Zombie Contingency Plan - Part 1: Moscow Apartments -OR- I live in a box

Getting down to business, it's about time that I gave a report as to how zombie-proof my living situation is.  If this notice is coming any later than it should, I hope to dispel all of your worries by showing you, despite how densely populated this area is, it may actually be the safest* place I've ever lived.

First, this is what the area I live in looks like.  Well suited for any post-apocalyptic scenario, don't you think?

You can only see two buildings here, but I assure you, there is row after row here--which of course means plenty of other survivors and plenty of (household) supplies.  Of course this also means there are plenty of potential zombies in the immediate surrounding, but this is nothing to worry about--Russian apartments are almost as difficult to get out of as they are to get into.  Behold:

This place is a fortress.

I'm pretty sure everything in this (and probably every) building is made of either cast-iron or concrete.

Above is a picture of the front door which requires an eight-digit code (31k9387) to open.  Sometimes I see rats running around outside (the possible source of such a pandemic).  But that's okay because we've got our own guard cat (although I guess that could lead to a zombie cat...).

You may already have seen how cozy it is inside the apartment.  All amenities included and such.  But did you know we've also got a thoroughly russified first-aid kit?  This is some serious shit.

It's even got a tourniquet--useful for that first small bite to a buddy's arm or leg, when it seems worthwhile to try simply severing the limb (Maybe the infection hasn't spread yet!) rather than shooting him in the head straight away.

So the supplies I've got here in the apartment are as follows:

-first-aid kit

-multi-tool/knife thing

-big maglight flashlight

-a ladder (for emergency exits from the second floor)

-an iron (unfortunately it's the best weapon sort of deal in the apartment)

-about a week's worth of food (which is really the only thing that would put a timer on locking myself in here)

I still need to get:

-duct tape

-binoculars

Overall, this apartment makes a pretty decent stronghold--probably built this way with some old Soviet suspicion that foreign invasion was always just on the horizon.  Zombies being just one of those threats.

Still, I wish I had a proper weapons cache.  At least a baseball bat or something.  With so many babushkas tottering about outside, with the male life expectancy what it is, and with suicide being a pretty big problem in Russia, the death rate must be fairly high here.  Meaning zombies galore.  I'll definitely need a way to fight back. . .

--edit:  On a completely side note, I just found out about this movie and I'm downloading it now (thanks Brady).  So I haven't seen it yet, but you all should definitely go out and rent it when it comes out.  I have a pretty good feeling about this one.
