Tips on how to survive a Zombie Outbreak

[DannibalG36]

Shotgun? Yeah. If you want to attract every zombie within a mile radius.

Bring: an external frame backpack (you can carry a lot of stuff inside and can strap weapons to the frame)
a semiautomatic gun (definitely a rifle, and maybe a pistol as a last line of defence)
an entrenching shovel (useful for digging and combat)
a Malaysian parang (can cut down trees, rough carving, and zombie chopping - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parang_(knife))
two Platypus water bottles (collapsible and very light)
a Camelbak water bladder (stick it in your backpack and drink from it on the fly)
food for three days (do some raiding if you have to - don't let it weigh you down)
sharpening stone (duh)
lots of ammunition (again, duh)
any other bare camping essentials (tent, bivy bag, matches, etc. - but only what you absolutely need)

Travel quietly during the day - sleep at night. Trees are ideal, especially those with retractable ladders. Houses are okay - just break down the stairs or barricade them. Travel on foot or on a bike. Horses are also ideal, but only if you can control them. Cars and motorcycles will run out of fuel quickly - avoid, unless you want to go somewhere fast.

For long-term survival, an offshore rig is ideal (food stocked for months, desalinization kits available, and fishing lines as a last resort). You likely won't find one of these, so make do with a place that has only one point of access - camps in mountains can be tailored to fit, or any sort of tunnel.

1. I'd say take over a Wal-Mart and wait it out but about 8.6 million other people would think of that so that's out (but if it could be done it'd be a good idea in my book).

2. Don't trust anyone! Seriously... if society breaks down it's everyman for him self.

3. Avoid Melee weapons if at all possible because of the risk of blood splater and infection


Pre Zombie Outbreak-Rules:

1. Stay in Shape; run, jog powerwalk whatever to keep you conditioned for possible running (that should be basic)

2. Take a Hand to Hand martial art specially if it foucses on grapples, breaking holds and group fighting.

3. Take a Fire arms class (shooting and proper gun maintenance) because if you or others find the best guns how many people are truly going to be able to shoot straight especailly under stress.

Just my thoughts

All you have to do is escape to Arctica or Antarctica if your Australian. Zombies freeze in cold since they are rotting and dead.

Jack a boat with enough supplies to wait out the lifespan of the infected(probably a few months) and you're home free. Just make sure you clear the boat of zombies very thoroughly.

No mercy and burn it all are my words to you.

Point 4 is really dumb. Long melee weapons is the way to go? Yeah way to 1 get easily overrun, 2 get their blood on you, 3 die painfully.

You can't actually kill a zombie with a melee weapon before it kills you, a bump on the head won't even slow the zombie down. Neither will a chop to the head or chest. Seriously good luck getting through the skull enough to damage the brain on the first swing, which is all you get at that range.

\Guns make noise, but i'd rather be loud when needed then get eaten alive.

Your right. A melee weapon won't kill you if it isn't a well placed strike, but it will damn well knock you the fuck down. No matter what, undead or not, if you were slammed by a baseball bat your going down.

Also, I said guns are good to have, but don't rely on them as they are so many things that can go wrong. You could miss, it could jam, you could run out of ammo. Once the gun is out, then what? Unless its like a shotgun or something. That counts as melee too.

I don't think Zombie me is going to get dropped from a baseballbat swing. I mean it doesn't feel pain, and try to swing a baseballbat indoors or in tight pplaces.

Oh and a shotgun counts as a gun, I have 6 of them literally near me. You do know that in real life they make loud noise and fire more than 10 feet right? More like 250 feet.
