Rewiew post; The last?...


I have learned many things from this research project. I learned that the degree of difficulty required in finding a piece of information on the internet is dependent on your interest or perseverance on the topic. I learned that I enjoy diving quite a bit more when I have the vocabulary to describe what I see and feel. I also learned about myself.
                I am a good writer, but a better diver. In doing this project and putting into words what I hadn’t had the knowledge to say, and in so I rekindled my love for the beautiful underwater universe. Ninety five percent of the ocean is unexplored. There is so much out there to see and find. You just have to look. I learned about the best gear and locations to dive in as well.
                I learned that I would survive, and most likely thrive, in a zombie apocalypse. I know all of the best weapons and equipment, most of which are in my house. I know all of the best locations to stay in when surviving, and when to move if the situation gets too hot. I know how to get to all of my best and most valuable friends’ house to pick them up.
                I learned that certain music stimulates certain parts of the brain, and everyone is stimulated by a certain type of music. If we are listening to anything else, our minds close to a degree. Everyone has their personal drumbeat.
                As for the most challenging aspects… they were many. Finding information online was harder and harder as I lost interest, but even when I had a renewed interest finding the needle in the haystack was near impossible. Also, in the beginning, it was hard to put my diving experience into words. But as the project went on, and my vocabulary improved, it got easier. It got a bit overwhelming at times, but I calmed myself down and used my knowledge to its fullest extent.
                There is so much beauty and color underwater. Not so much red, because it is lost as you go deeper, but if you go at night and bring your own light source it looks so much better. Also, there is more life at night on account of the fact that most underwater life is nocturnal.

Zombie warfare

What are your best bets fore weapons and gear in the case of the zombie apocolypse? This is a question of much debate in the Zombie world. You'll need an assault rifle, at leat one sidearm, a melee weapon, an explosive, and a long range weapon. For gear, youll need slings and holsters for all your weapons, along with survival and medical kits. now we will discuss the weapons.

Assault rifle:
The ak-47 assault rifle is very powerful. The 7.62 round packs enough of a punch to easily take the head of a zombie, but the accuracy leaves something to be desired. The ar-15, however, still packs the punch of the 223 or 5.56 round, and the accuracy of 975 meters a second. This accuracy will be essential for long range killing, this can be your mid- to long range weapon for the war against zombies. it doesnt take much skill to operate.

Sidearm:
No bows and arrows, or crossbows. The best weapon is a pistol that is accurate but still packs a punch. A 1911 colt .45 is the gun most recognised, but a glock would be better. They almost never jam, and are durable to boot. The glock .40 is the best, and almost all glocks will fire underwater. They are very popular and easy to find.

Melee:
The common misconception caused by zombie movies is that the chainsaw is a great melee weapon. This is not true. It kills slowly and uses gas, a valuable resource in the zombie war. A much better weapon would be a piece of rebar, or a machete. both are quick and efficient in dispatching the undead. The rebar is heavier, but the small contact point caused by the swing kills suprisingly well. Sharpen the end on a grinder to make it all th more effective. The machete, however, must be kept sharp to be efficient.

Survival kits:
Your local army/ navy store will have a simple survival kit containing; a dehydrated washcloth, water purification table, space blanket, wire saw, distance of 550 cord, a small fishing hook and line, a multi-tool or swiss army knife, and it will all be in a sealed water bottle. If you dont have an army navy store, go to youre nearest small store and scavenge these things.

Medical kits: The same locations as the survival kit, but this will contain; a trauma pad, tylonol, ibuprofen, triple antibiotic, plenty of band-aids, gauze, gauze tape, and a small finger splint. these are for small wounds. if you are bitten, cut off the bitten area within 20 seconds of the bite, or the whole limb.
