How would you survive a zombie apocalypse?

[jerney]

Discuss.

[Aemma]

Eat the zombies. Your best defense is a great offence. :D

[Germanicus]

Thats a good question, but it is up to luck really, obviously the hordes of zombies would decimate the population, the only probable way to temporarily survive is at sea.
Living on a boat, catching fish for food, collecting rain water would be your only chance until the zombies ate everyone, then starving, then luck holding you can repopulate...;)

Good idea. Some believe that zombies do not starve to death, though

[Eldritch]

Some believe that zombies do not starve to death, though

Old-skool zombies are re-animated dead people, therefore they can't die, of starvation or anything else. Except of course of their head being shot to pieces.

28 Days Later and co., on the other hand, feature zombies that are basically regular people, only they've been infected by a virus that makes them rabid, and ravenous. They'll eventually first become slow and weak, and then die on their own. :wink

My survival strategy would of course depend on which kind of zombies we were dealing with. :thumb001:

Hmmmm, IMO this girlie would be the wrong selection, my choice if Mrs Germanicus did not make it would be a woman of generous proportions, able to last a few weeks on starvation diet, enough bosom to breastfeed a ward of new born babies..:coffee:

[Beorn]

I would hole up in the house and hope for the best. If the best fails to materialise, I would shoot both my children and the wife before turning the gun upon myself.

Hehehe, i have a secret weapon ;). Slanina (bacon) and kajmak ( no word for that in English, because you don't have that type of the food) are so caloric that a few slices per day is more than enough :thumbs up

[Germanicus]

I would hole up in the house and hope for the best. If the best fails to materialise, I would shoot both my children and the wife before turning the gun upon myself.


Gasps......:eek:

[Matritensis]

Just give me some shotguns,a few friends and lots of ammo.

[Germanicus]

I would hole up in the house and hope for the best. If the best fails to materialise, I would shoot both my children and the wife before turning the gun upon myself.

In a fast moving scenario like a zombie plague, the use of a weapon would be limited, unless you venture out to search for guns you might end up dead, the obvious place to find weapons in the UK are abandoned Police vehicles, the police stations do indeed have weapons, but in the probability of a zombie plague the arsenals would be empty.
My plan would be to implement a weapon search on my ex CPSA members households.
Ammo, guns, equipment would be found.

[Aramis]

--- and kajmak ( no word for that in English, because you don't have that type of the food)

We are Asians once more...


Kaymak, kajmak, kaimak or qeymağ, also geymar, gaimar, is a creamy dairy product, similar to clotted cream, made in the Balkans, Turkey, the Middle East, Central Asia, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and India. It is made from the milk of water buffalos in the East or of cows in the West.

As for the Zombies, I'd spend the time in a pub, as this educative video tells us:

[Jarlsson]

Theoretically I would URGE to a space station, after of course... having found the most Nordid girl on Earth:D and than BAM! Off to Mars we go! From here I would live on the huge supplies I had taken with me, spacefood we call it.
After many years and many Hallstatts born, the ultimate civilization would be created! The Ubermensch society had managed to grow food on Mars and develop themselves into mere god-like individuals.
And than one day... A large spacefleet descends upon Earths surface. (No its not aliens) its the glorious god-like people from the sky! Accompanied by an immensive arsenal of firepower never seen before!

And so did the Earth get cleansed and no harm had comed to the glorious people of the sky.:D

Aaah... what a good dream:p

[Don]

Cloned, sorry.

[Don]

I am a BIG fan of Zombie subculture. Romero is for me a Genious, no matter how much criticism had received his last movies.

Does this Image, printed in one of my favorite t-shirts tell you something? :)
http://horrorgy.com/thebagandthecrow/files/2010/03/zombie-apocalypse-150x150.jpg

Well, is a matter of pasión to me and due to that, many ideas, comments and opinions flow to my mind about that... I have many strategies, but one of the most important, without any doubt, would be the preparation to the inexorable close combat and exposure to the contamination by contact to blood.


Trust me, this would be PRICELESS when zombies teeth and hands will try to touch your alive flesh:

http://www.brianbero.com/german_gothic_md.jpg

Before a big scale of contamination, the apocalypse is inexorable as well, and we must recover the ancient ways of live and self defense. No bullets, no firearms, no fuel will last. And by the way, fire weapons are more useless than we think against zombies.
The projectile must hit in the base of the brain... they are limited...

Swords, horses and a great body shape...

...(and finally... the recovery of ancient cults of necromancy... ;))

[Radojica]

And what will do if 5 of them attack you, throw you to the ground,a,a,a,a,a? You will be like a turtle in that!! Also, cutting them will make the blood go all around like the fountain and something will go into your eyes and ta-da, two minutes after that :eek:

This is what you need to protect yourself

http://shrani.si/f/1c/lW/4yzMxVNN/komplet1.jpg

If it's good against radioactive fallouts, it's good against zombies too ;) :swl

[SilverKnight]

AK-47 inaccurate :eek:?! Have you tried to shoot from that rifle? School target, 100 meters distance, the center (black circle 10 cm in diameter two hits, 35 cm diameter 4 hits, all in all 6 of 6, if you imagine that 35 cm is the size of human head). Also, speaking about the accuracy, I hit the target which was on 350 meters without any scope from my 2nd shot on my 2nd shooting practice, during the night with the rifle from 1982 year :|. When 2 or more shooterS are shooting at one target, they can hit the target up to 600 meters, which is, you must admit, quite a lot. AK-47 (M-70 Serbian version) is designated to be accurate and deadly. With it's 7,62mm caliber and 7g of gunpowder in every bullet, imagine the damage it makes, brrrr...

If you want to be accurate, forget about the pistols, effective range of most of them is 50 meters and in my personal experience, they are not less loud than the rifles. They are, but not THAT much as someone might think.

P.S. nice weapons you have there ;)

Then you are a good shooter with the AK, personaly I shot it once (an AKM I believe) and in MY hands it was inaccurate. The pistol (FS92) is a side-arm and backup weapon and for close range. Even de MP5 is for close range (100 - 150 mtrs). The Remington 700 .308 win is accurate for 800-1000 mtrs, I have never tried it so far bur at a range of 100 mtrs I get a grouping in diameters below 6 cm's. (with the Zeiss lens).

I like your Zastava M-70 too :D by the way

Iranians,
I would form a guerrilla group that will travel to Iran with an Antonov An-124 we have hijacked , there we will use an underground base where we will work with Iranian, and other international scientists to create a cheap but effective hydrogen bomb. We will pay them in gold offcourse, not dollars or pounds. We will camouflage the base, and on the outside a defense bunker will be prepare in case the zombies come to destroy us! . All communication systems from the area will be controlled by us since we will also have hackers and such. Then the platform for the missile to lunch would be prepared. We will then start nuking the hell outta does zombies ! :D

About the civilians will have propaganda centers in every locality, and warning in shortwave radios (since is the most effective communication wave because there's no needs for satellite) all round the world, we will pinpoint every single locations that are in safe areas we have set or "green zones".

Well, i was shooting from Zastava M-70 AB2 (the one you mentioned) which is even less accurate than AK-47 and...that's where my accuracy is ending. With Zastava CZ 99 http://picturearchive.auctionarms.com/4125074938/9213790/tz992.jpg_thumbnail1.jpg I was not very accurate

If you want accuracy and heavy damage, take this (M-93 Black Arrow) and forget about everything else

Effective range to 1600 meteres, good against low-flying airplanes, choppers, light-armed vehicles and ZOMBIES :icon_cool:

[Tyrrhenoi]

I heard that original AK-47 are rare nowadays... The AK-47 was not designed to be a superaccurate weapon. It was made for stopping en penetrating power! As an answer to the german Stg-44, it's an old weapon...

I hope the youtubelink will work.

[Groenewolf]

We would go to the Winchester:D

But seriously. I would probably go to some place to is easy to defend. This is of course should be away from major population centres where at least in the beginning will be the major centres of zombie-infestation. And sure of hell I would avoid the official evac-points. Because before you know it some infected are brought in as survivors and where not put under proper quarantine.

There in our little fortress we could begin the proces of first out surving the zombies. And then the proces of building a nation/tribe.

Of course if the zombie apocalypse was nothing more then a coup by some powerhungry voodoo-wizards we should propably plan for a hardcore guerillia-war to overtrow them.

I would move to a small island in Western-Estonia, kill the few zombies I see, fish, grow vegetables for the winter and I'll probably need a cow or a dozen for my milk needs.

[The Ripper]

Yeah, like Karl, I'd pack my shit, take my loved ones, and fortify our Island in the eastern Gulf of Finland, perhaps even move to the outer Islands in the gulf. The Zombie survival guide however tells of cases where Zombies have travelled under water, walking on the bottom, so some kind of alarm system and fortification of the beach is necessary.

How to Survive a Zombie Attack




Step 1: Preparing for the Inevitable

Your friends and family will probably laugh at you when they find out you're preparing a plan to face the living dead, but Benjamin Franklin (http://www.mahalo.com/benjamin-franklin) once said, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." USHistory.org: The Electric Ben Franklin (http://www.ushistory.org/franklin/quotable/quote67.htm)1 (http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-survive-a-zombie-attack#cite_note-1) Applying Franklin's advice to the possibility of a zombie (http://www.mahalo.com/zombies) outbreak will not only set you well on your way to survival, but you'll also have a chance to play the hero when your unprepared friends and family (http://www.mahalo.com/family) come running (http://www.mahalo.com/running).

Here's how you can make sure you're ready in the event of an outbreak:


Study as much as you can about zombie outbreaks so you are able to recognize one as early as possible.

[/URL]


Familiarize yourself with all of the local retailers that carry guns and ammo.

(http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-survive-a-zombie-attack#cite_note-2)


Map the quickest routes to the largest nearby retail centers like a grocery store, shopping mall or superstore.




Un-infested shopping malls and superstores like Wal-Mart (http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-survive-a-zombie-attack#cite_note-4) or Target (http://www.mahalo.com/target) have potential for long-term survival for small groups of the living.



Since Zombies are easily destroyed by fire, keep an extra can of gasoline on hand.




Scope out local shelters and know their entrances.

(http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-survive-a-zombie-attack#cite_note-5)


Get yourself a firearm and learn how to use it.
Remember the only way to stop a zombie target with a firearm is with a bullet to the brain, so practice, practice, practice!



If possible, stockpile ammunition because you're going to need a lot of it.

(http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-survive-a-zombie-attack#cite_note-8)


Put together a zombie attack care-kit that includes things like batteries, flashlights, canned goods, an emergency radio and first aid kit.


Keep in mind that it's probably better if you don't mention to too many other people that you're preparing for a zombie outbreak. The last place you want to be during a zombie attack is locked up in a hospital mental facility. People infected with early strains of the zombie virus, Solanum, will flock to hospitals to find out what's wrong, and you'll wind up trapped in the eventual war zone.




Step 2: Know Your Enemy

No matter what kind of attack you face it is an essential battle strategy to know your enemy as well as you know yourself. As the living dead, zombies (http://www.mahalo.com/zombies) are a unique enemy. People often make the mistake of not taking them seriously because of their physical appearance and limitations. Familiarize yourself with the different types of zombies. Recognition will make it easier to assess the threat so you are able to properly defend yourself.
The Types of Zombies

Haitian Voodoo Zombies: These animated corpses are the most harmless type of zombies, since they don't generally try to eat the living. Controlled by a voodoo (http://www.mahalo.com/voodoo)

master, they may try to kill you if that is what their master wants.


The Philosophical Zombie: These are every day people who have no sense of self or existence. They simply go through the motions of living and stop there. Zombies: Types of Zombies (http://www.zombies.org/types-of-zombies.html)13 (http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-survive-a-zombie-attack#cite_note-13) This breed many not want to eat your brains, but their thoughtlessness alone could be fatal.



Hollywood Zombie: Your most typical form of zombie, they move slowly and love to feast on brains.




New School Hollywood Zombie: Unlike their predecessors, the new school Hollywood (http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-survive-a-zombie-attack#cite_note-14)Spider-Man (http://www.mahalo.com/spider-man).



breed of zombie move quickly and climb buildings almost as well as




Zombie Appearance and Hygiene
.

Here are a few warning signs that should make it easier to distinguish a zombie (http://www.mahalo.com/zombies) threat



Disheveled personal appearance:




Torn or severely wrinkled clothing.



Muddy clothing.



Unkempt hair.



Dirty fingernails.



They may not respond when you try to communicate.

(http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-survive-a-zombie-attack#cite_note-17)


If they smell dead, chances are they probably were once.



Skin may appear clammy or even decomposed.




They will often linger around cemeteries, especially those that have recently risen from the dead.

(http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-survive-a-zombie-attack#cite_note-19)


Staggering movement, much like someone trying to walk after both of their legs has fallen asleep.

Zombie Capabilities



Since you're going to be battling and evading zombies, it's best if you know what to expect from them physically:



Most zombies will only be able to do things they were physically capable of before they became zombies, so you can rule out flying, mind-melding, telepathy and other extreme capabilities.



The majority of zombies can't run.



Some of the new school Hollywood zombies are capable of moving with incredible speed.



Night vision is a likely possibility, considering how easily many zombies get around in the dark.



They tend to have impeccable hearing.



Their heightened sense of smell will guide them toward fresh prey every time.



There is no evidence on whether their taste is altered, but they do prefer human flesh over the flesh of other animals.

..
Step 3: Fighting Zombies



There may come a time when you will have no choice but to stand up and face the enemy. Here are some important things to keep in mind while fighting zombies (http://www.mahalo.com/zombies):



Never physically wrestle a zombie. You will only wind up getting bit.



Anything you can lift, throw or swing is a potential weapon.



If you only have a blunt object, like a pipe or crowbar, aim for the head and smash.




Small objects, like butter knives, forks or even pens, can be lodged into an eye socket at close range.



Decapitation is an option if you are able to get close enough with a sword (http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2005/4/18/153047/155) or chainsaw (http://www.mahalo.com/saws).




When defending your hide out, put together an arsenal of homemade explosives from the stock of cleaning supplies.



Guns put distance between you and the enemy, minimizing your chances of being bitten.

(http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2005/4/18/153047/155)


Because fire is also a great weapon, use it to your advantage whenever possible.



Do everything you can to notify Armed Forces.



If all else fails, and you find yourself weaponless among a horde of zombies, you can try to act like one of them, but only long enough to get out of reach.







Step 4: Early Strategies

In the early stages of an outbreak how you defend yourself is going to determine how far you advance as a survivor. There are a number of important strategies to self-defense that may seem simple, but are equally important.

Remember: anyone who has been bitten by a zombie cannot be saved. It's only a matter of time before they turn and put your entire survival operation at risk. A zombie attack is not the time to get emotional or nostalgic.


You may feel a little bitter after the attack when your surviving friends and family come running to you for help, but consider this your opportunity to play the hero. The more people you have on your side, the better your chances of survival.




Running

Running may sound like the simplest advice in the world, but when it comes to the traditional Hollywood zombie, it is probably your best defense. Since most traditional zombies move very slowly, run away as fast as you can, and never look back. If you're putting together a zombie survival kit, it might be a good idea to include a good pair of running shoes.
Hiding




With zombies walking around everywhere, you're going to need to find a safe place to hide. The best hiding place is a place that's easy to defend and provides survival necessities like food, water, first aid supplies (http://www.mahalo.com/first-aid-kit), tools and weapons.



Good hiding places:



School or university buildings, preferably with a cafeteria.



The supermarket.




Shopping malls or department stores.

(http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-survive-a-zombie-attack#cite_note-23)


Superstores like Wal Mart or Target.




Bad hiding places:



Shopping malls can be a dangerous hiding place because there are too many entrances to guard.




Basements, houses and garages are no escape zones. (http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-survive-a-zombie-attack#cite_note-22)



A car to which you don't have the keys.




Any building that offers a way in and no way out.



Elevators. Remember there are reasons they say to avoid elevators in an emergency. Consider Zombies one of those reasons.



Once you have a secure hiding place, reinforce it against attack and regularly maintain the reinforcements.



Step 5: Long Term Survival

There is no telling how long a zombie (http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-survive-a-zombie-attack#cite_note-27) attack will last. If the virus (http://www.mahalo.com/solanum-virus) runs rampant across the entire country, your only hope for survival is a long term plan.


Don't put all of your stock in a big government or military rescue. Immediately resign yourself to the notion that you are on your own (http://www.survivaltopics.com/survival/9-point-survival-plan/).


Research disaster preparedness techniques (http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-survive-a-zombie-attack#cite_note-28) now.


Learn how to survive in the wilderness.
Zombies are less likely to be found in places with fewer people to feast on, so consider taking to the woods.



Skills like hunting, fishing, identifying nonpoisonous plants for food, building a fire without matches and finding safe shelter are a must-have.




Practice your survival skills so you are ready when the time comes.

(http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-survive-a-zombie-attack#cite_note-29)


Learn safety and first aid beforehand so you can take care of other survivors.




In all group situations it is essential to establish leadership. If you aren't comfortable in this position, support someone who is.



(http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-survive-a-zombie-attack#cite_note-30)





Stable leadership is essential to community survival.
A good leader will make sure survivors feel a familiar sense of comfort and stability in a world gone mad.
They will also ensure that things get done right.



Taking over and fortifying a superstore is your best chance at longterm survival, especially if you have a group of survivors working together.
If you can get the tap water to work, fill every available container in the store with it so you have a good supply of fresh water.


Take into consideration the expiration dates and spoilage of certain foods.


You should have a pretty good stock of batteries for things like flashlights and two way radios. (http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-survive-a-zombie-attack#cite_note-31)
ndoor gardening will provide you with food. Head to the garden center and start hauling planting soil and seeds to the roof.K
If you live in a region that has harsh winters, you may want to try growing indoors.
Access to plumbing and running water probably won't last long. You'll want to set aside an area of the roof for human waste so it doesn't contaminate your living space. (http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-survive-a-zombie-attack#cite_note-22)



Worst Case Scenario: If you find yourself stranded and your chance of survival is slim, you may want to consider ending your life before you starve to death. Starving to death almost guarantees that you come back from the dead hungrier than ever.( not sure about this one though).

Conclusion

Unfortunately, there are no guarantees when it comes to zombies (http://www.mahalo.com/zombies). They have evolved in Hollywood (http://www.mahalo.com/hollywood) in ways no one ever imagined, and an actual attack may be nothing like we'd expect. It isn't certain how long they will survive once their food supply is cut off, so long-term planning is the most effective way to ensure your survival in the face of disaster. Keep a clear head, put together a plan and remember that sometimes the best strategy is a good pair of running shoes.

Radojica, we will never agree weaponwise man :wink
But I have huge respect for someone with an AK, exept when I am standing
in a distance of about 500-1000 mtrs from one. Then my Remington 700 will make a big hole in that person's head :thumb001: SNIPER RULE

In a fast moving scenario like a zombie plague, the use of a weapon would be limited, unless you venture out to search for guns you might end up dead, the obvious place to find weapons in the UK are abandoned Police vehicles, the police stations do indeed have weapons, but in the probability of a zombie plague the arsenals would be empty.
My plan would be to implement a weapon search on my ex CPSA members households.
Ammo, guns, equipment would be found.

Damn! That's mighty elaborate! ...just as if this was daily bread for you. Are you sure you're not American, Germanicus? ;)


The Ubermensch society had managed to grow food on Mars and develop themselves into mere god-like individuals.

And than one day... A large spacefleet descends upon Earths surface. (No its not aliens) its the glorious god-like people from the sky!

Yeah! The brave new world for the blonde Halstatt demi-gods! Coon's wetdream ;)



P.S.

I'd pick some robust hal-Neanderthals along to imporve the stock. Otherwise after some 100 years, it would be probably become quite hard to tell a male apart from a female :P

I just have a good sense of survival thats all, handling weapons has been a passion for most of my life, i used to be quite knowledgable.
Being American? nahh, but i do share American views on gun ownership...:)





Here in England it is a little different from continental Europe, my country is very populated, the cities, towns, villages, are all easily commutable between each other, not like the huge open spaced countries like France, Spain, and Nordic countries
In a get down get funky zombie contagion, the spread would indeed be like a wildfire, roads, motorways, all of the road systems would be off limits, due to traffic jams.
Getting to your loved ones would probably be impossible if you were out of town during the outbreak.
Again as in my previous posts it would come down to luck, getting yourself safe and tooled up (Weapons) would be your priority.
The next step is finding in your immediate area, non zombs.
Working as a team increases the groups survival, but in the groups survival it means more food and water must be found.
The chances are in the first few hours not many would survive the rush.

I'd lock and load, find others of lesser intelligence and or wisdom than myself but whom possessed equivalent firepower and then proceed to impose my will on whoever and whatever I deemed fit.

My first real task would be to amass enough choice-women (preferably feminists of the highest order) in order to stock a worthy harem so as to reward my young conscripts who'd carry out my every whim.

[Murphy]

Depends on what type of zombie we're dealing with really.. but first, I'd get my rosary. Then I would get some plate-armour, though I would try and avoid full plate armour as it simply would be too heavy. I would then take a warhammer or a mace or a morning-star. A blunt weapon would be much better in use again a shambling mass of the dead. Just get laid right into them. Though a short-sword would come in handy for smaller combats, the warhammer or mace would always be my first choice.

I would go and then rescue some fine pretty little lass, find a surviving parish priest, have my self knighted, marry her, start my own kingdom, and then.. well.. I don't know.

So in times of crisis you will become a pimp? :wink sounds like it :coffee:

[Radojica]

Hmm :chin:, yess.... Having Mila Jovovic next to you is the perfect way to survive this :chin:, yes.....

[ikki]

stay at home, fill the bathtube with water and keep my internet diploma of being a reverend close by. Bless the water and with a supersoaker destroy all the zombies that come anywhere close :p

[Praamžius]

Pfffff id pretend to be one of them , raw human meat ain't that bad id survive somehow.I hope....
