I Can't Live Without ....

The canteen in college.

The thing i would miss most is the ability to roll off a bus, get a coffee and rasher in a roll for €2 and chill with the lads in the smoking section.

I'm sure i could replace most of these things, but the whole package is what i would miss

crate of Barry's tea for me so, and a cow, ...and a spoon.

Zombies will probably go after anything that moves. It seems unlikely to me they would have the metal capacity to tell the difference between a human and a cow. They'll get mauled by cattle though. I think zombie attacking cattle could turn the cattle into pretty dangerous beasts. If they lose all trust in humans walking through the countryside could be very dangerous.

I'd miss Internet radio, TV , etc...books too probably given that you'd probably be restricted in moving and journeys to get new books wouldn't be too likely.

As a glasses wearer I'd say I'd really miss access to replacement glasses.... tho that would solve my lack of b

I'd really miss transport. The ability to move great distances quickly.

Yeah, we'll have cars and buses and diesel and petrol up the ying yang for a while, probably a long while.

But then everything is going to really REALLY slow down.

It'll go back to being a great adventure to get to the next town over.

cycling and horses will be the best way to get around but we'll all miss cars :P

Ya, roads will probably start to decay pretty quickly, without cars traveling on them grass will start ripping them apart within months. I'd say you'll still be able to travel them in cars you just won't be able to go to fast.

You could make your cars last longer by making them more economical on fuel. Rather than going down the traditional road of turning your car into an armoured tank, you could strip it down so it weighs much less, giving much better economy of fuel and the parts of the car should last longer having to push less weight around.

There's been roads in Ireland for thousands of years though, so I don't think they'll disapear. If towns in the east get wiped out due to proximity to Dublin those roads might disapear, although many of the massive infrastructure in Dublin will probably be there for hundreds of years, those concrete over passes for example are pretty permanent fixtures that nature will have trouble breaking down.

Music. MP3 player and solar charger a must. If that fails I know a couple of hundred songs I could hum to myself.

oh, good one! Yea, amazing how in all the post-apoc films how dirty everyone is ... it must smell to high heaven (and thats not the Z's, its the survivors!)

Baby wipes would be a premium. I could imagine looting baby wipes and deodorant at a pharmacy along with the usual first aid/medications.

It would be like one of those classic movie scenes where the scavengers hand over the loot, then produce a luxury item they nabbed and everyone cheers up!

Wasnt tha Omega man.

I try to look up making soap every so often to try and get the ingredients to stick in my head. It shouldn't be too hard to make from scratch here, fat and some white ash from burning timber are your main ingredients. Throw some coal tar into the mix and you've got an antibacterial soap. You'll smell like diesel though. Which could be a good way of tricking people into believing you've got access to a lot of fuel.

When it comes to cold and wet there's actually a perfect material running around our fields. Unprocessed wool yarn is actually waterproof. Modern wool has all the natural oils taken out of it, but the real stuff is pretty incredible, you could dunk it in water and it wouldn't retain any water at all.

Why would you want to trick people into believing you have fuel? Wouldn't they just attempt to rob you or are you trying to rob them or something completely different?

Accidental killing
Self defence
Justifiable homicide
Manslaughter
Premeditated Murder
Genocide

Will vary for most people.
