The Blimp

I saw a post on Facebook recently where someone proposed an interesting idea for a strategy to survive a hypothetical zombie apocalypse.

The main strategy centered on building a solar-powered blimp, using that for shelter as well as transportation instead of a brick and mortar stronghold. The post proposed that one could get water by lowering a bucket on a rope into fresh water stores. Food and other supplies could be gathered by dropping off scavenging teams while the main group stays aloft and out of danger, while acting as a lookout for the team on the ground. The post also identified a potential hazard, which would be a helium leak, which obviously would make things difficult.

I haven’t yet decided if I am for or against this idea, but I thought it would be a great subject for discussion.

Thoughts?
