This is absolutely dreadful and ties in with my previous posts. My thoughts are with all of you. When will our governments get real and reinforce the borders with a proper system of control and protect their electorate. Chaos is rife, order is collapsing, people are dying. What else can convince you to act now…or are you waiting until it happens to you? You fail us and have for years.
This may sound a bit cruel but the figures speak for themselves. We have had immigration in the UK for years, and now Sweden tell us we aren’t doing our fair share to help all these refugees. What the f**k? Your countries twice the size our ours and you have less than one fifth our population!
Population Britain – 64.1 million
Size – 229,848 km2
Population Sweden – 9.5 million
Size – 449,964
Morgan Johansson – there’s your figures. Bugger you tight ass!
Our country is pissing £50 million a day into Europe so apply for some of that! See where the EU has got us? Grabbing sods! 64.1 million people on our little island, we have our own problems we arnt Europe’s garden shed!!
OK sorry to dwell on a light hearted subject, but for some of us its downright fun! Today’s little entry on being a Zombie Apocalypse Survivor is all about bug out bags. For those of you unaware, this is a term given to a backpack in which you keep rations and equipment. A typical bug out bag is the same size as the one this guy is carrying.
Inside it he keeps everything from weapons to camping gear, fishing equipment to the obligatory first aid kit, along with three days of water and rations. That’s got to be a heavy kit.
This got me thinking about how fast the Zombies would be? In Night Of The Living Dead, they shambled along at about 2 miles per hour. (Seriously more horrid, imagine how slow death would be if you was caught).
Resident Evil or The Walking Dead has them strolling along at about normal walking speed, 4 miles per hour.
The remake of Dawn Of The Dead had them running like Usain Bolt with a rocket up his ass. 7 miles per hour. (WTF? They’re dead, they have rigour mortis and rotting muscles and ligaments!!! Get real Hollywood!)
Now I don’t know about you but i think the guy in the PIC above may have a bit of bother if it came to running. Though his pack is ideal for three days of camping after a natural disaster etc or getting otherwise stranded, I think a more ideal Zombie Apocalypse bug out bag would allow you to move around more freely. A sports sized one like in this PIC for example.
They generally have about three or four compartments and are large enough to carry a couple of days of rations, first aid, and various other bits such as tarp and line, and the foil ‘space blanket’ for warmth. However provided its packed carefully you should still be stealthy enough to outrun at least the first two types of Zombie. I’d rather have that chance and scavenge anything else I need as and when needed. The chances of surviving such an event is pretty low, so I need to be as agile and prepared.
I shall endeavour to assemble such a kit and introduce you to it here in a little while. Of course, such is the way of the world the big bug out bag is more appropriate in the reality. The Zombie one is just for shits n giggles.
Jam out!
Following on from yesterday’s post (do read it first if you haven’t already), I have test ran a simulated diet a typical survivor could forage together if the incident occurred albeit a couple of months out of season.
3 medium sized tomatoes
2 medium sized carrots
5 radishes
Some meat free sausages.
I ate in that order too, after the second tomato I already felt quite full. Though each one doesn’t even contain 20 calories, they are packed with anti oxidants. The carrots contain a couple of good nutrients of course, and the radishes, despite tasting like a mouthful of table pepper. The Quorn sausages were very high in protein but also almost equally high in fat. About 12g of both per 100g. Just 4 sausages contained 124 calories. These would probably be made by grinding up mushrooms and biscuits in a post Zombie Apocalypse world.
All these were washed down with a coffee made with cold water. All in all I feel like I’ve eaten well and the whole lot came to about 450-500 calories. I shall endeavour to eat in this fashion where ever possible, certainly lunchtimes. Let’s see if I feel any better for it!
(Spoilers if you haven’t seen the latest Walking Dead yet)
The aforementioned episode of The Walking Dead was not only good but also a little inspirational for me. I am referring to what Morgan was served whilst he was in the prison cell. Naturally the rations were very basic and consisted of some sliced tomato with 2 burgers which turned out to be veggie burgers . That was a main meal . I am guessing it did not contain more than 200 calories . Desperate times of course . However it must have been rather healthy and I am wondering if I could manage to live on a menu of things grown found or foraged for a few days and whether it will make me feel healthier on the inside . Although I will not be entirely vegetarian I shall do my best to avoid meats whenever possible including meat products . Any other needed calories will be made up with candy bars but for the most part I shall be eating more fruit and vegetables and other cereals and roughage. Of course I will be taking vitamin supplements once per day with added iron. That’s allowed because I have some in my bug out bag.
Fingers crossed .
Some sad news this morning may be the kick up the arse I’ve needed to look after myself a bit better. I’ve enjoyed the past two years, made great new friends and been to some cool venues but I must say I’ve let myself go a bit in a stubborn defiance of accepting I’m middle aged now. Time to get healthy n active again on a proper basis , let’s face it…. none of us know when we won’t get chance anymore.
It’s also made me realise just how precious family and friends are. We should cherish every moment we have with those we love, and embrace every second we are alive for the better no matter the weather.
I know the titles an innuendo but on this occasion it just reflects the way I feel after getting sloshed yesterday night. Best thing to come out of it, probably this photo which has become my most liked photo on Facebook this year….and as far as I remember, all-time. Go me!!!
Funny thing is nobody came round anyway haha!
Who remembers Fighting Fantasy gamebooks by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone? The original story The Warlock Of Firetop Mountain gets a 21st century makeover, and YOU can get a slice of the action!!!

Came across this photo today of the great man himself. Turns out it is the last photo of Freddie Mercury before he passed away almost 24 years ago. Maybe that’s Delilah standing next to him?
Brings it all home that we aren’t here forever. I hit the big 40 next year and cannot believe how quickly the last 20 years have rolled by. Queen are my all time favourite band and have been since I was a kid. Although I haven’t followed any of their stuff since Greatest Hits 3. Any non Fred content just isn’t Queen in my eyes.
Here’s to you Mr Bulsara!
Had a nice Saturday afternoon following a half day at work. Was hoping one of the three Fighting Fantasy books I ordered had turned up but still no sign yet. However my Xmas shopping has started to arrive. Apologies to nieces and nephews, its great nieces and nephews turns for the better presents. Well let’s face it, Xmas is a magical time for kids. That magic died for me back in the mid 80s when I was about 10. Even though I am an atheist and feel slightly hypocritical sending presents, I don’t ask for anything in return. It is a Christian celebration after all. Commercialised by the power of media and the greed of excessive consumerism. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for a bit of that and corrupt as the next guy, but it should be a different day for the non church attenders.
Why the hell am I ranting? Have a great day everyone! 😀
