what is YOUR zombie plan?!

[✡]

I have a plan set up already. in case of a #3 style outbreak I need to quickly get access to sniper rifles, rations, and an apartment building. Once located at the apartment building I need to destroy the stairs and keep a camera feed on the lower floor just in case any infected wander by. Any infected that wander by the safehouse will be safely and quietly dispatched via sniping (as headshots are the only thing that can kill a zombie) once the state of emergency is over I can just come down from my apartment fortress

if you destroyed the stair case how would you get back down?

easy, wait for an airlift or just rappel down. remember, humans have much more dexterity than your common zombie

[Srgntcuddles]

In all cases I think it would be fairly similar. Just more difficult or less.

1) From my place of living go a couple streets over to my best friend's family's house. (If they are alive, take them with me.) Get their truck, a large diesel. Not really car savy but it's a huge pickup truck...
2) With truck drive to antique store located a couple blocks away and load up on the conveniently stocked weapons. As well as the cola table they have, because I love coke.
3) With truck, guns/ammo, (friends and his family if they're alive) return home for my laptop, which I would likely forget due to my nerdgasming over zombies. And my cat.
4) From there go to the belt (Which is where everything is at) and go to the mall. With friends, or survivors, secure the area. Clean out zombies, barricade doors, plot escape routes, pimp out vehicles, get set up, etc.
5) Rebuild...

1. Get weapons/ammo/axe
2. Get car
3. Get 4 closest friends
4. Go around until we find a place to rebuild.
5. ???
6. Profit.

whats the '???' for?

[Amber Wing]

im the face of #1:
- hoof it to my friend Tom's house
- get him and his supplies
- try to make it to the bluwater ridge resvoir
- stop along the way to pick up other friend and his respective supplies
- get to an island in the resivor, and wait it all out(because infected l4d zombie lack the coordination need to swim)
Reasoning: I could hopefully manage to bring supplies for around 3 monthes of comfortable living, at which point most of the infected will have been killed of or starved.

in the face of #2:
-once again, pick up Tom and his supplies
- go to the Santa Maria River
- Set up camp
- Wait it out
Reasoning: The steep cliffs and sharply sloped hills, combined with a remote location, make it unlikely that any zombies at all would reach the area, and if they did, passing through would be nigh-immpossible for them. and the nearby natural resources would be able to sustain my party for at least a few years.

in the face of #3
- barricade house, after making sure supplies are good
- keep away from windows to avoid infected attention
- wait for a month, then emerge and held with the fight
Reasoning: as normal humans, the infected will not be able to know im in my house, and therefor will not attack it. And after a month, they will have all starved or been killed off, or if they havent, all the possible food sources for them will be swiftly exagushted.

[ArcticSkyWolf]

get as much food and water and supplies ahead of time. my basement is full of stuff for the 4 of us to eat and stuff for a month. but of course, assuming that they only come out at night, get food/stuff in the day. like in the movie, i am legend or something like that.

Okay, I have a few qualms with people's answers.

1. what food would you bring? because you cant cook it other than gas tanks, and those are heavy and dont last too long. (no electricity)
2. do you actually know how to use sniper rifles and guns effectively at range?
3. Do you know how to drive properly? (there would most likely be debris all over the roads and abandoned cars.)
4. Can you operate aircraft
5. ammunition and guns are heavy.
6. the more weight you have in your car the more fuel it uses ( no-one to operate the pumps for the fuel stations)
7. cars make noise and attract zombies in the case of #1 and #3
8. You need to know how to maintain your weapons to keep them working
9. There are other survivors thinking exactly the same things as you, so shops may have already have been looted/buildings boarded up etc.
10. think of ways to see and keep watch at night without drawing attention to yourself.
11. Would you be able to cope with the emotional trauma of all your family and friends turning against you, and you having to kill them.

I'd like to see some answers with this incorporated.

1] whatever canned food there is
2] my plan does not involve snipers,
3] yes i know how to drive but why properly? theres no hiway patrol and there wont be many abandoned cars where i go
4] my plan does not ivolve that
5] not a question
6] my plan does not have heave items until i get to my destination
7] that may be, which is why you keep stocked on metal rods and other items to defend you
8]also not a question but i know how to clean guns
9]i got that but there would be scarce survivors so not all items would be gone
10]big box stores often have large metal doors so keeping watch would not be a large problem unless super zombies come out
11]already done, i sont have a strong connection to my family and therefor they would be easy to take down in my state

but you must understand, evryone wont be instantly killed. the stores will be stripped empty almoust instantainiously. how you read World War Z? read its section on the great panic and youll understand what I mean

[LyrilaFox]

i never said everyone would be killed instantly, i said that the population would be dwindled, or evacuated

L4D: Conserve energy here, as they most likely can only be stopped by destroying the muscles.  Shortsword should slice through the decayed flesh and bone fairly easily enough, IEDs will take out groups, guns shouldn't be terribly useful unless shotgun, and best of all a bow, for some flaming arrow action.  Take cover in any fortified area, like a castle or somesuch, and you should be fine, seeing as they'll only be able to melee more or less.

Classic: Gun stores will be easily accessible, and energy conservation will be easy with how slow they are.  Obviously, staying beyond their melee range is enough to get by with.  Bow and gasoline, short/longsword, shotgun.  Take cover anywhere you have access to building supplies to make a crude fort, or any fortified area.

Infection: Same as killing regular people.  Guns, guns, and mo' guns.  A great big claymore, a tomahawk, and a bow, Germ-X and I'm set.

[Schnutzy]

Simple, I have the same plan for any kind of zombie out break.
Grab my go/emergency bag, my camping/survival pack, my rifle, pistol and the necessary things for both, throw them in my truck and hit the road. Head northwest, and make my way to a buddies shop out in Iowa. I am an avid camper/outdoorsman, who believes in being prepared. It just so happens that I have most of my gear ready to go anyways in case of a natural disaster, I figure this applies well to a zombie bug out as well.

Ok. Let me clarify the whole "Gun Store" thing. the closest gun store to you is most likely the the cloest gun store to sevral hundred people, all thinking the same as you. and the next part is assuming that the store hasnt already been locked down by owners or another survivior group. in the case that the store remains open, it will be a frantic mass of people grabbing whatever they can get their hands on, and, in the chaos, "accidents" are 100% likely to occour. and then the pandemonium will attact zombies, who willl feast on the confused, albiet well-armed, and possibly wounded humans.
this applies to all 3 types of outbreak.

1. perishable canned foods, they last for 2-3 years depending on what is inside
2. sniper? no it's not going o work out, AR, yes, Shotgun Yes, SMG, yes, LMG? only when on a car or mounted on the roof
3. yes
4. no, but im sure ill find someone that does, i mean the airport is most likely to be empty (like the small ones) and we cant stay up in the air forever
5. yes they are heavy but it's better than trying to outrun them on foot, regardless of what type of zombies
6. good point, get a car, dont punch it, loose as much weight as possible but we still need guns to defend ourselves. but dont leave everything at the base. or a pick up, nice to have when you need to go off road, or over stuff
7. they can only hear so much, quiet car, strong muffler
8. know how to take them apart and clean it
9. and they might jack your stuff, dont want a crowd of people, 8 max
10. night vision
11. what has to be done is what has to be done.

interesting to see different peoples plans, with some guns you do need to be able to handle the kick back ( shot guns for example). LMG are light they shouldnt be to hevey to carry and most do have solder straps. you could make a game out of killing zombies.... detanin the ones that where your family and friends till you find a cure...
