It's the (hypothetical) zombie apocalypse....

What's your escape plan?

With Halloween around the corner I thought it would be fun/terrifying to discuss how you'd plan to escape the walking dead!

Me I'm raiding the canned goods and going to work, it's got a big, lockable, high fenced compound plus we sell axes.....

If town is badly affected:

* Lock up and board up present location.
* Attempt to contact loved ones and friends, find out who is still kicking.
* Scour internet for reports, postings, etc of locations that appear to be less effected.
* Communicate info to loved ones and/or friends.
* Set phone on silence and charge.
* Dig out black or dark backpack, use black tape to cover any light colored or reflective elements. Do same for footwear or anything else necessary.
* Pack up non-perishables, water, basic first aid, knife sharpener, lighter and map.
* Find and dress in black clothing.
* Grab dagger, throwing knife, and Mace. (Note to self, buy sword before apocalypse then grab that too.)
* Wait until nightfall.
* Grab phone, fully charged.
* Affirm meeting place with loved ones and/or friends in a likely safe zone, but travel alone for time being to maximize lack of detection.
* Put max silence skills to use to escape from the area.


If town is not badly affected:

* Attempt to contact loved ones and friends.
* Invite over or go to whoever's house is safest.
* Make sure people are brining snacks and movies.
* Lock/board up and ride it out until zombies somehow parish.

Got a Katana and the freezer is full of bacon. Internet decrees that I'll be fine.

I would make sure I have all my figures and comics to keep me company. I would dress like a ninja. Run around taking food and surviving. Killing any zombies that come my way. Basically, video game style.

My plan:

Gather the essentials- hatchet, long sword or katana, canteen, mess kit, canned meat, dried beans and rice, crowbar, Bowie knife, and roll of sturdy twine. Also a couple of books on edible plants, survival and hunting techniques, and a reliable map.

I'd sleep in treetops, travel only by day, and wear neutral clothing that blends with most environments. Scavenge when/where I can, and try to find a strong, easily defensible base with a steady and reliable food and water supply, preferably one large enough to house a group of people over a long period- nobody wants to be alone.

I'd probably also take along a memento or two, to remind me of better days.

Contact as many people that I can rely on, find weapons, and get to a place that is (a) safe and structurally sound (b)able to hold many people comfortably (c) has backup energy.
Also I don't see zombies being that plentiful, unless if there is like a massive nuclear mutation, if that's the case chances are I'd be infected. IF not, then I'd try to do what I said in the paragraph before.

I wouldn't do anything. I'd be like: "Zombies? Nope. Not uh. No use. I'll just stay here. I'm already dead. Bye."

Besides, even if you did get away from the zombies, think about all the people you'll have to deal with later (like all the cray crayz). If some form of government ever developed, all the rich peoples will have control of all the water and food and shelter and weapons. The rest of us would live in poverty and we'd be so sad and miserable.

Join team zombie! Braiiinnns! ...Unless there was some paradise living in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Like let's just live on ships like Water World.

Blend in with the crowd, stay in the middle of a crowd, find out who has the anti-zombie weapons and make friends with those people. Find Simon from Castlevania.

Since I work in a prison, that's where I'd go. Food, weapons, yeah, be all good.

I don't see a prison actually ending up like the one on the Walking Dead anyway.

Boyfriend and I have his and hers weapons of choice: he has a damn-fancy hand-forged Katanna that I got him for Christmas and I have a not-at-all fancy warhammer. We both have long bows and sets of arrows. And I have about six nice little hand axes and machettes hidden around the house.
My family owns two hunting cabins, one house, and 60 acres of property in upstate NY. Nearest neighbor is 5 miles down the road. Nearest town is 15 miles. They're stocked with hunting rifles, ammo, bows, kerosene lamps, three generators, two wells, and canned goods.
We're pretty prepared.

Cool. I know who to go find and hang with then! Don't worry, I've got quite a bit of survival knowledge I can share with you. edible plants, snares, and ways to find water, for instance.
