I think a good team of 6-8 people in full leather and riot helmets, with bats will be able to form a good circle that can beat of any zombie attack. Guns should be reserved for desperate measures because the sound will draw more zombies.

Provided you have a good supply of ammo that's hardly a problem. Actually I'd say it a good thing as you will clear a given area of it's zombies faster and with less risk.

It would be good to have some sweet snowmobiles on hand for escape. damn gotta go

the cold has disadvantages also. Zombies do not feel cold. Also the cold slow's down the rate of decay. so you can have a frozens Zombie come back to "life" years later and destroy the area.

Also how you going to eat? only so many canned stuff you can use. hunting? Zombies will eat anything alive. while they prefer human meat they will eat anything.

But zombies are brain dead. They don't think, they act. And they are slow. Animals know how to react around predators. Their only advantage is numbers. They come in slow waves, but huge waves.

true. but when you are talking millions if not billions of predators they will overwhelm the population of animals.

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.

If you're in a major city there will be hundreds of thousands of zombies. You got that many bullets??

I never understood how zombies are a threat---they walk so slow you could just walk briskly and get away. Zombies must transmit a "trip" wave that makes people fall over the smallest crack in the sidewalk.

I didn't get to that part... I had to go get a coffee

Good point... I guess I would have to stock up on some non-perishables.

I think my whole plan was just a ploy to get to be able to go sleddin'.

they are a threat because they are hard to kill. they can lose all 4 limbs and still come after you. they do not sleep, do not fear, do not fell warmth or cold, they are merceless. they will hunt you to the ends of the earth.

for every living person that is killed by a zombie another zombie is BORN! so in a class 4 outbreak we are talking billions of Zombies. they will get you if you are not ready for them.

One or two zombies aren't a problem. If you don't get any of their blood in your eyes/mouth/nose (big if), you can punch one to death. The problem is when there are dozens or hundreds of them all around you, coming at you like a fog. You smash one zombie's head in, but another one bites you in the neck.

Dont you border up local walmart with all the ammo in stock, food to feed you and locks and building material to lock them out ? .. build a oil moat around it and light it up..

I could personally contribute about 20,000 to the cause.

100,000 rounds really isn't alot. Figure a case is 800 to 1000 rounds each depending on the round. Any national gurad or army armory should be sitting on several hundred thousand rounds (if not millions) at least.

Wal-marts are the first places to go during major zombie outbreaks. Considering the level of hygiene of their employees and customers, it is hard to distinguish the normal people in wal-mart from the zombies.

5. What's easy to grab and hard to get rid of once you're caught? Answers: Long hair and baggy clothing. If you get grabbed by the loop on baggy carpenter pants, you're going to get pulled in and bitten before you can drop trou and flee.

7. Bicycles are quiet, much more terrain-capable than a car, easily repaired, and of course, require no fuel other than feeding the rider. If you have a car with a quick-detach bike rack, that's perfect. Drive until you run out of gas, then immediately abandon the car and ride forward on two wheels.

And remember, it doesn't have to be a large-caliber round to be a kill - it just has to destroy the brain. So go with the hitman's special - the .22.

Yep, a women's .22 shooting group supplied with enough ammo could take care of a lot of them.

i was thinking motorcycle. but wouldn't you get much more tired riding a bike? and would a car offer more protection than a bike? at least with a car you can plough through any zombie roadblock. with a bike you're screwed.

You might get tired if you burn yourself out. Even a leisurely pedal is a good deal faster than a zombie's shamble.

A motorcycle is good, but again, loud. It's like ringing the dinner bell.

A car will offer more protection, but only in motion. Once it's stopped, the windows will break quickly, and the zombies get past the crunchy shell to the soft, nougaty center. Also, consider that the accrued damage from multiple impacts with zombies (broken windshield, damaged radiator, body part in the wheel well) will slow you down fast.

Finally, possibly the most important factor - terrain capability. If there's a ten-car pileup that's blocking the road, you aren't going to be able to get through in a car. On a bike, you can ride around the whole mess. If there's a large gap in the pavement or a barricade of corpses, you can pick your bike up and climb across.

Perhaps on a Segway? Armed with your own personal weaponry.

Full body armor, steel katana, and pistol. That's all folks.

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

sure a car can offer some protection. at least until you run out of gas. but then you better get away from the car ASAP.

but say you get sourronded by Zombies in a car. they can easly overturn the car and smash out windows etc. not o mention eventually Zombie parts will force it to stop one way or another. You are also forced to stay on the road with a car.

So what abouta 4X4 truck or suv? it can go offroad (well a few of them can). but they have really bad gas milage. then you have the trouble of finding gas. and they can still be knocked over.

a motorcycle gets great gas milage and offroad potental. great for a quick escape! i would consider a motorcycle t he best of the 3.

but a bicycle is far far better. a Zombie moves at slow walk. so a bike can easely zoom away from them. Also you do not have to worry about gas and they are easy to repair.
