Well when the zombies come good luck we will just close our borders and wait it out.

Australia's a bit far to go for most people.

Nah. Better New Zealand. Lord of the Rings style.

Maybe a zombie apocalypse: apart from the fact it is unrealistic, it would be fun to watch.

Either way Australia and New Zeland will live out the end as the world burns. They will play rugby to wait the time out.

New Zealand is the opposite side of the world. I think I'll just go down the offy and close the shutters.

Those land walls.

West Roman Empire is best Roman Empire. Stay rekt heretical pleb.

Either way in any of these scenarios, there is a high probability that I die. While I am friends with farmers, have a good backup plan and am prepared; the probabilities say that I die. Whether its by a lucky shot from a marauder or some disease. The problem with bullets and guns is that no matter how well trained you are, bullets don't care. They kill all the same. However, while I may die to the hordes of people leaving Chiraq, I have confidence that the area I'll be defending will survive. Thank god for ex-military types love of congregating in one area. Also NG armory nearby as well. We may very sit this one out with 105 mm howitzer and 120 mm mortar support. Lets see them human wave that (until we run out of ammunition for the big guns).

If anyone is a fan of the Total War games, a team of people are at the beta stage of a Rome Total War mod centered around a zombie outbreak in Rome. I think it would be awesome when it's released.

I'd prefer trying to survive after a super volcano eruption. For one thing (if it's Yellowstone that goes off), I live far enough away to where the ash isn't as significant of a problem as close by the volcano. Second, the community I live in generally prefers to stick together when things get rough, typically financially (though there are a few nuts out here) .

As for surviving it, I'd stock up on emergency supplies (emergency food storage, a firearm or two for self defense against said nuts inb4 Good Guy with Gun argument arises, and heating units if/when the power goes out) and generally sit tight unless the situation warrants moving from my area.

Eh, I might root for the robots.

Where abouts do you live? From some estimations most of the US would be under feet of ash.

Think about. We are not talking about a 'FEW' farmers. Those people are being killed off by the native populations in droves the entire journey. What if ,say, they come upon a united county of 30,000 armed people. Most of them would die at that point.

30,000 people aren't going to beat 200,000. And they aren't going to be killed in droves by anybody because nobody is stupid enough to attack 200,000 people.

Seems you need to read about ancient Korea.

Indiana.

....actually, come to think of it, sitting it out may not be the best idea since my family lives in a valley. Great for disrupting severe weather systems, but volcanic ash....

Nuclear Holocaust without a doubt.

1- Go to a rural area (the desert of Central Australia would be an ideal location) and ride out the storm.

2- travel on a spaceship to start a human colony on mars. If you can fix the air pressure there and then plant trees, these trees will release Oxygen and make Mars a suitable habitat.

Y'know. Every time I hear someone suggesting spreading this damnable biosphere beyond the earth, it makes me want to burn down a forest out of pure spite. We need to get AWAY from dependency on a black-box technology. Not try to spread it to every corner of the universe.

You need the proper bayonets these days. Not the puny M9 standard-issue knifes they call bayonets but the real bayonets that make men shiver in fear as the enemy enters your trench. Of course you wouldn't use the real bayonets like slashing implements but for stabbing the eyes or skulls of zombies.

Little late for this, but I like the way this guy thinks

With robots I'd switch teams and screw you all over so fast. Same with aliens, depending on what they are like.

Why would you choose to be the flesh sleeve to some alien's anal probe?

I'm calling the kink police.

The operative word here is "depending." If the aliens are a species of merciless domination, you're dead. If they're malevolent conquerors, good chance that you're dead, unless you are offering something. A species that's more focused on resource gathering and just happen to think Earth is a great place to stop by, eh, it can go either way if you stand in their path. A species who promotes galactic peace, world by world, I think we'll all get along just fine.

.... I wish that the latter aliens would come here.

Finally, we may have the opportunity to beat the all blacks.

Go to Australia of course in any apocalypse Australia always fares best just look at mad max.

If they're good it wouldn't be the end of the world. For bad aliens I think they'd jump on the chance on having a humans spy or even just a human to act as a friendly face of their occupation. Collaborators are always valuable assets. I'd take the deal even if it's a "We'll kill you last" sort of deal. Better than dying first and I might get some sexy cars out of it.

go innawoods with my sks

For me, I reckon the end of the world will just be ridiculous over the top flooding, because of melting ice caps. I mean looking at some predictions for the future world map, Australia is practically non existent.
