I only have so many bullets, so the odds are against most ppl to surivive in the long term. Even if you have a machette or sword, you might get overwhelmed. My plan is to lock and load I suppose and get a sword or something which won't need bullets. I'll use alot of hit and run tactics, so I don't get overwhelemed. I'll try to regroup with other survivors and look for ammo or weapons in a surplus store. Then see if the government will help anyone who isn't infected.
It's the cliche solution but I'd get my housemates and have one of them drive us out to somewhere in the country, away from all the towns and cities. Even if we made it that far though I think we'd only survive so long, as Melvargh said nobody is safe.
No, I probably wouldn't. I need to get my firearms licence and acquire some weapons and ammunition. I wouldn't be able to outrun a zambie in my current state. If I were in a better financial position I would prepare for such an event.
Seeing that the only firearm I know of in my area is my neighbor's shotgun, I'm sort of fucked I'd be able to outrun a zombie if they're normal speed, however eventually I'll get tired and they won't, maybe I'll run them over with my car
Well, if they's slow Zombies, I should be more then fine, I jog everyday so I'll make it a good bit with them snailing behind me. Now if they're the fast kind, I'd haul ass to the army dump store and try me out some knives and guns. Go out in a blaze of glory and all that.
Being the last female on earth and having to repopulate that dirtball ain't all that either.
I don't know, if everyone in my apartment building collectively made good decisions and banded together, we might make it. As it stands, I live on the top floor of a pretty sturdy building so if I had enough food I could hang out for a pretty long time. I figure the zombies won't really figure out stairs or heavy doors. I also live in the middle of Seattle so I don't think getting out of town would be possible since I do not have a boat :(
If I was at work (in a nearby city) I don't think I'd make it. Everything is ground level and my coworkers are already pretty convinced that they'll die if there's a zombie apocalypse.
@JoeRiccadonna: They got perfect protection due to all the coast and whatnot. Plus they're armed and whatnot. I forgot the details but Hawaii, Cuba, Latin Islands, and West of the Rockies were the best protected.
I don't have handguns or rifles, so I would have to get by with the many sharp or blunt objects I do have, constantly staying on the move till I could find anything that could further help my survival. I do have a decent supply of non-perishable foods and with deer season coming up, that should provide something. Don't think I would ever settle unless I found some sort of decent location to create a bunker of sorts outside of the cities. Way out into the countryside. And I'm sorry, won't take anybody in.
I would find a sailboat, grab supplies and go to sea; maybe wander around desert islands to pick up wood, supplies, fresh water. Make rods. Catch fish. Fall in love. Construct SICK GUNS out of WOOD.
Fuck no, I'm Canadian and while I'm not fat, I'm mad out of shape, so it would only be a matter of time before I got tired of beating on zombies with a blunt object and one of them got me.
EDIT: Wait, fast zombies or slow zombies? Because if it's fast zombies, I'll just go drown myself in the bathtub and save them the trouble. /optimism
Plan of Action: -Gather companions -Work out if their characteristics (Deaf, blind, weakness to fire, resistant to acid etc) -Find Weapons (Melee preferable) -Use guns as melee, since firing one is generally very loud and attracts attention -Keep on the move -Show no mercy against zombies (People would rather die human, than become a monster- train of though)
I live in the country near the mountains. I already have at least half a year's worth of food stocked in my house. I own a few guns, including a SKS assault rifle and a break action 12 gauge. I have a machete and a katana. I also know of really secluded places in the mountains that I could retreat to if it became necessary. Finally, I watch a lot of zombie movies and am as psychologically prepared as I could be. Bring on the hordes!
Movies don't quite cover the real logistics of it. You need a lot of clean water, which very few have, particularly in a big city. An entire cellar devoted towards food with some way to dispose of waste. Weaponry, many years worth of it. I read the walking dead comics, guns attract more zombies in them-damned if you do, damned if you don't. Not that it matters since a zombie apocalypse could never happen, but I'm not particularly prepared for some huge natural disaster either. You'd think I would have learned my lesson after the 94 quake here in Northridge.
Find some shelter that is somewhat north so that the zombies freeze in the winter dig a hole around a building so that zombies fall in there constantly set them on fire so that they don't pile up use melee weapons so not to make too much noise and alert a bunch of them break the stairs to the second floor and make my base up there, use a fold-up ladder to get up
Well, living in the world's most diverse and multicultural city, I'd be fucked solely on the grounds that I'd attempt some kind of zombie anthropology. The post-apocalypse is gonna need all the research points it can get.
Man, Jesse Ventura/Captain Freedom is really giving off a Metro City Mayor Mike Haggar (Yes, you write the entire damn thing) vibe on his look there. Unlike his flamboyant wrestler look, bald governor look or current bearded hobo conspiracy theorist look.
