I've got my Ka-bar under my bed. More weapons (axe, baseball bat etc) lying around the house, no guns though as I'm in Melbourne studying.

It depends on the stage of the outbreak, if there's a mass panic to flee the city, I'm fortifying the house and waiting a few days, but if there isn't or its isolated to "rioting" in one area like Frankston, (if you lived in Melbourne you'd understand) I'll leave the city by car.

Ultimately the goal is to get back to Wangaratta my home town, gather the guns and family head into the hills, plenty of properties and farms to scavenge from.

Though these are my ideal (but realistic) goals for zombie weapons and my future stronghold.

Currently existing weapons for my myself and companions (working within Australia's gun laws)
Myself
Bolt action mossin nagant, (A scope could be attached) + Rifle Bayonet
Ka-Bar fighting knife
Crowbar

Companion 1
Scoped .22 Rifle with sub sonics (silent, small ammunition, requires headshots)
Sawn-off shotgun
Knife + entrenching tool (folding shovel)

Companion 2
Winchester repeater
Knife + Axe (or at least large hatchet)

Companion 3
Same as 1, but machete instead of entrenching tool.

The .22 can dispatch Zombies silently and efficiently, shotguns for dropping groups and larger rifles for all round effectiveness. Nearly all the melee weapons double as tools.

With the .22s the ammunition is very common and light. They are less noisy or even nearly silent with sub-sonic rounds. The bullets lack the power to enter a skull and exit the other side, rather they ricochet around the skull, meaning hopefully a signal shot kill to the head.

Down side is no stopping power what so ever, if they hit a zombie anywhere else it won't even be slowed.

Handguns if possible, unfortunately limited to pre-1900 pieces, sporting guns or salvaged police/security weapons in Australia. Also I'd love an impact baton (illegal in my state) as well.

Armour/Clothing
Leather/Moleskin pants
Tough oilskin vest (with pouches for ammunition)
Sturdy boots
Tight fitting cycling/swimming shirts (less likely to tear, harder to grab)
Knee pads, elbow pads, gloves and forearm armour (like those worn by skaters or even better bikers)
For urban/house clearance, helmet with with plastic visor (like used with gardening, kinda like the thing Dexter's wears) more for infected blood splatter
For rural/regional areas, sunglasses, broadbrim hat and shemagh (arab head scarf) wrapped around neck.

Prior to "Z-day" I'll be living in a Mexican style hacienda, four rectangular walls high windows with wooden shutters that are reinforced by steel and a courtyard with thick wooden gate to outside world. Greenhouse on the second floor, solar panels and a wind power water from air generator (basically wind spins turbine, powers refrig panels and creates water from condersation). Large underground water tanks for rainwater and aforementioned generated water.

This is on the outside of a large town (40,000 residents) perhaps a twenty minute drive.

Some sort of hybrid car that uses electric (perhaps rechargeable hydrogen cells) and regular fuel. Along with bicycles etc.

Guns, ammo, food and medical supplies stockpiled. Protective clothing like motor-bike gear, skate pads and helmets with clear visors for underneath regular clothing. Melee weapons like crowbars, machetes and hatchets that serve several purposes.

"Z day" occurs, gather family, wife + kids if I have them, plus siblings and parents if nearby. Call previously warned/selected friends. If they can get themselves plus family to my house or nearby they've got a spot in the house.

These friends include a vet and two former (at that point in time) soldiers, one of whom is an excellent mechanic and the other has a portable bullet press and knows how to remake bullets. I will hopefully be a trained doctor by that time (currently studying 2nd year).

Hide for a couple weeks, start raiding nearby properties (being vary careful), salvaging stuff and gathering livestock (we'd already have some chickens, a cow or two). Rescue survivors if safe to do so. Only allow appropriately inspected survivors in and only if they can carry their own weight.

If the zombies are there for the long haul, plant crops in the soil during the day, under the watchful eye of armed sentries. Hunt Kangaroos. Fence off livestock if there's too many to keep in the courtyard. Protecting them would be important but not life risk worthy. Reinforce already high windows and sturdy gate. Razor wire furthermost fences and gates around the farm.

Slaughter and burn any zombies that approach, at night time so the smoke can't be seen. Practice noise awareness/control, maintain radio silence at the house, if we need to communicated with other survivors (not often or likely), we'll take the set a dozen or kilometres away to one of several safe open spots and send our transmission. This is so our location can't be triangulated by tech savvy raiders and potentially remnants of the armed forces gone bad.

If the town greatly depopulates of zombies, say if they hypothetically move to a larger urban centre, raid the town itself. Raid grain silos and forage in overgrown vegetable fields, depending on the time of the year, there may be a lot of crops growing out of control.

Eventually start taking the fight to them, setting up traps and murderous shooting galleries on buildings on the outskirts (where we can recover all our casings).

Once zombie numbers have drastically decreased or they die out completely rebuild society ever vigilantly. Planned breeding to reduce consanguinity (aka incest/inbreeding). Teach the kids.

If survivors want to gather around my fort, they're welcome as long as the agree to the feudal semi-communistic nature of the place, with me as their Hetman.

I have two plans for zombie survival.

1. If the roads aren't filled with people trying to escape, get into car with supplies and family and drive to the huge public garden near our house. It's in the middle of nowhere, but it has a hotel in it that can be easily fortified. We would live on the food we'd brought and the food in the hotel and garden. When those ran out, we could live on the plants in the edible plants garden until we could go into town for more raids.

2. Gather as many people as possible and escape into the farmlands with weapons and supplies. (We could reach the farmlands by bike or foot. My city isn't that far from them.) The group would set up a stronghold, and we could begin to farm the surrounding land for food. Hopefully, we'd be able to live off of stockpiled food until fighting in the city finally died down. Then we would slowly begin reclaiming the city.

None. I don't believe in the Zombie Apocalypse.

Although, if it were to happen, I would arm myself with my Ruger 10/22 and a few knifes and find my way to the nearest gun store. I know my plan isn't that well thought out, but I'll probably be infected by the airborne virus.

First I plan to tie a red bandanna around my head and long hair. Then take my machete (I actually have one) and cut my way to my work. There I will team up with some of the truckers I work with and barricade ourselves in the fenced depot. We will use the semi-trucks to make supply runs, killing runs, and survivor rescue runs during the day and go into lock down at dusk. Zombies are more aggressive at night.

With the help of the city I'd build a 30 foot wall around the city and spend the rest of my days stabbing zombies with bullets.

That or join the military. They could benefit from my zombie related knowledge.

Having read the Zombie Survival Guide, I feel I'm ready for a zombie incursions. So much so, I've gone to the liberty of preemtivly killing off my neighbors stocked up on supplies. I'm in a heavily populated area, so the chances of survival are slim. However in an effort to vaccate the area, I have tagged subjects with motorcycles fast enough and in good enough condition to get me to a local navy yard. From there, I will take refuge with military armed forces, and if at all posable, board a large boat.

My arms is a .45 hollow point pistol that I will only use if I am located by a large enough zombie force. My firing reports are enough to attract more, so use of a firearm is only in situations most dire.

gather enough supplies onto a boat and just live on the open seas, i'd have a couple of weapons(+ ammo) around in case the zombies suddenly gain the ability to fly or some other shit happens maybe they learned to swim instead of flying or maybe even both!!

Depends on how many there are. If there aren't a lot, and they are the slow kind, i would at least need to use a bow to kill them.
If there's an uncontrollable outbreak, then I would find a bus, modify it into a mobile fortress, and haul ass to an isolated, extreme climate zone (like Alaska)

Damn it! Does no one listen to a Canadian when he's talking about cold? Going to Alaska is the last thing you want to do. Zombies won't freeze solid, I tell you. They don't have enough liquid in their bodies, and their constant movement generates heat!

Step 1: Annex a 5 acre plot of land in Russia
Step 2: Aquire food, weapons, armor
Step 3: Fortify my positions
Step 4: Kick back and relax upon learning there are no zombies in Russia due to that it's so friggin cold.
Step 5: Realize I am in Russia and move the hell back to America as soon as this apocalypse figures itself out.
Yeah, I don't think the 1.5 million man standing Russian army will put up with an armed American moving in. Just saying....

Zombiepocalypse is like my very worst nightmare. But I'm actually in surprisingly good situation. The house next door is owned by a guy who's a bit of a nutter for security, and I class it as Grade A Civillian Housing During Zombiepocalypse. High fence, no external door knobs, all windows covered with solid security screens, and it's all brick and no shoddy chipboarding. The kids who rent it at the moment are cool, theyd share. I'm also less than a block away from a supermarket, so food runs would hold minimal danger once the zombies' habits made themselves apparent. And, as the guys in 28 days later theorised, ombies can only go so long before they starve to death.

Join the Blackwater Company. But if I fail on a zombie hunting mission, I heard human flesh isn't that different from pork =D

Well OBVIOUSLY team up with Chuck Norris, Mr. T, Harry Potter, and Samuel Jackson to beat all the zombies to death with our fists. And for Harry magic. And for Chuck his stare.

Equip my self with armor, flamethrowers activated by fingers twitching, and chainsaw hands, and then GET INFECTED.

I want to burn(pun not intended) an image of the most terrifying thing ever into the cortex of survivors, before being put down by the very hand of god for qoute, "being a cheap dick".

but on the Right side; Gather a few like-minded people, raid gun stores, butcher humans for use of distractions, Create armor out of various objects(Chainmail,fencing, car doors,stop signs, hubcaps Etc.), hot wire cars strapped with weapons, and survive in hopes of making a small "passable *Eden-style" town which grows to a country IF things quiet down(10% chance, 90% chance of humanity ending.)



(*By Eden I'm referring to the fact that Eden was a safe-haven compared to anywhere else, not that it was paradise.)

Rathlin Island is a small island near me only accesbile by sea, has a small population and has lots of birds for hunting, sheep for wool and meat and of course fishing. All I have to do is get there, which with a zombie apocolypse going on is easier said than done.

Oh goody! Grab my just in case disaster kit (I got a wyd 08 bag with alot of survival type things so I just added to it). My cricket bat, some food, my phone, 'cade myself in my house (There's alot of things that can be piled up against the doors). Ring my friends and family to see if they're okay and I'm not just seeing the green man with blood on his mouth on my front lawn with an axe in the back. search my radio, after half an hour grab my ds (It may be the zompocalypse but pappa needs his fix), grab the keys, get the car, grab my surviving mates (And anyone else), go to the mall (Watch out for those pesky photographers) and hold a battle royale against the undead, block it all up, have a drink and wait for all this to blow over. Although if video games have taught me anything I'll need my camera (for pp duh), three other people and possibly some gardening equipment.
