That is not funny. I have a two friends who are Zombies! I am tired of the rampant stereotyping that goes on in this board.
I really like the Zombie Squad forums.
I take it as the younger generation's way of learning and talking suvivalism without all the doom-and-gloom and insurrectionist talk. There's a lot of good (and not so tasteful) humor there. Sort of a dry, gallows-humor approach to accepting and preparing for hard times.
I agree, but I think some of them also take it too far with the role play

If you look in the stickies in the Bug Out Gear, Firearms, and Other Weapons forums, they have some serious hardware, a lot of it a lot better than I have. So although they take a humorous approach, they are serious about their stuff.
My favorite post was several months ago when one of the guys bought a Wal*Mart tent and some tear gas grenades and had his wife film him gassing himself to see if his surplus gas mask worked (it did). Priceless.
I just stumbled across this site while looking for reviews on a knife. After I got done laughing my bawls loose for about 15 minutes, I started reading some of the posts. This was a funny one post that caught my eye. The simplicity is what does it for me.

I know I've said this before but here goes again anyway!
I kind of like the ZS forums...there is a really wide range of people there, from people I wouldn't trust with a sharp pencil to some fairly serious survivalists. It seems to attract two basic groups: guys with definite survival expertise, and kids who are into horror movies. Sometimes you can turn people from group two into people from group one. But the average age there is probably fairly young and it can get pretty attitude-y at times. The worst are probably the people halfway between the two groups; they are still a bunch of geeky, angry, awkwardly hormonal youth, with enough knowledge to get mouthy, but not far enough down the road to be to tired to yell at each other anymore and willing to agree with each others' differences.
On the other hand we had Skammer and I think he was in his forties, so you can get mouthy pricks at any age and level of expertise, I guess.
One thing I really like about ZS is that because it's a bunch of young people, it's mostly people without a ton of money, so there is a lot of DIY action there.
Also it's good to see young people getting in to survivalism...can't maintain a movement made entirely of Mel Tappans forever.
On that note whatever happened to Skammer?On the other hand we had Skammer and I think he was in his forties, so you can get mouthy pricks at any age and level of expertise, I guess.

He disappeared around the time Noss did his destruction test of the Mora Clipper.
Didn't Skammer claim to have broken two Moras by walking on them?
In light of Noss's Mora test Skammers claim about Moras seems even less likely.
