How would you survive the Zombie apocalypse?

Oh and please don't go tripping everyone around you so you can get away.

I keep a can of 'hippy-be-gone' handy at all times.

Bear spray.

Amazing, the effect pepper foam has on those "zombies".

Some U.S. university recently studied this and they suggested the American northwest based on sparse population and altitude. The thought was that lower population densities make it tougher for any 'infection' to continue due to fewer available victims. The higher up you are, the less likely zombies are to hike up a hill and engage better defended position.

Personally, I always liked the small desert town option. Hundreds of miles from big cities, and less likely to see zombie populations trek the open desert to get there.

As long as you have gas and a working vehicle, you can go somewhere else to gather canned food,and water and then you can try and use local spaces for indoor agriculture.

Lots of ammo of course, and heavy calibre rifles (.338 and .50) to put some distance between the undead and yourself.

They move slow. A shotgun should suffice.

Ammunition is a finite resource. Effective while you have it; when ya don't your empty weapon is a clunky sort o'club and it ain't too efficient. Plan ahead.

Consider proficiency with edged weapons, a katana, machete or even a kukri or big ol' Bowie knife makes for an effective weapon and a useful tool when you're not busy fending off critters.

Jump in a JCB digger and squash the crazy b*****ds! ha ha, that would be my plan and you could make a game out of it also?

Doo Some Vodoo!

Reminded me of the competition between the Dwarf and that Elf dude in Lord o'the Rings. 'Hah! That's sixteen! What have you got, Pointy-Ears?' Maybe we could find some good way to post scores and get a bunch o'folks involved. Infestation would be squashed in record time.

come on oP set the stage.. are these fast moving zombies..?..
. when you get bit do you become effective immediately?..
can they climb walls for instance?

.. my oldest son and I talk about this..
. usually after the Walking Dead show..

... his idea would be to confiscate a train.. with a lot of box cars.. to carry supplies such food weapons.. vehicles..
. tools lumber so on and so forth...
have sleeping compartment cars. a ... basically hook up a passenger train ,up to box cars.... and just ride the rails..... stoping outside of major cities and towns.. to gather supplies.. have a box car full of vehicles.. to drive to do the scavenging with...

. not a bad idea actually..lol

.

Forget the zombies. It is the Walking Fred that scare me.

Haha best answer But if its the Walking Dead type zombie I'm leaving it to my kids. They say they'll save me due to their superior experience of zombie killing games.

I forgot..

I own farm equipment.

Brush hog... Dirty hippy... Errrr... I mean zombie blender.
Front end loader... Dirty hippy... Errrr... Zombie scoop.

Until you got zombie Sharks that is your plan would work Blondey? Then? You're in trouble? ha ha ha

OP : I'd just live underground like that other movir

I'd get rid of all antidepressants. I'd hide in my house. Though, zombies are slow at walking, so I'd have plenty of time to run from them. I could carry a bow and arrow, in case they try to strike me.

Fortunately, I have no brains, so I have nothing to worry about.

The point about ammunition is a good one, but as far as edged weapons go, I'd prefer to invest in a good axe. It has a longer reach (no zombies grappling you to chew on your brains), you can bring force to bear more effectively (swinging instead of stabbing), and it can be used as a different tool (gathering firewood).

I live in California, so we're all used to having an emergency supply of food, clothing, batteries, etc, in case there's an earthquake. I have four gallons of water, a shelf full of dry goods, and an emergency bag all packed for the zombie apocalypse. I'm hoping, though, that some other generous survivor has some spare weapons. I don't want to end up like Bruce Campbell's character in Evil Dead 2...

For a base, I'd like to set up somewhere high, maybe the second or third story of a warehouse, that's accessible only by ladder. Not only do most zombies not climb ladders, even if they did I'd only be facing them one at a time. Though that would be kind of a problem if I had more than one or two other survivors bunking in the same base.
"CLIMB, BOBBY-JOE, CLIMB!"
"BUT WHAT ABOUT SUSIE-CUE AND STEVENS??"
"THEY'LL COVER YOUR BACK! JUST CLIMB!"
*sounds of screaming, flesh rending, and munching of bones*
"NOOOOOOOOO!"

Sure I'd like to say I have a plan if there ever was indeed a Zombie Apocalypse, but my luck everything we've learned from TV, movies, and books is all out the window, and shooting them in the head doesn't do any good.
Just stay away from the blondes (real or dyed), because if zombies did in fact eat people, I have a feeling they aren't going to be too picky about what parts they eat.
