The ultimate ditch maker.

 

Not to mention what would happen if they ran over a bunch like Daryl did and got stuck.
using the flatbed on both sides of the fence would work in supporting it and making it slightly tougher for the walkers to push on the fence.

 

You're thinking like me. A moat is a good idea, but vastly labour-intensive if backhoes are not available, or if fuel is at a critical point - which I suspect would be by now. It'd take them a while, but building a defensive barrier of wooden spikes, like they had at the gate, and as Morgan had in various spots around town, would be ideal. Make it about 5-6 ft. deep, spikes protruding outward and upward, right at the outside fence and running right around the prison. This would keep walkers from reaching the fence, protecting it from becoming weakened. All they'd have to do is run a patrol around every morning to get rid of the skewered walker-bodies. And I'm guessing there'd be no shortage of wood to make this, given the vast area of forest surrounding them. Yep, it'd take them a while to complete it, but it could be done.

 

It would not be any louder then Daryl's motorcycle. Like I said, a lot of them are already sitting on the back of a flatbed anyway..

 

One thing I have to agree on is that Daryl's motorcycle is a pretty dumb idea in a ZA.

 

Motorcycles can be quiet. From factory they aren't that load, then motorcycle douches modify them to make them really loud.

But, I agree the loud motorcycle is technically dumb. They're just doing it for fun.

 

OMG, we actually agree on something. I am lost for words.

 

I think we agree on more than you think. You've just brainwashed yourself with your own straw man about half the posters here being 'fan-boys'. The reality is that most of us also do a lot of criticizing, and I criticized most of season 3. Hopefully you'll put away your straw men and actually have some logical discussion. We'll start with the motorcycle.

 

Right, the idea of a backhoe is crazy in a ZA. Its like "lets see...what qualities do I want my ZA vehicle.....slow..AND loud". At least the motorcycle is loud and fast. But even a quiet motorcycle I would decline because the first time you drive into a large herd unexpectedly, you're in a bit more trouble than if you were in a car with the windows rolled up.

 

Logical? I consider myself the Spock of this forum.

 

No doubt you do. And who knows, if you start discussing things rationally instead of using ad hominem 'fan-boy' type remarks for everyone who disagrees with your criticisms, maybe you could even fulfill your dream and become a spock-type here.

 

A backhoe on a flatbed truck is very doable....... and do not even try to say they can't put that one together.

 

I like Daryl a lot. Does that make me a "Fanboy".. I just think he is a cool dude.

 

Its not about whether they can put it together or not. Of course they can. They can also put together a mobile swing-set if they want. It doesn't mean its a viable solution, lol. I know you're married to your backhoe idea, but it just isn't a good one, that I can see. For so many reasons: loud...slow...gas guzzling [would need major gas refills after relatively short distances]. Its just not worth it.

 

Yeah....the last thing i'll be needing in a ZA is getting a flat bed truck to tow a backhoe on. .

well, no, not the last thing. The VERY last thing I would be thinking about would be Canadian hummus.

Actually, that's not even quite true. I might crave that on Sunday afternoons. Ok, the VERY last thing I would be thinking about in a ZA would be Pauly Shore. At least his last 3 movies. And I met Pauly Shore. And still, I'd waste no time on him.
