Paladin Classic on Zombie Defense
This is an oldie but such a goodie. Mandatory reading for those averse to eating bugs.

Turns out even an Abrams tank is vulnerable to some approaches.
I drove personnel carriers for an artillery unit. A proper stone in the proper place would often break a tread and decommission the vehicle as the band wound itself around the axle. We would need the Army Corps of Engineers to rescue the vehicle in the field. Common during a drill but imagine when it happens in the middle of nowhere and rescue units don’t respond for six weeks or never. Now you got a sardine can cooking in the sun with zombies inside it who are too scared to even pop the hatch.
I noticed that a bag of sugar poured into the gas tank of a mobile artillery gun by a bitter soldier getting chaptered out disabled it so badly the engine had to be replaced and afterwards when that didn’t actually fix it, the gun ended up being a lawn sculpture in the motor pool with no practical use whatsoever forevermore.
With proper preparation and mindset, there isn’t a single weapon in a military arsenal that can’t be put out of operation in seconds with a clever attack on a vulnerable spot or a nice detour into a ravine behind some bushes. Usually the zombie driver can only see out through periscopes around the hatch. A bucket of paint splashed over those means they can’t see anything to even drive without steering it straight over a cliff. They are not sending their best and brightest into zombie corps nowadays so it doesn’t take much to thwart them. Zombies can obey but they are trained not to reason or think very hard before plunging forward.
Study it well. You may need it when you are under assault by zombies and it seems like they are holding all the cards.

P.S. Notice how relevant the information is because the U.S. military has not improved or replaced any of their equipment in the thirty years since it was first published. It might as well have come out yesterday.

I sincerely appreciate any help I can get for the Zombie Apocalypse. Times are tough in my small town so I definitely appreciate it when it’s free. I honestly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. ♥️ 🤗
Uncle Ragnar books were always worth reading just for his stories as entertainment. The how-to was great as well. I was mentored by Kurt Saxon. The survivor volumes, granddad series and poor man’s James Bond series. The only authorized dealer of Kurt saxons books is a seller on eBay who has all his works on a two dvd-rom set. Around $30 if I remember correctly. I would love to find them all as pdf files. Kurt designed the disks to act as an offline website so it treats each page as a file. Makes printing a pain in the butt.
