2. What Would be Your First Crafted Weapon Choice?
After taking baby steps into a post-apocalyptic world, we were wondering what would be your first choice for crafting a weapon. As mentioned on a previous page, you didn't have much of imagination with this one, which makes it the second worst post in the series.

Gabe Rance: a gun, that shoots, and kills.., Cody Linzmeier: Knife for close quarters for stealth and bow especially a very easy to build easy to maintain and the arrows can be made of wood so good supply of arrows and if you know where to aim the enemy won't even know what hit them, Alex Song: bow and arrows!
Funny comments;
Dick Dickerson: I can make a gun cuz I'm a gun Blacksmith and I make guns for breakfast. But I don't eat them. I would die and I would be able to in the first place. It wouldn't fit., Danny OhSoWhite: I'd turn a waffle maker into a flamer?., Sgt. Alistair: Shishkabob! Stab-n-Eat convenience!

Goshen Nazo (Crimson Death): Find a naturally fortified area and build a small hot fire for light and to cook with, Nattalie Moyer: gathering supplies in a gas mask scrambling for spare filters, John Mahler: Hiding., Lunar Sol - Nights Eye: Hunt a few animals, build a fire and cook the food then put it out so as not to give away my position.

4. Would You Build Your Own Shack?

You have survived the first week of a real Fallout (somehow), and now you began to think about longer terms. First thing that comes in mind is a place where you will stash all of your belongings and sleep with ease, that will shelter you from various storms, cold and unwanted guests.
As mentioned on a previous page, you didn't have much imagination when it comes to building your own shack, which make this the worst post in the series.

Experiment Closure
We then posted on both, Google+ and Facebook page, posts where we summed up all the posts in one, and you can find some pretty good comments there.
Anyways, I really hope you've enjoyed this whole "experiment" as much as I did. This was by far the biggest one we ever did so far, and I hope we will do some more in the near future. It was not easy to read trough more than 1100 comments, and read all the other data, but I enjoyed every second of it! I would appreciate it very much if you would share your thoughts about the whole If Fallout Was Real experiment on Google+ and Facebook post.
Thank you again for being such a lovely test subjects, Vault-Tec inc. couldn't be more proud about their fans! Cheers!
