For fans of The Zombie Survival Guide

I'd grab a crowbar, a rifle, a handgun, combat knife, ammo, seeds, soil, camping and climbing gear, compass, a few gallons of water, a filter, laptop, my cat, and load them all up in my car and drive north to middle-of-nowhere, US/Canada.

Get into an apartment complex, destroy the stairs leading up, build a rope ladder, plant crops up there, and wait it out for the handful of years it would take for the zombies to die again.

This. Except I would be sure to bring at least 2 cats...just to be safe.

I'd like to ask, why cats? and why 2 of them?

I'd go to Alaska. They'll freeze like corpseicles.

Why in case something happens to the first one of course! But I don't even really like cat's at all, I'm allergic.

Someplace cold then an oil rig for the long term? hmmm

 

[Dr Pussymagnet]

I'd complain about it on an internet forum.

Barricade the house.
Get as much food as I can.
Get some moto-X armour.
Get a big a**ed fire-axe.
Sit and wait with a cup of tea until it all blows over...
The British Way!!!
and of course occassionally going out and axing some zombie heads in for the crack

Personally, I wouldn't worry a bit. The zombie-creation mechanism outlined in the Zombie Survival Guide is anatomically infeasible. A human body can't function on electricity alone. In order to make muscles move, you need oxygen, which must be delivered by a functioning circulatory system, and fuel in the form of sugars, which requires a digestive system. Basically, if you want a human body to move, it needs to be alive. No offense to Mr. Brooks, but logic has completely averted the zombie apocalypse.

You ruined it!!!

I agree completely, and must add that since the zombie infected brain needs no oxygen, the brain itself cannot function, and without the brain, no electricity can be provided to the muscles to allow the to function, as viruses cannot produce their own electricity. Also, since a brain without oxygen cannot work, the moan that zombies make is impossible as the lung is a muscle, and ergo, requires electricity provided from the brain to work.

I would probably panic. Zombies are freaking scary to me and always will be

"They feel no fear...why should you?" But, granted they are trying to fucking eat you...I do see your point

See, that's a good reason. Die from your allergies, not teeth in your throat.

I don't really feel comfortable making comments about 'swine flu zombies' when 60 people are dead in reality...(probably more by now because that number is from a few days ago)

I mean, I love talking about zombie disasters, but isn't this on the border of tasteless?

why do you think i put up the question? just supposin it isnt swine flu and it is the zombie virus? i can't find my copy of the book but doesnt it say that within 24 hours of being infected you have the same symptoms as swine flu? (scary noise)

I see what you mean, and I have to agree, but when did Internet = tasteful?

This [http://www.cracked.com/blog/whats-your-zombie-contingency-plan-11-practical-strategies/] Cracked article has an extremely realistic "zombie" described in detail. Just skip down to the last plan.

Also, OT, my plan is the same as the guy who wrote the Cracked article. "I had a great plan, but I tripped."

Raid the supermarket, buy enough supplies to last me for years
Wait at home
I live in the middle of nowhere in the english countryside
there are at max, 500 people in a 3 mile radius
I think I'd be relatively ok
there're forests nearby too.
my dad owns guns anyway, and I know a basic maintenance and use of them.
only fear is what I'd do with my 6 dogs :/

thats like getting shit for talking about old age everyone dies if you can get some enjoyment out of it and not get all depressed good for you, although I see your point real people are dying and we are joking about? thats the great thing about the internet you can be a total douche and not care although since you are directly influence peoples lives you should probably refrain from it, but hey if thats how you get your kicks go for it.
RANT OVER
