Whether the zombie apocalypse is caused buy man or another way(most likely by our own means) how will you prepare for it? What will you do and what are your plans? What will be your weapon of choice? Give stories and tips that you think will help, post new links if you find good ones. Just any thoughts on the world coming to an end and how you will live in a post apocalyptic world.

Also if you know any good zombie flicks post them.

id prepare for a zombie apocalypse by stocking up on plenty of ammo and being with a few trusted friends that i know could survive. my weapon of choice would be a sawed off shotgun if i was on the road and needed something light to carry. Otherwise id hold off my days in a hardware store or possibly a walmart and carry a MG42 because its heavy and i know i wouldnt be going anywhere with it so it wouldnt be a stuggle. thats just what i will do when zombies take over lol

Walmart is already full of the braindead, I wouldnt doubt if it would be easily filled by the undead.

You should combine this with one of the hundred other zombie threads, or have an admin do it.

These are the only 2 threads i could find relating to the topic of conversation. All the others were videos, stories, or news related. After the last Zombie thread that was made and put in the wastebin i made this one with a more outlined topic of conversation. And its more along the lines of 6 threads not 100.

I would take my ak,ammo,my dog Snoopy,all the booze and drugs i could find,and if available my bosses wife(who has the legs of a goddess). and my computer so i can see whats happening on STP.

I think my plan for survival would just be to grab a couple of friends with wilderness survival know-how and head to one of those uninhabited islands of Alaska. There's plenty of edible plants to be foraged and critters to hunt. Also, zombies can't swim and if we stockpile some guns and ammo, we can shoot any non-zombified folks that happen upon us.

So, I guess, abandonment of civilization would be my ideal plan in this sort of circumstance.

Dead Next Door is a good zombie movie....I think Fido is my favorite.

why is it only possible to kill a zombie with a bullet or blow to the head?would'nt severing the spinal cord acheive the same result?

as long as you fuck up the brain somehow, they will die...i dont think it matters how you go about it

Why even bother killing it, when it's easier to take out it's knee cap with a crowbar and run away. It can't really just get back up and chase you if you shatter the knee. It'll be doomed to a 'life' of crawling about on its belly.

 

[DaisyDoom]

You've obviously never seen Evil Dead lol. How would that be easier anyway? I think that would depend on the exact situation you are in. If you're within arms length...maybe... but if you have some distance and a shotgun...not at all.

Strangely enough, the fear of zombies has been around a long time. I remember reading somewhere that there have been neolithic burial sites found where the bodies were bound hand and foot.Possibly because of a fear of reanimation.

some sort of bladed polearm for me personally. id say take a 5 ft. weld a bow saw to one end and im pretty sure i'll be good to go. of course i'll keep a small firearm on me for just in case situations.

sometimes one shot to the head wont kill a zombie, you have to get its head super fucked up or detach the brain stem.

I think survival method depends on way too much. That's why I have a very general survival plan that has been made up based on whatever could possibly happen (zombies, natural disaster, other attack), where I might be at a time where something might happen and the best places to get to depending on what happens. I think the best solution for most disaster is to find a sail boat.

Even though you didn't ask this I'm gonna talk about it anyway....I don't think the movie type of zombie apocalypse will happen but I do think the chances of some freak disease outbreak...like an extreme form of rabies...which would cause zombie-like symptoms (extreme violence and psychosis) is very possible.

Lady Puckett,you are truly wise.

I'm not sure that the Deadites count as zombies, really. That's more of a possession by a malicious spirit.

But, I suppose if they were the running type of zombies, like in 28 Days Later, I'd prefer a gun. But if they're the shambling sort, like in most movies, I'd rather use my ammo on the living, who can be much scarier.

Shambling zombies are only a threat in large packs, though. As long as you avoid getting surrounded, you'd be sound as a bell, armed with only a crowbar. Besides, crowbars never run out of ammo and they won't give away your position with a bang, like a gun would. Really, though, If you find yourself swarmed by a large pack of zombies, there wouldn't be much you could do to survive regardless of what weapon you've got.

Sailboats aren't a bad place to start. But you'd still need to find a source of fresh water, quickly. The ocean will keep you safe from most disasters, except malnutrition, dehydration and tsunamis.

I don't think the movie type of zombie apocalypse could happen, either. But, it is a fun critical thinking exercise, yeah?
