once in there is an array of helicopters, guns, bombs etc. pretty sure there must be supplies and the such. It's miles of derelict buildings and woods etc so will probably stay there, from veg and rebuild the buildings over time. There is also tanks of we need to venture out.
