This lovely view of my right arm illustrates that I am a geek – in this case a geek up a ladder while raising a 30 foot radio antenna.
You may be wondering why I happened to be up the ladder while raising the antenna or why the hell I was bothering to raise a 30 foot antenna in the first place. It’s actually quite simple.
Zombies.
Yes, zombies.
When the inevitable flood of the undead dead is lurching around in search of fresh brains to eat and chaos erupts, I will be able to establish and maintain communications the base on my 2 meter radio. Obviously this would be to call for reinforcements, more ammo, an air strike or worse comes to worse, more Chardonnay and a steaming hot pizza or two.
If you know your zombies this will all make sense – if you don’t, well, remember that the zombies just want to be your friends.
I should mention that I don’t particularly like ladders or ascending them and this little project involved drinking a lot of Scotch. Whether before, after or during is up to you to guess…
Oh, and I was up the ladder as there were a few stray zombies in the area and they had eaten all of my helpers.

I love it! But I have to say that I’m personally torn about whether or not to try to communicate with “strangers” when the Zombies come. Firstly, people are the key ingredient in making Zombies, so maybe it’s not such a good idea to call a bunch of people and tell them to come over. Secondly, with the breakdown on law, how do you know someone with more firepower than you won’t just show up and take all of your stuff?
Either way, great post.

It’s really quite reasonable, this design. I’d have to agree with the comment about adding more fresh meat to the mix…you might not be zombie snacks, but other, dumber survivors just might.
