I know of a little country house, that would be very easy to defend; since three out of four sides of the property have a canal running along side it. The odd side out; I'm getting a back-hole and digging a six foot trench and placing sharpened steel pipes in the trench so zombies will just fall into the death trench. Then I'll use a small flamethrower to burn the bastards.
Plus, I have extra land to grow crops, raise a few animal: chickens, milk cows, pigs, and maybe get one or two horses.
Pipes will be useless, as zombies have to be killed in dah head.
It would just make it worse for you.
The pipes would be used in the six foot trench fall pit; when zombies come walking along they'd fall into the trench and get impaled by the sharpen pipes. No they may not land face down on a sharpened pipe, but that's were the flamethrower comes in handy. Any zombie still alive will get roasted by the weekly or sooner burning of the trench; it depends on how many zombies come walking along.
Additionally; during the construction of this Fall Trench/Pit; the pipes will be cemented down in the bed of the trench so they won't move out of place. The pipes will also be placed 1x1 in feet and stand about 3-4 feet tall. The flamethrower will come from a irrigation company that is on the back of a trailer they use for burning hundreds of miles of irrigation ditches out before the farming season. The use of steel pipes is for durablitiy. Wooden spikes will burn and have to be replace, aluniman can melt, so steel or copper pipes would be the better choice and they commonly don't make 2inch iron pipes, plus most piping companies are trying to replace iron pipes because of rusting.
I'm saying that the piping won't matter, sense you have to get a zombie in the head and they might land on anything, which won't really effect them that much. Falling into a pit means they will most likely die anyways, sense they can't get out and will starve.
Also you will run out of fuel FAST, as flamethrowers are very poor weapons plus, where are you going to get one? Maybe pouring some gasoline over the top or something.
I'd just use a spear and go around poking some zombies. That way I have range and don't have to worry about wasting materials and stuff, or that if someone who isn't a zombie falls in an impales themselves well, that won't happen obviously.
It does matter, the addition of the pipes (spikes) provides a greater defensive advantage. Though not all zombies may become impaled on the pipes (spikes); it is more likely that the will get impaled then not. When I observe the movements of these zombies in the show and other show, they are not that stable of walkers, so it would be rear for them to land on their feet during a six foot fall. Even if they did, they’d have to land face forward or with their back against the wall and be forced to crawl. Staggering each role of pipes (spikes) would make it difficult for the zombies to reach the other side of the wall and increases the chances of a zombie being impale in more then once stop.
Take away the pipes (spikes), you it would provide them that chance to get up and walk freely, even climb out of the trench/pit since the walls would be nothing more then dirt. The deeper you dig the pit the high chance you have for the trench/pit caving in. If such was to happen, all those zombies in the pit would climb up out of the trench/pit then you’d have to deal with all of them face on; this would greatly increase the chance of being over-run. If a cave in should occurred with the trench/pit with the pipes (spikes); likely less zombies would emerged from that trench/pit. Making chances of being over ran less likely, but that chance still remains.
As for the flamethrower; I did say where I’d get the flamethrower from, you must have missed that part. I have a feeling you are thinking about an man-portable flamethrower too. It’s not; it’s a 200 gal. propane fueled flamethrower that sits in the back of a pick-up truck. It has the same range of the man-portables, but isn’t as strong, but still will do the job. It is used during the summer to burn the weeds and trash that as collected in the irrigation ditches over the off seasons of farming in my region. The tactical defensive advantage of this flame-truck, allows people to keep their distances from the pit, but deal with the threat lurking in the pit. These that chance of walking on the edge of the trench/pit and the ground giving away; which, would place on in the pit. Likely dead regardless if there’s spikes present or not if there’s zombies walking around. Stabbing a zombie in the head with a spear; one would still risk getting pulled in. With the flame-truck; the truck can be two yards away from the pit and the flame gun operator can still reach the pit from this distances. I know, because I’ve used this flamethrower in the past.
As for fuel for this flamethrower; it doesn’t run off of gasoline or diesel, but propane. Luckily, propane is easier to acquire then gasoline and diesel. There is a propane distribution company, just a few miles out of town; they have enough propane to fuel one persons home for about 50 yrs +, I believe this propane silos contain 50,000 or more gallons of propane. On top of that, about 80% of my population in my town uses propane to heat their homes through the winter. These house have 200-300 gal. propane tanks sitting in their back yards. So fuel is pretty much covered.
Using any of the flame throwers I can get my hands on, would not be used as a offensive weapon; though it is possible to an extent. These flamethrowers would be used as a defensive; ammo would be harder to get my hands on them propane. There are two larger trailer-pulled flamethrowers that I know the locations of and possibly a third located at another irrigation company. Luckily for me, I know how to operate them and they’d be put to use as defensive weapons One aimed on the main bridge, one on the west walk-bridge, and if I can get my hands on the third it will be aimed on the south walk-bridge. Both walk-bridges will be barricaded by bare-wire.
The trench/pit would be located on the eastern perimeter, as the second to last defensive perimeter. Even coming towards this land; one would have to cross one of the following: Dam, Lake, or canal. There’s also already two fences that are up; additionally, two sets of gates would be placed on the damn, there’s another gate that’s already up (Because I helped put it up in 95), double bar-wire fences would be put up to. Hopefully they’ll get tangled in the wire and be forced to crawl. And five yards before the trench there’d be a wooden fences.
Hell yeah, there’d be signs warning about the upcoming dangers. If one can’t read “Danger Trap Pit Ahead” and understand a skull and crossbones or a stick figure falling into a pit with spikes...
Also, I rather put up with the temporary smell of burning flesh the a long term smell of rotting meat.
And honestly, I likely would have more resources then most people would if such an outbreak was to occur that I can pull from the region I live in.
