This last weekend my wife and I went and spent the night at another couples house. Over the course of the night I was engaged in a conversation with our friends fiance and we ended up talking for hours in detail about our government andthe history of the government. We then started theorizing on conspiracy theories, and proofs that were out there that no one was really looking like. I am now, dedicating this blog not to personal life issues, but for the time being my and his findings on conspiracy theories that are going unanswered, and falacies in our government and in the founding of America. Do NOT mistake these postings as my being unpatriotic, as that is in no way the case, but these questions need to be asked.
here is your first food for thought to chew on.

Coolest Dog EVER
Ok so I havent gotten on in a while, until today something sparked my interest worth blogging about.
The KARELIAN BEAR DOG.
Now, ive met some pretty stinking awesome dogs in my day. However this dog puts them ALL to shame. This dog is bred from birth to attack.......yeah you guessed it FRIGGEN BEARS. Said to be one of the bravest and fearless dogs, they are extremely territorial. They are bred to be independant, and can hunt for hours at a time without any contact with their master. They are trained to attack a bear relentlessly untill the bear either turns back, or it kills the bear.
I FRIGGEN WANT ONE!!!!
heres some pics.....ok the top one isnt real but its funny ;)

ZOMBIE SURVIVAL PART II
Now You Must Find A Hold For Yourself
Assuming that we are still talking about a Class 3 (worldwide) from yesterday, there are certain inevitable factors that will take place. First, total takeover. Zombies will be the dominant predator on the planet. The only survivors will be small groups of scattered human resistance, and the bandits, thieves and renegades trying to rob them. So when preparing your defense you must realize that you are not only defending from the undead, but also the thieving hoards of the living.
After I start describing how to choose and fortify your position you might be thinking that you are going to have a difficult time acquiring materials used to complete these objects described. Keep in mind ITS THE END OF THE WORLD!!! home depot is like our free toys r us for tots.
Swamps
bad bad Bad BaD BAD! swamps are an altogether death trap. The lack of ability to maneuver silently due to the wet environment is suicide.
You already have to deal with the living dead and thieves. You don't need to be needlessly worrying about being bitten by poisonous snakes, spiders, and have to deal with crocodiles.
Lastly and arguably the most important, the undead do not breath. they can utilize their respiratory system to moan, but they do not need a flow of oxygen to the body or brain to function. This gives Zombies the ability to walk on the bottom of water. They are not agile enough to swim, but they can slowly trudge along the bottom of rivers, lakes or other smaller water systems. This means that even after clearing an area to make sure its safe, unless you own sophisticated Scuba gear and are willing to brave the murky abyss, the swamp will more than likely contain the undead that you cannot see until they resurface. This inability to clear an area is unacceptable and could be your ultimate downfall.
JUNGLE
Same rules as swamps apply. Lack of visibility due to density of the Forrest is a bad factor to have when keeping distance from zombies is your best form of survival. Also, snakes, poison arrow frogs; not the most attractive environment available.
URBAN
Do not under any circumstances, build your long term fortification here. At first sign of an outbreak, your home IS probably the best place for you to dig in. You know where important items are located, and where you need to barricade. Also, during the first week of an infestation, the highways, freeways, overpasses, and many other forms of passage will be blocked off with bumper to bumper traffic. Staying in your home will be your best bet to avoid all of the immediate turmoil and panic of the outside world.
Other than this first initial period of survival, Rural areas should be avoided at all costs unless resupplying. Too many corners, too many alleys, too many attics and windows. There are too many crooks crannies and dark corners for the undead to be lurking in, doorman, waiting to erupt in a hunger driven rage.
DESERT
There are both pros and cons to this environment/terrain type.
The main positive is as fallows.
Zombies are nothing more than a human body infected by a virus. The human body still deteriorates naturally. Now take a human body, and strip it of all nutrients. It has no source of water incoming to replenish the body, and it is never washed. This increases the deterioration rate. A Zombie body will deteriorate completely in approximately 5 years. In a desert environment, this time is cut down to about 2 years.
The Cons of living in the desert are obvious, lack of water, lack of food, dehydration. But hey if you are smart enough to live in the desert and be able to survive long term, go get em' tiger.
Your Best Course Of Action
Keep in mind when I say best, I am admitting that there is no perfect solution. Unless your family owns a medieval castle with a moat and a 50 ft high brick wall, highly unlikely, you will have to get creative. Remember you are trying to fend off not online the zombie hoards, but also raiders and thieves.
An Ideal spot would be somewhere isolated. A two story rural farmhouse with flat planes surrounding would be a wise choice. You don't want anything on a mesa or a plateau. Though the "king of the hill" advantage would be enticing for feeble minds, you don't WANT to draw attention to yourself.

Whilst viewing a friends blog, I was intrigued by his article on tree houses. Not your ordinary one story play pen, but elaborate, intricate wood workings of wonder! observe.

obviously I could never design something this elaborate, however if you are more skilled than I, the only downside that I can see to this option is obviously a fire. :)
Also I couldnt immagine building one of these amazements whilst trying to defend your position.... but hey, keeping yourself entertained is a key part in keeping your sanity.
Dispelling fallacy's
Malls are poo poo. Dawn of the Dead was entertaining, but not methodical. Malls are made largely of GLASS. how will that hold out against an army of dead?
Banks despite being built to protects its contents, offer nothing really valuable.
Churches, actually older ones, may be a good place to stay for a short period of time. Older chapels generally only had one entrance, and the windows were many feet above the ground.

ZOMBIE SURVIVAL PART I
First you must defend
YOURSELF
I was thinking of what to write about, and I thought about a book that i am reading via my loverly wife for valentines day "The Zombie Survival Guide" Max Brooks. This hypothetical subject comes up for me in discussion every so often, (due to boredom at work combined with a bunch of gung ho macho men) and back home my zombie killer accomplice Cody and I spent many a sleepless night contemplating the event of a "zombie Apocalypse".
I'm not going to go into great detail, if you want that, get the book and do some research for yourself, but I am going to point out a few things that might not have come to your mind.
For the examples of what I am going to give you are for a class 3 or 4 infestation. (worldwide)
And yes, if you havent caught on already, I AM INDEED an army NERD
First, let me dispel the idea that the bigger the guns the better off you are. You dont need to go Rambo on Zombies. M240b and m2.50 will be virtually useless for the fact that they are not mobile an ,important factor. It is too easy to get overrun and you need to be able to quickly abandon your current position. Heavy machine guns even the Army's SAW(squad automatic weapon) weighs 17 lbs without ammo. Heavy machine guns weigh at least 27 lbs+ this is not tactical. They also not only burn through ammo quicker, but with the extra firepower comes the temptation to not make shots count, therefore wasting ammo. Not cool.
A factor that a lot of people don't think about, is that zombies don't have super telekinetic power, they respond to sound and sight just as humans do. They react to the sound of us, the scuffing of our feet, the sound of us talking and They respond to each others moans.(their only form of communication, (which signals others of close dinner) What easier way to acquire prey than to go towards THE SOUND OF FRIGGING GUNFIRE!!! SERIOUSLY! This observation would show that silent weapons would show a tactical advantage towards the living dead. Compact bows for example are (after becoming fluent with it) an excellent choice to eliminate said dead. Crossbows are another nifty device in infected disposal.
I'm not saying that firearms do not have their place, but you must take into account ammo, cleaning, maintenance and upkeep, and sound. When choosing your firearm of choice, first think of ammo availability. What caliber of rounds are easily accessible? Second, the complexity of the firearm. A good thing about civilian VS. military weaponry in general is that the former are less complex, easier to maintain, and therefore, clean and upkeep, and disassemble in case of emergency to correct a malfunction in a hurry. A good example of all of these factors would be a Ruger mini 14 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruger_Mini-14 or some sort of a .22 rifle. Though not the stopping power of a 30.06 or a .308, rounds will be relatively easily to come by (any gun outlet, military supply or even Wal Mart will Carry these rounds) but also their semi automatic capabilities and general easy to use nature will be priceless factors while fighting the living dead.
**For sidearms including pistols and shotguns use same logic as applied for the rifle. Ammo **availability and maintenance, along with tactical advantage. Dont go get a stinking Desert **Eagle, get something more practical and with less recoil. But try to go with a bigger cal. than **a .9mm. Though its easy to come by ammo, you will want more stopping power than **a .9. Good alternatives would be a .40 or a .45
You will also need to add to your inventory a weapon which requires no ammo. Now, there are many options for this. Everything from an aluminum bat to a crowbar will work, but you need to take in factors of wear and tear and usage. For example, while a Katana might get the job done, you must be skilled with this weapon, and chances are you own a replica that is not meant to be slicing through undead cartilage for days on end. Crowbars are great since they have multiple applications but who wants to tote around an 11lb bar? Try to stick to the fallowing,
Machetes- easy to maintain and sharpen and easy to transport.
My personal favorite http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trench_knife But make sure you get the one you use has the brass knuckle attatchment.
*Another excellent selection if you can find it. http://media.photobucket.com/image/shaolin%20spade/sirrapealot90210/78_big.jpg
* This weapon is great for decapitating at long ranges, and the longer you keep the living dead away, the more promising your future looks.
