What Would you do if there was a Zombie Apocalypse?

hey, sure, if I have full control of who comes and goes.

The last thing a band of survivors needs though is inter-group stress because one person is a life long, die hard, super annoy-you-in-the-face vegetarian and wont let you hunt the deer you need.

Or the mist scenario...

compared to the zombie combat training that I picked up?

If you have guns, a shitload of canned foods and provisions, what kind of training would you need?

Having the right people by your side and in the right numbers, the old or very young would hinder you, as would that guy who's arrogant and has a tendency to get people killed, not to mention the woman who freezes in fear.

It'd be like camping, if you have some basic gear and knowledge.

How about going to the Zoo and making a stand there?

well, I imagine I would be more of a danger to myself or those around me if I were using a gun, as I've never held one.

I also don't see the advantage of barricading oneself in a city where you are surrounded by the zombies. Even with big sliding metal doors, modern buildings aren't really built to be siege proof.

A forrested environment is really the better place, that or by a coast, if you have access to a boat.

I'd do OK in the wilderness. I would have guns and lots of canned goods, plus I know how to hunt and fish. The hardest part for most would be what to do with the animal after killing it. Most people dont know how to skin, gut and clean a twelve point buck deer, or even clean a fish.

I agree with the boat.

You could get totally overwhelmed in a forest, the only reason I think it works here is that, pretty much anywhere in Canada, you can drive for 45 min to an hour and be somewhere where there are no people for a kilometer. Just play the odds then. Don't zombies tend to group where there are people?

I had that thought, but as I said, I have a welding machine like right outside. I could weld all doors shut, and keep one chained heavily so I could come and go.

Fair enough, it is putting a lot of faith in the doors and chains. And depending on how long the zombies live, you would have to go in and out, and you couldn't chain the door when you are gone, or I guess you could with a lock, but then it is harder to get back in.

I could probably hazard a fish, but I'm just as lost with hunting and cleaning animals as I am with guns.

My thoughts, however, are that I could pick up the hunting and cleaning faster than the fighting, while you might not have that much of a chance to learn how to kill zombies.

I wasn't talking about a large wooded area near a major metropolis, but the deep woods, far away from cities, like you mentioned.

Going off of fiction, Zombies want to consume [human] life, so they go where humans are.

Unfortunately I was raised around hunting, I was taught at an early age how to shoot and maintain firearms, as well how to gut and clean a deer, even how to cook it over a fire. So I guess we'd do OK together? haermm

If you can swing a blunt object or hack with a machete, you can fight zombies. This is going on the grounds that they're the traditional slow/akward moving type.

If they happen to be the fast, fierce and agile types seen in the Dawn of the Dead remake, you're probably ****ed and should just run to the hills and hope for the best.

Mhm. Machete FTW. Anything to destroy the brain.

Surefire zombie repellent. Post for zombie-free zones.

And it never needs reloading or misfires.

I'd take an aluminum baseball bat though.

Machete would have a faster rate of recovery, can be dual-wielded and you have a cutting edge.

Ideally, have two machetes and a bat strapped on your back for crowd control.
