    My plan would be “go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over”

    Buy a lot of toothpaste and toothbrushes.
    And I would ask those hordes of zombie to brush their teeth before they try to bite me as I would not want to get sick and maybe contagious right before I’m eaten alive.

        I guess the better question is: why? To what end? Live out some doomer prepper fantasy? The world would be right fucked and you’d be out in the middle of nowhere by yourself which you could do right now without the zombies.

          That’s a really good question. I know “zombie apocalypse” isn’t well defined, but it usually indicates a complete and total destruction of society. Even once the zombies are gone, there’s no civilization to return to. It’s not like a hurricane, where people start to rebuild.

          Considering the post-post-apocalypse, I’m not sure it’s a world I would want to be part of.

          I mean, you could try, but eventually someone will find you, probably arrest you, and tear down your home

        A cabin in the woods when there’s zombies out there? You’d never sleep! I’d take my chances trying to find a compound.

    Hole up in Costco for two weeks or so.

    The rotting corpses who only hunger for flesh are going to be eaten by animals and bugs. Because they don’t have regular ways to maintain water balance for muscles they will atrophy and become immobile. They will pretty much be a non threat while I have plenty of food and shelter to last me.

      I remember Neil DeGrasse Tyson explaining away zombies. Really took the immersion out of any zombie movies. Basically what you said, but more of it.

      The power grid is usually one of the first things to go during a zombie apocalypse. Only the shelf stable food will be usable after a few days. That being said, there’s plenty of space in the warehouse to hole up.

    Stock up on canned food, ammo, batteries, fuel etc. Go to a cabin in the wilderness far away from everything. Check that I’ve got the essentials, realize I forgot something. Go back to town to pick it up. Go back to cabin, go back to town to print out some guides on how to preserve food, go back to cabin.

    I’m going to assume the zombies are the result of a microbial/viral infection reanimating a cadaver. Those muscles aren’t going to stay functional for long, because the body is dead, systems have stopped etc.

    I’ll just get enough water and canned food to survive a week. Just lock the doors and stay inside until the zombies outside stop moving.

      I would go with 2-3 month, but after first one they shouldn’t be all that dangerous. Zombies don’t work unless they are of magical kind.

    Get gun, fishing rod and tackle, salt water filters, and those mre buckets bible thumpers are always selling on tv. Go to the marina and steal a keelboat. Dab on all the land lubbers still on shore.

      Yeah it really depends on a lot of factors, exactly what your city / suburb is like, and the nature of the crisis.

      After a week or so of supply problems, a major city would be bereft of food. Unless everyone is dead, there would be a lot of desperate, nutty people.

      On the other hand, as someone who lives in the country, the easy food here would get low to the ground real fucking quick even with just the local population. Like I can catch a feed of fish, trap rabbits, or even shoot a kangaroo, but these food sources would disappear in my area with even just a dozen people actively harvesting them.

      I think that if I’m going to be hungry, I would definitely prefer to be so in the country just because at least you can get away from other people.
