The first book of SM Stirling's 'Change' series titled 'Dies the Fire' is an excellent exploration of surviving a complete collapse of technology. He even mentions non-fiction books worth hunting down as source material.

'Zombies' are a convenient way of short circuiting the basic psychological response to 'hey, that's a fellow human being I am about to kill'. If 'they' are already 'dead' it gives you license to engage in *ANY* behavior necessary to make the 'problem' go away.

In other words, it is an escape mechanism.

The only downsides I see are you need a steady power supply for the inflation blower, and a large pumpable water supply. Both of which may not be available in the location you eventually decide to erect it in.

Otherwise, yes, very neat bit of tech.
