I own a traditional daisho set. I like redundant systems. Oh and if you have to ask why then a katana is not for you. As a matter of fact I would always have one with me in a zombie invasion.


I guess it would be cool if there was like, one zombie you were fighting out in the open, as an absolute last line of defense. I'd probably just run if I wasn't cornered and didn't have any ammo.

oh man, this zombie invasion thing has crossed my mind so many times....

I'd wear my GAP Cadet Khakis, black Timberland Abington Guide Boots (just incase I need to stomp some zombie heads out), random thermal, and one of my field jackets. I'd be on for war, bitches

People, meanwhile, can betray you, or they can get tired and hungry and scared and do things that don't make sense and completely **** up your defensive strategy. That cannot be allowed. You need well defined roles for structure, an atmosphere of order and the ability to suppress emotion. All of that said, the tradeoff is, you also need to be able to shoot your companions in the face without hesitation if they become infected. The girl you love, your brother, your mom, these people are liabilities to you and you to them. Plus I wouldn't trust my mom with a gun, she'd probably accidentally shoot me in the leg.
That should be on the first page of the "How to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse" book.

I started watching that show because of this mention. It's ******* great. I just finished the episode where the guy remembers his dream
