Pandemic Survival

Is there such a game where you have to survive, for example a pandemic, or survival in the wilderness etc. ???

thats exactly what Fallout 3 is about! Surviving in a Wasteland.

Pandemic survival tips video from the survival guide at www.readyforanythingnow.com This video discusses seven tips commonly recommended by the ...

Any survival horror will do but I find that Dead frontier is not quite in depth enough and games like urban dead and zombie pandemic bore me.So is there some game that I am missing or do I need to angrily email some company until I either start my own company or just wait for something to come out.

Any games that are in development are welcomed.

i wrote an article about the same problem some time ago

with a tremendously fast rate of mutation of flu viri it feels impossible to innoculate effectively. Quarantines, masks, limiting gatherings,and contact, does not gender hope. A natural immunity seems to me the only possible route for survival should the pandemic hit.

laugh a lot as it stimulates the brain to release steroids or some sort that makes your wounds heals faster . plus it's also a good remedy for anxiety and stress and it improves your emotion and sences .thus you will have a better chance of living in peace and tranquility .then eat healthyly as it decreases tha chances of having alteryol scelosis and you'll a better blood circulation which is also the body's third point of defense.dont use alcaline soap too much as it will scrub away the layer of acid that covers your skin which prevents harm ful bacteria from going into ur body. lastly practise "thai ci "

I'd like to get started in Ham radio for the sole purpose of survival communications (TEOTWAWKI, pandemic, grid-down, etc.)
I have NO prior experience.


My criteria are:
Minimal training
Low cost
Long distance communication.
Quick startup

I really don't want to get into "the wonderful world of Ham" just want to be able to communicate if TSHTF.

Give me a course of action.
For example someone said: Get your technician's license, get a 10 meter radio, get a CB antenna and you'll be ready to communicate 100s of miles. Correct?

If not, what are your recommendations? I need a game plan.

Thanks in advance.

Interesting scenario. I will assume that you don't want base antennas on your house or tower. Maybe you're in an apartment and can't have them anyway or they get taken out in the "disaster".

Communication with a max range of 5-50 miles. 2 meter (144 -148 MHz) handheld or mobile radio. The real factor of how far you can communicate is the antenna. A handheld radio with rubber duck antenna will get you a couple miles. The same radio with a Cushcraft Ringo Ranger II vertical antenna on top of a 30' fiberglass mast will get you 15 - 20 miles. A 50 or 75 Wattmobile with the Ringo will get you 40 - 50 miles. You could go with a mobile antenna and radio for the vehicle and get a 20 mile range too. The above mentioned antenna goes for $100.00, mast $60.00.

Single band 2m radios (handheld or mobile) cost about $100.00 - $150.00. Dual band radios (2m/70cm) are very common for $200.00. If there is a working repeater on 2m or 70cm, a handheld can effectively cover 50 miles. Repeaters with emergencies in mind will have back-up power and hams will rush to get antennas back up and fix/jerry-rig radio gear. After a day, some portable repeaters are sure to be on the air. A link below shows you where most repeaters are. Many repeaters are now linked together by the Internet. If you can reach one you can reach repeaters around the world.

A mobile used at home will need a 10-20 amp 12VDC power supply. Many handhelds can work off of external power too.

If you want to communicate 100's of miles, 1000's of miles (and even to a few stations locally), an HF (3 - 30 MHz) radio is what you want. These cost $400.00 - $10,000.00.

You can make a simple dipole antenna for a couple HF bands for the cost of wire, feedline and a few insulators. The same goes for VHF antennas. You can even make a VHF or UHF antenna McGyver would love just from the coax itself.

Sorry if you were looking for a simple answer. Because of "The wonderful world of Ham" there are a lot of possibilities. Public services are usually in awe of what Hams can do with emergency communications (Emcomm). There is a lot you can learn in Amateur Radio on this topic. I just scratched the surface.

The VHF/UHF are easier to use than HF and 2m only radios are as cheap as ham radio gets, for practical use that is. If there is a functional repeater nearby, you have regional coverage and easy (mobile) to no antenna set-up (handheld as is).

Non-ham solutions might be:

A 406 MHz Personal Locator Beacon (PLB). It transmits your GPS location (if it can) to satellites on 406 MHz and a locator beacon on 121.5 MHz.

CBs meet all your criteria except for 100's of miles coverage. There a good chance of finding some folks out there on channel 9. You will find more organized and connected networks on Ham though. A base antenna on top of that 30' mast might get you 20 miles.

If you want to bounce a few idea or specific scenarios off of me, feel free to E-mail. I'd feel so guilty if you didn't survive.
