Water Source drying up.. - Pt8

Its summer, its hot out there and it has not rained in weeks, by the way things are going, the water source will dry up in a few days time.  Your own water reserves are almost tapped, and its time for a big water gather.  Once you get there, its just as you thought, almost gone, as you proceed to the filling area, the other group is filling lots of bottles.  Once out of your truck, you proceed to stop their filling.  You explain that the agreement between the two groups, and that right now they are done because they half have a truck load.  The main guy disagrees and tells you they can take as much as they want.  You tell one of your guys to go get the leader of their group.

You explain to the leader that his guys are taking more than the agreement allows, that sharing is apart of both groups, and no one group gets it all or more than they are allowed.  As he explains that he is collecting 2 weeks worth of water because they are leaving tomorrow.  He is just taking what is theirs to go.  This however does not go down well with you, as you explain that the agreement forbids taking extra water if the group has decided to move on.  This really makes the other group mad, and they keep claiming it theirs.

More to come! ;)

Not Gone... Still There... - Pt7

Your scouts report that this other group is setting up a big camp near the water source where you get all your water.  So what is your next move?  What can you do to protect your water source?

1. Try talking to them first, try to draw up a peace plan and water sharing agreement. If that fails, go to step 2.

2. Draw up an attack plan.  (You need this plan to be flawless, you need to keep it simple, but effective.)

3. Limit ammo.  (Its going to be hard to do, but save what you can)

4. Backup Plan, never leave home without it

5. If you have too, use gas to set houses a blaze

If you mange to set up a peace and water sharing agreement, make sure you have people at the water source as much as you can.

"Hoard of Survivors" - Pt6

One of the scouts reports a "hoard" of survivors coming your way.  You notice that some in your group are showing signs of emoticon.  Some are glad to hear it, while others fear it.  You don't know what these people will do when they get close, or anything for that matter.  

You need to take action now.  Put Plan A out on the table and get it going.  

As this group gets closer, you can see military type vehicles, and lots of uniformed people.  As this group approaches your area, they notice you.  As they slow to a halt and stop in front of your place, a guy hops out of the lead truck.  Before you speak to anyone, you are informed by one of your group members that Plan A is ready.

You decided to meet with this groups leader at your front gate armed..

You know Plan A is ready, and while talking one of your guys pulls you to the side...

"They've gotten us blocked in on all sides..."

*(Anything can happen, what I write below here is just an example story line type deal, it may not happen..)*

Plan A is a failure, so you start Plan B.

You notice the other groups leader getting a little bit edgy while talking..  He is up to something.

He flat out tells you "either you join us and share what you have, or we take it."

You crack a smile and tell him its not worth his group getting killed over a small amount of food.  You let him know that you have eyes all over the area, and if you must fight, you will do so.

As the leader of this other group is informed that there are people in these other houses..  Plan B has been set into motion.  The pale color of this guys face says it all, as he and his group proceed to back off and leave.

Time to play it safe - Pt5

You've managed to get everything completed.  Heck you may have a few months of food and water  saved up now.  It's time to play it safe, and by that I mean take it easy, but not too easy.

1. Keep your group working on daily tasks, and let them know that even though you've not seen many people around, does not mean someone is not watching...

2. Daily or Bi-Daily drills.  Do these with your group so they know what to do if they ever need to make a run for it.

3.  Keep security tight.  Don't let it slack too much, keep them on alert.

4.  Scouting.  Now that it has become a bit "relaxed" you may want to consider this option.  However give them a time limit on how long they need to be gone.  A normal scouting missing may take up to 5 hours or maybe less, depending on how far you are going.  Give them an hour to get there, 3 to look around, and 1 to get back.

5.  Never let anyone get too relaxed.  You may spend weeks or months with nothing happening around you.  Then again, you may not.

12/21/12 - Still Here!

Nothing Happened...

"Tard" The Grumpy Cat has the right mind set.  :3

Weapons - Pt4

You've done it!  You have yourself a group of maybe 10 people (example).  Your only problem now is defending yourself from those who want to take what you have.  You are limited to knifes and 3 guns and have limited ammo.  Your fear of scouting further than your safe zone has come true, you need to find food and water, and more weapons and ammo.  You have some hard choices to make...

1. Take one gun and a small hand full of ammo.  This is your "last resort" for anyone.

2. Know your area!  

3.  Once you are near your goal area, try to be fast as you can.

4.  If you find what you need, grab as much as you can carry, and then get the hell outta there.

5.  While you are at it, try finding some first aid kits.

6. Get back to your safe zone!! 

Your almost home free, but what is this?!  5 to 6 people in front of your safe zone...
