plans for the inevitable undead uprising

Blue Kitty:
So as not to get the Irrational Fears thread de-railed any further, I suggest we move zombie survival discussions to this thread.  What sort of wepaons would you make, what would be your plan, where would you go?  THink about it, it could mean the difference between walking normal and walking dead


yes, I know we have done this before, but that was a long time ago

Ozymandias:
I've actually discussed this with my roommates. We have a flat-roof house, so we're planning on keeping a tent and various supplies on the roof. We have a machete, a couple of baseball bats, and an axe inside the house for a quick getaway.

I want to get an old VW bus and outfit it with weapons and security measures, though. I know, big cars go against the zombie survival guide, but I don't want a motorcycle.

Runs_With_Scissors:
My dad pilots large container ships for a living, so I would most likely gather my neighbors (as long as they weren't zombies yet) and whoever else I could find and get the hell on the boat. There's enough food on there too to feed a community of people fleeing a zombie uprising. And if we ran out, we could just start opening the containers to see what was there. And if somehow the zombies got aboard, there are enough weapons to fend them off.

Ozymandias:
Getting "whoever else you can find" is such a bad idea. In the event of zombie emergency, there are two types of people: the ready and the dangerous. Anyone who is not ready is liable to kill you and everyone you're with. A zombie is predictable. "Run/Shamble. Bite. Moan." A panicky human is death.

Slick:
Short term:

* Weapons! Clubs and sticks are good, but you really need something you can drive into a skull or with enough accuracy to get through an eye socket
* Fortifications! Malls maybe, or some of the cool university buildings
* Supplies! Military surplus, sporting goods stores are good, police station is probably compromised and too hot until after the initial outbreak
Long term:

* Food sources:
* Abandoned farms are good, but probably vulnerable. The further north the better, I would think, just for the low population.
* Hunting could keep useful shooting skills up, but wastes valuable ammunition. Trapping would be better.
* Fishing is good, and fish can be sun-dried to keep, but man, that's a lot of fish to eat.
* Scavenging only works for so long, but hitting dried foods can give you a decent supply to fall back on
* Housing:
* Abandoned farms/lands are nice, but only if secure. An island with farming land would be ideal, but mass-walls can work.
* Line of sight around a home is probably essential, to know what you're up against regularly.
* I'm just kind of in love with the idea of living up north, farming in the summer, and maintaining a warm home in the winter
I'm still thinking my best bet is to get my sailing friend and booking it out to the sea. Anyone on the Great Lakes/east coast, we should co-ordinate so we can pick you up or you can add to a flotilla.
