Re: Zombie appocalypse, what do you do?
I don't even know what I'm going to do after 6th form, let alone a zombie invasion

But tinned food and a kettle (infected water etc) is all I would need for food.
I have always had the theory to cover my house in mirrors. The zombies in Dead Set and 28 days later just stare at their reflections and walk away. -
Re: Zombie appocalypse, what do you do?
I'd head for the water. A sizable yacht with ample supplies is the best way to live it up in a zombie apocalypse. Have you ever seen a zombie swim? I don't think so.
Besides, chicks dig boats. It will definitely be my duty to the human race to recruit as many scantily clad B-rate model/actress's as possible on my sweet yacht. Now we can repopulate the earth. Great thread! Bye now, I've got to uhhh.......... go do something.

Re: Zombie appocalypse, what do you do?
Well I would probably stay put. I live in a town of 80.000 so travel will be a no-no. But we have enough food for a week or so at least, a pair of katanas, plenty of flammable thinners and petrol and a good selection of power tools. So really we should be ok till something gets done :L

Re: Zombie appocalypse, what do you do?
1 - Gather as much food and water as i can from home. I already own a crossbow, a long bow, plenty of arrows, a high powered air rifle and several big hunting knives, so i have at least some means to defend myself.
2 - Gather my fishing rods and tackle (you will see why later).
3 - Head to the nearest gun shop, or if the gun shop has already been loot, a hardware store and arm myself further.
4 - Heroicly rescue a beautiful woman who in turn falls in love with me and tags along (gotta have some companionship)
5 - Steal a boat and sail about a mile or so out to sea and set anchor. Not a problem for me as i live 5 minutes from the coast and there are thousands upon thousands of boats. Pray that the zombies cant swim.
6 - Live a relatively comfortable life on the boat with my new found partner, fish for food, return to land once a week to forage and stock up on food and drinking water. Wait for it all to blow over.
Reality
I would probably get bitten and turned before i even realised there was a zombie apocalypse. -
Re: Zombie appocalypse, what do you do?
I would run over to the local police station and pik up a bunch of weapons and ammo .... then I would run down to the the grocery store and ransack the place to hell
... both of these are just a few minutes away from my house wich is on the 5th floor... so no zombies can climb up and my stairs hav a big entrance door wich is triple locked and is damn heavy!!!
I would say I would pretty much survive!!

Re: Zombie appocalypse, what do you do?That's what people do everyday in Liverpool.(Original post by Shabalala)
I would then drive to the nearest Military Barracks if it is desserted then I would go to the armoury and take a sniper, a machine gun and a few hand guns and find the correct ammunition for them. I would also get Military clothing and supplies and I would ditch my car and take either a Miliary Truck or if I can find one then a tank and spend the day working out how to use each gun and drive the tank and find a bomb sniffer dog like the one from I Am Legend to keep me company lol. I would then drive to the hospital in the tank and take as many medical supplies as possible. Next I would drive about the country to search for any relatives and pick any up and then finally find a hot young female who is on her own and in need to help and take her with me for sex lolololol. -

...Toasters can be of use against zombies? -
Re: Zombie appocalypse, what do you do?
Hmmm, I'm honestly not sure what I'd do. I've always thought that in the long term heading for the coast or a lake would be sensible but you've got to come back to land and you're not going to get lucky every time on foraging missions.
If a zombie apocalypse were to break out right now, looking around my room, there's not much save a penknife I'd have to defend myself with. On the plus side, I'm on the second floor, so there's only 1 entrance to defend/barricade. Alternatively, I've got an awesome crawl space which connects to another room of the house so if they did manage to get into my room, I'd sit very quietly in there until they shamble off. -
Re: Zombie appocalypse, what do you do?
anyone read "the zombie survival guide"? its a good read, and has useful advice :L (its written as a manual, and by the time youve read it you half believe zombies are real, and you definitely know how to survive)
anyway, if a zombie apocalypse happened, I'd meet up with family, pick up my gf, and we'd form a convoy of landrovers etc and get up to a scottish isle and hole it up there.... some of my relatives are farmers, and all are survivalist types, so we'd be set :P -
Re: Zombie appocalypse, what do you do?True but I always wondered where they got so many shopping trolleys from without being mauled to death!(Original post by ritchie888)
They also didn't build the barricade well enough. FOOLS!
Anywho, I've always thought breaking into a supermarket and living there would be an exceptional idea.
All the food you could ever want, along with utilities, lighting, entertainment, weapons (knifes and toasters, we're not stupid enough to sell firearms in our supermarkets yet). You have nice long corridors to see zombies coming from a mile away. Plus most supermarkets have shutters and barriers when they're close to stop from shoplifters/zombies.
Ah you share the same idea then, it just seems logical (if logic can be applied when zombies are involved). I'd be living on tinned food for a long long time! In a surreal-er version of events, I would grab my double decked bus, pick up the loved ones, drive to my local airport, and somehow fly a small plane to somewhere rural unlikely to be as badly hit, i.e. the Channel islands or some rural Scottish isles :P -
Re: Zombie appocalypse, what do you do?That's actually a sweet idea. Although in the movies, they all head to the 'barracks' that everyone seems to know the location of which inevitably gets overrun, not the supermarket (like in 28 Days Later).(Original post by Steevee)
Supermarket is a bad idea. Everyone will be heading there. As soon as things start to go bad, I'm down the corner shop buying things up. I'm not going to need that money anyway. Then I intiate plan Z. Me and a couple of well prepared friends high tail it up to the local primary school with our supplies. Fenced all around, to about 7ft, large fields of oepn ground for zombies to have to cross from 3 sides, should they get through the fences. Security doors on the outside, second floor that is easily blocked off, two or three outbuildings, a ton of hockey sticks, cricket bats and many, many other things, and then of course tons of chairs and tables for barricades should the zombies break through.
So, after that, we kit ourselves out in the cricket pads they have there, load up our crossbows and airguns, which we already have, give blunt weapons to those who were not so well prepared, and start zombie killing through the fences.
I can't really fault the primary school idea, my local primary school looks fully kitted out for a zombie epidemic, again the only concern is getting provisions and surviving whilst looking for supplies, how would you deal with that? -
Re: Zombie appocalypse, what do you do?Yeah the zombie variation is a big contingency for the survivor. If it were to be Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days Later running rage-infected zombies, everyone would be ****ed when coming out of their fortified hideouts for supplies.(Original post by SnoochToTheBooch)
what kind of zombies are these? if they're the typical shuffling, moaning, hopeless ones that look like tramps on ketamine, I'd have no problem, just go round knocking their heads off with an axe or whatever. As long as you didn't accidentally fall asleep in public somehow you'd be fine. If they're of the fast and ferocious 28 days later variety, I'd probably just barricade myself in some basement or tall building with as much tinned food as I could find. Infact, the best thing to do would be to get some people together and take over a cruise ship or something, and just head out to sea for a bit to wait it out.
If it were Shaun of the Dead style, we could all continue as usual I suppose. -
Re: Zombie appocalypse, what do you do?Interesting, not for personal vanity ;P ?(Original post by HighwayUnicorn)

I have always had the theory to cover my house in mirrors. The zombies in Dead Set and 28 days later just stare at their reflections and walk away.
No one ever suggests just staying in their house; I think logically this is what I would do, probably take my food etc up to the attic and wait for a bit! -
Re: Zombie appocalypse, what do you do?Yeah. It even has blank pages for you to add your own tips in the event of a zombie Apocalypse!(Original post by Crimmy)

Although the book that goes with it did scare me. It was so real.
Should be interesting to see how they do making the film but I have a feeling that it isn't going to be as good as the book was.
Although those zombies seemed to like the water, which puts a bit of a downer on the boat escape plan. If it was to late to head up to the friends up very, very north then it would be up the loft for me with as much food/water/books as me and the family could gather. Then hope they can't climb.
