Zombie survival thread: What would you do ? (think longterm)

[frissy]

But they don't bleed...the blood is clogged...how about the eyes just popping out like cooked eggs?

[DaC-Sniper]

i like cooked eggs. gives you +25 hp.

[frissy]

So let's a have a zombie-eyeball-barbeque! We'll be beefcaked in no time!

Concorde has a policy against wool. Especially that which is audible during growth. NEVER to be confused with Woo.

Understand ?

To which you have answered satisfactorily.

tl;dr

If there was a zombie attack, I'd start eating brains like a madman. That way I'd look like a regular old zombie, and no zombie would attack me.

Speaking of which, in zombie movies, how do zombies tell if yer not a zombie? Skin tone, mayhaps?

[Koki]

Considering half of the fucking zombies have eye damage, and sight is pretty fucking complicated thing, I'd say zombies operate on smell.

[Wolfman Walt]

Haven't you jerks ever read the zombie survival guide? I know it's been recommended before in this thread, but seriousily, best read book I've bought in awhile.

[First Force]

loved that book havent seen the sequel though, im interested

I really like duck and cover, I read a lot of stuff on this site, but I've never registered. I registered though just so I could write this: What the hell is wrong with somebody that they would write that long ass post!?!?!? Dude, simplify. You've thought WAY too much about this...

I live in a small town in AZ w/ less than 50,000 people, kind of like that game for 360 - Dead Rising.

I already own a .22 pistol and a 9mm carbine, so I would use those to get to these 2 gun shops about 5-10 minutes away (10-45 minutes on foot) In addition to that, there's a knife/sword/axe (believe it or not) shop about the same time distance away (10-45 minutes depending on trans.)

I would take the extended cab truck and the small camper for storage. My cat would definitely be with me. She's scared of everything anyway, so I'm not worried about her being eaten by a zombie. First things first, grocery store and empty the account on canned food and water, maybe some jerky but it's really expensive to buy, not so much if you can make it yourself, which I don't know how.

Grab warm clothes (heavy jackets, boots, etc, most of which I already own) and go even further north than I am. I'm figuring w/ no circulation in zombies, since they are dead, if they go to a cold enough climate, they won't be able to move and would just freeze. It's the summertime I'd be worried about. (Like now in the USA)

If I had someone w/ me, I would steal another truck and use my trailer and quad for short recon/hunting, or grab this huge forklift from my work and a conveyor to put up in the air for safe sleep.

Then just head north w/ whoever I could find. That's about it. Now I'm weird too, thanks.

You're not exactly the soul of brevity either.

High demand from all the axe-murderers?

Now I'm weird too, thanks.

You're most welcome. Come back for more.

[cazsim83]

what's the old saying? Perfect planning prevents piss poor zombie repellent ability? Something like that.
Actually the sex offender website for this zip code seems abnormally high, as does the "recovery" houses...maybe we should get rid of the axes altogether......

[Dreadnought]

I'd grab a boat and go over to Stradbroke Island. Guaranteed zombie free. Just wait till they starve/decay beyond the point where the are a threat.

[frissy]

Actually they walk underwater. Space shuttle, none of those suckers can fly or what?

They'd probably stow away in the hold or something and jump you just when you thought it was safe (around the 1:10 mark in most movies).

Islands are a nice idea but everyone and their dog has that idea, which means that planes/choppers/boats full of partially-zombified people will be arriving at your little paradise every day. Lose.

I'd go for an old water tower, stuff it with stuff and break off the ladder after me. Stay inside and snipe anything that gets close, alive or zombie.

[cazsim83]

I still think freezing temperatures would work, or at least very cold. slow them up at least. Or move intoa prison. You got a cafeteria, huge walls, and a prison is just as good at keeping people out as they are keeping people in.

Let us not forget the infamous ZOMBIE shark/zombie fight.

[Mechanurgist]

Brainz!



I still don't get why animals wouldn't get zombified as well. Think zombie chipmunks feasting on your toes, and zombie cats on your head.

I'd put together a posse of my Military buddies and we'd survive in our fort filled with MREs, a generator and lots of ammo.

That was the plan in Day of the Dead. Didn't work so well. Somebody always goes ape-shit and lets the zombies in the back door; probably you.
