How would you survive the Zombie Apocalypse?

Archive: 112 posts


Ripped from the "How would you die?" thread.
Discuss away!

I would stay in my top floor and log the occasional grenade out my window. Not to mention I would have a 50-story reinforced steel house.

heh, I have the best plan, it's easy, Fly to Alaska, or Nunavut, (Canadian Territory) when the first infection is reported. (Less populated area) and simply kill the few people there if they are infected, and take all the supplies for myself, simple.2010-12-14 21:54:00

Since there would be no reason to survive if I'd be the last one alive because I don't know a **** about scientific stuff, I'd probably go all rambo till I get bitten.

But if I wasn't alone, I would probably not stay home, since my town is populated and creepy. I'd go somewhere High, Big and not too far from a good food store or something like that. Then, I'd find people in the day, and get food and weapons, and stay home night, in a nice safe place.

It actually all depends on HOW the Zombie apocalypse starts!
There are four main ways for it to happen.
Satanic ritual
Alien virus
Biological warfare
Nuclear bombs (Sometimes)

Each one has it's own survival tips.
But i'm pushing for Biological...

So here goes...
I would get to my friend dalton and my other friend shane, we would weld some spikes and metal plating on to shane's car and drive down to the nearest gun store.
Hopefully not too many people thought of that idea first.
We would stock up on shotgun ammo, and handgun ammo, and try and find a place with shovels (Lop off their heads)
Next, we would head for any place that sells food.

Me and shane would gather only non-perishable food, while dalton take to the roof to scout for zombies, if there are zombies in the store, we would need to save ammo, thats where the shovels come in handy *Chop* done!

Now that we have food, we need a good way to fend off zombie bites in case they get too close!
We would head down to the kennewick gothic supply store and pick up some leather clothing, Because have you ever tried biting through leather!?
Now we are set!

We would head to our friend gabe's house, gabe has his dad's basement we could hide out in.
Plus, he has a backup generator! Just in case we wanna play some blackops while we wait for zombies.
That's how i would survive!

I've had my plan in my head ever since i saw my first zombie movie... most of the people int he movies are idiots who can't think of the basics before anything!!!

"Hurr duurr.... ima wear nothing but a tanktop and jeans! OH LOOK! A MACHINEGUN!!! HERP DERP!!!!"

Machine guns are only necessary if theres a massive mutant zombie!

I posted 7 ways in which a zombie apocalypse would fail on the other thread, so basically... I'll wait a week or so on the top floor of a building, and wait for the zombies to deteriorate, or be eaten by natural predators

In the meantime, I'll be killing zombies on Gevurah22's latest piece of epic :The Fist of Craft Earth - Sackboy May Cry

What are long car trips for

Anyway surviving the zombie apocalypse would be easy, whether you want to survive is the hard part but that's another story.
All you need is metal and lot's of it. On that long car trip we narrowed the zombie apocalypse down to the three main areas of self defence, transportation and safe house.

Self Defence
Obviously zombies can't bite through metal, so protect yourself with it. A full suit of armour is great for protection but not so great for movement, try to get chain mail where you can. Don't go easy on the protection, make sure to cover every part of your body.

Guns are great for fighting of zombies but they're not always easy to find in a country like Australia. Pick them up where you can at places such as police stations and local army barracks. Do note, however, these are emergency only and that precious ammunition needs to be saved. Instead let's think back in time. Ideally you would pick up some swords from somewhere, hopefully they'll last you for the rest of the zombie apocalypse but don't get stingy with your weapons. If you can't find any swords there's an abundance of knives in almost every household, not to mention stores and businesses, swords would be better but knives will do fine.

Lastly, find a team and work together, four or five people is good.

Transportation
It's the zombie apocalypse, so pick whatever transport you want. A few things to note though, make sure you transport, can carry everyone in your team, has space to load supplies and has a fairly large fuel tank.

Once you've got your vehicle of choice knock out the windows, they're getting replaced with metal, bars or heavy duty mesh are good. While you at it put some extra locks on all the doors, here bigger is better. You don't want any zombies getting into your vehicle.

You may as well pick up a few vehicles, just in case.

Safe House
You need a place to relax, sleep, keep supplies, etc. Make sure it's made out of metal or thick concrete, wood is not an option. Something like a big shed or airport hanger would be great. If it doesn't already have one, put up a big fence around it. Make sure to line the top of the fence with razor wire, spikes whatever you can find, remember, zombies can climb.

This fence will act as an air lock but instead of air it's zombies. It just saves you from having to fight off zombies when you trying to get into your safe house.

That's my plan, though, I don't remember all of it.

It was a long car trip

First: get a basic melee weapon, like a pipe or a wrench.
Second: If the apocalipse has already started, raid a police station (guns stores aren't common here, and let's consider that the police run away or got killed. Raiding the army would be a harder but more profitable option)
Get weapons, mostly shotguns, assault rifles, pistols and grenades. (which are the weapons used by police/army around here)
Also get body armor.

Now here comes the hard part. Try to get someone who could fly a plane. (my grandfather would be an option, even though he hasn't piloted for a long time.
If all my family, friends were dead, I would try to fly a plane. Don't have an idea, but hell, I'm going to die anyway if I stand still...

Interesting scenario: considering that I (miraculousy) learned to fly a plane and that (miraculousy) some of my LBPC friends are alive and I can keep contact with them, I would try to rescue as much as I can. Then fly to a remote location. (an island in the middle of the pacific would be an option)

I even have an imaginary list of "people from LBPC to rescue in case of zombie apocalipse".

Army Barracks are a good place to hold up. They are always stocked with MRE'S and the weapons are just common sense.


Get weapons, mostly shotguns, assault rifles, pistols and grenades. (which are the weapons used by police/army around here)
Also get body armor.
Number one rule in any combat situation is "Always Travel light" Yes they would be a comfort to have, but at what cost to your stamina and rate of movement.

Am I on that list GDN? :kz:

Anyways, me and dad planned this for like a whole month. Since he's a bit of a..uh gun lover..we're stocked on guns. We also have food. We would then drive/walk to my grandparent's home, which is in the middle of nowhere, near a spring/lake (can't remember), and has good farmland.
I'm not crazy like the rest of you, not planning to put on battle paint then run out into the middle of a horde with a dull shovel and a shotgun with recoil that would probably break a bone or two :kz:

Well, I would carry a primary weapon, a sidearm and two-four grenades. Sometimes you gotta sacrifice movement for safety. (I wouldn't mind a jeep or van to help carry the heat though)

Dead People can float, and they don't drown.
I can't resist imagining a zombie floating as a log on the ocean, screaming and coming towards me with a "self-propulsion". But you're right, they could walk underwater or *gasp* swim to the island. Well, sniper rifles help to keep them away here. But an escape plan is always good here. (the plane would need to be ready to take off). How would they find me in the middle of the ocean anyway?

Pfft.... I have a 3 step fool-proof plan. Step 1. Gather hoards of zombies into one place. Step 2. Whip out my handy dandy calculator and divide by zero. Then throw it into the middle of the hoard. Step 3. Watch and laugh as a black whole rips the fabric of space and time, thus sucking in the ugly zombies. Repeat if necessary.2010-12-15 00:34:00

The other thing about zombies, they have unlimited patience. Think about how many people are in the world vs. how much the world is covered in water. Chances are a great portion of the dead will somehow wander into the ocean and drift only to end up on YOUR island. I would recommend an elevated and secluded chunk of rock that is only accessible via plane or helicopter. Hunt and grow your food and collect your fresh water from untainted lakes and streams.....I need a vacation

And GDN, that is why I picked a cold snowy place, zombies are very frail, and weak, so they freeze easily, much simpler science than the implications of dividing by zero.

I can't believe it... it's happened again?!

I was the dude who brought up the zombie apocalypse in the "How would you die?" thread.

And the idea is "How will you succumb to the zombie apocalypse?" - not "How will you survive?" ;
Because there is no survival or escape from the zombie apocalypse.. the most you can hope for is the occasional hour or two of respite where you are not in perpetual fear of being eaten alive - before the zombie horde manages to shuffle after you and catch up.

In any Zombie flick there are millions upon millions of zombies - and only a handfull of survivors (who have just as much to fear from each other as they do from the zombies) - so the chances are more than likely, that at some point - you will eventually become a zombie.

The question was - how does that happen?

(All gun shops will already be raided - supermarkets and army barracks controlled by violent looting gangs - so pretty much, what you've got in your house is all you'll have to live on for the rest of your life - unless you're willing to brave the streets, where there'll be more zombies than you have ammo {certain death})

I love how GDN would rescue people off the Internet without rescuing his family...

I personally had already started planning. I would drive to London and rescue Pixie whilst my friends were setting up our base, We'd save certain members of our town and other closer towns, then we'd kick *** and drink booze! And have lots of people to feed to the zombies in case they get in.

Hi-jack a sea-worthy yet with in yours means to operate vessel. Stock it with a crew you can depend on. Make plans for every contingency. Make supply runs to land with adequate information and with extra caution. NEVER, NEVER!!!! let an infected(or even possibly infected) person on the vessel. Not even if its your grandma carrying cute babies carrying kittens.2010-12-15 18:46:00

Then sadly, I would have to kill them. I would keep a shotgun next to the pilot seat all the time.
But I would check if they were infected before rescuing them... Unless the virus was latent, then how would I know?

Ever since I saw I am Legend I have spent hours planning my survival.

Here we go...

I would collect a radio, Portible TV, a shotgun (with ammo duh...), 7 grenades , lots of food and drinks and my PSP and DS. Then I will get into my attic (which is very difficult to get into) and camp out there for a while, checking on the tv and radio for survivers. But if Irun out of food and drinks, would probily shoot myself. Rather that than starve to death.

There you go, I will be releasing a book on how to survive on the 22nd December 2012.

I, of course, already have a plan to survive the zombie apocalypse.

Much depends on how the outbreak plays out, how much prior warning we get, or if it's a complete sudden "Million zombies on your doorstep" scenario.

Providing there is enough prior warning, I would drive (or if fuel/road access is a problem - cycle) - to get a ferry (or steal a boat) to the small island where my dads side of the family have a farm stead. - it's surrounded by an electric fence, and has it's own wind turbine - they also have shotguns.
From here I could create a secure perimeter, and be self sufficient for food and power. And as it is an island and has quite a low population, it should be easy enough to pick off most of the zombie inhabitants. It also has a large whiskey distillery and vast peat bog - so fuel won't be a problem.

The most dangerous part of the plan will be the journey to the island, which would be made into an exciting film

The virus slows down the decomposition of the body. You may have to wait for a very long time.

zombie apocalypse is numerically impossible...
Assuming Romero, Night of the Living Dead, style slow shuffling zombies have risen from the dead to consume the living, it would be numerically impossible for them to muster in sufficient numbers to allow them to take over the world. Bare with me now, assuming that every dead body buried within the last year, which is rough 64,579,200, were to rise on night one as zombies. Now that?s assuming none were cremated or were so mangled that it would make reanimation impossible, crushed in an auto accident for instance. This also assumes that the zombies rose in uniform numbers all around the world, which also isn?t realistic as mortality rates vary greatly from developed to developing nation. All that aside, we?re just taking of about 9.6 zombies for every 1,000 persons. Now assuming all the undead horde rose up at the same time at night and takes everyone by surprise. In the process let?s say on average each zombie killed two people or about 129,154,400, within the first 12 hours. By the second wave of deaths, following 12 hours, people are no longer being taken off guard and being to fight back, but since they don't quite know how to kill them another two persons are killed per zombie.
At this point, roughly a day into the rising about 258,316,800 people have died, with no zombies causalities. By this point there?s still about 996 persons per zombie. Now not all survivors will want to or be capable of fighting back, so let?s just assume only one in 50 people wants to and is capable of fighting back, which is roughly 19 (rounding down) people per zombie.
In a worst case scenario let?s say that everyone who engaged the zombies died fighting and in the process eliminated all the zombies in the process. To makes things even more grave and realist, lets say another 21 persons per zombie were killed the subsequent fighting. That?s 44 killed per zombie or 2,841,84,800. Now though this is a huge number in a very worst case scenario, but considering that something like over 3.8 billion people survived its by no means a Day of the Dead style apocalypse. And yes I?m aware that some people would turn to zombies after being attacked, but as you can see from Dawn of the Dead that takes time and in the mean time all the original zombies would have been large eliminated and any new zombies would be killed either before they turned or in much smaller numbers by people who by this point would be quite good at eliminating them. A much more possible scenario for a level 4 outbreak leading to an end of the world would involved the infected instead of an undead rising.

Now IF we think the subject more zombie movie like perspective there is 5 loopholes...

1. Dumb, slow-moving human are tasty
Believe it or not, animals adore our flesh, one thing that prevent them to do that is, we can pull out a shotgun an blow them out to the kingdom come. Don't trust your dogs, they'll may take a chunk of your legs when you become a zombie. You may despise maggots, but they're nature's first line of defense against zombies.

2. They'll explode in hot climate
Just three days after peoplee become zombies, they'll get fat. Gas will accumulate inside the bowel and finally explode. Guts will come out, the spine will not have enough support and finally snap after a few hundreds yard of walking. They'll just turn into useless heaps of rotten flesh. Sorry for the gory description....but that's just the way it is.

3. They'll become block of ice in the winter
Zombies are simply living deads and don't have the ability to maintain body temperature. After a really cold night in December, they'll just frozen...and surviving human can have the leisure to smash them before the spring thaw.

4. We love to shoot
There are 15 millions of people with hunting license in US alone. Deep inside people may have the desire to shoot annoying members of society, just be honest, do you feel a little relieved, if you can shoot your once-annoying zombiefied neighbor, Mr. Phillips. Zombie apocalypse will be an exciting hunting season for many people.

5. They don't feel pain
Pain is good, it keeps us intact and safe. Without pain, zombies will jump down the ravine without a second thought, when chasing for fresh brain.

Of course, all scientificaly accurtate examination into the zombie apocalypse means absolutely nothing if it is brought about by a magical curse, either from the Mono-Theistic God of the Abrahamic religions, or the original Voodoo snake god lwa Damballah Wedo (Zombi).

Only very recently in Zombie history have we postulated that it would happen "like an infectious outbreak" - an idea first proposed I beleive in the "I Am Legend" novel, and then used as inspiration for "Night of The Living Dead" (Romero admits to having read this book prior to making NotLD);

In short... none of your reasons sound 'reasonable' if "A Wizard Did It!" (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AWizardDidIt)

you are forgetting my god powers and list of willing human sacrifices.
using my god powers i can raise an army of the undead.
depending on the number of sacrifices i recive i can raise an army consisting of all dead ppl from all history and outnumber the living human race at 25 dead to 1 living.
also note that my willing human offerings have signed a legaly binding contracts allowing me to eat their hearts etc.

Instead of heading to the gun store (either already empty or people are fighting each other for weapons), I'd head to Lowe's. You could quickly fashion some pretty deadly things out of Lowe's inventory. So I'd make something that I could swing fast and could cut easily. Next step would be to get ahold of a big truck. Anything that could easily travel offroad if needed. MPG doesn't matter. Grab a generator, some various feuls and head out of town. Just far enough to be 10 miles from any public building. Not very hard around here. Set up camp. At daybreak everyday head out to scour for supplies, food, guns and ammo, survivors, random people needing me to risk my life in a ridiculous situation to save them. At night my girl and I could take turns sleeping. Eventually they would all die off and then we could pick out a really nice house to live in. LOL2010-12-28 01:55:00

Well, if you are bitten by a zombie, you become a zombie.

But, if a zombie is bitten by you, it becomes human.

Problem, zombies?

to try to find an island with no human contact until you went on it that way you can repopulate if you got a girl and live your life until all the zombies decompose and become nothing more than bones.

Islands are the WORST place to run in a zombie invasion, they can breath underwater so you're screwed.

I've often discussed this with people, a lot of people seem to think prisons are a great place to set up camp - I agree. Existing zombies would already be penned up for your convenience, and plenty of strong walls and vantage points allow you to easily defend against zombies.

I would get my best friend and bust into my garden shed and find a shovel and a cricket bat, then we gather our gang and head off to the local pub to hide out - where much larks would be had.

Obviously when Shaun of the Dead did this loads of his mates died, but tbh they had a lot of fun before they were munched.

Seriously though it depends on the kind of zombies (like what josh said)
if they are 28 days later style zombies then your best hope is to isolate yourself for a few days before the zombies die of starvation (after all their only human )
but if they are like those immortal zombies that only die by decapitation then i will get a big london bus and prepare it like how SRT20DETDOG (was that right?) described, cos there would be loads of space to put food and weaponry, and also they have huge engines with equally huge gas tanks in order to be able to drive around for days on one tank.

Ok, new rule.

No-one would be able to drive anywhere during the Zombie Apocalypse.
Without maintenance and a constant flow of traffic - the roads would quickly deteriorate to be unusable. Plus they would be blocked with abandoned/burnt out vehicles etc. (unless you are currently in possession of a tank - but tanks use a lot of fuel)
Also, fuel would be a rare and precious commodity - having all been panic bought/stolen in the closing hours of mankinds last hurrah.

It's like you guys have never even *seen* a zombie film

Knife away for your first few minutes. Repair your windows if you have to. Why not, you get 10 points anyway.
Then pick up a gun off your household wall with the points you have collected from knifing.
After you reach a box very strange and unknown to you, open it up (With a fee of 900 points) and praise god you get the ray gun.
Go to the garage and turn on the power box so you can finally use your teleporter in the main hall.
(Don't forget to initiate the links to the teleporter which can be found in your bathroom(s))
Use to teleporter to teleport to your attic and upgrade your ray gun. (That hopefully you got.)
After you do, you'll be set for awhile. To be set longer, pick up a home gun and upgrade that as well.
You should be set for a long time. Though, don't be to glad, you won't last forever. :]

Is there like a smell or something that other zombies can sense on humans? Otherwise, wouldn't zombies be eating zombies?
If that is the case then I would kill the first zombie I was alone with and cover myself in zombie smell. (Remember, desperate times call for desperate measures!)
Then I would continue killing zombies in secret and using them to cover my scent. I would live among them, acting like I too, ate brains. When the time was right I would then learn how to pilot a jet and fly myself to Antartica and live in an igloo. Since there aren't many people that live there, there shouldn't be many zombies, right? If there were, thats why I would have my axe.
If I was never able to cover myself in zombie smell then I would run to the ocean and then try to swim to a deserted island.

My Theory is that they can "sense"- be it smell/hear/see or some extra sensory perception that zombies have (like a snake sensing a heartbeat from vibrations in the ground) - living flesh. This then gives them the bloodlust and they will chomp on it till the flesh is no longer living, then they lose inerest.
I'm not sure that the walking dead trick of covering yourself in zombie entrails would work.

Me and my friend actually go over this subject quite alot, which may serve useful when the time comes...
Anyway, I figure, that when a zombie apocalypse occurs I shall barricade myself in my school. I have everything I need there, weapons, perfect areas to barricade, the school is surrounded by chainlink fences with barbed wire at the top and there is a shop right down the road
But then again, if you watch Zombie movies, most of the time, the zombies never get to Australia.

Well I'm irish so odds are I wouldn't be able to get hold of a gun any time soon. I doubt that they'd reach me that quickly so I would gather everyone in my neighborhood. We'd get the kids into a room in the back and take knifes and any gardening utensils we could get our hands on. After the first wave of zombies we'd hopefully still be alive. We'd walk back down the street gathering as many people from the houses and collecting weapons. We'd wait until we reached the Secondary school near us which we would use as a base. We'd than raid as much food as we could. We'd need guns so using the chemicals we would attempt to make some sort of weapons. If we succeeded we would fight them off for as long as we could. We would then hope the government would supply weapons to us. Some time i'd hope the zombies would rot or die by diseases or something like that.2011-01-05 17:59:00

I don't get how this is a survival strategy?!

Within a short time the ice-cream would have melted, or you would have eaten it.
And of all the materials to protect yourself from zombies to choose from, I wouldn't say plastic would be the most trustworthy.

Is there any toilet facilities in your plastic ball?
if not it'd get pretty smelly in there pretty quickly.

Being a zombie myself, my best advice is to aim for the head. So, what better way than to get some high frequencies churning out of an amplified speaker system and popping their heads off like balloons.

OK, new strategy.
Realizing the world is in danger, I would have to don my Super Hero Dude costume once again. I would fly to the top of the world, and yell down to the zombies.
'There is no reason for violence! Why fight when we can party?'
I would then part the clouds, to reveal a paradise for zombies. A land where there is partying, nonstop. The zombies pleased, would leave Earth and party. I would be hailed as a god, but realizing power would corrupt, I retire from my position as Super Hero Dude and give it to my sidekick, Lame Villain Gal. I would then live in peace in a giant mansion that would eventually get blown up by my arch-nemesis...Crazy Guy: Doopz479!
