This club is for all that is zombie related, for those those who show a slight interest or even an obsession. I myself am a big fan of the "of the dead" series but like alot of zombie films.
Anyone bought the zombie survival guide? I strongly advise anyone to buy it.

-NO SPAMMING

-NO FLAMING like "U r tEh GhEY"

-Keep it zombie

- post a survival plan just a paragraph

-don't say like ID USE A minigun AND SHOOT THEM!!! when you don't have one.

-have fun

come one 30 veiws no replies?

I think there is already a thread on this.

I will help you battle zombies now if you will excuse me i must get my terrible weapon of wrath and doom to bring destruction to zombies everywhere......... now where did i put that pointy stick.

Yeah i'm all in.

But what kinda zombies are we talking about? The "shoot em in the head" Romeros or the "all body parts have a life of their own in a completely illogical and stupid way" Return of the Living Dead zombies?

both in fact any voodoo,normal zombies,ghouls etc.

Meh, start a specific topic on zombies and i'll give you the debate of your life on it. I'm pretty much the most knowledgable person i know in the field.

im definelty in

ok.....What would you do if a outbreak would occur in your local town/village/city etc ? I would personally scream like a little girl grab my melee wepons mainly my reebar club or my spear ether ones fine.If everyone was dead in my house id probily take my dads shotgun and head in the woods.why you say go in the woods cuz zombies don't understand the concept of logs and barricades they will most likey rip in a pit much less get stuck in some thorn bushes. now theres quite alot of houses near by due to the fact I live in the suburbs. I would pack food gather up my local freinds and build barricades in the woods with a few traps I have knowlage of makeing bombs from the anarchy cookbook.

The woods has may advantages and disadvatages mainly food sorce is high since theres farms,deer,bunnies and stuff.


I don't know how long I would last thou.....


POST YOUR SURVIVAL PLAN!!!!!!

Once outbreak occurs

1. Grab machete
2. take dad's car and pick up a couple of friends
3. raid local police station for guns/armor
4. steal swat truck, and raid local walmart
5. drive to mexico

Oh yeah. I'm in. I've had many a drunken dicsussion about this. Best theories included the following.

1. Go to the local bowling alley, board up any windows and assemble an arsenal of bowling balls. Station someone on the roof to take out any zombies that come near, a 14 pound Brunswick to the head should do the job. You could attach string to them to make sure you don't have to go out and collect them when you run out. Any bowling alley worth it's salt should have an eff load of beer and turkey dinosaurs to keep the blues away.

2. Abscond to a bus station, or better still a depot. Steal a bus and soup the bad boy up with a load of corrugated metal and barbed wire, leaving enough room for guns and other weapons to poke out of. Drive around the vicinity effing the effers up the a.

3. Stay in, board up the house and send a patrol group out in the Peugeot to pick up provisions, weapons and ammo. One guy driving, one in the boot with a sniper rifle and one out of the sunroof with an AK-47 to plough the road. An old shed roof crudely bolted to the front of the car should provide maximum zombie carnage. Ensure the house is a virtual fortress, with machine gun nests at the front and back and heavy reinforced fences at the sides, topped with a liberal drizzling of razor wire.

There are loads more.

Well everyone who's into films like this always end up debating about the do's and dont's of zombie survival.

As long as you don't board yourself up in a small country house with just ONE gun and an idiot who wants to be in charge you're ok.

Personally i'd rather go for my apartment anyways. Steel triple bolted door can keep anything out.

Your idea isn't bad actually. There are definitely conflicting opinions on surviving in the woods but you could survive out there.
Rules to consider:
1) Do not go alone. Zombies do not need to sleep, you do.
2) Zombies can trip in the woods yes, but so can you. Slow and steady wins the race. Don't panic or rush, there are more ways to die in the woods than just zombie.
3) They may not be able to find you easily in teh woods, but you will not be able to find them easily either. It'll be much easier for a zombie to sneak up on you. Again, don't go alone.



1. Good call.
2. Also good call. Provided, yanno, your Dad doesn't want it.
3. Dead. Sorry. Public service centers, such as Police Stations, will be the first place people will go. And as such, the first places zombie outbreaks will occur, since the nature of the outbreak may be considered violent by the police and the zombies detained. Guns/armour can be picked off corpses, but regardless your Machette is a better weapon and your own speed better armour. Other paniced citizens will kill you for what you have once the dying starts, zombies aren't the only threat.
4. I highly doubt you or your friends would be able to drive a Swat truck, and you definitely wont be able to steal one. A police officer, even in an outbreak, will probably shoot you before allowing you to drive away with his or her armoured vehicle. Remember, it's every man for himself. Also Walmart = dead. Unfortifiable, and again an area other people will be likely to converge on. However, if you happen to stumble on an armoured truck, and can drive it, then all the better for you, definitely.
5. Wrong way. Drive north, away from heat and populated areas. Mexico will be a hathen for disease due to rotting corpses, and the majority will also go south, bringing the outbreak and zombies with them. North, into wilderness and mountains, you'll have a better chance to survive.



Depends on the nature of the outbreak. Staying for a few weeks in your apartment is good, but you can't survive in their a few months regardless. Still, that's a good plan A.
And yeah, personally, if there were any idiots like baldy in Night of the Living Dead, i'd throw them out in a second. There is no room for morons when death is around every single corner.

This is easy.

Step 1: pick up any weapons you can find on your way to find BurnSide
Step 2: find BurnSide
Step 3: keep close to BurnSide and do what he says

dude i freakin have that book , i got it as a gift like 3 years ago from a teacher cuz like im obssesed with the dead also. and yeah i freakin luve it. its hella sick. but yeah. wheres the zombie clubs at??!!!

luve always
muddpuppy

you know yeah pedning on the outbreak, like i think scram to the hill tops and mountains. and carry a weapn, like a machette or something. and dont be stupid and dont be high. but loike if you smoke crack then wow you can take on a few, lol. but yeah i wouldnt stay put in one area especaillly a a padd. wilderness os high mountains , trhe best the ocean fo shizzies!!!

luve always
muddpuppy

living on an island sounds cool, but I wonder that the undead can walk underwater? but then the fishes might eat on them. then you might be on an island surrounded by zombie fishes...

If you do any type of substance or become in any way inebriated during an outbreak, consider yourself dead. I would never stand for that from any member of my team. Even every drunk can up the risk of being caught off guard. You need to be alert.
Don't drink and fight zombies.
The mountains, perfect. You can set up a defensive perimeter around a cabin of sorts, grow your own food, survive up there for several years as long as you have the know-how.
To the ocean, bad idea. You'll wont get eaten by a zombie, that's the good news. Bad news is food, water, and fuel. Eventually, you will have to dock, you cannot survive indefiniately at sea.



An island would be a perfect choice, so long as it's uninhabited. There's debate about zombies and water. They obviously wont drown, and can't exactly swim either. They may float abit, but wont get far. Most likely they'll walk on the bottom, and rott much quicker. As long as your island is more than a couple days extremely slow walk from land, i don't imagine you'll have an issue.

God Burns, can I be your groupie?

You need to ask?

YaY!

But I refuse to wear strappy heels during one of these outbreaks.

!

Well, it would be difficult to run in them and would hurt your feet which are vital in an Outbreak. So that's fine.

You will take them with us though.

...and a few other things.


la de da...

Unless you're talking about supernatural zombies, they wouldn't be able to do anything 'special'. Oxygen is needed for respiration, no oxygen = no energy. It's as simple as that.

I live just by a river which passes through lots of different town centers aswell as several thousand acres of preserved woodland and open fields. I think it would be a pretty good idea to grab a boat and sail up and down for a while, collecting supplies as we need and camp out on any of the small islands at night. Although in the hot summer months a river surrounded by flies and mosquitos wouldn't be a great idea, you could get infected pretty easily.

There's also a hospice nearby which is several storeys high and pretty fortified, it's got 3m+ tall concrete walls all around and wooden gates which can be opened remotely. It's surrounded by different schools (three highschools and one middle school all within a few hundred yards of each other...I don't know who decided that was a good idea) and a supermarket, which are all connected by the roof, you could just climb up and have easy access to any of the buildings which would all be great for hiding out in if they were barricaded on the ground level.

That's presuming I would be lucky enough to survive the initial outbreak, chances are, I wouldn't. Not to mention that if any of this were to happen, all plans you had beforehand would be completely useless, it's a hell of a lot more complicated than just saying you're going to round up your friends and family and camp in a building while you sit back and watch the world fall apart. It just wouldn't happen like that.

Yo are my favourite.



That is assuming that zombies do in some way take in Oxygen. The most used valid formula for zombies is, if you remove their organs or, for example, shoot their lungs full of holes, it wont do crap. Plus an Undead Zombie would have no circulation, it's blood would be coagulated and therefore there would be no transfer of oxygen from lungs to blood to organs. So being in water or not probably would not affect a zombie in that way
*shrugs*



There is something that is not usually touched upon. Infection by bugs. It's natural to assume that if a Mosquito bites an infected, and then bites you, you would probably become infected too. There ae so many other factors to consider than just the zombie itself. Sailing would rid you, potentially, of the menace of being bitten by zombies, but it opens up another huge can of worms.



Now you're talking! Sounds like a good place to stand against a seige.



Which is exactly why i have no posted a plan in the event of a zombie outbreak. That isn't to say i've considered, over many many hours, exactly every step i would take in every different senario a zombie outbreak could present. But quite simply, it would all be on impulse. I'm prepared by knowing all i can. But i wont know until the night where i will be, where i can go, who will be with me, what supplies i can get my hands on, etc. I prefer the improv way.

heres something burnside may have seen before but something most have not.

zombie infection simalator

WOOHOO two pages!

Yeah i've seen it. It's made by the same guy who operates and runs 'URBANDEAD'. Which is a free MMORPG where players take the roles of people and zombies and duke it out in a city. Quite fun.

The simulator is fun to play around with and to an extent, relatively accurate.

Well luckily for us, that type of zombie is a physical impossibility (I guess I'm wrong whenever I use the word zombie. When I do, I pretty much mean what you see in 28 days later, an infection. Rotten corpses dying and coming back to life doesn't really come in to it for me. ).



Yeah, there's loads of stuff you'll need to take in to account which movies always miss. If an outbreak ever did occur the chances are you're not going to know anything about the bacteria or virus. You'd have to assume it's airborne, foodborne etc. So being in any small closed areas with a corpse (or an actual zombie, funnily enough) would be a bad idea, you wouldn't want to inhale anything nasty, so ventilation would be great.

You'll probably also want to stick with sealed foods and avoid drinking water from any rivers or streams in urban areas (although I suppose that's just being sensible, there's so much waste polluting the water anyway). If you're going to be hunting for meat, cook it good.




Lots of medical supplies, too! It would most probably have the drugs to finish you off peacefully aswell. You know, for the worst case scenario. Otherwise it'd be hell if it turned out your only options are to starve or be eaten...





Kind of off-topic, but do your friends have an interest in zombies, too?



Yeah that's pretty cool, I was playing around with it before. There are a lot more options on it now though.

hahah, umm.. kinda they do. It's been sort of forced upon them by me, considering every now and then i jump out with a pop quiz about certain things to take into account during a zombie outbreak, and then grill them on correct procedure if they get it wrong.
Yeah, they all like zombies. We've had so many talks, late at night while walking through deserted parks, about how we'd react right that second IF... or how we'd get out of an apartment 11 stories up if zombies started pouring through the door, etc.
I'm pretty lucky, my friends put up with me.

I think secretly they're all glad to have me around though. We're all pretty firm believers in the end of society occuring within the next 6 years or so, so they're happy they have someone around with decent survival skills. And a really big functioning sword.

So here's a question.

If everyone is most likely to converge on gun stores during an outbreak, how the hell do you get guns later on? It'd be hard to find them in an entire city if everyone else got there before you, right?

You're on your own with that. Not a single line in my contingency plan for guns. Because, quite simply, i have never seen a gun, and probably never will, since i'll most likely never live in a Country that allows guns.

Ok ok ok ok .... I live on a smallish island with roughly 65000 people populating it....now my plan would be as follows:

1) take my mums bf's Samurai sword as my main weapon of choice, guns are a no no for me as it is less accurate, whereas with the samurai sword i can swing at their necks and chop their heads off.

2)Drive my car to the cost collecting any survivors on the way, the more the better.

3) there are lots of HUGE rock around the coasts of our island so i would set up a camp on a high rock that is hardish to get to and keep all the survivors there.

4) i would gather fishing supplies from local fishing boats and fishing shops.

5) for water i would boil the sea water to make it pure and for food i would fish.

6) we (all the survivors) will have our weapons of choice and slowly kill all zombies.

7) we will repeat the steps over and over until the breakout is over,



What do you guys think?

Pretty cool, can you boil seawater to purify it though? I thought you needed some kind of desalinasation thingy to catch the fersh water.

Prefer the idea of old-school weapons to guns as well, I would have a cricket bat and some kind of massive knife. Maybe a club with a nail in it as well.

The sea is a pretty good resource though, I wish I lived on an island.

I LIKE MACHETES!!!!

LUVE ALWAYS
MUDDPUPPY

this is my method

1-get 9mm put it to your head

2-make peace with god

3- pull the trigger

Sure, but that wouldn't make for an interesting movie, now would it?

Or if it did, it'd sure be the cheapest one out there... with the exception of perhaps the so called "sequel" to day of the dead

You got that right.

FAIL!


youtube 50,000 volts:zombies

Im not overly sure, if not than i can always collect rain water? yeah a club with a nail would be cool, impale their brains.... yeah living on an island is cool

your not looking to be cool your looking for the best way to stay alive.

I'm not an expert on proverbial zombie survival but am a survival junkie and I've been "reading up" on that particular subject therefore would love to participate.

My Group: The group and disaster plan go no further than my own home at this point. Falco and I are the group for now. The last thing we want is people flocking to our house for our protection, possibly hiding bites from zombies. We believe that a small group is best at least to start out. People go crazy in the face of disaster and do worse than any zombie could do. You can only die once (or um twice if you become a zombie then..... well you know) but slavery, torture, rape can last a long long time. I guess I don't trust people, just Falco. At least to start like I said.

Level 1 outbreak, localized, isolated. The power is still on and we're still getting news. The outbreak is nowhere near us and there is only panic in the streets, no zombies knocking on our door.

Option one:

Stay put and wait out the mehem til people start to kill each other off. We have the suplies, food and water to live quietly and undetected by human or zombie for at least a month and weapons to defend ourselves. We lay low and stay off everyone's radar but in the meantime zombies are potentialy getting closer and closer. Not a huge fan of this scenerio.

Option two:

Flee. Pack up some provisions and head for the hills. The "hills" being a secluded farm my family owns with more weapons, lots and lots of weapons. While not topographicly ideal the farm has many comforts like trees, a stream, pleanty of fertile soil and an unlimited supply of fence building materials and the tools, power and manual, to build them. If you can build fences you can also build shelter for the people who eventually show up needing it. The farm also boasts several houses most of which have survived tornado after tornado and lock up like fortresses. Gas gennies, underground gas tanks, septic tank and well water also make the farm look good. A decent life could be made with 15 to 50 people to make it work. But that comes later.

The question is "how to flee?", by land, by sea or by plane. leaving my city by land would be tough. Geographicly speaking it would be a nightmare so unless we could leave on foot or ATV its pretty much out of the question. The river however goes right to the farm (with a couple of miles) and we could make it by boat in less than 4 hours even if our boat had no motor. The airport is only a few short miles from my house and since I can fly planes I have to consider flee-by-flight. Its a small controlled airport used mainly by students at Purdue University and no comercial traffic comes through. There are hundrends of small planes housed in the hangars that I could easily fly if needed. I could land right on the farm and travel time would be less than 20 minutes.




level two outbreak, localized but multiple locations To be con't....

level three outbreak, all major cities affected and spreading fast To be con't....

level four outbreak, living in a world ruled by the undead To be con't....

What would I do... I would join the local militia then head to the nearest surviving military base (in an effort to regroup after the initial zombie attack) and join the cause to cleanse the Earth of the ravenous undead. I would seriously not go into hiding because staying alive (doing the bare minimum) is not doing anything productive for the future of mankind, unless you baby make more than the zombies kill.

it hurt me if I had to kill a zombie baby.

Zombie Contingency Plan: Code Name Red-Z

Primary Directives: 1.) Ensure survival of subject 2.) Ensure fortification of subjects home 3.) Ensure outpost and protection of subject.

Scenario Alpha: Zombie outbreak has occured. Panic hits streets. Subject is located in the proximity of the Darke County area with wife and two friends Maciah and Michael.

1.) Don protective weaponry consisting of specialy modified Mossberg pump action shotgun, 1911 .45 hand gun, Specially designed mace, and 1911 trench spike.

2.) Send out text message to friends Code: Red-Z

3.) Destination...large farm property and farm house set within an easily defendable glen of woods.

4.) Once arrived at destination, prepare all water stores greatly and proceed to nearby lumber and hardware store. Proceed to fence in the front areas ofbuilding with wood fencings, reinforced by wire and a concrete base. Outfit grandparents van by welding metal bars onto windows. Ready genrator within basement and then proceed to stock up seeds and ammo and other food stuffs that are needed along with books and the like for if and when the power finally goes out. Tap into phonelines for internet connection to keep contact with others.

5.) Once home base has been established and the front wall put up...begin fortification of interior along the basement and first floor of the house. Install specially designed anti-zombie traps near house. PRoceed then to make a perimeter, checking the surrounding area, mopping up any stenches in the area if they have gotten that far. Make notes on a geo survey map where key points for defense are.

6.) Fortify key points and trails, making walls were zombies cannot pass through easily and thus discouraging them for coming any farther. Build fortified command points using nartural materials and establish points with radio contact to keep in touch. Establish parameter and keep on the alert. If second building on property is abandoned *and it most likely will be* Set up as secondary base camp with fortification and communications.

7.) IF can be done, make trips to the police station and obtain riot gear and the like. Armor one self and take all the supplies that can be gathered back to home base. Seed gardens for food stuffs in secured area within compound perimeter and begin Operation: Good Earth to grow rations. Manage water and collect what can be from rain water and purify it.

8.) Wait out in compound and if can be..begin going out in small excursions to terminate lone zombies or small, small groups of zombies. Never go out after dusk and never hunt zombies alone.

9.) PRactice drills to make compound look completely dead, hang zombie parts and smear zombie blood upon place to make it look abandoned. Only if survivors show good intentions can you let them in..otherwise...kill them on sight.

10.) Eventually...help will arrive and so, wait out the storm.

So what kind of zombies are we talknig about? Those smart running ones, who know how to climb stairs and stuff? Or those stupid slow ones?

Hmm, I'll think of a survival guide for the both. Running zombies are gonna be hard, slow stupid ones are gonna be fun

I didn't notice this dud....

I would sit on my roof with a jar of pickled eggs, a bag of Wild Bills, a MGD Fridgepack, 2 cases of Korean surplus .30-06 and my 1903 Springfield..


Lapiche

Ehh.. Screw it, too lazy to make a guide.

Haha, I would just do the same, sit on top of my roof with a drink and a 10-gauge shotgun with slugs. Oh yeah, I'll have my spiked club just in case I need to go close combat.

I would also have a wooden plank incase I need to go to the next roof top.
