if you want to know how to survive a zombie attack you should buy the zombie survival guide. One important tip to remember is that when running from a zombie is, a zombie will never grow tired, it will chase it's prey for many miles as long as it can see you.

Well, first find a metal box and fill it with food and water. Then climb in, weld the door shut and sit it out.

Alternatively, one could cause their own death but remain intact mentally. The way I see it, Zombies are stupid because there is complete brain death in between their death and reanimation. Therefore, if oxygen and nutrients could continue to be pumped into the brain after death, one would reanimate as an intelligent Zombie - safe from the other zombies and fully capable of continued reasoning. Since Zombies don't seem to decay at all, you have eternal life!

Yes because they will kill you and try on your clothes and if you are in a garage kill you and pinch your car

3.Leave the city


Yeah go to the countryside less pollution and is friendlier on the zombies decaying lungs as they feast on your flesh

QUOTE
4.Stockpile ammunition,food and alcohol (in that order)


Yes because you can shoot the zombie after they have gotten drunk and then chow down afterwards because all that killing may work up a appetite

QUOTE
5.If you think someone with you has been bitten, see rule 1


No ignore rule one just throw them to the zombies so they can finish the job and give you time to escape and get a good distance between you and the zombies

Except for your guns if not then you best get used to using a pointy stick and rock.

If you cant then cap them in the legs and leg it shouting see ya suckers while the zombies feast on them

It's tacky and you want to look cool when you are escaping and impress the zombies.

If they are old though just leave them be they are no good anyway, and they will tell you war time stories and back in their days this is how they would have taken care of a zombies.

Ok, now listen to me very carefully. Go to your kitchen, you should have some paper towel? Get a good amount of it and dampen it. Now, carefully wrap it around your head (careful not to tear the paper). Now, take off all your clothes and go to the refridgerator. You should have honey. Smear as much as you can all over your body. Now, go outside and start screaming "I DON'T BELIEVE IN ZOMBIES" as loudly as you can. Some nice men in labcoats will take you away to a place where zombies can't find you.



I do that every night wink2.gif

I'm kind of weird in the way that if i learn about something that scares me, i just find a way to protect myself from it instead of disproving its existence. so here is what i would do.

what i have in case of zombie attack I have a battle ready Katana and Wakizashi. i don't think i would use a gun since they run on ammo. a good blade to the neck and its all over.
as for armor, I'd use my Bike Jacket so they couldn't bite through it, and a really good pair of jeans. my bike boots would make good armor and my helmet would stop them from puking blood on me and infecting me that way. also protects my neck.

i have 50 different plans in case of zombie attack. however, 49 of them involve you being eaten by the zombies for me to escape. the 50th plan involves me becoming a zombie for the express reason of eating you though.

lol.


good ol redvsblue sarge never did like griff
ZombieHunter117
Ok bro listen to me i might have already posted but i looked more into this ok this is what you do preferably you live in a two story house ok so get all the weapons you can no matter how crude then if you have gates and there is no zombies there go outside lock them or barricade them now for the important part make sure to have a escape plan like a car ok so what you do is you barricade your door and any breakable below ground windows and destroy the stairs. make sure you get all your food reachable and make sure not to blast music and try to keep lights hidden or off now if you can make it to a iga or sobeys stock up on food and dont go to any malls because thats stuped tons of zombies can enter and people in the mall will probally fight you or trample you by accident and if infiltration of the home is near take the food get on your roof if you cant jump on other roofs then stay there as long as possible get to the car and book it.

just shoot it in the head. grin2.gif

KK this is the main plan i have for surviving a zombie outbreak.It can work for either the living dead slow-moving moaning kind or the super-strong infected kind, as long as they are afraid of light.Basically your main goal is to get to the North Pole,or as close to it as you can get,since the cold will freeze the zombies and slow them down considerably.The first thing you have to do is get out of heavily populated areas,like cities,since that's wheer most of them will be.You have to find some defendable place,preferably some kind of building,where you and several other ppl can bunker down and live for the first few days while you gather equipment,portable food,and weapons.For weapons I'd suggest robbing stores and such if there aren't any military bases nearby(btw if there is a military base just go there lol),and get plenty of ammunition,and several guns.Also have some knives,axes,and swords if u have them.Also as a last line of defense if the zombies are overwhelming you,place C-4 or some other explosives in a ring around ur bunker(make sure it's something you can detonate urself from the safety of ur hideout).Every day you will go out and gather food and supplies and every nite you will retreat to the bunker to defend urself.After a few days of gathering supplies you MUST move,or else all the zombies in the area will come after u.Travel by day,defend by nite,and NEVER go into any dark places(tunnels,abandoned buildings,etc.) during the day time.You'll want to move north or toward any mountains nearby as soon as possible,and from there move toward the North pole.If you really close to the South Pole then I'd suggest building a boat and sailing there.

Lol I've put thought into this wink2.gif

Follow my insturcions exactly! First, grap 2 teaspoons of salt and pour 1 teaspoon into each of your shoes. Drink four glasses of water. Take 8 steps north, 4 steps west. Lay on the ground facing the sky. Lay there for five minutes, then grab your cell.Next, go into your car and throw the keys out the window. Lock the door. Dial 911 and tell them these words exactly "Im locked in my car and the keys are on the outside" From there, the police will get the secret service to come and protect you. They will carbon freeze you so you can wake up in the future where there are no zombies.

If by now you havent realized, theres no such thing as zombies.

I browsed through the nine long pages, so forgive me if this has already been said, but you're going to need a copy of The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks. It offers Complete Protection From The Living Dead!

Firearms are not readily available where I live and I don't think my .22 air rifle is going to be taking their heads off so I got this made for me a couple of years ago.

linked-image

It's no wallhanger. It's made of EN45 steel with a proper heat treat and temper, none of that stainless rubbish (rubbish for swords, knives are fine in stainless).

It's going to be pretty effective I reckon. Heads will role.
Sporkling
Not really. I mean actually burning them. Would that work better do you think?
Roughneck

Well that depends. If they're still active then burning them can be very dangerous, and can backfire on you. I mean, would you rather have a zombie coming at you, or a burning zombie coming at you? Eventually the zombie would 'die' in the sense that it would no longer be active, yes, but why risk setting the surrounding environment on fire when a blow to the head will be better. However, once they are unactive/killed (again), then yes, burning them would be the best thing you could do. It destroys the corpse, and the disease.

Remember, the best defense against a zombie attack is staying on the move, especially in a high-level outbreak where entire cities/countries can be overrun. Try to avoid locking yourself in if you can, and DO NOT head to any urban areas unless you absolutely have to. Urban areas is where the zombies are massed. Sure, the woods may be scary, but you'll rarely find any zombies there in case of a major outbreak. Think about it. Unless you can hold off entire hordes of the undead without much trouble, and have plenty of food and supplies to last you for up to a year (zombies will eventually decompose entirely if they have no food) then avoid locking yourself in anywhere, unless you have absolutely no way of escape. Remember, basements are the worst place you can hide unless you have a way out. No matter how strong you think the barricade on the basement entrance is, if a few zombies get in, you're screwed. If you can, get on the roof, otherwise, hold up in the highest floor but always keep the lower floors heavily barricaded.

As for escape, try to avoid water. Sure, zombies can't swim, but they can float, and possibly walk. You don't want a bunch of floating zombies to wash up on your island, or to capsize your boat. Islands may seem like a good idea to hide, and they probably are, but unless you have a way off the island, it's best to just avoid it entirely.

The biggest threat in the case of a zombie outbreak is actually not the zombie, but your fellow human. I consider myself an upstanding citizen, but even I couldn't pass up the opportunity to raid a few stores to better fit myself in the case of serious social melt-down. We all have needs and desires. So imagine what someone who ENJOYS bringing chaos will do in that situation. Always be on your guard, and don't think that just because you see a human wandering the streets during a zombie outbreak means that he is your friend. He could be an escaped convict, a serial killer, a rapist, thief, or just a really stupid person who will get you into more trouble than if you were by yourself. In most cases, having a group of people is a liability for the person in charge, so think twice before befriending anything that is still alive just because it means having company. Not all company is desired company.

Anyways, I strongly suggest anyone who is interested in the undead to pick up The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks. It's a good read, and has survival tips that can be used in many situations even if they're not zombie-related.
Corthos
It always seems to me that one zombie, by itself, is no problem. Anyone with a baseball bat can deal effectively with one zombie, they're generally slow, clumsy, and felled by severe brain trauma. However, you never get just one zombie, or even a small group of zombies, it's always hundreds and thousands of living dead shambling about eating brains. I'd say your best bet is just to end yourself quickly. Eventually, if you hole up in a secure area, your food and water are going to run out, as well as amunition or what not, and when your food is gone and your crazy with thirst, the zombies are still out there waiting on you.
Roughneck
Eh, no. You can't just off yourself when things go bad. Then again, I won't stop you, but I want to live.

Anyways, one zombie is all it takes, comrade. Especially if said zombie happened upon an alleyway next to a bar at 0300.
Rockerchick2008
Katans are no good, they dull easily, you need a blunt object, a crowbar is good because its multi purpose, the best place I recommend getting out of town, but not in a car because if there are traffic jams your in trouble, so probably a motorbike, with a thing of fuel is good, find a building, something that you can escape from easily, and that doesnt have alot of windows so you don't need to worry about zombies busting in, a good place is a gun and ammo store...then just wait it out.
Carolina Cottontail
I used to tell my son that if you were safe in bed asleep by 9pm, nothing would get you. The ghoulies are out chasing all the kids who are running amuck at 2am! That is, most certainly, the time all of the dead bodies turned up on the night of a full moon in Podunk, USA. Just read the papers in the morning......Seeeeee?

Just let the zombie eat you, then you'll become a zombie yourself, and you wont have to worry about the zombies no more.

According to Adam West in Family Guy, you pour concrete over the dead bodies in the graves, so when they awake, not much they can really do but moan lol.

If I notice anything suspicious (which, its come close a few times. . .but its just turned out to be people on drugs. . .)with something "weird" going on. . .I'm going to go rob walmart, and make sure I get at least a 6 month supply of water (more on food cause I don't eat that much). . . and then I'm going to get a sledgehammer, and knock the steps to my house off. Then I'll be good. They can't reach me on the second story, right? And, when I get comfortable enough, I can pick them off with my stolen gun from wal mart. If that doesn't work, I still got my knife/sword collection to help me out. . . I got khukuris, machetes,claymores and all kinds of things. ..Always good against burglars too. ..

My advice - go to the nearest mall, chain up all the doors, kill all the zombies there, and lay low. Don't advertise your presence to roving biker gangs (Nothing good will come of it) and live out your days in relative peace.

Robbing a store would be a good idea if you have a solid plan, because most-likely, everyone else will be doing it. And since this is a zombie outbreak, most-likely, you're going to run into a lot of zombies. If it's just a small area and isolated case, robbing a store would just ensure you jail-time once they begin the witch-hunt for all the faces the cameras recorded.

If it's a high-level zombie outbreak that results in complete social breakdown, head for the country for a secluded area. Because you must remember, in that situation, a zombie is your second-most concern, humans your first. The point of hiding is to avoid zombies, right? Well where do you think all the zombies will be? Fishing near a state-park or shuffling along the boardwalk in the city? Wherever the people were when the outbreak occured, that's where the zombies are going to be. Just leave the cities and wait until all the zombies starve and decompose. Then, if you're the few survivors left in a large-scale outbreak, you can shop 'till you drop in any city you want. Keep a look-out for other survivors, though, they're not always the nicest people.

Sure, if you're starring in a B-movie.

Avoid urban areas like the plague. Unless you like hanging around zombies. The only reason you should ever lock yourself in is if there is no chance of escape and the area you're in is quarantined under threat of hostile-fire if you try to leave.

But hey, even I'll admit I've dreamed of going on a shopping spree during a zombie outbreak. Too bad it's a really bad idea.
Plainbob13
Well. First you need to make sure your zombie disaster kit is up to date. Second, make sure you have a defendable spot to fall back to. Third, make sure you have a stock of ammo for you guns. This is important, not all bullets work in all guns. If all this is done you can sitback and watch the world go to hell in a hand basket with no worries.

Give you all the information that you need about how to spot a zombie is (apparently there is a difference between voodoo zombies and 'real'zombies) , what weapons are best, hide outs and etc
Most interesting bit is the recorded attacks it describes for you and gives you tips on how to live in an undead world (worst scenario) original.gif
