View Full Version : Zombie Plan

So I was watching some good 'ol Red Vs. Blue and I came across this one:
Planning To Fail (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Nddzf7kzjhI)
It's talking about zombie plans and shit, and it got me thinking. 'If some sort of zombie plague thing happened, what would be my zombie plan be?'
Assuming my family and friends and shit are dead/zombies this is what I would do.
First I would quickly look around to see if there were any other survivors, but I wouldn't look that long because I live in a city and it would probably be full of zombies. After my quick search I would want to get my hands on some guns, I don't know where there are any gun stores, but I do know where there are several police stations, so I would go to one and check it out. Hopefully there would be a police officer or someone there. So after that I would try to get my hands on some camping gear and any warm clothing I could find then get the fuck out of the city. After that I don't really know, it all depends on the situation. If I had survivors with me we could probably work whatever out next, if not I would stay near a highway and hope to see other people pass by.
so whats your zombie plan? And just remember:
"There are two kinds of people in the world, those who have a zombie plan prepared for when the zombies take over the earth, and those who don't. We call those last people dinner."
Haha I remember there was a thread about this right when I joined where I made my first post in.
But yeah my zombie plan would be to get alot of ammo and guns. Water and canned food that will hopefully last me a couple of months and a tent or something that will provide shade. Then ill just get on top of some roof like 3 or so stories high and just wait it out.
I would say something more complicated since I read the zombie survival guide :cool: but I forgot most of it.

Yeah, this was on the old forums. Anyways, I would go to a gunshop and steal as many guns as I could probably could then steal a radio transmitter. Then I would steal a plane and land in Monterry, with the guns concealed. I would then drive to my aunt's house, kill the zombies (if there is any) then close off. The reason why I chose her house is becuase of its made of Concrete and Iron, and of course so are the gates. I would then radio Mexico's Air Force. Assuming they have a usable UH-60 I would get evac and join their military. If they don't, I would try to fill up a car with food, water, gas, and ammo. Then I would use some of the house's window Iron bars, then reinforce the windows on the car. Then I would travel to Fort Hood, or any other U.S Military Fort. I would then join the American Army, be a M1 driver and fight them off. But if all else fails, sucide.
I would go to my happy corner, and cry. That or go to my happy place.

Gather some close family and friends and move on into my high school. But first only with gather important supplies (weapons, food, guns(if I can get my hands on any) and other materials like blankets) Then I'd pull a Dawn of the Dead and block all the doors with cars (hopefully we have someone who can hotwire the other cars in the parking lot) It would be good reenforcement for an already barricade-like door. The only problem from then is the first floor windows, because there are a lot of them. Though they are tough already (being a school) and since there is a wood shop we could probably figure out a way to board them up.
The rest would be just to wait it out and make an escape plan.

i highly recommend reading the zombie survival guide. its pretty fucking enlightening.
anyways i've always hoped that the world would fall into ruin and become infested with zombies. seriously it would make life so much more interesting. like at the first sign of this i'd start stocking up on supplies at the warehouse that i conveniently own. you know like food, water, guns, ammo, clothing, gas, oil, tools, etc etc. pretty basic stuff. after all the hording is over i would search for survivors and start up a whole troop. start up a whole village and defend it. kind of like the whole mad max thing, just with zombies.
fuck man...just thinking about this makes my mind run wild with ideas.
p.s. little zombie fun fact: after the said corpse starts to rot it emits methane gas. so fire + zombie methane gas= explosion time =D

High school, eh? According to the zombie survival guide thats a bad idea. Zombies retain some of their memory and horde to the places they know people will be. I know the survival guide is questionable, but its the only thing we have to go off of.

Walmart , yeah its a big corporate blah blah whatever. But it is like the best place ever to be in case of a zombie attack.
You've got everything you need, weapons, entertainment, food and a huge roof.
A huge roof is one of the best features. First of all is for rescue , helicopters can see you. Second is for a second resort, just in case they break in on the inside the roof is really secure. And third, just in case it takes a long time for rescue or the apocalypse comes theres room to farm n'shit.

Assuming I had advance warning of the zombie apocalypse (which I would, having read the relevant section in the Zombie Survival Guide), I would search for, purchase, build a house on, and invite all my friends and family to a plateau of some kind. Zombies can't climb a ten-foot vertical incline, can they? We would then proceed to farm the land for food until reasonably certain that the outbreak had ended, even if it takes several generations. In my opinion its better than being eaten alive, though it may not be quite so exciting.
If zombies attacked I would get whoever is not a zombie together with me, get food supplies, guns, ammo, protection yada yada, then hit the road in a car or cars, depends on how many people I find at first. Keep looking for people would be the only logical thing to do afterwards, you can succeed with numbers. But if you don't gather everyone, you're screwed.

1. Hide in my closet
2. Leave out of boredom two days later
3. Catch the zombie fever!
4. Eat brains
Find shelter, reinforce said shelter. Have said shelter be in a place close to supplies. Transfer supplies/guns to said shelter. Win.
One problem with going to police stations, is that you along with everyone else will be going there, thus creating a high body concentration. This in tail, leading to a higher presence of zombies, and soon chaos.
I would only recommend police stations a good 3-7 days after outbreak.

Not to mention most of them have only a few entrances. Just block those entrances and it would be all good. I agree with you all the Bucky. I mean they have a gun section and everything. and if you are intelligent enough you would go to one with a produce section and a starbucks.
Seeing as zombies are definitely carniverous they would eventually eat all the humans then either die of starvation or destroy themselves. So you could wait it out for a month or two and it would all be over. Then go find survivors.
And Zombies are relatively stupid so they wont be farming or anything.

The plan of action depends on the kind of zombies. Are we talking Night of the Living Dead zombies that just shamble or the 28 Days Later zombies that can run faster than you?
If they are just Night of the Living Dead Zombies, I'd head to Walmart and invest in a blunt instrument and some food. Then I'd bunk up on the second floor of some building. Those guys can't climb. If it is the other kind then I'll say "Screw it", get bit, and catch the fever.

I also depends on whether these zombies are viral or are raised by some sort of necromancy. If viral you will need to find a gas mask and then go find a professor with an antidote. If they were risen by a necromancer I would try to kill the necromancer.
Assuming that the Zombies are easily killed with a strike to the head and that they are the slow, stumbling kind.. I would just get a group of 10-15 friends armed with blunt weapons, and maybe guns if we get ahold of them. We would just find a good place to live near city, and then when we needed to go out and get supplies; we'd just ramsack through the city, killing every zombie in our path until we get our food/drinks, etc. But we wouldn't live in fear or whatever.. we'd have awesome fun doing it.

If they were rage virus "zombies" I wouldn't even bother, I'd just let them infect me, be fun to go mad for a couple of weeks before you die.
If normal zombies, that's where the fun begins, for me it'd probably end up like Shaun of the Dead, having a laugh and killin' some zombies. I'd try and find somwhere high and off the ground, with only 1 clear entrance, maybe somwhere where there's only 1 lift up, zombies can't use lifts so you'd be alright, plus you're off the ground so you can make a signal fire, more chance of being seen.
I'd probably get loads of food (canned and non canned), some clothes, stuff to start a fire, a club or some other hard but light object for a weapon, and make my way to the local high school. They have a tower there you can climb up and it may be out in the open but really that's a good thing, you can see whats going on. It only has one entrance which is a ladder so you'd be fine.

I have read enough of the Zombie Survival Guide to know what to do. Although, some information on weapons and on past wars is actually false.
I own a machete. It states in the survival guide that it is one of the best bets for a blade. It is light, durable, strong, reliable, and is heavy at the tip for good down slashes. As for guns, it highly suggests a semi-automatic carbine. I really don't quite know where I'd get one, but I would try. I would completely avoid hospitals, malls churches, police stations, and popular stores. Each of which will be crawling with people, making it crawling with zombies. I'd go for my local convenience store as quickly as possible before the outbreak spread worse. Most likely, I would capture most of the food, since other people will be too.
I would most definitely stay indoors. I live in a city. Big problem. Biggest one in my state, St. Louis, Missouri. Local gun shops on the outskirts and suburbs of the city may become a reliability later. But before that, I will stay indoors.
I live in an apartment, other people will easily be able to get a hold of. I probably know the most about zombies in my apartment that I'm sure most would trust me. I live on the top floor. We could have everyone in the apartment in two rooms at the top, and two others for storage. Hopefully someone there has a gun and experience. My dad is a Vietnam Veteran, so hopefully he remembers how to use a gun after his retirement, 20 years ago of the US Military.
Basic Precautions and Actions to Take.
1. Fill my bathtub and sink up with water, same with the other ones upstairs. Never know when the water will run out.
2. Know who is infected and who isn't.
3. Stocking up on candles, food, water, appliances, blunt tools, various weapons, various tools that can be used as weapons, bandannas, axes, playing cards, lighters, various knives, cooking appliances, razors, and first aid kits.
4. Buckets of water hanging off my window to collect rain water.
5. Escape routes.
6. Fire extinguishers.
7. Plans before going on the outside.
8. Entertainment to keep sanity.
9. Knowledge of what to use and why to use it. Also, if it truly would be reliable in a zombie attack.
10. Avoid hand-to-hand combat.
If the outbreak got to bad, I would most likely take myself or my family/friends if they're still alive and retreat to the woods.

Another possible thing is to fight them off at your house. Bracade all the windows and shit, then if they break in you kill them all. Then when you need supplies you can use your car to drive to your grocery store and steal as much food as you can. Or you probably go to a military installation and help them fight it off there. But that might be a wrong decesion due to all the people that go there. Some might be infested, and would attack inside the base. I think it might be a good idea if the world has a plan for that.

I'd hide in my house forever. That, or commit suicide.
I'm not a very violent person.
I live in a suburban town of give or take 17-18,000 people.
There is a shopping center really close to my house, about a mile or maybe even less. The shopping center is laid out with an EB Games on one end, next door a grocery supermarket, then a good 10-13 other stores, and finally a hunting outfitters on the far side.
I would take my dad's CRV with any other survivors I could find down to the shopping center, bust into the hunting store, load as much as I could carry into the CRV, drive over to the EB, get inside, pull the big-ass metal gate thing that you see in most malls over the door, lock the doors, make a barricade just in case, then I would bust a whole in the wall into the grocery supermarket, kill all the mother fucking zombies in there, lock their doors and gates, make a barricade and go back to EB.
Then basically I chill with the survivors, play some video games, get all the food we want from next door, and wait it out.
If things got out of hand I'd pack up the guns and some food, and move out into a rural area.

Living at the top floor will be perfect. Just knock down all the stairs. And if that's fucked, I stated it before: ESCAPE ROUTE. Maybe something with a grappling hook or a rope ladder to get out. That would fucking stomp ass.
In all honesty, I would be scared out of my fucking wits. Crow is right, electricity is limited. Everything will be chaos, no matter how small of a town you live in. Imagine half of which the people in your town will be scared and confused and half of which keep trying to bite you.

We should first consider what makes zombies, so we know how to cure them and become world heroes.
Obviously, necromancy is out of the question, I think we can be sure that if zombies do come, it won't be because of magic.
I also doubt that something could reanimate the dead, being that their muscles and brains have rotted out, leaving nothing to control.
The most likely scenario is that something effects normal, healthy humans, turning them into drooling, brain-eating monsters. I suspect that it would be some sort of advanced Cordyceps Lloydii or parasite.

If it's a parasite, most likely it will live in the brain, which is why zombies like to eat brains. The parasite would want to procreate and spread, and so making their host bite the head of another person would be the easiest way to spread their young to other brains.
If it's a fungus, the zombies probably won't be hungry and evil. Once infected, a person will run into the sunlight to die, and the fungus will sprout from their body, releasing pollen into the air. This scenario would probably mean doom for humanity.

Nobody really mentioned what they would wear....I'd wear a leather jacket, leather pants, biker gloves, biker helmet, a neck brace and anything else thick enough to withstand a bite, also, some people mentioned something about roofs, i think it would be funny to see them walk outside just to be pecked once by a zombie bird and get infected. And to everyone who keeps talking about Walmart...i cant see that working out too well, Everyone would go there and food would run out in days, you also run the risk of being surrounded by all those people and getting killed due to greed, insanity, or outbreak. a good weapon would be a hockey stick its [I]big and long :heya: and i would try to knock them down...hitting them with lethal force would cause blood to spill and if a drop goes in me I'm fucked. Nobody mentioned sewers either...they would be good unless the vermin in them were infected but it still would beat the streets where those birds are.
Dr Gentlemen in pretty much every single zombie movie and even the zombie survival guide says that animals are immune to the zombie virus. Though of course those are just movies and books we dont really know what would happen in real life. Also why wear leather pants and not just jeans which are really durable material?

First of all, I'd stock up on gardening supplies. Then I'd go find clothes, weapon and barricade material.
I'd then drive up to a barn or a rural area where little people will be. I'd set up wire fences around the perimeter, with cameras to see if any zombies are arriving. I'd make sure we'd be able to grow food. For entertainment, there's always cards and board games. If the zombies were able to tear down barricaded fences and the area I'd rig with mines, I'd have a bunker that could be lived in for a long while, that has a sniper peekout.

I don't know about you but all my jeans have holes in them usually by tripping just once and you are bound to trip during your zombie survival escapades, making jeans not as effective as leather pants...and the movie reference is kinda void since (feel free to slap me if I'm wrong) in 28 days later, didn't the whole fucking rage virus start by a few guys getting bitten by a monkey? And animals can still carry diseases(if we are assuming that what the cause is) despite not being affected by them, for example Ebola was spread by rats and fleas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Death).(in part)
This would also mean anytime past 4:00 pm would be very risky since thats when mosquitoes are active, and they are able to transmit disease causing viruses without being affected themselves.(source (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosquito))

Or it could probably be another new virus. Remeber what they said about HIV?
Another thing is that they can mutate a virus that already exist in some animals that has the mind control gene. Then they mutate it to attach it self to humans by either Salavia, Blood, and of course Sperm. It all depends on who is fucking crazy to try to wipe out the human race.

Gardening supply stores are easy enough to find. Same with barns. With a reasonable amount of time, one could set up fences with barbed wire and cameras (Using battery power or solar panels). Simply reinforce the fence with materials. It would be a big job, but not impossible, especially with a few people helping. Using concrete and some supplies. I could make a concrete shell, on top of which I could melt other metals. I can use simple forms to add sniper holes and that stuff.
As for obtaining this stuff? I'd hijack a concrete mixer truck, and on some supply trucks and loot the places.

If a zombie infestation seemed at all possible my first plan would to be find an island anyway from everything, vast amounts of water surrounding it and no human life to speak of. I'd pack up with supplies and leave for it immediatly. This island would also be able to support me and an uninfected female for mating purposes :heya:. Also knowing full well that the few supplies I would have packed with me would last no longer than a few months at best the island would also have to have good crop growing soil, so I could start a farm, maybe even catch some local wildlife and try and tame them so I wouldn't have to go veggie. I believe I could start a new life, bring up a family and restart the human race and after a few generations maybe some of my grand children could travel back to the mainland (which would obviously be zombie free because everyone knows that a zombie cannot last forever because eventually its corpse decomposes and without muscles it could not possible function) and be able to restart the human race with enough room to populate into.
I didn't realise I'd actually put that much thought into it :indiff:

then hide out on the top floor of a sky scraper,
cuz i think zombies wouldnt know how to walk up all the stairs,
or use an elevator.
so i think id be good, unless they drove a plane into it.

If a zombie infestation seemed at all possible my first plan would to be find an island anyway from everything, vast amounts of water surrounding it and no human life to speak of. I'd pack up with supplies and leave for it immediatly. This island would also be able to support me and an uninfected female for mating purposes :heya:. Also knowing full well that the few supplies I would have packed with me would last no longer than a few months at best the island would also have to have good crop growing soil, so I could start a farm, maybe even catch some local wildlife and try and tame them so I wouldn't have to go veggie. I believe I could start a new life, bring up a family and restart the human race and after a few generations maybe some of my grand children could travel back to the mainland (which would obviously be zombie free because everyone knows that a zombie cannot last forever because eventually its corpse decomposes and without muscles it could not possible function) and be able to restart the human race with enough room to populate into.
I didn't realise I'd actually put that much thought into it :indiff:
Here's the thing, if they can walk under water, your fucked. Another thing is that you must have other people there in order to restart the human population, unless you want the world to be ruled by retards. There would be so much incest.

IT'S A THREAD ABOUT A ZOMBIE ATTACK. LET IT GO.
A zombie attack is highly unlikely but biologically it could be possible. Mr. Crow mentioned something about a parasite maybe mimicking the rage virus.
I was just curious! I just wanted to make sure his plan was full-proof. You never gave Crow any shit.
Is it wrong to constructively point out flaws to a member's survival plan, or do you want coconuts to die when he realizes his $5 flash camera doesn't have the surveillance capabilities he thought it did?

Gardening supply stores are easy enough to find. Same with barns. With a reasonable amount of time, one could set up fences with barbed wire and cameras (Using battery power or solar panels). Simply reinforce the fence with materials. It would be a big job, but not impossible, especially with a few people helping. Using concrete and some supplies. I could make a concrete shell, on top of which I could melt other metals. I can use simple forms to add sniper holes and that stuff.
As for obtaining this stuff? I'd hijack a concrete mixer truck, and on some supply trucks and loot the places.
You mentioned mines and spy cameras.
I'm sure I can loot spy cameras from malls. I can also steal mines from stores and/or police stations.

One thing I think everyone is not really considering is the whole weapons thing. Pretty much everyone said they would get their hands on a gun, then start shooting zombies. But if it came down to it, would you beable to do it? I mean they might still look kind of human, I just don't know if I would beable to shoot 'em. I guess I would considering it would be a life and death situation, but I would still have trouble. And how many people have actually used a gun? I personally never have.

I think we should all have the same conclusion of "what" kind of zombie, whether it be allergic to sunlight, or an virus type. Then the scenarios will vastly change.
But for my part, probably the super market I work at. Only 2 exits (Front, and back door fire exit), which I will securely fasten shut, and then climb through the ladder, and camp out on the roof. Then, if the zombies were immobile in sunlight, I would venture to find gasoline, various foods, strong tents, and lots of clothes and water. After I feel safe with the supplies I have on my snug roof top, maybe during the day, carry out a shovel and attempt to make a moat in front of the exits encase the zombies do break em open.
I wonder what would be the best medieval weapon to fight zombies...

My weapon of choice would be a glavie, or a very long pike they used when Alexander the Great was in his reign. Assuming the zombies can turn you into one, using a knife or club would be very dangerous because of the close combat range. I would also have a machete or hatchet if they did dodge my stabs.
I would just go live inside a Costco.

I live in a suburban area of a fairly small city, so avoiding zombies wouldn't be too hard. I'd simply find my way to a firearms dealer not too far from my house, meeting up with survivors along the way and battling zombies with my friend who happens to own quite a few guns. Right beside this firearms dealer is a camping store, so we'd stock up there then head into the woods. If you walk in any direction other than east from my town you'll end up in the deep forest. Either that, or I'd go to another friend's who owns a sailboat and we'd head out to Marina Island. It's a small island a few kilometers off the coast of Vancouver Island with absolute no people or animals other than some squirrels or maybe some deer (lets hope deer aren't affected). With our camping gear and weapons we'd stay on the island and only venture back onto Denman Island (another nearby island with grocery stores and a few houses) for food, and possibly getting some bitches.
This of course is all assuming I can even get out of my house.

This is the best thread so far,
I live in England so getting a gun might be a bit hard seeing as there are no gun shops. Luckily there’s a antiques shop by me which sells swords which is helpful, try to find some friends and survivors to camp with me, hopefully some fine ladies :biggrin:, then I would go to the small primary school behind my house which has only one entrance which I could close with the huge iron gates. Food would last for a week or two in the school canteen, Could venture out in a small party to get more food, survivors, and weapons. Then just use old texts books for warmth in the school and sit around till help arrives. If someone does get bitten however close to me I would kill immediately.

I live in Texas, so there is a gun store right down the fucking street from my house, not to mention the guns that are sold at Walmart.
I would probably break into the gun store down the way from me, as they have a fully automatic m60 mounted in the window of the store. I would steal all I can, probably filling the back of any of the fucking trucks that are all over the god damned place.
Then, me and my friends would raid Walmart for all their guns/ammo, antibiotics/meds, food, supplies, and clothing and shit like that. i Would then travel to the ship channel that is not too far from me and hole up in one of the massive commercial liners.
Yeah. I would also get any sword or close combat weapon made by Coldsteel, as they are bad ass.

And I could hopefully find someone who is not zombified who knows how to work a gun, because i have no clue.

On another forum I visit, I actually made this plan, but that was like 1 and a half year ago, so it's kinda flawed, now that I look back at it.
Weapons
.50 magnum
AK-101 (Though I might not handle it very welll )
Knife
Sub weapons:
2 Flash grenade
2 Frag Grenades
Everybody from my crew should at least have one flash grenade, and those who can handle guns will have frag grenades.
Armor
Kevlar Helmet
Kevlar Vest
Knee guards
Shoes with iron fronts
Thick leather trousers
Thick leather jacket
Leather gloves
Base
First of I wanted to say Scott's room, but that it too far away from here.
Well, if possible, I would actually take an airport. I would go to the second story and make all the rolling stairs go downwards. The zombies won't figure out/they will get stuck. This airport shall ofcourse be some place where I can look all over all the zombies. I will also block the rolling stairs with whatever I can find and eventually make a hole through the floor, so that the zombies will fall down to the first story again.
This place is also smart, since we can blind zombies with fire extinguishers. There would probably be lots of these around.
If we are lucky, there will still be cola machines and some frozen food in the cafeterias in the airport.
As for my crew, I will bring like 20 people. That would be like 10 who can handle a gun, 4 who can eventually fix the rolling stairs to make them go down. 3 who can fly a plane (if there's any back). As for the last 3, that would be some stealthy people, that can go loot whatever usefull that is around.
There will allways be 3 awake with one nightvision scope each.
Equipment
- Everyone from my crew should have an LI based flashlight.
- Lots of LI batteries
- A small camera
- Binoculars
- Scope with nightvision
- A radio to see if there's any frequences close to us
- A pen
- A few small pieces of paper
- A red piece of chalck to write "OHMIGAWD SUFFERRRR" on various walls.
- A watch
- Thermometer
- Sun glasses
- Lots of water and lots of food
- Eventually a spray that smells like brains so that we can distract the zombies
- Matches
- Lighter
- Haily potent acid to poor over the zombies. Also absinth would be usefull, to set the zombies on fire, even though it's quite a waste
If there's somewhat room for it, we should bring a generator so that if the electricity goes of, we can make some our selfs.
- edit: Thanks Yobalt, I almost forgot a map
That is my "battle" plan
Edit: Here is a picture of Kastrup airport (danish)
Kastrup Airport (http://www.swedflight.com/ekchpro/ekch4_17.jpg)
One of these "wings" will be useful for a base. If we've killed all the zombies around, we can sneak out and loot all the shops that's around, and I tell you, there's a crazy amount of shops in there. We can also bring a lot of barricading from these shops, both metal and wood.
There's also lots of electrical stuff that can be found in there, which we can use as for maybe some sort of radio station and mayhaps some interweb connection, so that can send out some help signals.
If possible, we will abandon this base and go to the control tower, which has the best potential of surviving. From in here, we will basicly use the same tactic as the thread starter (StillHonest).
This is ofcourse only if the zombies somehow manage to pull through, or if the current place gets totally wrecked, and a new base is required.
Also, my english was not quite as good then, as it is now.
I mentioned a guy called "StillHonest" in the post. He had a pretty good plan, about invading a house, chop the stairs, hang some ropes/ropeladders, and then live there, with escape routes to another house.
The most flawed part of my plan, is the equipment. I'm never going to abtain any kind of kevlar wear, or grenade weaponry. I know how to make super napalm and acid bombs, but killing a zombie with fire takes time.
Guns is also a problem. I can probably get some, but definitely not the ones I mentioned first. If the outbreak came, I would probably have to resort to blunt weapons and sharp stuff.
As I mentioned earlier, I know how to make simple, yet powerful bombs. If I can time it right, I could actually toss the bomb at a zombie's head, which will blow the head into pieces, since it's rotten. Unfortunately, this is kinda ineffecient. I can make these bombs into frags, by wiring them with steel, but that won't kill many zombies either. The method mentioned can also be used for chloride and hydrogene gas creation. If the zombies breath, I can suffocate them.

I've thought of this many times, and formulated this plan quite a while ago.
A mate of mine's parents own a property just outside of Bathurst (about two hours west of where I am, give or take). Good clear open land so you can see shit coming, with a relatively low population density (compared to the likes of Sydney) and a solid, sturdy and defendable house to lock down in.
I'd basically make a list of those who I actually wanted to save, and give them directions to get there. The house could maybe hold 30 in a pinch, but put up a barrier and you could hold several hundred in the surrounding land quite comfortably.
The house is stocked with arms and ammunition because hunting kangaroos, deer and wild pigs is why we go there. But to hold off a zombie invasion? not enough.
That's ok, cause I've got my old man. Former career soldier who still has strong ties with the Armed Forces, I have absolutely no doubt that he could hook us up as a way-station for the ADF. So the farm would be turned into a storage facility of sorts for Army hardware and we'd pretty much have a nice stock of necessities on hand at all times. Vehicles, ammunition, food, viewing and tracking devices, good GPS system, communication system, personnel - we'd have it all. Considering my father moved into logistics once Vietnam was well and truly over and spent 20 years in that field, this would be right up his alley.
So I'd just sit tight there, work with the ADF, go out on scouting/hunting trips, process survivors and survive.
Failing that, the old man would just get us taken into Richmond RAAF base where we'd just play cards and drink until the invasion was over.

But, yeah, I really don't have one. I remember when I read the Zombie Survival Guide I was constantly pissing myself over noise I heard outside at night. I remember that worse case scenario, I was going to head to the Military Outlet store a few miles away and hold up there. Stock up on guns, 'nd then head to the supermarket. Gotta keep one extra bullet, though, just in case.

High school, eh? According to the zombie survival guide thats a bad idea. Zombies retain some of their memory and horde to the places they know people will be. I know the survival guide is questionable, but its the only thing we have to go off of.
You, sir, are an idiot. You have never really read that book. The Zombie survival guide (and I have it open in front of me right now) states on chapter 3: On the defense, page number 79, that schools are a VERY good place to hide in a zombie outbreak. Furthermore, it states in chapter 1: The undead: Myths and Realities, that the true undead as created by solanum do not retain any of the memories of their former life. Voodoo zombies, another type of zombie that could never exist in mass, especially outside of a voodoo culture, DO retain memories, but do not hunger for flesh as true zombies do.
For those seeking more of this great tried and true enlightenment, the Zombie Survival Guide, by Max Brooks, is only 15 dollars in the humor section of Barnes and Nobles.
I have posted my plan before, (in another, similar thread) but here it is.
This is it: I keep a 20 gauge shotgun and a 22 millimeter semi auto rifle in my garage. Grab them both, along with all ammo and the 72 hour zombie kits my family keeps handy (no joke, food and water for 3 days just in case we're on the run from the undead. My family rocks). Then head into the nearest school. It varies from place to place, but here is why they are usually better places to hide:
1. Most people Don't want to spend their last days locked in a high school. So there will be little competition for valuable food and living space.
2. Schools, especially in California, are made to be fortresses. They have windows with wires in them, and thick metal doors, even on the inside. They are also usually partitioned into multiple areas with more thick doors between them that can be locked, so even the undead get in, you can lock off that part of the school.
3. School usually have great food stores in the cafeteria. Sadly, this is generally in the form of fruit juice, milk, and other foods that spoil, so you really only have food for the first day after the power goes out (and it will) plus any non perishables the school has. This includes pretzels, cakes, crackers, and few of the common main dishes served in school lunches.
4. As for the psychological aspects, schools have libraries full of any kind of book you'd want, ranging from simpler first aid procedures, to magazines, to novels. If you got a crowbar and opened the lockers, you could probably also find a Gameboy or something.
5. In some city schools, there are cameras that constantly monitor the campus, giving you a great view at a long distance. You may even find some makeshift weapons. My school has a metal shop.
Once I've established a base there, I open a door to the roof, and usher any survivors to climb up. Zombies, as told in the Zombie Surival Guide, lack the intelligence to climb (only 1 in 4 can even us a ladder) which gives fleeing humans an edge. Then, try and create a small community to exist in until the crisis is over. In a worst case scenario, a small animal can be dangled overhead by a rope to distract the undead while we escape out the back door with all the food and self made weapons (mostly just makeshift knives and the likeness) we can carry. We'd try and make our way to the nearest place of safety. If a school bus was somehow available (but that's wishful thinking at best) it can be made into a mobile fortress until gas runs out.

If the world fell to zombies where only a few tribal bands of humans exsisted then I will follow my own guide to surviving this extinction.
1) Companion(s): Get a few tight friends, or one person to be your companion. The reasons being: A few friends = greater survivability they may have talents you do not posses and faster fortification of areas. A single companion = greater trust and love, you won't feel the need to ever leave your companion behind, you would fight harder to keep each other alive, groups may have the audacity to leave one behind. Allowing outsiders into your fortifide area just spells doom for the rest of the party, I wouldn't reccomend allowing survivors in.
2) Fortifiaction: I'd pick a super store. They'd have everything you'll need to survive. There arn't really that many entrances to them as well. Easily trappable if a zombie were able to infiltrate. Always have a "safe area" within the fortification that has its own supplies, oxygen, survalence, and radio/phone and any other necessities. Make it as inpenatrable as you possibly can as well as hidden, most likely an underground "safe area" would be a good bet.
3) Armed: Be well armed. If you are insane and love close combat, get extremely, I mean extremely, sharp swords/axe and have a gun or two on you just in case. For those who love to stay 50 feet back, use a sub-machine gun, semi-auto/auto, a pistol whatever to keep them at bay, and be precise with your shots. Its better to take 2 more seconds to aim than shoot wildly. Unless its 1 foot infront of you then just aim at the head in general

I'd go with Shaun of the Dead's plan.
1) Take your neighbor's car.
2) Pick up your mom and dad, and your friends.
3) Go to the Winchester.
4) Hopefully the Bar's owner has a gun and you can fight off the zombies while help arrives.
5) If all hope is lost, Plan A - use the gun and kill yourself
Plan B - go get bitten and join the rampage
That's pretty much it.
Only one problem with Plan B, shadow. More often than none there's more than one zombie - AKA, you'll be eaten alive unless there's only a handful. I'd rather save one bullet, to be honest. A lot faster, and a lot less painful.

So I live in Finland and here we have this thing called ... winter, which is a mixed blessing. In the wintertime it's usually -5 celsius cold here in the southern parts, where I live, that doesn't sound so cold for someone who hasn't experienced it even once in their lifetime, but it's friggin freezing (especially here. near the ocean, where the wind adds the freeze factor). Winter does however slow down zombies and if it is cold enough, kill them. So my plan is simple. Because I live in large condo complex, near the center of Helsinki, I have large amounts of cellar space, lots of escape routes and huge amount of supplies ready. When most of the inhabitants (in the early -80's when this building was built this was marketed as a easy choice for elderly, so there's alot of old folks) would try to flea or would be already killed by the zombies I could gather canned foods, water, frozen goods, etc. From other apartments (the doors are sturdy, but could be broken with an axe or something, we have all kinds of useful tools and supplies left from our outdoor hobbies) After locking ports to the yard and barricading the door to shared garage this would be large and safe place to be. Here in Finland we have alot of old cars, because of our hard taxes, so hotwiring some older SUV (from the late -80's or so) would give me nice transport. In our neigborhood is alot of small grocery stores and clothe stores, where you cold break in to from employee entrances. Weaponry would be a problem, there's only one gunshop near and it is HEAVILY secured, but because this is a wealthy neighborhood, there should be hunting gear somewhere. Luckily I own a Gurkha knife which is really good for slashing the hell out of anything coing too near me.
With food, clothing, water secured from other condos and some weapons I should just wait for the winter with some close relatives or friends (6 max, food and water is kinda hard to run on here). In the wintertime I should make a run for it, pack all the supplies in to two cars, and two separate parties of 3, with supplies to live few weeks, and drive to someones summer cottage or to some island near Helsinki (you can safely drive on ice in February). Next summer there would be less zombies and in the rural areas or in that island there sould be atleast one boat. With the boat we could make a run to Estonia (with just a little bit bigger boat than your regular weekend cruiser you can safely go to Estonia). In Estonia we should find a new car, get some more supplies and drive to southern parts of Europe (this would take month or so, bigger cities should be left alone. In southern Europe some larger estate with possibility to grow your own crops would give perfect conditions for living, with weapons, ammo, and some luck small village could be cleaned out of the thousand or so zombies still living after six months of the breakout.

Wouldn't that have been awesome if Jesus turned into a zombie and started eating the apostles?

Don't you guys have more important things to worry about, like studying your times tables?

Body armor made of this = win. I wouldn't need a plan because I'd be invincible. Since it's cloth, it leaves no vulnerable spots if you created a full suit. I'd also wear some kinda bio-mask so that I could breath. I'd use a sword since hand-to-hand fighting is now reasonable, but I'd carry a gun in case I needed to save someone far away. Then, I'd rampage the streets brandishing my own breed of justice.
Assuming that this material is unavailable by the time zombie apocalypse breaks out, I'd probably do the old board-up house store-up food technique. When food/water run out, I guess I'd take it to the roads, and look for supplies.

I don't think it would stop harsh beatings or biting/clawing though. Maybe it won't tear, but I'm sure you would feel the pain and break bones.

I've always wanted to be a zombie so I'll just walk outside wearing a suit made entirely of bacon!

I have said it before, and I will say it again
Surely these are the words of a heretic. I say we kill him to make an example
I stand by my statement. Anyone who thinks planning for the only logical end to the human race is a waste of time, and who endorses the use of times tables, surely must be pure evil.

I'm going to hide in this sporting goods store that has guns and a shit-ton of jerky, and just hope no one's thought of my idea. I also thought of going into my attic with a bunch of water and food and just waiting it out.
I live in a three floor apartment building which has a metal gate on the only entrance and 10 foot high stone walls around it so I'd be pretty safe. First thing I'd do is take my pistol upstairs and kill my neighbours so there will no contest for food or water, then I'd strengthen the gate with rubble left over from when a few sheds were built round back.
From that point on I would just wait it out until I needed food and water, at which point I'd have to make supply runs which shouldn't be hard as the local co-op is only a few miles away. I have a veritable arsenal of melee weapons such as swords and machetes so I wouldn't have to worry about my gun running out of ammo but that shouldn't be a problem anyway as I have over 2000 hollow points in a tool box under my bed.

My zombie plan would be to probably just stay at my house or my church. My house because i have like 40+ guns at my house because I live out in the woods(Kind of).
My church, because it's a huge two story church with construction all around it, and it's right beside the freeway. I guess I could just take all my guns to the church.
Probably the church because they have food, xbox 360's, arcade games, and basketball court inside, so it would be pretty awesome.

I plan on gathering as many people together and boarding up the house with loads of tinned food in the pantry... when this thread comes back again.

I would start by heading to the gas station by my house, and ransack it for food and get the gun behind the counter (I've seen it cause I go there like every day, and nobody thinks about going to a gas station in an outbreak, so it wont be crowded) after I've packed my backpack full of food and batteries, I would head to Wall-Mart, and try to get some basics, such as canned foods a machete and a rifle from hunting, one of those little water cleaning pumps, and some flashlights. Then, if Wallmart was still safe, and they got it secured with the gates, I would stay there, if not, I would head to my friend Kyle's house (he has all kinds of weapons) and either stay there or if it seems clear enough head to a gated community. They would be uncrowded and protected.
Get weapons/food/supplies, make sure family is safe, then get to my rooftop and try to find a place to secure.

I think anyone not American is pretty fucked in the event of a zombie outbreak. You all talk about owning guns, or going to your walmart to get guns. I only know one guy who owns guns, and wouldn't have a clue where to go to get my hands on a gun if I had to. So in the event of a zombie outbreak I'd just get really drunk/high and wait to be zombified.

You need to add food to your equation. Guns, company and isolation are great, but you're a goner if you can't find food.
Britain = no guns, not necessarily a bad thing; lots of country-side, for hiding; and good chance of quarantine.
As soon as I hear of the zombie attack, I'd grab all canned/non-perishable goods, and my friend who is a scout, and some blunt objects. Hotwire my deceased/hungry dad's mitsubishi and head for the country. We'd fight off the zombies for a few days and finally perfect a good strong barricade. The obvious choice is then send up flares regularily and wait until googlemaps updates for our position. Knowing that the only people who would use googlemaps to look in deserted areas of zombie ridden country would read articles on forums about zombies, we would be saved by some black dude in a 'chopper ( as in 28 weeks later). Some cool music would play while me and my friend eat the black guy and pawn his chopper for more flares. Repeat.
