The Zombie Apocalypse

[daestwen]

So... I've heard a lot of people in my life say that they have plans for the Zombie apocalypse. You know, that hypothetical situation that we all kind of almost hope for because we'd be allowed to carry swords and kill things and none of us think we'd be the ones to die because we'd be so badass.

So. Just curious, but...

What will YOU do when the Zombie Apocalypse is upon us?

DUN DUN DUH DUUUUNNN!

[Elwell]

So... I've heard a lot of people in my life say that they have plans for the Zombie apocalypse.

[S.C. Watson]

Hrm.

Well I live on an island, literally, so I guess the first thing I'd do is organize a defense force, because of course I'm the *only* one that knows what to do (never mind I've never been in the military or ever had to fight large masses to save my worthless skin).

so, um, yeah. set up island defenses. We've enough wilderness and farmland to support about half the population, so we'd sacrifice the rich to appease the zombies for a little while. and then... um. just sort of hunker down and kill anything that looked even remotely like a zombie :dead: :tihi:

Meanwhile, I'd set about setting up my island kingdom...

Um, anyway... :geekg:

WHEN it's upon us? I'm from Pittsburgh and it already happened here over 30 years ago. Gained 53 pounds...:oneye:

[central]

I have to deal with zombies right now on a day to day basis, only I don't get to use swords on them. So ya, I can't wait for the day when weapons are finally legalised in the struggle. Sure it would be a blast.

You may want to reassess your social circle.

LMAO

It's hard to reassess my sisters, but you might be right about the rest... Too bad I belong right in there with them. :D

There's an industrial estate about a mile from my house.

I'm going to go there with my kit bag, which is already ready by the door at all times. It contains basic survival gear, includes water, army ration packs, a foldable shovel, small hammer, nails, a gas mask, matches, 2 lighters, a small can of fuel, 2 pairs of black socks, a first aid kit containing (as well as other things) a sewing kit, a small bottle of whiskey, surgical spirit...I also have a flashlight, and a glock.

The glock is not real, but airsoft. Trust me though, you point it at somebodies face and cock it, and it's as good as real.

[Mrianna]

Oddly enough I had this talk with my mom a little while ago. You NEED to have a zombie plan. It's just that simple.

Right now it'd be steal a car and drive (badly) to the cabin. Or maybe go to Newfoundland. I can imagine Newfoundland being safe for some reason. lol.

Anyone seen that Red vs. Blue episode?

[walnut]

Set myself on fire. I mean, coffee breath is bad enough, but having a bunch of rotting corpses screaming they want my brains in my face? Just too much too deal with man.

[REGNIRUTH]

let the second amendment be put to good use, LOL

[JL.Alfaro]

I will be the guy who, after giving an uplifting and unifying speech, gets pulled out of the barred up window and torn apart/eaten alive by the aforementioned zombies.

my wife will be the one lady, that comes out to get the paper in the morning, holding a cup of coffee (she doesnt really drink coffee, but on this particular morning she is holding and sipping on a cup of coffee) and gets tackled by two or three fast moving zombies.

Doesnt look good for me guys....doesnt look good.

[Jabo]

At least you are, or at least your wife is in the intro. So with a little bit of luck, you two could be the first billed in the cast :)

[Serpian]

[Peter Coene]

Well, I'll be combining boy scout skills with what I've read in the Zombie Survival Guide. If its just a few zombies it will be easy, if its a full on apacolypse with crowds of them arround the world then we're screwed.

If its 1 city (Like LA) I hope the govt evacuates the non-zombies before nuking the place. If that is the plan then the main course of action would be to take out your stairs (zombies can't climb) and replace them with a rope ladder, stock up on supplies and put in a generator, and bring in others. Fighting off the zombies is a last resort in this situation. Find a way onto the roof and paint a message there that is large enough to be seen by helicopters.

Top 10 Lessons for Surviving a Zombie Attack

1. Organize before they rise!
2. They feel no fear, why should you?
3. Use your head: cut off theirs.
4. Blades don’t need reloading.
5. Ideal protection = tight clothes, short hair.
6. Get up the staircase, then destroy it.
7. Get out of the car, get onto the bike.
8. Keep moving, keep low, keep quiet, keep alert!
9. No place is safe, only safer.
10. The zombie may be gone, but the threat lives on.

I think before we start jumping to conclusions we should make sure we're talking about the same thing. Now do you guys mean it's a zombie outbreak (meaning voodoo, undead, and all that) or do you mean an outbreak caused by some virus which causes "zombie-like" behavior? Our survival could possibly hinge on this fact alone due to the different ways in which one has to deal with these two very different situations.

[S.C. Watson]

I say if it lurches, and has a less than rosy pallor, kill it.

Why take a chance?

I live in the New Jersey metro corridor, which equals more zombies per square foot than just about anywhere else. Way I see it, the only ones more porked than me are the poor schmoes trying to get out of Manhattan.

[Serpian]

If you compare zombies from such zombie documentary films like 28 days later to the zombies in the documentaries of the 70s', you see a huge differnce in behavior. If, nay; WHEN the zombie outbreak comes, I really hope we get the slow ones.

[SalOnimaruRem]

if there wuuuz a zombie apocalypse...

well i will become murderous, yes that's right murderous

MURDER MURDER MURDER ME a Fuckin ZombiE! lol no seriously, my human extinct and behavior become a savage beast!!

no seriously, i am asain and asain people can fight XP XP XP :tihi: sooo, equip my ninja suit(just plain black clothe) :P, ma sword and go chop me some zombie's heads :yum:

my weapons of choice for killing zombie:
~long double bladed Katana (For long range and be on the safe side) *droooool*
~short double bladed katana (For close range and killing speed) *droool*
~Guns + lots of ammunition (powerful ones, purfurabely turret, shotgun or chain guns, if aquirable), of course, can't go out without letting out some trigger happy insanity
~grenades or bombs (if aquirable)

weapons i say unfitted for time like this:
~baseball bat *no time to play games here*
~Sticks *i say adios to your sorry ass*
~flame thrower *fire will be all over the place, leaving u little chance to escape alive*
~rocket launcher *bad for close combat when your surround by tons of it* (if your gonna use this i prefer u go to high grounds for better survivle fromt he blast)
~pocket knife, butter knife, kitchen knife..etc *good gaaawd wat are u chef zombie*
~brass knuckes or like wolverine claws *tooo, waaaay too close up combat* (wat are u suicidal)
~wips *how naughty* (seriously it better have razor blade on it and very long too, but the range of it would require u to be far from the pact leaving u little chance to recieve help)
~bow and arrows (it is good but i hope u have 100% head shot accuracy or you'll be just wasting arrows or otherwise have flaming or explosive errors)
~shotgun (powerful close range but long reload)
~ there sould be more but i can't think of anymore right now....


well if i can't aquire most of the weapon i will stick to my katanas :)

place to hide out, i say cubfood or small stores (need the food to survive)

[Kek]

Oni, i must disagree.....

shotguns would definitely be effective in a zombie invasion. reload time isn't that bad when you consider how much damage each shot can deal to a zombie.

[SalOnimaruRem]

Oni, i must disagree.....

shotguns would definitely be effective in a zombie invasion. reload time isn't that bad when you consider how much damage each shot can deal to a zombie.


I know it can do lots of damage, but look at these two scenerio

~your outside running with a shotgun out number and in fronr of you ther are tons more coming at you and your surrounded trying to look for a way out to escape, and your shooting shots after shots as you go along while looking for a place that is safe, soon your will run out of it and maybe panic but try to reload as fast as you can, while reloading zombies are gettin closer and closer or be right next to you so how will you react quickly and effectively.

YOu may manage to dish out a few more round but it is not enough to take out a massive qauntity of them at once and still keep going

~you barracaded yourself, you have shotgun and limited ammo, u can't sit day looking out the window, shoot shoot shoot as much as it hold and then reload again and do it all over again. You would run out of ammo and when u have a plan to escape you have no other effective defenses and offenses to get u to where u need to go

Wasting ammo would be wrong to do cause conservating ammo is a need to do cause once u have a plan u will need all the weapon and ammo u can get so i sugest using other alternative for effective killing instead of wasting ammo, unless u have so much ammo u could waste all the zombie while drinking a glass of martini

if i'm missing more tell me, i am too light headed to keep think, i had a 20 minute nose bleed and lost i say a cup of blood, luckily i had help to stop the bleeding and u know what sucked after that, i have an exam to do O.O

[0kelvin]

Stairs and doors are your friend. Zombies don't deal well with either, so something like an apartment building is a good temporary shelter. They should also be well-stocked with plenty of food and supplies. If you're expecting full blown zombogeddon rather than a small temporary outbreak, you're going to want to get out of the city, somewhere cold and remote.

Just like business, the most important part of zombie apocalypse is location, location, location. The best way to survive isn't to go around busting heads with the perfect weapon, it's to avoid the zombies altogether.

I live on the prairies. I can see a mile in any direction. I'll be on the roof with a high powered rifle, picking them off as they cross the neighbour's cow pasture. Head shots only.

I don't plan on letting any of them get close enough for a sword to make any difference. >:D :uzi2: :uzi: :dead:

[Wooly ESS]

Good point. Better stock up.

[Slash]

I'm prepared! I've got a handful of plans, and even more contingency plans for when shit hits the fan. I got this thing where i assess every situation I'm in, and every locale i visit, and figure out how to best defend myself in case of a zombie outbreak. (Yeah, I'm never bored. :D)

The local hospital:

Pros:

-Its a tall building, you get a good view of the surrounding area.
-Plenty of beds for sleeping. the beds are also very easy to move around, so they can be used to barricade the stairwells.
-It's a hospital. There's medicine, medical equipment, supplies and laboratories.
-A large kitchen in the basement. Small ones on every floor.
-Surveillance and communication
-Has its own generators for power.
-Helicopter pad.
-Has a garage with sturdy and well-supplied ambulances in case an evacuation is needed.
-Tons of supplies. Everything from sheets to tape. Macgyver could build rome in a day with all the stuff found in hospitals.

Cons:
-Many people will probably gather here. More people = more people to care for, and more potential undead.
-Likely to be filled with sick people or zombies. I wouldn't know what to do with the sick people. If its full of zombies I've devised plans on how to lure them out and/or kill them.

Another plan include anchoring a ferry a little off the shore. The pros of this would be maneuverability, little chance of zombies getting on board, very high decks to scout and snipe from, toilets and a basic kitchen. Cons include limited water, limited supplies and few decent places to sleep. We would have to land every now and then and send raiding parties ashore to get food, water and supplies.

Then there's this little island close to where i live. No one is living there, but its an old old church, with an old farmhouse and barn where the priests and stuff used to live. There's a pretty good deer population, there's plenty of wood for burning, and the farm has tools and utilities. Pros include no population, being cut off from the outside world and decent housing. Cons include few supplies, no communication with the outside world, the place being full of ticks, and of course its haunted as hell. (800 year old church, houses around are 100-300 years old.)

All of the above are plans for the slow moving romero kind of zombie.

It's a little trickier planning for a I am legend or 28 days later kind of zombie outbreak. It complicates clearing areas of zombies, and they kill/infect a lot faster. My plan in that case is to stay mobile and seek out low population areas. The ideal place for that kind of outbreak would be a remote island or an oil rig. Of course the latter would need a helicopter.. There's plenty of basically abandoned fishing communities around here, only accessible by boat. I think that might be the most realistic and practical choice.

The Zombie Survival Guide has lots of useful info. Weapons and stuff are nice and all, but think if you really want to survive a zombie outbreak you have to be practical. Always think What would macgyver do? Don't take any unnecessary chances. Firearms are bad if the zombies are attracted to sound. Also if the head is the only place that will kill it, you have to be a pretty good shot in very stressed situations. I'm not saying i wouldn't want a gun in that situation, I'm just saying i wouldn't rely on it too much - rather keep it as a last resort. I think a crowbar or a machete would be more useful. (also serving other purposes than just killing.)

[arttorney]

You never see people surrounding their digs with bear traps in zombie movies. It works on werewolves after all. Maybe they don't see the aesthetic value of having a big field of live zombies chained up out front. That must be it.

If you want to use the trap over again you will eventually have to do something about the zombie. Maybe if you have a backhoe you can crush it with the bucket without hurting your bear trap too much.

(Everybody taking notes?)

Maybe you can make these big old plywood pieces with flypaper goop on them like giant roach motels. If you want to be comical, just make them about 2 ft square so the zombies can still walk around really slow like zombie ducks with plywood feet. I think it would be an interesting variation on performance art.

[SalOnimaruRem]

Slash i like the hide out and all, but where would you get food and plus with a lot of people won't u run out of food in watever time?
i'll be the guy who protects yall by woopin some zombie's ass ;)

[Slash]

Arttourney, bear traps are hard to come by. And if there is a store that carries them in your town chances are they don't have a whole lot in stock.

Various kinds of traps are a good idea tho. Father gregori had the idea in ravenholm.

//edit: Oni Rem, your strategy won't hold up. You're gonna need to stop for food and sleep eventually. Then you'd have to improvise and sleep somewhere potentially unsafe. A hospital is pretty well stocked on food. I'm thinking a group of say 20 people could easily live a couple of months off of their supplies. And if things got really really desperate the morgue would be full of frozen steak. :P

[VulgarDragon]

Zombies? No, shotgun and knives won't work. They are already dead so you can't really kill them with a gun or knife. I'm gonna build me a flamethrower and when they come, they will be done extra crispy.

And in this day and age the fact that anyone reads anything should be celebrated, not ridiculed - bandwagon or not. //edit: I'm actually glad the bandwagon exists, otherwise one of these books might have slipped under my radar. And you should be glad too, it gives you another thing to be a smartass about. :P


Steering back from Light's great and relevant (as usual) contribution to this thread, I thought I'd mention army manuals for survival, you can find them online. A ton of great info that might save lives, not just during zombie outbreaks, but also in less apocalyptic and more realistic emergencies.

[wassermelone]

This is, along with fight club, atlas shrugged and fear and loathing is basically the only book most people online read.

That popular thing you like? It sucks.

[kev ferrara]

Here's what I don't get. This whole Zombie Apocalypse thing is premised on the fact that "When there is no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth." Well, okay, fine. But I always assumed Hades would be infinite... like Heaven is. It is imaginary after all. So how could they run out of room?! It doesn't make sense. So it sounds like there's some kind of fucked up real estate scam going on in the afterlife, which is typical of those unholy bastards.

Either way, I think the only smart option is to simply make more room in hell by bulldozing or whatever. I guess the contractors who built the Chunnel could probably put the proper crew together to do the digging and the blasting.

Barring that, I think a good idea is to go hide in a newly vacated grave with your rations. Zombies only seem to leave their graves and I never see them return. So you'll be safe until Zombie Jesus arrives.

[Lake]

if they're thriller zombies, I'd bust out some MAD C-Walking/Moonwalking/Breakdance moves and then those BRAINSUCKAZ got SERVED.

[Serpian]

Regniruth: Yeah, it's really sharp, but the bandaid has nothing to do it. I cut myself on a staple. A staple infected with the RAGE! And no, I dind't make it, I bought it in Kenya. Not some tourist crap either, I bought it used, straight from the real nomads of the Samburu people (relatives to the Maasai).

Is that thing for cutting the zombies' heads off or spanking their putrid little bottoms?

Both. Depends on how NAUGHTY they are...

[Penumbra]

This topic is exactly why I have a full suit of armor in my studio.

...and I'm never more than 10 ft away from a broadsword.


Seriously though...I just spent the last few weeks collecting and watching every zombie movie I could find (including FIDO).
I don't feel so well...

[jadefoodog]

i had a dream about zombie hunting last night only they zombies couldnt see but hunted based off body heat but fior some reason i didnt have body heat i think it was associated with me having been shot but it was like walking through a forest of blind and death people chopping of heads and shooting them.

in a more realistic situation id practice jogging cause in most real zombie movies they are slow as piss (except maybe for the virus based zombie movies)


but all in all zombies may be humankinds next evolution into a more earth friendly species without all the useage of cars and factories its only logical

[serhc]

if they're thriller zombies, I'd bust out some MAD C-Walking/Moonwalking/Breakdance moves and then those BRAINSUCKAZ got SERVED.

just in case of the more realistic situation where the zombies just plod around, i'd practice walking around 'aimlessly' with your arms up - they'll never notice, and you'd be able to move about freely to gather supplies

[Digital_Blacksmith]

Im sure zombies would be a bit smarter then you holding your arms up and groaning. They can smell fresh flesh most likely. I would go to my grandfathers farm, where everything is fenced up with heavy metal fences, wide open views, and shitloads of guns and swords. Plus, its a goat farm, so lots of goat meat to eat on. Plus there are heavy vehicles to get the fuck out if need be.

[Penumbra]

Yeah but ya gotta watch out because if the movies have it right, they bunch up on you. I think it's best to stay mobile. No place is safe.

The first thing you can do to protect yourself is Believe. If I see someone lurching down the street in the middle of the night I sleep with a sword under my pillow.

...as a side note my kid has a little aquarium of sea monkeys. The box said they're only supposed to live 4 to 6 weeks. These freakin things are six months old and you can see them from across the room.

I think its already begun...

[Serpian]

In Shaun of the Dead they trick the zombies by imitating them. A while.

But I definately believe that the best tactic is to keep moving. Also cover any vulnerable areas on your body with whatever you can, cloth, metal, as even the smallest scratch might turn you! Protective glasses and something to cover your mouth would be smart as well.

[jrr]

yes, keep moving! that's the key
alpha male B.A. Baracus types would go to home depot and build a tank. possibly carrying along tons of propane to blow up said zombies. much better than staying in a mall and eating yourself to death.

[Costau D]

Or grab all your supplies and hitch it too the desert. Setup camp miles from any civilization, and the zombies will track you and die in the heat. But, what kind of zombies are we talking about here? The kind that are magical and can last forever seeking brains, or the ones that can starve to death?

[woodbert]

Magical Zombies? Sounds a little unbelievable if you ask me.

[jadefoodog]

Magical Zombies? Sounds a little unbelievable if you ask me.

yeah cause all the other zombies are so believable.

lol i love the "fido" exsplanation that space radiation causes the dead to come back



"son you can never trust old people"

[Jabo]

I also think a little zombie differentiation would be helpful. I'm merely talking about the slow moving "undead" ones, raising from their graves. The fast moving, Rage-virus ones are those that I care about. As already stated, I think time is a factor here. As far as I know, they don't devour their victims, they simply kill them and move on to the next. And in all their rage, they forget to eat. That's why they starve after 5 weeks. So, hiding is an option if you're totally sealed off and have enough supplies for 2 months. But we all know from experience that this won't ever happen. So shoot and run is the best you can do. Going by car is good as long as you don't try to drive over a pile of carom cars in a tunnel.

[Marco Mazzoni]

I think the bikers in the original Dawn of the Dead had the right idea. They were fully mobile, heavily armed and there was plenty of them. A full size RV filled with supplies and communication equipment can serve as a mobil HQ while you go town to town, sending in a pack of raiders to loot/scavange shops/houses/gas stations for supplies. If you want to be a hero you can even bring a bus to gather survivors, but that would no doubt complicate things.

The main concern would certainly be fuel, so you'll probably want to think about digging in somewhere for a long term outbreak. In that case I'd just have to take over one of those farms the rest of you guys are held up in. Sorry, but it's survival of the fittest, y'know?

but all in all zombies may be humankinds next evolution into a more earth friendly species without all the useage of cars and factories its only logical
Think again, rotting lets loose all sorts of greenhouse gasses.

I think the bikers in the original Dawn of the Dead had the right idea. They were fully mobile, heavily armed and there was plenty of them. A full size RV filled with supplies and communication equipment can serve as a mobil HQ while you go town to town, sending in a pack of raiders to loot/scavange shops/houses/gas stations for supplies. If you want to be a hero you can even bring a bus to gather survivors, but that would no doubt complicate things.

The main concern would certainly be fuel, so you'll probably want to think about digging in somewhere for a long term outbreak. In that case I'd just have to take over one of those farms the rest of you guys are held up in. Sorry, but it's survival of the fittest, y'know?

"Wake up, sucker! We're thieves and we're bad guys. That's exactly what we are. We gotta find our own way."

Much as I loved the remake of Dawn, I would have really liked them to have included the whole biker squad in it - one of the best parts of the original movie.

It was a great addition to the story dynamic - it went from mall survivors vs. zombies to mall survivors vs. zombies vs. bikers....

I've got a katana that I'm itching to use on some undead scum. Hunker down in the local elementary school with plenty of provisions, as many guns as I can find and, and radio to send out distress signals. A chainsaw would also be nice in this situation. I'll fall back to the boiler room in a worst-case scenario, and go out chopping as many heads off as I can...

Im reading the manual NOW!!!! Im ready my people!!

Its a great book for those zombie lovers that what a good laugh!

It might be a great thing shack up at home draw all night and kill the undead all day * SINGS - what a wonderful world *

No no no. Chainsaws are heavy, unwieldly, and if you run out of fuel they're useless.

I must admit, I haven't watched many zombie horror movies. Although just last night I bought and watched the movie "I am Legend" for the 1st time...
The viral mutant zombies in that movie were fast and vicious as hell!
They could damn near break the sound barrier with their speed when they lept. D=

I certainly wouldn't want to deal with those, I'd much rather deal with the slow moving ones... Although they're more likely to eat you if they catch up with you which still isn't a good thing...

If zombies are possible then well, I don't want to think about how we'd go about things. Its just terrifying to think of.
I'd just want to go hide somewhere with my family, I'm a HUGE wuss. :bashful:

But if I was tempted to fight one to protect a loved one or something of mine I think I would. Just give me some sort of weapon or blunt object.

Keep 'em! you never know when the REAL thing will happen!

Or, hey, you could make a can launcher from a paintball nitro tank, and a piece of PVC pipe, and have some serious fun!

(who needs a potato launcher when you got 300 cans of corn laying around!)

See the problem with this, is that the government would nuke all the cities and take away our fun!

I hate when the GOV steps in, I really wanted to use that fancy nail gun up there.

See, I always thought this was a silly way to deal with zombies.

a) if any zombies *aren't* in the city, you still have the same problem, only now they've had a good dose of radiation!

b) you basically screw over any living humans on the planet, unless you get them into bunker or something.

And... uh... zombies + radiation = what? :/ Something scary, I'm sure, if we're rolling by horror-movie logic!

Didn't they make some movie out of that in the 90's. "C.H.U.M" or something, it was an acro-nym for something, green zombie people turned into monsters by the goverment storeing chemicals in the sewers...
