    while not really young, I did grow up in the video game generation, aka resident evil and I really think I could catch one and train it to find me more brains for tanning. and while headshots might be good for dispatching one, I think that dismembering the head and using the brain for my purposes would be much more beneficial.

    I would prefer incapacitating and dismembering as a better way of getting rid of zombies. that, or closing all the macdonalds resturaunts and eliminating late-nite talkshows...

    There will never be a consensus on such a cotriversial issue IMO.
    I'm about the same age .. A lil older.. Than YCC... I like his idea! But I imagine you run a higher risk of infection being exposed so often... Lol...
    I'd prefer some type of high-capacuty shotgun and a large cache of ammo.... A large caliiber pistol as backup... And of course, a machete to hack. At. Limbs when. Ammo runs dry.

    Honestly, this is a concern that I was totally unaware of until about 2 years ago. And yes, it's still an issue with younger men.

    I unwittingly walked into the middle of a debate taking place late one night around the fire-pit in my backyard. About a half dozen very bright college seniors, spurred on by cold beer, were debating the merits of using mechanical weapons vs. chemical weapons vs. energy weapons in our unavoidable showdown with zombies. I declined to offer an opinion when asked.

    After quietly collecting several sets of car keys, I retreated to the solitude of my livingroom.

    OMG! I can't believe we are talking about zombies again.

    hmmm, imagine meeting a zombieized grizzly.
    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    the problem with zombies is that there always seem to be too many of them.

    12ga. 3" shells with 00 buck loads sounded great as a kid, but in sober light, those things are heavy. in fact, most firearm ammo is heavy.

    this is why i like the machete/sword and the bat. the cricket bat is probably a superrior weapon to the baseball bat, as the oblong profile has blunt but thin sides which just look stellar for shattering bone.

    immolation would be nice too. i figure a bunch of small incendiary devices couldn't possibly be more cumbersome than 200rnd of shotgun ammo.

    The very good news is zombie grizzlies are lumbering giants. Fearsome, horrible, scare the pee waddins out of you vicious but slow. Hopefully, they will be slow enough so Winnie can sober up a bit and get those legs working.

    Live grizzlies are not "lumbering giants", why would zombie grizzlies?

    It's just the nature of the beast (God, I slay myself!!!). People turn into lumbering hulks. Even track stars become lumbering. So one can only assume that grizzlies would as well. Of course, that's only a theory, similar to global warming.
