No.
But,I MUST tell all of you a DARK SECRET of mine.... THE VERY REASON I THOUGHT OF BUYING AN AR-15 IN THE FIRST PLACE.... I watched the 1992 remake of "Night of the Living Dead" it was frightening,and at the end,a group of red-neck hunter dudes come into this house and open up on the zombies.The leader of the vigilante patrol was armed with....an AR-15.After watching that movie on DVD,I thought to myself "this house has too many windows!!!" :) |

No, I definately don't fantisize about it, in reality it wouldn't be much fun.
But I do like being prepared. With the way things are going these days, it's not bad policy. |

I have absolutely no fantasies about a SHTF scenario.
Dodging bullets and killing people isn't my idea of a good fantasy. Now as far as MY fantasies go, they usually involve me on some beautiful remote South Pacific island with about a half dozen Penthouse Pets to keep me company. Of course this remote island has ALL the amenities 1 guy and 6 drop dead beautiful women could ever dream of.[img]www.bestanimations.com/Humans/Sexy/Sexy-02.gif[/img] |

as my screen name suggests, i am a survivalist, i prepare for whatever happens (hopefully) when i talk of SHTF please note that this is what i see in our near future, i hope and pray that i am wrong, but in case i am right i will continue to prepare.
but thats personal oppinion, if the battle comes to me i will fight it.. freedom at all cost... |

It's about two SWAT guys and two friends taking shelter in a mall from the zombies, but not until they unleash their AR-15s on every zombie they see. That's what sold me. (though in the movie they actually use some kind of dedicated 22LR ARs) When people ask me the tired question "What do you need that for?" I always reply "You'll be the one who's sorry when zombies are eating your brains!" [frag] |

DUDE,I own both on DVD,fucking awesome movies.
ATTENTION EVERYONE HERE>>>>> DAWN OF THE DEAD IS ONE OF THE DEFINITIVE AND MOST REALISTIC "SHTF" MOVIES EVER MADE!!! BUY THE DVD!!!!! seriously guys,the movie PERFECTLY REPLICATES a world taken hostage by a plague,which makes the dead come to life.The movie takes place about four weeks after the initial outbreak.Panic is widespread,and the military,along with vigilante militia units have been mobilized.The movie features realistic news reports,which as the movie goes by,become less and less professional,as the staff deteriorates.One of the opening scenes feature the Philly SWAT unit,armed with ARs and shotguns,as the advance to clear out a apartment building.The basement of the building has been used as a dumping ground for the recently killed.The SWAT unit gets down there.... All you SHTF dudes MUST watch this film.It really does a good job at making you feel like it's "really happening" as the priest in apartment building #107 said to the elite squad of troops "Many have died,past week,on these streets.In the basement of this building you will find them.You,are stronger then us.....but soon I think,they be stronger then you." |

Not enough cute women in "The Postman".
What we need is a good post apocalyptic movie where only a few dude lived and all the gals are babes. Now that'd be a decent fantasy. |

Dawn of the dead was an ok film, but i personally would have carried alot more mags for my M16. in some of the scenes the swat officers shoot with their left hand on the carry handle, not a sign of a trained cop. a great precursor to "Resident Evil". another thing i would have done is loaded up on all of the .22lr ammo and a scoped rifle to play "sniper" on the rooftop to thin the ranks of the undead.
As far as SHTF goes, i dont "fantasize" about it at all, but does'nt mean i have not put some thought into it. i personally believe such a thing will never occur unless there happens to be a riot in the area where you live. if i caught wind of a coming riot i'd pack my car and take a "vacation" somewhere out of the area. of course bringing my most valued possessions along.

depends on which shtf you are talking about.
if it is the ascencion (sp?) - when all the good cristians get taken up to heaven by god. and looser pagans like me get left behind? nothing. maybe my lawn chair and some popcorn to watch all of them get sucked up by a giant vacuum cleaner (holy one of course) into the sky. then go to their houses - especially mormons - as they will have the best food and weapons stored up. then have a pagan sex party with all the hot french women that are left behind. steve seriously - according to hopi prophecy only those "who remember the old ways" will be saved. how you interpret that is my personal interpretation. i love to vacuum. |

I have to admit, I've thought along those lines before. My imagination is awfully profuse at times. After a particularly bad day at work I sometimes almost wish for something to happen. Most of the scenarios end in me dying a particulary nasty death(reality starts creeping in). I think everyone should prepare for hard times the best they can afford to, and hope things never really get to a SHTF stage. SHTF may never happen, but floods, famine, earthquakes, tornadoes, etc. do. Besides, who goes around throwing shit at fans anyways.[:D]

No, just concerned about it. I'm prepared to a point, but will continue to prepare for possible degrees of forced increasing self sufficiency. Reasonable answer, eh?
BTW, for a good post-apocalyptic read, intelligent, but not overly technical, check out Gordon R. Dickson's "Wolf and Iron". Survival in the worst case SHTF scenario, though since The protagonist (wisely) avoids cities, he doesn't feel the brunt-at least not in a urban combat style. A good yarn, one of my faves.

Whoever hopes for this shouldn't be allowed to own guns. What kind if a fucking nutcase fantasizes about this. [%|]
Being prepared is one thing...it's quite another to sit at home hoping for it. Besides, Murphy's Law says you're going to be the first one dead anyway for whipping out a gun. Remember the scene from Boogie Nights in the donut store when the guy tries to rob it and some goober whips out a gun...first one dead. |

I don't fantasize in the sense of looking FORWARD to (or thinking there's something cool about) living on the run, fighting for my life, and harvesting extra ammo from the bodies of dead JBTs.
However, I do plan for and think about such things on a regular basis. I don't train for bambicide, as I never expect to be attacked by a deer. I prepare to deal with the kind of target that's most likely to try to interfere with my personal or collective right to life, liberty and property. I do keep the Minuteman concept alive...my most essential gear is packed for rapid movement. I can be on the road in <5 minutes with weapons, ammo, MREs, camo, and other useful stuff. I guess I would get some satisfaction about having SHTF and being more prepared for it than 99.9% of people. I do feel I have a certain responsibility to myself and my country (or at least to the principles upon which it was founded). If the US is going to be overrun in a worst case scenario, I'm resolute that I would rather die as a warrior than as a slave. I'd call it more of an "acceptance" than a "fantasy". On the other hand, I spend plenty of time in politics and similar causes, trying to keep the S as far from the F as possible. Dying at a ripe old age after a good life with my wife and kids would be far more fun, and a lot less work... - Dave |

I don't know if a SHTF scenario would happen in my lifetime, but a Los Angeles scenario COULD be much more likely. As for the fantasizing, I think the more we put into being prepared, the more we wonder if we really are. Then we may wonder what it would be like if "it" did happen. Did we plan wisely enough? Maybe there is a small portion of ourselves who wants "it" to happen, just to test our own wisdom and preparedness. I'm no whacko, and I would be perfectly happy if "it" never came, but a small piece of me wonders if I could make it through "it", like some rite of passage.
In any event, most of us on this site pride ourselves not only on our weapons and (to a lesser extent)other survival gear, but also on our skills and resourcefulness, and that is what will really carry us through "it", or make sure that "it" never happens in the first place! BTW (for fun) [bounce] [>:/] Umm, I don't know if a .22LR has enough knockdown power to take out a zombie. Besides, you need to hit them in the head? [thinking] Stick with your AR and all the mags you can tote. Never hurts to bring a shotgun and sidearm either. Shotguns (in the movies)are usually the best "zombie slaying" weapons [;)] Then again, there's always the good old [chainsawkill] I love living dead movies, too! |

Although I don't see a nation wide SHTF scenario coming to pass, I can see your point in being prepared for a local event. I'm glad I don't live in a large city like L.A. The R. King riots seemed pretty scary. I suppose those of you who live with such problems really do need to prepare to the extent that you do.

yes,the SWAT guy did look stupid aiming his AR using the handle.But,in the movie,things have gotten sooooo bad,that ANYONE can join the SWAT or military,alot of the SWAT guys in the assault on the projects are really young and inexperienced,and one even shoot himself in the head after going crazy.
I think the ARs were ment to be ARs,not .22 conversions,I think they just messed up and showed us the scene with Peter loading the bottom of the mag....Actually,those ARs are dedicated movie guns,which only fire snaps. |

Do nightmares count?
Seriously, those of us who prepare for emergencies, would be remiss if we did not plan for the ultimate emergency. 'Fantasize?' On rare ocassions. Life IS much simpler when your concerns are limited to your next meal, and living to see the sun rise tomorrow. Those who have fought in protracted infantry combat will understand. The thought of surviving by running, hiding, and killing others has little appeal. I wouldn't want to live in a world like that. But I sure as he!! wouldn't want to DIE in a world like that either. |

my first answers were somewhat tongue and cheek - realistically we are most likely condemmed to a life of slow social decay and mediocrity - most likely we will be wiped out by a super virus brought on the greed of corporate drug companies, to which we have no defense as they pump our entire food system with antibiotics and chemicals that destroy us from within

I think yall's skills for fighting the 'undead' are lacking. Everybody who watches the classics knows that in addition to the mandatory assault rifle you need a double barrel shotgun, a chainsaw, a baseball bat and a really large kitchen knife and highly flamable substances to make cars explode and buildings demolish.

As a young boy I was interested in history and would watch with morbid fascination the footage of the Nazi death camps. At some point I resolved that I would NEVER submit to such an outrage and thus began a long fascination with firearms. I justify the large number of firearms I posess as "extras", to be given to the neighbors if events called for it. A group of neighbors, all armed, would be a greater deterrent than any one man alone.

I was kind of upset Y2K didn't happen. I mean come on, riots in the street, looters, moving targets. Planning out a tactical escape path to get your family out of the city, holding down your land against would be killers and thieves. My, what what movies have done to warp my mind. Wouldn't it have been great though. Military spends their time practicing war games waiting for something to happen. Doesn't it suck when nothing happens? Don't you feel ripped off? Nothing but PT & war "games". Actually putting skills to use makes you feel like it had meaning.
