Saw an episode of doomsday preppers years ago. These dudes had a whole property out in Oregon or Washington state designed to endure a potential onslaught of zombies.
They had to quickly evacute their property and leave all their fancy stuff, because of a very real forest fire that came to visit, for which they were entirely unprepared.
I've been finding the crazy building in arid environments odd, because even aside from forest fires, if your water supply dries up, you're going to have to uproot and move to a state or location with a reliable water source. And you'll be part of a big mass of climate migrants at that point.
"Zombies". If you let them talk, it'll be pretty obvious that they're looking for a legal loophole to kill somebody. "Zombies" just means city people, which just means black people. They'll kill a white guy if that's what their lifelong dream comes to, but they'd feel bad about it later.
I'd rather not talk to them, unless it's for camping supply recommendations.
Even then I wouldn't do it because they'll recommend the most over the top version of every product. When really all you want is a cheap camping stove which you're probably going to use for 2 weeks out of the year.
