What would you do? Zombie Apocalypse

A bit of advice for my fellow CF'ers:

You do not have to be the fastest in of the group. Just don't be the slowest.

This is why I only have slow friends. :yes:

I have been practicing walking with a limp and moaning for quite sometime now. When it all goes down I plan on blending in with the horde. Trying to get use to the taste of brains.

:notworthy:

I was talking slow in the physical sense as opposed to the mental aspect.

If you wait until the outbreak has already commenced to mobilize your resources, then your as good as dead. You'll just be another one of the millions of screaming, disoriented people (or zombie food) trying to make a mad scramble to survive. PREPARE PREPARE PREPARE. If you don't already know where your going to go and have that place prepared to accommodate you and your survival group for at least 6 months, you seriously need to re-evaluate your strategy.

I'm still not sure how the military would get overrun by something that has no weapons.

If I were in charge, I'd have multiple military outposts set up. I'd make people stip down to the underwear and inspected before being allowed to enter, and all who enter are quarantined for a week before being allowed to enter the general population.

We would all like to think that the government can protect us in such an event. Alas, they remain, in my opinion, woefully ignorant of the zombie threat.

Zombie-Proof House

Building this first. Though I would have something reinforce that large steel door. Seems like a weak point.

Good: you have a zombie proof house, you are prepared.
BAD: Everyone knows you have a zombie proof house. you now battle living and zombie to protect your fortress.

Also, advice a philosophy on the flame thrower defense; what is worse than a mass of the undead horde zeroing in on your compound? an undead horde thats on fire! flame throwers, while fun and entertaining, present many other risks we tend not to think about in regards to zombie elimination.

Geesh you guys aren't prepared at all. Here's the gameplan:

Run to the basement locker and grab my ALICE ruscksack and tactical backback containing the following:

Army lensatic compass
Army M-3 medical field kits (2)
50' Paracord (3)
15pc. Lock Pick Set (2)
Zippo lighters (4)
25 pack of waterproof matches (4)
Israeli Gas Mask w/ NATO filter (2)
1 case of MREs and 12 bottles of water

Then strap on my Gerber Gator Machete and Cyborg Ninja Combat Katana while the Gerber Bear Grylls Survival Knife goes in the backpack. Give the wife her favorite Cutco large kitchen knife for her purse.

My Smith and Wesson M&P5L (9x19) goes on the right belt holster and the 8 cartridges go in the backpack along with my Colt Python .357 and 4 boxes of 50 loads. Wife gets her Glock 27 and throws the S&W shortnose .38 in her purse.

Remington 12-gauge 870 SHURSHOT with 4 boxes deer slugs goes in the rucksack, along with my Galil MAR (5.56) and 4 30-round mags for it.

Give the wife her Galil AR/M (7.62) and grab mine and throw the 4 50 round mags in the rucksack.

Load up the kiddies in the minivan, and go to WalMart for some "shopping" and head north to my uncle's place outside Schaller.

Cheers

P.S. Forgot to add all the leftover Halloween candy and portable DVD for the kids.

Finally someone who gets it!

Going way old school. Breaking into the museum and picking out some nice samurai swords, medieval broad swords and pikes. Pikes to keep them back while you decapitate them with the swords. And none of that Roman era short sword stuff. You need to decapitate not hack and stab them. I am also calling The Bride. She would be an awesome zombie killer with her Hattori Hanzo. Well, that and I think Uma is crazy hot.

In the "Walking Dead" zombie scenario being lethal with a sword is by far the best thing to be.

They have yet to introduce the biggest bad@$$ character from the comics in the TV series. She'd probably give the Kill Bill chick a great fight.

I'd probably poop a little.

Being in a city I would bar the door and break out the disaster kit. Got enough canned food for about a week and some water in the closet. After that break into the freeze dried stuff and camping gear. Break out the Ruger 10/22, 870 12 gauge, the .45 1911, and the wife's Glock 19. I'm lucky as my apartment is on the 2nd floor with a narrow straight staircase. Two balconies on either side of the building so I have a pretty good lines of sight. I would wait for the worst initial mayhem to pass and then try and sneak out to the countryside with the wife. I would probably try and "acquire" a 4 wheel drive SUV such as a Suburban before I relocated though Gas may be an issue depending on the level of destruction to the local infrastructure.

My family has a lot of land in Wisconsin that is all timber and good hunting and fishing land. My father-in-law used to be a gun dealer, so a quick stop there to grab guns and ammo, then raid a walgreens and take all the meds I could grab and I'd be off. It would be tough to get up there safely, but it's in a low population density area that is surrounded by more timber. I just hope it happens in the summer months so that I would have time to build a good strong shelter.
