You can have armed bears and razorbacks protecting your stash. Stop shooting them and have your son put them through Ranger training. It might be difficult, though, so stock up on pic-a-nic baskets to get the bears to cooperate with the Rangers.

Well, you better peak up fast. Piglets won’t wait.

As mentioned in the 2nd post, the [vault](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard_Global_Seed_Vault) is on the Svalbard islands, over 600 miles from Norway (and a really remote part of Norway at that).

These islands are a special territory that is not part of Norway or the Schengen Area.

Again, post apocalypse, if you make it there I’m sure the polar bears will appreciate the extra nutrition.

I haven’t been following zombi stuff lately, like since about 1985. So what happens when various zombi tribes meet and compete? Zombi farm workers mixing it up with zombi office workers, zombi factory workers, and zombi truck mechanics? And then the zombi seed-bank guards ferociously turn on the mortal polar bears, poor babies. It’s all downhill from there.

I say no fraternizing. Class matters in the Zombie culture. (:))

Since this is not GD, I think we’d best avoid discussing the Right to Arm Bears.

Nice!

when I read this to Bear the Siamese Cat I get clacking jaws and hissing 🙂
