What's your zombie survival guide?

[Ravea]

I would rape and pillage.

What the hell would you rape? Zombie women?

[Cloddhopper-Love]

Retreat to an underground stocked with canned foods and bottled water C: Own a gun or three, if any try to come near me, I'll put a bullet through their skull. Mmmm meat

[Manango]

I would gather close friends and family, who I am certain will listen to my commands. If they refuse to listen, I will send them packing. Then I will locate an easy to defend prison, mental institute or a remote boarding school, preferably out in the country. Make sure that it is empty, then initially use it as a base to raid the neighbouring towns for supplies. I would then use the little time I had due to being outside of major cities to beef up the walls, create a secondary perimeter 10 meters from the main outside wall with chain link fencing, secure multiple exists and then prepare the land for agriculture (corn, tomatoes, potatoes and other things that grow fast). The walls would be guarded 24/7 but everyone must remain out of sight. From the outside, the building must look deserted and it should be impossible to peer inside.

Once a well has been dug and supplies gathered, I will instigate a plan of action to secure a secondary facility, should the first be overrun. Every day, someone would rekkie the surrounding towns and prepair civilian houses, churches or other defensible structures, with emergency supplies (there will be 1 safe house per 1 of my group). In my main stronghold, everyone will have a bag packed and ready to leave at a moments notice. Should it come to that, we could split up, go to the emergency houses to restock and then meet at a designated safe house. Because we will only travel in groups of 4, there will be 4 safe house options per group, should one be zombie infested.

My main strong hold should last for months, with enough food for years (3 cans of food per person per day) and only water and sanitation should be an issue. But being England, I am sure it would rain often. Due to hygiene concerns and the fact that eventually our hold will be surrounded by zombies (when waves of them pour out of the cities) we will have to leave for Wales after a year or two and then to Ireland. My logic being that most people would either go North to Scotland, or south to France, so the zombies will follow those general directions. Not many people would hopefully go west, preferring the wilderness of Scotland or the safety of the channel. These people will attract most of the zombies.

ps. I wouldn't use guns because they are hard to find in England and they make too much noise... on which note, bicycle travel will always be preferred to cars.

[Tunizcha]

I would rape and pillage.

What the hell would you rape? Zombie women?

Burn their women and rape their churches?

[Wilgrove]

I would rape and pillage.

What the hell would you rape? Zombie women?

Well technically, it wouldn't be rape, it'd be necrophilia. *nods*

[Tunizcha]

And you can't rape a corpse.

yeah you scare the shit out of me

it actually sounds like a good psychological horror to be locked in a mental institution tortured by a control freak but Pandorum has already been made

[Big Jim P]

Mine: Fuck them.

Seriously, I don't know what the hype is with zombies, popular mainstream culture shares all the symptoms and is ten times as inane. /political rant.

Sigged for truth.

[Ifreann]

I would rape and pillage.

Pillage the women and rape the houses!

[Big Jim P]

I would rape and pillage.

What the hell would you rape? Zombie women?

No, he'd rape the fields and pillage the women.

[Grainne Ni Malley]

Lock myself in my basement with food and water and spend the rest of my life playing Left 4 Dead and Resident Evil.

This. Except it would be my attic and I would be watching my son play Left 4 Dead and Resident Evil. Don't forget Dead Rising.

[Duhsadsa]

1. Locate Monroeville Mall.
2. Land on top of mall with helicopter.
3. Block doors with delivery trucks.
4. Clean house.
5. Prance about in Mall to Muzak.
6. Kill Bikers.

[Druidville]

Take my boat, with whomever wishes to come with me, whatever supplies I've got, my guns, and drive it out to Fort Massachusetts on Ship Island in the Sound...

I'm not that far north of you, amazingly. Ship island is nice.

[Hurtful Thoughts]

1. Locate Monroeville Mall.
2. Land on top of mall with helicopter.

4. Clean house.
5. Prance about in Mall to Muzak.
6. Kill Bikers.

1. It's in Monroeville, dur.
2. Monroeville is in Pennsylvania
3. The mall is a death-trap w/o those trucks
4. Usually you won't find trucks in the parking-lot
5. Who's gonna run the gauntlet of insta-gibbing hordes to hot-wire those trucks?
6. If the bikers come, it'll be in helicopter gunships or with nukes, so you're pretty much FUBAR.

[The Imperial Navy]

I would sit back, relax and smile at the fact the laws of the universe do not scientificly allow Zombies to exist.

[Krynnos]

I would sit back, relax and smile at the fact the laws of the universe do not scientificly allow Zombies to exist.

I would sit back, relax, and smile that you died screaming at the zombies that they're not allowed to exist. Magical zombies cant exist true, but with exciting innovations in nanites, and mind affecting viruses it's perfectly plausible for scientific zombies to become a reality. (Just somewhat unlikely)

For zombie survival, firstly you need an above ground stronghold, something with multiple exits, all entrances must be removable (like rope ladders/fire escapes). You want some place with open land to grow what food you can in the area, and preferably atleast a fence surrounding your space. (amazingly enough a prison works perfectly for this, if not for the fact that you're either facing thousands of zombies to clear out, or thousands of violent criminals.) You need enough people that you can do routine stuff like tend to your crops, or sleep, while still having 2-4 people with rifles on the lookout.
And finally, you need guns. a shotgun filled with birdshot can cut down a 1ft diameter tree in under 10 shots, a shotgun is perfect for close in zombie protection. Pistols are generally useless unless you need a free hand or are somehow in a spot you cant aim a shotgun. Most importantly, you need a rifle, nothing too powerful, just a typical hunting rifle, a scope, and some practice are all it takes to keep the occasional lumbering zombie from climbing over your fence. Alot of people will contest this with 'when you run out of ammo...' to which I say, who runs out of ammo? As most gun enthusiasts already know, led is rather easy to melt down and cast into bullets, infact with the right tools and additives you can do it with a campfire. And mixing and packing your own powder is not all that difficult with tools we have today (even if you assume that you have no electricity).

[The Imperial Navy]

It's scientificly unfeasable. Re-animating a dead corpse could bring about many variables. Very few of them would leave the corpse with a hunger for human flesh. If they had a desire to eat, chances are they would attack each other first.

Once your friends fall to the hordes of the majestic undead, you will clamber to the arms of the great loving leader. Through my benevolence, will you be secure!

[Conserative Morality]

Get lots of food/canned goods and water, take out all the stairs, get crossbow, wait.

I see the reference is completely lost on you...or is it?

Either way, when those Bay doors open, there's gonna be a thousand zombies in here. Now come on Flyboy, meet me by the information booth.
