Actually, if you do a bit of research, people have put together some pretty extensive zombie disaster plans.
Me? I’m going to gather up all the essentials (some clothing, water, etc), grab my rifle, and get to the nearest Walmart/Homedepot type place I can.
The important part about the place you hold up is this:
1) Space
2) Accessible Roof
3) Defendable/Blockable Entrances
Because once you and your loved ones get there, you board the place up like nobodies business, and then concrete the walls in. Once’s that’d done you get people on watch duties and trained how to use weapons. After that, the rest of the group goes into the garden center and pulls out all the stupid “pretty” flowers and starts planting food stock growth — everyone is now a vegitarian, tough luck.
The food in the store should last you long enough to get a crop going and then you can collect rainwater from the roof to drink. (Build barrels etc) Human waste will be used in fertilizer along with everything else disposable. It’s recycling to the max.
…
No, I haven’t read up on this too much. I’m just prepared!
Jeff, sometimes I wonder if you are real or if you are the robot created by the HelpBot.
i have done a lot of research into zombiesm, i have read the zombie survival guide. your choice is not as good as you may think, such places often have large windows that can easilly be broken through. I am going to go to an abandoned hospital that is near my house, my friends and i have already aranged to meet there in the event of a zombie outbreak, it has a wall around it and multiple stories, (one of the top ten rules of survival is “get up the stairs then destroy them”) it is easily defendable and on top of a hill. we plan on raiding the sorounding areas for food and other such supplies.
like I said keep your guns
This account has been deactivated.
over the hills and thru the woods, to my godfathers house i go. he has a survivalist camp fully stocked (somewhere) with enough weapons and previsions to last 40 people 20 years. he even has medical equipment there. the funny thing is, he is not nutso or anything. he worked closely, but seperately, with military intelligence for several years. when he resigned his position, he took his life savings and built this retreat. makes you wonder what he knows.
Some of them…
Note: already adept at holding off zombies
…wouldn’t be so bad.
At a hospital you’ll get stuck and run out of food. The average human can last 1-2 weeks without food.
I’m going to go to a Hostess Factory. The food will sustain me and it contains enough preservatives to last a lifetime.
Lol, you’d die of vitamin and protein deficiency. Not a bad way to die though — deliciously. :)
The idea isn’t to stay put in the hospital, but rather to remain mobile, raiding for food, growing our own on the roof after a time, maybe eventually becoming self sufficient
But once the zombies catch your smell they’ll surround the building completely — how will you do raids?
by that point we will have stockpiled enough food to last a short seige, we will pick them off one by one till none remain (this tactic would be similar to “pulling” an enemy in a video game)
I would grab my shotgun, put together my AR 15, raid the nearest ammo store, and drive to wyoming, and camp out with my gun-nut uncle. I’d be fine.
The world could end, and as long as the blast didnt reach Wapiti WY, my uncle could survive the rest of his life solo.
Oh, and in case your wondering what I would do for transportation, theres a hummer store across the street from me with a classic army model that I’ve been eyeing since I moved in there.
cars are bad, they attract zombies, they are extremely loud. AR’s are not as effective as one might think, nor is a shotgun actually, the ideal weapon would be a semi automatic carbine firing a single acurate round. keep in mind that zombies feel no pain and that traditional weapons are designed for killing human beings.
Bruce, you’re relying on the notion that, basically, you’ll have enough ammo, stamina and luck in finding food stuffs to hold out.
MY plan, on the other hand, only relies on repelling the dumbest attacking force in world from behind fortified walls. I hope you look good drooling and moaning.
(An AR is a carbine…)
Yeah, and keep in mind, I have a back roads route, with about 2 city miles to get to my uncle, where I encounter about 4 low tech, low pop towns. And Yeah, AR15s arent as effective, but acurate as hell. And yeah, shotguns arent accurate, but close up, a zombie wont have a face to feed itself with. And the humvee my friend, would make its own trail around, or through the zombies. Remember, theoretically they are slow, and dumb. A humvee can make a few speedbumps a minor problem, not to mention you can inflate the tires from within the vehicle.
And yes, an AR15 is a carbine.
Exactly, I’d trade the armor and speed of a car for the extra attention is delivers. Especially in the scenario where zombies are dumb AND slow.
Yeah, and if you know how to get to WY from Cali the way I do, youre not gonna run into many groupings of Zeds, save for the two miles it takes to get out of my town.
Not that I’ve planned for a zombie attack, but I am “Red Dawn” ready.
yeah my mistake about the AR but concider this: once your car runs out of gas you’ve just alerted every zombie in a few mile radias f your location, and you are now stuck on fot with all your gear
get on a bicycle, ditch the car
I am taking back interstates with trucking gas stops littered along the way. Minimal resistance in these places. They are literally a flying J and a McDs.
A bike and my stamina vs. a full tank of gas in a car? I guarantee you the car will win, not to mention that if I’m out gunning the zombies in my ride and I make it somewhere remote, there probably aren’t any Z’s around anyway when it dies.
This reply has been removed.
Oh, and dont forget, most army Humvees run on either Deisel OR Gasoline. Like I said, my uncle and I have a plan, just in case. Yeah, he is a conservative nutball, and he tries like hell to turn me into one, but I know every mile of how to get to his house, safely and soundly, about 5 different ways.
In any case, that would be my main goal. Get to my uncles house, and of course pick up Chuy on the way.
Btw . . . best post ever.
the bike is silent, the idea is to survive not to fight, stealth is key
Now, if I could, I would get my hands on a Deuce-and-a-half, that would get me over any pile of zombies, and down any cliff. But, theres the WY freak coming out in me.
yeah i’ve been wanting to post this one for a while now, i love thinking about zombies… they consume me (that’s a little zombie pun for you to enjoy)
Go google this:
Exanimus
You’ll love it
and i have read the zombie survival guide, my friend is giving me world war z as soon as he’s done with it
Yeah, I cant wait for them to release it. Oh, and for your right wing viewing pleasure:
Jeff, are you still holding on this statement:
“No, I haven’t read up on this too much. I’m just prepared!”
Yup. I only ever read one survival guide. The rest just comes from my thinking skills and watching zombie movies in passing, like resident evil, etc.
zombie movies are not a good frame of reference except maybe the original “dawn of the dead” on exactly what not to do in the event of a zombie outbreak
That brings up a good question. Would zombies be slow moving, or fast moving?
Dead Rising, video game, followed the premise above outlined. There was a movie before it too, called something like “Rise of the Dead” I think.
See, my theory would be at first, regular speed, but as rigirmortis sets in, the slower they are.
but it doesn’t matter how slow they are, they are tenacious and never get tired, ever
Yes it does, cause if the guy who ran the 100 meter dash was behind you, youd be dead in the water on your piddly bike my man!
well you see the issue there is one of zombie biology (note: i use “the zombie survuval guide as the definative work on zombie cannon) zombies decay slowly taking aprox 5 years to do so, longer if frozen) they are also limited by their lack of fine motor skills, they are incapable of sprinting or running. also they never heal so when muscles tear (as muscles do when used) they don’t heal making them progressively weaker and less apt to movement.
Do only men have a plan here. lol. I dont see any female replies. this is hilarious. I have never thought of this before, and now I think I need to come up with a plan. I dont want to be left unprepared by golly!
Women are, of course, prepared to run away from zombies, look back, trip, fall down, and get eaten. That’s what movies teach me anyway.
Good point. You seem to have put a lot of thought into this.
*leans over* *whispers* freak *leans back*
Haha, just kidding. I took a quiz once, and answered the most cold blooded answers I could think of, when it came to fellow survivers, and such.
I would have survived 1 year.
lol, true. it is up to us, the male survivors to ensure that we keep both genders alive and procreating.
(kuwabara, i added you to my friends list)
Well, if you’d seen the news, scientists can now allow women to asexually reproduce by producing sperm from their bone marrow, if I recall correctly. So technically, men are now not quite as useful.
one thing though. what is so frieghtening about zombies? there greatest strenthi sthey don’t stop, unless you cut their head off. every other trait they have is a weakness. I think if they started to pop up everywhere, they would be more of a nusaince than a threat. your takeing the garbage out and suddenly you see a zombie slowly walking toward you. you calmly go in the garage, get your chainsaw, cut their head off, clean up, and apologize to the neighbors for the noise “sorry for the ruckus Fred, had me one of them **** zombies on my front lawn”
now, on the other hand, what about carnivorous rabbits????
Holy hand grenades will take care of them quite quickly if you just count to 3. Or on 3. Or soemthing…
but they MULTIPLY. and they are so adorable, awww
Hand grenades are ineffective against zombies, the odds that a peice of shrapenel will peirce the brain are low. as long as the brain is alive the zombie can still bite you/ attack you
A nice batch of napalm would work well if they can’t heal. Burn the muscle and they end up immobile mawing jaws. Not such a big deal ;D
carnivorous rabbits???? this is a real threat!
Yeah, but Bruce, you gotta think crowd control. A nice nade in front of a group of advancing zeds, is gonna give you quite a bit more time then with a gun alone, unless of course that gun was a mini-mag. Then, you just point and click, kind of like taking down that 100 sq. feet of forest in preadator.
Anyways, added you to friends Bruce, but that doesnt mean I am gonna have room for you in the vee, but you make it to Wyoming, you got a place to hole up!
Also, AK, youre not taking into the factor sheer nubmers. If a zombie outbreak were to occur, it wouldn’t be thought a zombie problem until it was a threat of epic proportions, already out of control. Notice in most zombie movies, cities are overrun, overnight. Imagine you are the lone poor SOB that was sleeping in your basement, and you come out to find the whole of LA wanting your warm meaty flesh. Regardless of how fast/slow they are, and their weakness, that many mindless, tireless, hungry mouths is gonna be hard to overcome, no matter how well stocked you are.
Although I like the “******* zed on my front lawn” thing, not many people would think as calmly as you, not to mention not many people would believe it was really a zed until too late. And that’s the problem. 99% of the population would either a)not believe it, and fall prey due to unpreparedness b) would be too mentally weak to deal with the trauma of seeing their mother/daughter/son/father trying to eat them, and c) would be too ill prepared to deal with a mass spreading infectious disease. Remeber, to be bitten, is not the only metod of contagion. Blood in water, sexually transmitted, etc. It’s more of a problem than you think.
Not to squash your reply, but, hey, gotta be ready. Right? lol
I have seen many things, it is very hard to startle me. drink only bottled water, always. and trust nothing. and did you see what i said earlier about going to my godfathers. my first reply?
P.S. i will do many things, but have sex with a zombie is pretty low on the list. ha ha
Hey Chuy,
Were those people with baskets lined up at Costco preparing for a zombie invasion or was that you & your family?!!!! lol……
I want to be Vampirella and so…….
hmmm…I think I would had for an Island if at all possible. If I was still in Texas maybe galveston or South Padre. Hopefully we can destroy the bridges to the island after crossing. Either that, or maybe get to a big boat or yaht or something and head out to sea. Can zombies swim/live under water?
Don’t they turn into bats & fly?
that would be awesome…myabe I’ll just opt for becoming a zombie myself
Yes me too….I said I want to be Vampirella….the female zombie & rule…lol..
Bruce…
Your thought on a hand grenade is slightly skewed.
The standard issue hand grenade has a kill radius of 5m.
youve got 15ft of flame, metal, exc, that will, if not damage the brain case, blow the zombies in said radius back to hell.
image, if you will, tiny zombie bits raining from the skys…
sounds rather entertaining.
Someone asked what the danger of zombies are if they are so weak and slow… well to answer the question, its the shear futility of it. Like getting swarmed by 5000 toddlers.
But there is one thing I don’t get about the zombie semantics… They eat you, then you turn into one… but how do you turn into one if they have eaten you? Also the life span of zombies sounds pretty long unless they can continue to eat for the entire 5 years, and supposedly the human population sharply declines as the zombie population increases over a period of a month or less.

I believe that George Romero, the guy that invented the modern zombie, said that it is not the actual zombie’s abilities that strike fear into your heart, it is being able to look them in the eyes as they slowly lumber towards you, never stopping. Of course I am paraphraseing but that was the general idea. As for what I would do, if it were to hypthetically happen tomorrow, I would probably be like “Oh, ****” and thats about it. Living on long island, new york, in suburbia my choices are rather limited. If say I had enough warning that this was going to happen I would plot a course for an island that isn’t inhabited and make it a defensive position, I am gifted in the art of fortification, and wait it out. Otherwise I don’t know what i would do, such a bleeding high population concentration where I live, and only one way off the island by land which is to go through a city.
Well, considering that zombies are too dumb to swim, I’d do what I could to get a houseboat, then just drop anchor in a lake somewhere. I’d fish for food, and since i’d be in a lake (freshwater) I’d have all the drinking water i’d need.
Having an M-24 wouldn’t be too bad either. ;)
Oh, and I agree with kuwabara. Best post ever!
5 years?!?! Well ok fine five years. Me and the husband with our Samurai swords, spears, collectors swords,small sharpened blades, you get the idea and a handful of household appliances. We would stay on our third floor flat scavaging out only at night when zombie vision is bad. Mainframe communication a must… at all costs there must be broadband. Food and necessities: we’d keep indoor plants for food, we’d collect medical equipment and medicines, I’d stock up on prop explosives for the worst case scenario of scarin em off. We’d put sharp spikes on the windows fashioned from kitchen items. We’d train the dogs to sniff and point out the zombies on night missions. The dogs would also provide a source of food in dire situations (look no one said surivival was animal friendly). If we were lucky, quick, sneaky, clever, and were well armed with the ability to remove or destroy the brain we’d be set. We’d set up a small band of quit witted sneaky types to weave in and out of the zombies undetected. I know there are flaws in my plan BUT its still a plan.
Every army needs skirmishers.
sarahmonster invited 1 user to read this post 2 years, 6 months ago.
my army consist of the soulless (lawters) and the mindless (doctors) so, your zombies will fall, and useing the infrastructure you have worked so hard to put in place, i will turn the earth into my platform for the take over of the universe. bwa ha ha ha ha
wait, what…if you choose to fight dirty, then i shall make Heather my official hostage negotiator
little known fact: zombies are great poker players, and have held tournamounts that have lasted right up until a players hand has fallen off. they also enjoy clockmaking, and oddly enough, producing reality television shows.
and because of the massive amount of decay, not to mention their love for compustion engines, the zombies would contribute to global warming.
New Zealand will remain un affected in the event of zombie takeover.
now, with my plan, I promise an end to greenhouse gases and high taxes. I will also implement a time out period for anyone causing trouble, and a standardized “corner” module, to be placed in every home, for those really annoying peeps.
the sky will darken with my wrath!!! watch out!!! run and flee, you pathetic weaklings.
bow down to me, or suffer the fate worse than DEATH!!!
Sanjaya..the zombie warlord.
( wish i knew how to post a picture)
So, destroy or remove the brain, huh? They’re pretty rotten, right? I have nunchaku. Bring on the zombies.
Zombie plan??? I have no plan!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Akslogistics, can I come with you to your godfather’s safe house in the woods?
This is a really creepy post by the way!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rT90ke…
Here’s a plan that no-one has mentioned yet. It also works for vampires and wearwolves. Join them. Life can’t be all that bad as a zombie.
I’m already one so I’ll join them and eat you all!

this reminds me of the movie shawn of the dead
i got a little scared only because i had to walk home after the movie was finished and it was 11 at night
Lol, it would be fun watching you get ripped to shreads :p . Whenever I see a zombie movie I always ask myself “Don’t they have zombie movies in the movieverse? I mean honestly.”
Lol, I’ll get the popcorn and a lawn chair to watch the show.
we could have front row seats!! save a spot for me.
wouldn’t it be great to have an enemy that we are sure is an enemy. blow em away, and no guilty aftertaste. I could dig it, it would be like a real life video game.
and, kitten, i can only take one person with me to “hardplace” (my godfathers name for it) so i am waiting to see who makes the highest bid.
Your making me want to go back and play diablo II and kill a bunch of zombies and undead, and demons and such.
Wow! One person only! Okay, well I better start coming up with a good plan, or saving my pennies!
Hopefully I am somewhere close to you and just tag along….I’m such a goner.
Allie, let’s join forces!!! How much money do you have? Maybe we can build our own safe house!!!
It’s a deal kittenface71 !!!!
I wont be alone…you rock.
Betta:
“Your making me want to go back and play diablo II and kill a bunch of zombies and undead, and demons and such.”
Haha, I’ve spent just about all day today playing diablo II. Every once in a while i just get hooked on it again.
Yeah, I know the feeling. That game is soo addicting.
You know what I notice? Everyone says they will go to a supermarket or walmart type place, right? But wouldn’t that mean that alot of people are going to be there and that means zombies would be there? … Wow, I am thinking way to into this :p
You’re right…lot’s of people would be there. I think I will stash like 5 years worth of MRE’s in my house. Just in case of a zombie attack.
Oh la la, did someone say diablo, to bad I can’t play that on my Vista….booo!
This account has been deactivated.
I still say I’m attacking the zombies with my collection of martial arts weaponry. Who wants to be my camera-person while I take them on with poles of various lengths, nunchaku, and my sensei’s antique katana?
Redstar if you get a tank,I going with you man lol.
You’re funny,we need that in a leader.lol
ok, ive read and caught up n this post.
First: zombies cannot be controlled by anyone ever. there have been recorded incidents of people tring only to be latter consumed by the very zombies they were attempting to control.
Second: Scaring a zombie off is impossible, zombies feel no fear that is why they are so darn terrifying
Third: people are still thinking of zombies as humans,you must not be fooled to fight a zombie as one would a human is wrong, nunchucks and bo staffs and baseball bats and things to that affect are useless against any more than one or two zombies.
Fourth: zombies don’t need oxygen therefore they can go underwater, therefore they don’t even need to swim they can simply go under the water and walk on the bottom.
Fifth: the military is probably your best bet if you live near a base go for it, the wallmart and other such stores are stil bad ideas because they are going to be overrun by other human beings as well as zombies.
(source for this information in general comes from “The Zombie Survival Guide”
Dude. Zombies are pretty clumsy, right? I can take them on.
Well, I’ll find a doorway. One at a time I can take quite a few zombies.
Or I could just go Neo on them. Like that fight scene at the beginning of Matrix 2? That would be hella sweet.
Yeah, except sooner or later said Zombies will come through the door 2 by 2, or find a way in behind you and rip the back of your head of.
Staying stationary is futile. Unless of course you have Blain (Jesse Ventura) and his gun (Minigun)from “Predator” standing next to, or in front of you. In which case, the zombies have no chance. That’s literally a wall of lead.
Another right wing savory bit . . .
[Wiki:Minigun}
I want one.
But seriously, I would just stand in a public place beating the **** out of zombies while everyone else ran away if there was really a zombie attack. I wanna do my part.
Yeah, and how long would you be able to “beat the crap” outta 1 million zombies, remember, YOU need sleep, and rest. THEY do not. YOU have to stop at some point. THEY don’t.
Oh, I would die. But I would look really sexy doing it. Or at least charmingly overwhelmed.
Miniguns use too much ammo. you’re better off carrying a semi auto rather than a full auto
Well, if the only way to kill a zombie is to get at the brain, why wouldn’t a baseball bat work in smashing their heads?
That would have to be one hell of a swing to destroy someone brain. also bats brake
Use nunchaku, as I said. They’re the most effective bonebreaker in terms of non-mechanical weaponry.
but how many good swings can you get off on multiple opponents?
Hatchets are light-weight, and can crack a skull open like a coconut. They don’t often break, and you could wield one in each hand.
Right about the zombies not getting scared… bollucks :) Fair enough they don’t feel fear and you can’t deter them away by firing off warning shots BUT Zombies dont like light or big flashes of light. Altho they can eventually LEARN to deal with the light initially it will bother them. So tactics used in moderation to catch them off guard by lighting a fire or setting of a cherry bomb (flash on a camera, basic prop pyros, a strobe light etc). So yes I can agree that in general as a full army they will not respond to scare tactics… as a skirmisher it will be a very useful diversion tool.
I forgot to mention trapping! Zombie pits and cages might be an ideal way to keep them at bay and unable to infect others.
In the game of zombie take over its always best to be pro-active. You start being all defensive and boarding up your house or huddling low and they’ll come in droves cos lets face it there are a lot of humans!! And for none of them to die in 5 years is a LOT of zombies to deal with.
They won’t understand the logic in small calculated attacks as their prime objective is to feed on living flesh. And the best way for them to do that is in packs like dogs. I still think stealthy tactics will work. As long as there is no central location for the living beings to congregate the zombies will HAVE to hunt in smaller “packs” thus making it easier for us to trap or destroy them.
But thats the thing. Zombies still have a minimum of residual memory. Hence their gathering at places such as malls, hospitals, etc. Their, albiet horribly small, but still existing residual memory draws them to places they went the most when they were alive. A quote from the original “Dawn of The Dead”;
————————————————————————— —–
Francine Parker: They’re still here.
Stephen: They’re after us. They know we’re still in here.
Peter: They’re after the place. They don’t know why, they just remember. Remember that they want to be in here.
Emphasis on Peter’s line. They will gather, and they will congregate. They will overwhlem you. One way or another. And stealth only works until you make a noise.
Actually, you can get off quite a few swings really fast. Try moving your wrist up and down repeatedly. It doesn’t get you tired, and you can repeat it as long as you want. That’s about the amount of effort it takes to break a bone. The only hard part is recovering after you make contact, which I’m still working on, it totally messes up your pattern. But once I have that down, I’ll be golden.
Actually a fullscale zombie outbreak (apocoliptic) would last anywhere between 15-20 years because new zobies are being made all the time.
Actally Kuwabara that is a myth, zombies have no residual memory; if they appear to be congragating in one place it is because they are aware of a human presence in that place.
Sarah: zombies do not hunt in “packs” as that implies some sort of structure, any gathering of zombies is purely coincidental and probably has something to do with them seeking the same prey. tactically zombie traps are a good idea as lng as you remember to kill the zombie inside. the light idea may distract the zombie for a moment but most zombies do not rely on their eyes so much as they relly on their other senses. A blinding flash therefore, may do more harm than good in that you run the risk of blinding yourself and alerting more zombies to your presence.
Hey Bruce, how do you know so much about zombies….?
Hm. Well obviously the flash of light and other bomb-like scare tactics would be used to harm THEM and not myself with every precaution taken to use it in the cleverest and safest way possible (think of the original Dawn of the Dead.. in small numbers they are unable to combat light/bonfires/large flashes of light etc). For instance. In order to give them the SLIP… one could plant some kind of trip wire explosive thus catching the attention of all the zombies momentarily. It’s the art of diversion tho… smoke and mirrors :D Ok. I think alerting the zombies to the area (definitely not my presence due to the fact that I have simply disappeared in my cunning plan) could potentially be brilliant in catching or destroying them.
And about the pack theory. Argh. Semantics… FINE they dont actually all go around hunting together on PURPOSE but as a consequence of who they are and what they want they will inevitably all be hunting together… LIKE a pack of dogs. I was trying to point this out as a potential weakness to exploit. Other senses to exploit. Smell. Freshly butchered household pet… recently deceased non-zombified human. Touch and Taste- encouraging the zombies to congregate in one place that is smeared with warm blood of freshly slaughtered animal/fish. Sound. They can be effectively manipulated with the use of audio equipment. Every sense they rely on can be tricked. They are slow and dumb and easily fooled. Theoretically, with enough careful planning it should be relatively easy to come up with a long-term plan of zombie destruction.
Baiting them might also work. In order to trap a “large” number at a time… (we’re talking large packs of up to 10) live bait might be necessary… so animals would be really useful in that situation. (We could also breed domestic animals especially rabbits… who could potentially survive on rubbish/plants or other dead animals).
But of course the zombies biggest weakness is that they are slow moving. In protective clothing, armed with shivs, knives, swords, and other bladed weapons one could lead them into a trap, round them up. or just slaughter them depending on how much energy the non-zombie had.
if you are using dawn of he dead as a reference tool then you should remember that zombies in that situation don’t want animals only humans (remember the bit wih the dog and the sandwich)
Kittin face i read a lot about them
well it will have to be human bait then …
Bruce is a zombie!!!!!!!!!!!!! run!!!!!!!!!!!!
According to my video games the best weapon against the undead is a club or a mace. Of course those are set in a time when there were not guns. I don’t know too much about guns, but I know that some calibers will tend to go through and through, and some will actually knock you back. I think a good shot gun that would blow someone’s head clean off would be best.
Bruce, you gotta explain to me something. If a zombie rips my head off or tears me limb from limb, how do I then become one? It sounds like they are pretty deadly, but how is there always enough of the eaten left over that they can be reanimated as zombies?
Well spotted Betta… I reckon that the zombies forget after a while that they are feeding. Perhaps they have short attention spans? Which again is why my plans of attack seem good cos zombies don’t spend long thinking about stuff and just going for the nearest living flesh. Which is why even tho some zombie films do not depict zombies eating animals… don’t see why they wouldnt. I could see that they might not eat fish or reptiles with cold blood. Maybe they can’t detect it unless its warm. (Kinda like a python detecting a pulse)
I suppose that will have to do for now. The other thing is this question of whether zombies hunt in packs. A zombie doesn’t hunt or stalk. It just sees and smells what it wants and moves for it. They don’t make strategies. They don’t decide to be in small packs or large packs. I think you would be likely to find them in huge droves, as they would all be moving towards the same target: You!
I think all they do is eat your brains, but…
Huge droves, huh? Ah, so the weapon of choice is clearly homemade bombs. In that case, a huge warehouse/whatever would obviously be the best place to hole up, because you can just build and then chuck exploding things at them till they’re all gone.
Dont forget, that Zombies rely on all senses equally, unlike humans. This does not mean their senses are “higher” than ours, but that they do make better use of them. For example a sound that you might hear, and not pay attention to subconciously, a zed would hear, and investigate. They are attracted to sound.
Betta: If you are ripped limb from limb, and die, you don’t necessarily turn into a zombie. Zombie-ism is derived from a virus, that begins it’s attack on your brain. Therefore, if you are too dismembered, the virus cannot reach the brain, and therefore cannot reanimate you. Although, say three zeds open your stomach while youre alive and feed, then are distracted and leave. Youre passed out, the virus then takes its hold on your body, and you get up, and walk around. In other words, there ISNT always enough left over for reanimation.
As for the “huge drove” theory, zombies are all attracted by the same things. Sounds, smell, warm fresh meat. Theyre gonna all go after the same thing. Therefore they will eventually seem to hunt in packs, when in reality they all “fed at the same resturant, heard about the new place to eat, and all want to try the new cuisine”/
But bombs still work, right?
Yes and no. Theyre gonna knock the zombies back, and down, and might take out a few, but a zombie without legs will crawl to you, a zombie without arms will bite whatever comes near it. You absolutley positively MUST destroy the brain of a zombie. Even a zombies head can continue to try and feed. The brain itself must be destroyed. No ifs ands or buts. SO, a bomb is effective in buying you time, and taking out one or two zombies, with luck. But a pipe bomb thrown at the feet of 5-10 advancing zombies, is gonna knock em down, but not put them out.
I was just figuring if you blew a few limbs off, it would be pretty easy to just walk around with shotguns finishing them off with blasts to the head.
Yeah, but the sound would attract more zeds, though a good idea, just not pratical unless youre in a pinch.

I hope that when this crazy world does end, that it ends with a zombie outbreak. I want to see just how good we really all do. Plus it woud be a heck of a lot more exciting than just getting nuclear weapons dropped on us.
That would be awesome.
Are zombies intelligent enough to operate machinery/vehicles? Because if not, I’m flying with some chick (or chicks, hubba hubba) to an uninfected island and repopulating the planet singlehandedly.
Okay, but there are two options here:
1) fighting zombies
2) having crazy red hot sex on the beach with a ton of babes
Which do YOU prefer?
it’s almost what we need…If you had the “Zombie virus” to start it all off would you? ALl you would have to do is inject it into a dead person and then run…run like hell.
I wouldn’t. There’s enough death and destruction in the world already.
Godless Heathen, wouldn’t your plan of singlehandedly repopulating the earth cause a genetic bottleneck? Also, I have to say that I would prefer nukes, easier to stay alive after them.
Oh yeah, crap bill. You bringing me down!
I guess I’ll have to share….
Sorry to make you share mate, nothing personal. Just looking out for humanity ;) But hey, I would be willing to help ya :p
Haha, I’m sure you would.
godless coould you not have both? bust up a few zombies to get to the boat you airpane. have an adventure
Good point. So first you save your babes from zombies, then you fight your way to the airport with them, then you fly off with them to get laid till you die of exhaustion.
So whos gonna fly the plane? Where are you going to land? And if your dying from exhaustion your not helping humanity! :p
thats why i sy we get a boat its easier to drive. lol. get a motor one obviously and loads of provisions innit. lol. plus if you find somewhere good you could build houses n stuff but you would need a lot of people and you would only want the strongest n most intelligent n best looking. and of course everyone off help. to join you on the island so the next race is amazingly cool.
Wow, those zombies are persistent, kind of inspirational. He gets knocked down but he gets up again, la-la la-la la-la Laaaa. I don’t know the rest of the words.
OK. so i have asked myself the question of how new zombies are created when they are being consumed by other zombies many times and have come up with the following: when a zombie bites its prey (or bleeds on it or anything like that) that prey immediately becomes infected, within a 24 hour period that person is going to die and going to become a zombie, barring a bullet to the head or otherwise destroying the brain this is 100% true 100% of the time. Now you have five hours before you begin to feel the symptoms of the virus taking affect, in that time you can still run away or fight or whatnot. now concider this: when you are biten isn’t it your natural reaction to start running? also: how often do you meet someone who can actually tear you limb from limb? zombies are limited by the strength of their host and would, therefore, have a hard time of actually ripping a person to shreds, maybe multiple zombies could perform the task but once you are no longer a warm body they lose interest (for that reason zombies don’t eat other zombies).
The desert island plan has merit but what do you plan to do for supplies? what about shelter? and don’t say you will bring enough provisions to last you because that will mean that you have had time already to prepare yourself and stockpile beforehand. Additionally: what are you going to do about fuel? What if the world returns to normal and leaves you behind? your plan hinges on people keeping a cool head in the event of an outbreak which we all know they wont do.
My plan was a sailboat, a stiff weatherly vessel. I know how to survive in the wilderness/ hostile enviornments. Given that I find a good place to moor the vessel I would be set.
But would you really be willing to live on a sailboat for so long? also remember the zombies don’t have to kill you, harsh environment and starvation are just as effective
