what is your zombie attack survival plan???

[LSK]

I am thinking try to get to a sailboat on Lake Michigan and get out on the water. I don't think they can swim. Unfortunately, I cant sail.

What would you do?

[NJmaverick]

1. Zombies can't climb

So rip out the stairs of a two story home and live on the second floor. Keep a ladder for times you need to get down.

[MrScorpio]

52. True... But they can FLOAT! nt

[LynneSin]

2. NAPALM

I keep a healthy does of that stuff in my basement

:hide:

[charlie and algernon]

3. isolated cabin in the woods

far from people where there is always an abundant food source in animals and plants.

[quakerboy]

58. yeah, but what if it

can cross species... A forest full of zombie critters. Ever fought a zombie shrew? Just try and find that sucker before ya get bit. and forget about keeping them out of a Cabin...

[charlie and algernon]

66. well shit, if any critter can get zombified, then we're fucked

even the sams club type stores become nightmares. Try sleeping with zombie rats and mice running around. The best defense would be a convoy of trucks filled with food and an fuel truck and to keep moving.

[leeroysphitz]

4. Load up the van and get above the arctic circle.

The cold won't "kill" zombies but frozen zombies can't bite...

[ghostsofgiants]

18. They're also easy to exterminate when frozen.

[LeftyMom]

5. Go to flvegan's.

He has guns and pit bulls and shit. And if I die he's going to have a very lonely, frustrated apocalypse, so he's gonna be pretty motivated to keep me safe.

[PVnRT]

24. I don't think shit deters zombies

[valerief]

53. Yeah, they're like plumbers. nt

[Critters2]

32. The zombies would attack the pitbulls, turning them into

ZOMBIE PITBULLS!!! Does this really seem like a good idea?

[quakerboy]

57. um....

Zombie pitbulls... Bad news.

[stuntcat]

6. fail :(

I've thought a lot about this. I'm not too fast. I'd be a zombie :headbang:

[Arugula Latte]

7. I'll re-register as a Republican ... If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

[XemaSab]

8. I don't have a plan!

:o

[southpaw]

9. I'll hire Claudio Sanchez to Zombie-proof my compound in the woods...

Well, maybe not. He didn't do such a bang-up job with his own compound.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvH-70bY2C8

[Orrex]

14. The NPR correspondent?

Claudio Sanchez

I had no idea that he moonlighted as a zombie-proofer.

[ghostsofgiants]

17. He meant the singer from Coheed and Cambria.

[southpaw]

21. Right.

I've no knowledge of the NPR guy's zombie-proofing skills!

[madinmaryland]

10. Too many Michiganders there. Need to find somewhere safer.

:hide:

[panhead1961]

11. practice head shots - stock up on ammo

[JTG of the PRB]

54. Remember - a blade never needs reloading.

A nice, long, sturdy, sharp machete... Now THAT'S a zombie killing device!

[SurfingAtWork]

12. Mimic them. They'll never figure out I'm not really one of them!

[PeaceNikki]

13. Here ya go

[The2ndWheel]

15. Come out with a new iPhone every now and then

Better yet, an iBrain.

[bronxiteforever]

16. Duct Tape and Shrink Wrap-

[Bucky]

19. Hijack a bus full of orphans and throw them out the door one at a time as a distraction

Zombies can't resist a yummy orphan snack.

[flvegan]

20. Steal large oceangoing catamaran

find isolated island. I'd tow a smaller outboard to get to and from the ship.

Before leaving, I'd stock up on:

gas;
ammo;
food;
water;
beer;
solar battery rechargers.

I'm ready.

[LSK]

22. yeah pretty much my plan, except I'd have to use Lake Michigan

[ghostsofgiants]

23. I don't have a plan (though I really should)

I'll be keeping a copy of this on hand though:



I'm also waiting for the new zombie apocalypse simulation, Left 4 Dead to come out in November. Should be good for practice.

Your plan is decent, the zombies would just roam the bottom of the lake. If you had SCUBA supplies (and skills) you could dive down and exterminate them.

[PVnRT]

25. Set up my own authoritarian state in the desert

We'll dress up like Raiders fans and steal gas from peaceful settlements.

[SacredCow]

26. I'm going to hand them Chick tracts...

And chide them for playing too much Dungeons and Dragons when they were un-undead.

[Marrah_G]

27. I would swim out to your boat....

Screaming " OMFG, don't shoot me, I'm not a zombie and I can SAIL!"

[LeftinOH]

28. Maybe being zombie isn't such a bad thing --ever consider that?

[Throckmorton]

29. Read the Zombie Survival Guide

They can walk under water and climb up you anchor line.

Also, World War Z is a good reference too.

[ghostsofgiants]

30. If memory serves me correctly, zombies can't climb.

They don't have the capacity for such coordinated efforts as hand-over-hand climbing.

[benEzra]

38. But they can sometimes float...

:scared:

[Connonym]

44. WW Z inspired my plan

Move to Israel where they've had the foresight to build a wall. Them danged Zombies can walk on the bottom of the water but they can't climb a wall.

[Initech]

31. I plan to get a big projection screen with "Dancing With The Stars" playing 24/7

Then I escape out the back and fly to the Caribbean.

[davsand]

33. Go to the Winchester.

We always go there.


:evilgrin:


Laura

[XemaSab]

34. Go to John Edwards' house

:popcorn:

[Pierre.Suave]

35. Sail to Madeline Island in Lake Superior

With everyone important to me, we would go live in my parents cabin on the island.

Exterminate any potential zombies, and then sit back and enjoy my peace and quiet.

I can fish and hunt, and grow a garden, and live in the cabin and sail around the lake to other islands when I need to hunt or fish etc...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

61. Is this your place?

If so, I'm there, zombies or no zombies.

I took this picture a few weeks ago from a 46' Morgan ketch. Fun trip.

[Pierre.Suave]

62. No thats not it

Our place is on the northeast end on that point, up on a bluff. Looking at that pic, it looks like one of the cottages on the south end of the island.

Did that ketch come out of the MIYC? If so I may know the owners.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

63. Yes, it was on the south side.

The ketch is based at Washburn, not the island. You really ought to look into http://www.nlsc.org -- that's how I got to go on that trip.

[Pierre.Suave]

65. I have had that link in my favorites

since you gave it to me last time, lol...

It looks like fun. I really would give it more thought, but with school starting on Monday, I wont be having much time for that this year. next summer I plan on spending AT the cabin sailing everyday if possible because it will be my last summer for a long time.

[MadrasT]

36. Disguise myself

as a giant cockroach. :rofl:

[jobycom]

47. I was thinking carrot. They don't seem to eat veggies.

[MadrasT]

50. Carrot!

[SOteric]

37. Stand next to a smarty pants.

By the time they finish that tasty little brain snack, they'll be too full to be interested my little hors d'Oeurvre. :P

[av8rdave]

39. Lots of popcorn and watching Sean of the Dead over and over

[Kutjara]

40. Continue to live among them, just like I'm doing now.

Wait...you don't mean to tell me the people I see out on the streets every day AREN'T zombies?!?

[lazyriver]

41. GW Bush mask...they won't attack their leader.

[jobycom]

46. Come on, they are zombies, but even they aren't stupid enough to follow Bush. nt

[MilesColtrane]

42. My Mossberg 500 and thousands of shells.

I'd keep one in my pocket for myself.
I don't wanna be no zombie.

[billyoc]

43. Same as my shark attack plan. I don't have to swim faster than the sharks,

I just have to swim faster than you. :hi:

[jobycom]

45. Head to lizziegrace's deserted island and destroy the zombie cabana boy.

That way I only have to watch one person suspiciously.

[lizziegrace]

60. ...

:rofl:

[FloridaJudy]

48. 1000 milligrams of Demerol.

The same as for a nuclear war. Who the hell wants to survive that? That ain't living.

[Q3JR4]

49. If I had food and guns,

I'd walk the four blocks to a four story building I have 24 access to and trigger the fire alarm, which would seal up and automatically lock all the doors leading into and out of the stair wells (you can get into the stairwell, but once you're there you can't get out--except through the doors on the first floor--without a key). The alarm would put the elevators on the first floors, but it would also cause fake walls to fall into place over the elevators. Perhaps dumb zombies wouldn't know any better.
After the alarm had ran it's course, I'd recall the elevators to the fourth floor and wedge them open so they wouldn't go anywhere.

I'd hold up on the fourth floor (with the stairwells and elevators locked) and move back through two sets of locking doors into the back of a lab. There I'd hold up for as long as I could looking out through tinted windows and waiting for rescue.

Q3JR4.
Has thought about this a lot. :P

[Xipe Totec]

51. Join them nt

[JTG of the PRB]

55. I'll gather the supplies I can...

...and take my family and friends up to the ranch one of my friends lives on. Lost of hills, rocks, some rugged terrain, not to mention plenty of space and good watch points to see those shuffling bastards coming from miles away. The land is good enough to grow crops on, there's plenty of raw materials to build a large fence, and it's in the hills, so deer and the like will be around, at least for a while.

Gotta save up lots of bottled water, canned food, vitamins, gasoline, batteries, matches, and plenty of guns, ammo, and sharp weapons. Develop a watch system that rotates every 6-8 hours, give everyone assigned chores and duties to keep everything running smoothly, and try to survive long enough for what remains of the government to come and find us.

I haven;t thought about this much, I swear. :hide:

[datasuspect]

56. the first 24 hours would be complete bedlam

trying to get out of the near north side of chicago in any direction via automobile would be a death trap.

i'd probably get to a police district command center where LEOs would normally assemble and be more or less a refugee.

hopefully they would align with military elements and conduct airlifts from the city to nearby forts and airbases.

there might be a semblance of safety there, but at least the police and military would be in the emergency management chain of command. hopefully they would not be overwhelmed due to massive firepower.

this being said, i would do whatever was in my power to gain access to a firearm and try to stay with large numbers of armed people who can still perform under siege conditions.

if communication with federal authorities were still possible, an executive order might be put in place either deputizing or mobilizing civilian populations, this potentially could ease weapons restrictions.

if the semblance of governmental order could be maintained, there might be a good possibility of survival. for at least a few months until the social order collapses and the police and military structures disband into kinship/shared interest groups. by then, any diplomatic person with a shred of skill could engineer a useful position for themself.

[quakerboy]

59. The answers are very dependant

on the situation.

Are these malevolent zombies, seeking to kill or assimilate others, or relatively inanimate zombies who only attack those who come near?

Are we following regular biologic rules, or have these been bypassed somehow(eg virus zombies or voodoo zombies)?

Are the zombies hungry, angry, or other? Are they individuals only working as a mob, a hive with general rules and communication, or centrally controlled? Are they intelligent?

Is the Zombieism transmissible? If so, how, how fast, and can it jump species?

Do the Zombies follow physical rules? Eg, do they have a nervous system that can be destroyed, thus killing or ending them? Do they have superhuman abilities(obviously altered by death, but only as strong and able as their component physical matter, or not)? Do they have to breathe and eat to replenish tissues

Do the zombies have a shelf life? Do they have any particular weaknesses? Any (un)natural enemies?


But all that aside, I am much more worried about the consequent dilemma's of being somehow transported back in time.
