I was totally joking, however in retrospect, assuming all the power grids haven't been knocked out. You can charge it anywhere you find cover. perhaps a solar mod kit.

Lacks the terrain capability of a bike, but I suppose it's better than nothing. :laugh:

Crowbar is one of the best weapons you can use for close combat against a zombie. It doesn't run out of ammo, it's solid and able to crack a skull, it's light enough to wield one handed without getting tired fast, and you can use it when escaping to pry open doors.
Now, if we're gonna talk about zombies they've gotta be the slow zombies because the master of the zombie movie George A Romero himself has said and I quote "fast zombies suck". And since they'll be Romero's zombies, you have to realize that anyone who died became a zombie, not just those who were bitten. The bite just eventually killed you.
As far as where to go, Alaska into the arctic. Already not alot of people there, so the initial zombie population should be low. And then you've gotta consider what happens to zombies in the cold. A corpse has no body heat, so eventually the zombie bodies would freeze and be unable to move. True living in Alaska isn't much of a life, but if you get a decent stock pile of fuel you can stay warm and power generators that probably already exist in the houses. Now just make sure that you bring at least 2 or 3 HOT girls with you, and you can live out your life being the last man on Earth they'll ever see.

oh for god's sakes. I'd take a small group of humans with a sampling of plants and animals into the shelter in the colorado mountains or something that will survive a nuclear war. Then I would simply nuke the earth. We'll grow our own food and animals inside of the base for as long as it takes. I would only nuke the earth with the least amount possible but with enough radiation that everything will hopefully die. Radiation kills dead flesh as well.... It need not be alive to be destroyed and with hopefully most sources of food gone they will die soon. Still the radiation level of the earth will need to go down before you can come out in like 100,000 years etc...

See, it's thought processes like that which cause the spread.
If he's going to die either way, you ensure that he does not become infected.

Yea that's great. Just stay unprepared and unrealistic.
Fact: You done have access to nukes.
Be a survivor and have a viable plan arranged before the IZC.

If it's between getting rid of one more zombie and having a horde swarm you in 5 minutes or adding one to the zombie population and getting away, I gotta go for that which gets me away, even if it creates one more.

If the horde is five minutes away, what makes you think they won't chase you down too?
There's no "Let's eat the guy who screamed first" thought process here, it's just:
Heard sound.
Hey, look, meatbag.
Meatbag tasty. Chase meatbag.

In every zombie movie (which is the basis of all of our arguments as we have no "real life" evidence), when one person "falls behind", the horde of zombies chasing the group stop to feed on their screaming body. Once they are done they continue the chase. What he is saying, if his buddy was to trip or get injuried and the zombies were chasing him, he wouldnt kill his friend. He would let the zombies rip him apart, causing the chasing horde to stop to eat first, thus widening the gap between him and the zombies. So there is one more zombie in the world, but at least he has a bit more of a lead on the zombies chasing him now.

Exactly. It's cold, but it works. And if I have to put the bullet in his leg that makes him fall behind, I'll have to consider it.

If you want the real "practical" plan then fine. Grab a sniper rifle, pistol, crowbar, and flashbangs. The flashbangs can and will help to get you out of situations by blinding the zombies and will disorient them so that they may even attack each other. Grenades may cause harm to yourself at close range and when blinded it should be simple to either hide or sneak past them. Or simply kill them with your crowbar however I'm thinking about a group of zombies. Explosives are ok as you could blow down a wall or bridge between you and the zombies.
For all the people that say stay in one place I have to disagree. It's much better to keep moving. When one zombie finds you somehow they almost all do. The sniper rifle is to pick off zombies without them noticing. if your camping in a spot for one night and you see a zombie your able to kill them before they see you and keep moving. An armored car is nice for when things get hectic. However be ready to ditch that car in return for something such as a bike if the terrain get's difficult. Of course I may have forgot to mention you probably can't carry everything by yourself so you'll need to get yourself a crew. Also explosive mines are probably a very good idea. Sure they'll alert other zombies but say if your sleeping that a mine explosion will tell you someone is there. Having 1 person stay up is good as well but that 1 person cannot be a drag during the day.
A spade is a good tool as well. Useful for digging a hole where you may hide or for creating an ice shelter of some sort if you are up north.
A silenced pistol as well for the close range situations though an mp5 could work as well.
No need for any hard body armor as the zombies aren't using guns. You need an all weather clothing which is tight but easy to move in. Also it should be strong and thick enough for zombies not to bite through. Multiple layers is fine. Some type of ballistic body clothing would be good. Not any aramid based clothing such as kevlar as they will degrade in water and you cannot have that happening.
Also maps.... of everywhere. Not road maps so much as terrain maps and maps of rivers so that you can find freshwater.
Oh and if these are romero's zombies... fireworks and a launcher.
A combat knife as well if you somehow get tangled in something.
Honestly if you can get yourself inside a nuclear bunker of some sort that would be best. It disobeys moving around but if the zombies aren't smart they won't be able to smell you and would never see you. make sure it's stocked full of food etc. Or hide in a secret underground base if you know where one is and seal all entrances by placing mines every 5 meters around it but not so close that it would blow the entrance away. Eventually the zombies will starve and decay. I'd say if you can move around enough in 10 years or hide for that amount of time it'll be fine.
I gave the practical strategy and then the bunker strategy. Still anything wrong with the moving around? missing gear?Originally posted by: waggy

well yeah if you can get into a well stocked bunker that would be best. but what are the odds? unless you are in the military serving on one. but the odds are its already closed and full of people.
also somehting such as a cruise ship or drilling platform would be great. IF you had supplies anyway.
