Hm. Well, before the last year or so, I would've said my area never has earthquakes or tornadoes. And yet...

[Red Calypso]

You had both?

[Gallagher]

Sure have. Been scaring the crap out of us 'round here, too.

[Red Calypso]

*nods* Then you understand how I feel. The weather is getting crazier and crazier and if it's affordable I'd like to be prepared.

[Gallagher]

So true... We're less and less prepared every time something happens, it seems.

[Red Calypso]

*nods* Of course, it has to be affordable. It probably won't be.

[Gallagher]

... Yeah, usually it isn't...

[Red Calypso]

Do you think I'm silly for even thinking about it?

[Gallagher]

Not at all. I worry about those sorts of things a lot myself.

[Red Calypso]

*nods* Better safe than sorry.

[Gallagher]

Yepp...

And this is why I need to get more shooting practice and get to studying! The zombie apocalypse won't magically prepare me when it shows up, after all.

[Red Calypso]

What kind of studying do you need to do for a zombie invasion?

[Gallagher]

To successfully survive, you need a lot of skills! Cooking is a big one, so you can make the most of whatever you have. Same with some agricultural basics, and knowing what you would need to more or less take care of any breedable wildlife in the area. Being able to work with wood, metal, and such is a bonus as well. As far as at least somewhat useful skills go, I can weave baskets, sew, know first-aid and CPR, and a few random tricks here and there.

My bio mom got me started on the zombie thing.

I recommend the Foxfire book series.

Oh, lovely. Books are sure to come in handy.

[Red Calypso]

I've always wanted to buy that series.
