Dealing with bodies post collapse

[bigpaul]

if it gets to that stage, a massive rotting pile of corpses, the only thing you can do is BUG OUT and FAST! the diseases that will be rampant around any kind of mass "die-off" don't bear thinking about!

only way to deal with masses of corpses are funeral pyres
it was how foot and mouth cattle were disposed of during last outbreak

you don't have to tell me, this area was right in the middle of the outbreak, you could smell the burning carcasses for miles!!

Does the term "Bring out your dead!" mean anything to anyone?

This would not be the first die off in the history of GB. Consult your history books.

Common practice was burning with the charred remains buried in mass graves. You people are still uncovering "plague pits" on a regular basis. There is no mystery here.

There are several cases recorded where whole families were boarded up in their homes and the house set afire after the last person died.

whole villages were left abandoned after the Black Death.

I've been out to a couple bodies that have been lying around for weeks. They truly start to break up, so ur moving them in pieces. Hopefully if u need to move them its in the first 24 hours when rigor sets in and they are stiff as a board. Easier to stack.

post rigor mortis forget it, you'll be dealing with a skin bag full of water.
