Hey Pandas, What Would You Do If A Zombie Apocalypse Had Started? (Closed)

I have some experience with zombies here in the US, so I advise you get a red hat that says 'MAGA' so you can blend in with them. And don't worry, the last thing they want is brains.

It hasn't? I assumed we were in the initial stages.

I live in Florida, so the zombies wouldn't stand a chance against Florida Man. The rest of us probably wouldn't even notice an apocalypse.

I'd be the best damned zombie I could be!

Oh my God I’ve thought about this for a long time, mainly because I love the concept and of course games like Resident Evil and all related movies.

Alright, first would be to stock pile weapons that don’t really require ammunition; samurai swords (which I actually already own), machetes, large knives that could be reinforced into spears, etc.

Stock pile gasoline and get the hell out of the city, don’t have a car? Steal one from the dead. S**t is going down anyway.

Now, I’m Canadian and live in Ontario so I would move way the hell up north. Find some solid structure that could be further reinforced and during the warmer periods have a garden for food, also plenty of hunting for meat. With the winter months those undead bastards don’t have blood properly flowing and will likely freeze. Bam. Safe months. Also good for freezing meat and bringing warm clothes in the beginning is essential packing, key point.

Find and recruit other survivors for both companionship and helping hands for a “village” community.

Places like big grocery stores would be ONLY the first couple stops, or maybe go back later to see what can be re-salvaged after thoroughly making sure it’s safe. Those places are ridiculously hard to reinforce due to the giant glass windows and entrances.

Ideally, take out a farm or country warehouse . Destroy all staircases and have rope ladders or something to that extent. Make a hole in the roof for smoke to escape makeshift fire pits for both food and warmth.

Jesus… I could go on…

Water:
There is an underground reservoir under my property and we have a well, so I'm good for water.
Food:
A visit to the local shops to gather all the fruits and vegetables I can. There is farmland just the other side of the woods so I would use that for crops. But crops take time to grow so I would also have to stock up on long life foods.
I live in a relatively rural area, so I would go into town and attempt to capture and kill a zombie. I would then give the meat to my neighbour saying I 'scavenged it from the butchers'. I need to establish if it is edible and what the effects are. I would probably continue to feed my neighbour for a few months to see if there are any long term effects. If there are, I need to find a source of protein. There is a lot of deer, but I kind of like them so, maybe rabbits, squirrel & wood pigeon?
Defence:
Down to the nearest builders merchants, grab as many nails, screws, and tools as possible. A second visit (and probably third and forth) for wood and other materials. Due to location I should have plenty of time to establish and secure a perimeter. Caltrops and the sort to injure and breaks legs and feet to reduce/eliminate mobility of any hostiles.
Guns are few and far between in the UK, so I would have to adapt tools to use as weapons.
Power: Nothing to be done about that, I'll have to go without.

At some point I'd have to go down the library and get some books to read. Start with the useful 'How to...' ones before turning to fiction to cope with the boredom.
Then just wait it out until I pass.

Give up

Head to my friend's. remote, self sufficient hill top farm. it's also a gun club. We'll be fine

Get bitten and turn into a Zombie. Currently, that's the better option.

Pray.

Well, I'm Brazilian so my anwser might be a bit diferent but let's go.
My house would not provide a good defense so I'd get my siblings, our pets and myself to the research lab my siblings work into. Is close to our house and to the three big grocery stores of the city.
My brother and sister could raid the stores while I went to the city central area (which is also close to both the building and our house) and get meds, weapons (both firearms and not - they sell firearms to Farm owners and fishermen, both of which the city I live is Full of), and probably gardening tools.
Go back to building, which is narrow, five floors and Glass entrance. Destroy the stair that lead from the ground floors to the first one, which would give us a high, hard to acess place (keep a hand stair to get up ir down If needed).
Use the tools, seeds and everything to plant, the wide Glass widows would give enough light to It.

If we did It right, we might survive for longe enough to elaborate a better plan

1. Never give up or lose hope, stay positive

2. Gather all friends and family, if possible and safe to do so

3. Set up a defensive base, an old castle etc.

4. Allocate each person missions/purpose within group

5. Get all necessary supplies and tools

6. Try to establish forms of communication with other survivors

7. Ensure a counsel is set up with rules/laws to ensure the continued efficiency of community

Well, if we’re talking regular walkers, I’d probably travel up north. I mean, their decomposing bodies probably would freeze before they got to Alaska unless they died with snow gear, unless that happens I’ll most likely be safe

I'd get bombs and bomb everything after i looted and live on a boat till the zombies die.

Go find Brad Pitt (world war z)

First, I would probably not even notice for a month because I'm extremely oblivious and spend 98% of my time reading. Honestly, I probably would go shopping with a Zombie and still pay, or go to a restaurant and tip the Zombie Waiter/Waitress.
But once I realized I wouldn't mind at all and would survive a few months probably. I'd never be the main character in a Zombie Apocolypse movie or book. If it was a book it'd go something like this:
"Day 45: The Zombies have taken over most of the town, but I have found shelter in an abandoned Library. The librarian has been Zombified but she isn't much of a nuisance, we have regular talks.
There is enough food to last me a while, but if I run out, I will resort to eating the pages of the books as I read them."
And that would be the extent of my life in the Zombie Apocolypse because right after this entry I would either be bitten by the librarian and become a BookZombie or get Ink poisoning from all the books I'd eaten.
Yup, my life is interesting. :)

I'd put my experience with mobile games to good use and take up gardening.

A: Go to some rural/mountainous place with nobody around for miles so the zombies would wear their bodies down to be able to get to you

B: Get a suit of armor and use that

C: go to my school. It's very intruder-proof, therefore making it also zombie-proof.

In any case, if anyone dies, definitely dismember their corpse because then they're not (as) dangerous

I would go to my friends house she has lots of weapons😂

My hubs bought me a zombie apocalypse preparedness book/ manual. Half as a joke and half because I was talking to him about what would we do if it happened? The book is interesting. Then I’d make sure I had a book on foraging for foods, safe plants and mushrooms to eat, get a few rifles and ammo to last for a while. Find knives to make a stabbed tool for killing them! Save the bullets for nasty greedy humans and shooting protein rich animals! Then make sure I have water purification tablets enough for a year, to use whole I was out foraging . Water is heavy, so I’d carry an empty container for water sources that are not clean flowing. Make sure I had veggie seeds and grow lights for gardening . Planters etc and make sure I had a year round garden. Get a good dog train for protection and companionship! Go to D***s and buy up as much as possible, freeze dried food, and those survival containers that had three years of food in them, just add water. Trash bags, a machete, extra clothes and coats so I was as bite proof as possible when out. A hockey or home plate baseball mask to avoid neck bites. Cut my hair very short so there was nothing to grab by a zombie or a nasty human. Batteries, books, a ham radio. Wood to enforce our home, at he windows and reinforce our fence and home perimeter. Also, stockpile medications and emergency supplies , as a former nurse, got to make sure I have that stuff in case one of us needs stitches! Make sure my small SUV is bar protected from zombie arms. Reinforce windows grill etc with fencing wire. Barbed wire, cow bells, trash pick glass bottles, a small washing machine that. Is hand cranked for our dirtier clothes! Sunscreen, waterless shampoo, not dry shampoo but waterless. It works great and no residue. Use it as body wash also. Wood! Lots of wood for when the power grid went down.
Dog food and supplies for my new dog. We have one, but he is a little one, fierce, but still small and older. Teeth might pull out with a good bite from him! Make sure the dog had a bite proof outfit for when he was out. Shoes and socks, shoe laces, steel toed boots for us. Mind you, I’d start gathering things the moment the medical community started whispering about what’s going on as far as what causes the zombie virus! If hire in about 6 months, I could get it all, before people started dying from it and turning. Oh yes, a camp stove and fuel, and a heavy duty tent and camping supplies. Whatever we couldn’t get, we would scavenge as we could. Certain things like medical, food and water clothes take priority. Whew! Is that a good enough start to living apocalyptic style? Also, a few pistols and ammo to carry when out. 😄😄😄😄😄💗💗💗
