I would also be hella disappointed if there is no zombie apocalypse. I think that's my ideal theatre of life. I would thrive for sure. I'm almost prepared so if it could kick off in about 12 months that would be great...
So excited man - My crossbow arrives today. I'm going to the archery centre to begin my training this weekend. I'll get my sights worked out using my laser-bore device and zero in at 50' for effective head-shots. I've ordered 3 dozen bolts for it, plus it comes with a few. Gonna try to mount a green day-laser and red dot with 3x magnifier behind it, to give me a choice of close or mid-range kills.
I'll post a pic once it's set-up.
And you won't regret getting the battle shovels. Cold Steel also make a 'trench-hawk', and they make legit Katana's too, not the ally ones - the real deal. I already have their AK47 folding knife, which is awesome.
