Suggested tools to go in my zombie murder bag

.22 nah, .308 at a min you could maybe do something subsonic.

Blackpowder is easy, nitrocellulose isalso fairly straightforward if you can lay yer paws on some equipment, fulminates are where my limited experience stops. Fortunatley should the zompocalypse occur i have a plan for that too. Meet me in the engineering building at WIT

Slash hook - ( was thinking machette but the long handle sells it ) . One part staff -one part tool and one part weapon - now to not trip over the blade and slice my leg open ...

I studied in the engineering building. I have no idea what you hope to scrounge from there? We could all hug each other in the prayer room I suppose....

You're thinking of the C corridor, although I suppose we could use Beng-ie as a distraction. I meant the AT Building, there are some rather usefull machines over there.

Hmmmm AT building might work. We could hold those stair wells pretty good. The stairs in the C corridor are narrow too.
Hide in the college for 2-3 weeks. Frantically raid the barracks at first opportunity for ordnance. We commandeer a sea going vessel (We should save someone that knows something about sailing/nautical ****) and get to the the Aran islands. There is never going to be more than 1000 people on the Island. If there's 10 of us, armed with a decent amount of ammo. We'll be grand. AND once **** calms down, I think there's only 1 point to dock on the island so we can let on only who we want.

That's deadly.
I want him on my team.

That's cool, but I don't think these mud huts would work in Ireland. First off I don't think we have the clay for it. Our ground is made of muck, black muck, great for feeding grass but I don't think it would dry out as well, I haven't tried though, so maybe I'm wrong.

Over in the UK I see road works and they've got very consistent almost red clay, they've been using it for millennia to make their red bricks.

The other problem of course is as soon as it rains the hut would melt.

There are 250 year old mud thatch cottages still being lived in in ireland .
My own house is mud and stone and over 200 years old ( mainly stone to be fair) .

I wouldn't think it was just mud either.

I don't know, I've never seen anywhere in Ireland that has clay like they have in the UK. Maybe it's just hard to see clay in its dry form here in Ireland, or most of the good stuff is in the east. The muck around here is sort of fluffy, black and variable consistency. It doesn't have that pasty consistency the clay in that video has.

IIRC round houses used to be wattle and daub. now muck/clay or no, a few sticks and you'd be sorted. either way its some basic construction skills that would come in handy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCKkHqlx9dE - the primitive tech guy, been watching these for a while now.

can't seem to find a useful map of clay types in ireland.

To add to the original topic, a large knife / bowie / machete would be useful.
a survival tin, would be essential and wouldnt take up much room. maybe swap the bic for a resuable and carry some lighter fluid.

Some suggestions from a site i occasionally visit. They also have this on survival knives. Ultimately I'd like this though.

Sorry,here []
