Health Lets hear your 'Zombie Plan'

[Malifice]

So when the apocalypse comes, whats your plan? I reckon this might come in handy:

My old plan consisted of a fighting withdrawal at speed to Karrakatta Army barracks, armed with a pair of bolt cutters to steal a M113A1 APC:

Used to drive them back in the day; good pieces of kit.

Seal myself in with as many Jerry cans as I could get my hands on filled with deisel (and water), and ram raid the local Armory, grab a crap load of F88 Steyrs and F89 LSW Machine guns. Rinse and repeat at a local supermarket for food. Perhaps hit up Swanbourne barracks for the body armor and hit up the SAS Armory.

Then Id gun out into the outback, looking for hot Swedish backpackers to throw into the APC, and start my own zombie free utopia.

Now in London, and have to rethink it.

And before you laugh, the CDC in the US had some pointers as well:

The 2011 CDC warning about zombie apocalypse is a blog post by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that used Zombie Apocalypse scenario to raise public awareness on preparations for the emergency situations.[1] In a blog post named Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse made on CDC website, the Director of the CDC's Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response, Rear admiral Dr. Ali S. Khan says: "Take a zombie apocalypse for example. That's right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e a-p-o-c-a-l-y-p-s-e. You may laugh now, but when it happens you'll be happy you read this, and hey, maybe you'll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency."

Anyone got any good tips or pointers for survival when the zombie apocalypse comes?

I'm pretty safe at my own residence for a good while. Enough food, weaponry and ammunition to last as long as I would actually care to last. Not sure I would want to survive for too long. How many zombies and former neighbors can you shoot before the amusement begins to wear off?

You could join the crazies and build yourself a fortress with a large harem of women so that you could repopulate the earth. Even then, I think being surrounded by a horde of bitchy child-bearing women and screaming babies would force me to join in league with the zombies before too long.

And why not? Become a zombie, hunt humans and eat their brains. Ya know? Play the other side of the ball and see if that's any fun.

Fortress home?

Not sure id want to be staying in a populated metropolitan area.

If you cant beat them, join them... intresting.

What i was going to say. Being in a position where you have nothing to lose is way more comfortable. The opposite is what my nightmares are made from.

(Seriously had a dream last week that people from work turned into vampire zombies - it woke me up)

I'm putting my 13 yo in charge. He's killed millions of them on the xbox360.

Isn't it a rule that you have to be held up in shopping mall?

That book is a great read though, i'm looking forward to see what they can do with a movie.

In terms of finer strategies other then getting a shitload of weapons and food it really depends on the zombie. Day/night, braindead/intelligent and the biggest factor of all if they slowly stumble around with their arms up mumbling "brainnnnnnnnnns" or whether they are capable of a full sprint. If its the later make sure you found out where Usain Bolt was before the outbreak.

 

[frantelle]

Also grab as many shoelaces as I can. In a post zombie outbreak world it will become the new currency of exchange between humans

Fast zombies vs slow ones...

Might call for a Plan A and a Plan B....

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Throw everything at them

 

[Cleavy]

lots of plants which shoot projectiles

 

[Dont be a lemon]

I'll move in with Hawk Dork.

 

[Malifice]

How smart are they?

Reckon a deception plan might work... you know dress up like one and shamble around the streets?

 

[Magpie_Magic]

chill in the house.

time off work, ftw.

 

[FIGJAM]

What's Melbourne's version of the Winchester?

Run, grab a car, and drive, drive drive!

Steal Semi-Trailer, Drive to somewhere Devoid of life (Adelaide on a friday night), you would be comfortable hitting 10-20 zombies without any real damage either

I dont think digging in would be a great idea, In Australia you wouldn t be able to replenish clean drinking water for a number of years for a sizable group to defend said compound.

Hey Asio, Skip to the next paragraph!

Spoiler

Being a Junior Pyro Enthusiast i imagine i could make some mean home-made trip explosives, however i dont think i would be able to rig them to explode, probably line the outside of the compound with some sort of flammable fluid and just chuck a molly out

Prison would be the best idea for a bunker, rifle's, built to keep people in/out, nice big razor wire fences

The roads are probably blocked.

My plans assume the roads are twisted piles of metal.

Hence the tank/ motorcycle.

 

[Igloo]

Go the the CSIRO (or animal health laboratory, pretty sure its the CSIRO) which is near my house. Go up the big tower on it, take food and drink, find a gun, sit facing the door waiting to see if zombies come to get me.

Also, if some bastard comes to get me, or take my spot, I'll get lots of hypodermic needles, containing the many diseases at the CSIRO, and inject it into them. (possibly not, as I might get the disease too, and also possibly too insane)

All of that would be a last resort though. As said, it would depend on the type of zombies.
Im sure the government would bomb the first place there is an outbreak, to stop it right there.

This also proves we are in no danger.

My thoughts with the APC.

You can seal yourself in that bad boy at night and there is no way they are getting in there. Plus wrecked cars and the like are no obstacle, and ram raiding is a cinch.

I dont think digging in would be a great idea, In Australia you wouldn t be able to replenish clean drinking water for a number of years for a sizable group to defend said compound.

Water is the killer. Partiularly in WA where I established my last plan.

You need to get far enough away from populated metropoitan areas, and yet have a reliable and sustainable amount of water to drink.

Prison would be the best idea for a bunker, rifle's, built to keep people in/out, nice big razor wire fences

Gettin in is going to be a bitch, if the Prison is already zombie infested, but it is probably your best fortified structure in a metropolitan area.

 

[Upgrayedd]

The Desert is probably a great idea, Im sure the zombie bodies would probably rot walking through the desert for 2-3 weeks if your able to get to the middle of nowhere

 

[TheStinger]

Find Woody Harrelson. Stay with him.

 

[Cynic]

The first step is always to seek safety in an open area and consider your options. Zombie outbreaks can be sudden and immediately rushing towards populated areas would be a recipe for being eaten.

Second step would be trying to find other survivors, there is safety in numbers to a degree and being alone would be incredibly idiotic in my opinion.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Get Buffy

My plan in the event of a Zombie Apocolypse is as follows:

1. Not being black.
2. Not being black!!!
3. Not being a c*nt.
4. Not being too nice.
5. Having some sort of sexual tension with a female who I previously knew/dated and it resulting in an internal struggle that will ensure I survive as long as possible in order to resolve it.
6. Get out of big cities.
7. Do NOT go to the damn airport.
8. Do NOT go to the damn underground.
9. Do NOT go to sleep.

I reckon I'd live for a little bit.

 

[Crimson Azure]

It really depends if we’re talking about the fast athletic "super zombies" (I am legend) or the more slow slothful zombies (ROTLD - brains, brains!).

Can we please have a "zombie standard" set & I'll be able to provide a bit more detail on my plans.
