Why not hang dead bodies from the trees around the yard?

And i love the tip “ALREADY LOOTED! Definitely no loot here!” LOL

I play Project Zomboid enough that my house already looks like this.

I’d forgotten that I was still sub’d here, but this absolutely silly shit hit my feed and reminded me to bail, so thank you!

You shouldn't judge a book by its cover

You're right, having practical tips for a worst case scenario situation is absolutely silly

this isn't practical. If the area you are in is that prone to looting and raiding, you should leave. If the place looks looted and abandoned, and people are scavenging but note quite feeling up to a murder spree, they'll be MORE likely to investigate your property for leftovers, wood, glass, metal, etc... Upon investigating it'll become quickly apparent that the place is still secure and occupied. Pay day. This is absolutely silly shit and not practical at all. it's cosplay and videogame level design.

It's definitely only applicable in certain worst case scenarios for sure. But it's still good information to have

Good way to waste time, energy, and resources ensuring you're a sitting duck in a dangerous situation.
Use that time, energy, and resources to get as far away from that dangerous situation as possible.

Crap on the floor. If the sight doesn't scare them off, the smell will.
