A school next to a walmart...Ok, I'll pose this question here and give me and my son's responses and reasons.
Say a zombie apocalypses actually happened. Now you rural folk probably wont be too worried, but us city folk, well we would need some place secure if we could not get out of the city rapidly. So I posed to my son this question: If you had to find a place that was easy to secure but would be stocked for a while, where and what would you do.
My response: Take over a wal-mart. The doors can be locked and the entrances blockaded with items you won't need that are heavy. Most super centers have automotive departments that you could park a vehicle. They have food, clothes, cleaning supplies, health supplies, and some still have firearms and ammo. They even have plenty of air mattresses, blankets, pillows, etc. And if you can rig up a way to the roof you would have a good shooting floor for defense.
My son's response: take over a school. Plenty of room, locking doors. Has a kitchen. Not known to hold a lot of supplies so less of a target. Would need to make supply runs, but would be more secure than most other places.
Ok, now time for your thoughts.
Ive seen that before. At the local lake around where i grew up.One good option I would have is at the corps of engineers lake 10 miles north of me. The concrete ramp on the spill way has a 1950's
era fall out shelter built under it. It is a steel tunnel, covered by feet of concrete, with big heavy metal doors at both ends. We used to get
to go on tours of it in the 70's in grade school. It used to be stocked with rations, and water, probably all bad now. endless supply of water,
that of course would have to be purified, and lake to fish in, and surrounded by woods to hunt. Fairly remote, and pretty well hidden
access.
I’m looking at this as a SHTF situation, which I believe is very possible. Unfortunately I can’t get my wife onboard, she thinks I’m negative and a bit nuts… oh well… my major concern is water, regardless of where you “hold your ground” - I WISH I WAS in the country, but not. I’d say I hope a few of my neighbors could/would join in for additional aid and defense purposes. Not = we’re screwed..Agreed. I look at it this way, picture the economy crashing and we enter another great depression. What are all the people shuffling along looking down at their phones while trying to find their next handout going to look like?
Seriously if you plan for a zombie out break you are prepared for most SHTF scenarios.
Did your wife vote for Biden? Just kidding.I’m looking at this as a SHTF situation, which I believe is very possible.

It is now a private company that I helped install hundreds of cameras and the access control and security system. They have more trained security than you want to tangle with.I was in charge of a big remodel on the bank, basement and 2nd floor. Yep pretty secure. The basement was where the money was kept. Sat on 100 million dollars one day and ate my lunch. First and only time I saw 100,000.00 dollar bill, actually several of them. Found them on display board behind a door in a storage area. Called the guy upstairs that I dealt with and he said " Oh, we were wondering where that went".
