So im really into zombies and shit, and i dont know even know why but what if we really had a zombie situation in real life? Im pretty sure you all took thos online quizzes and all those fun things. But do you have a plan or any protection. Ill share my whole story.

So I live in a somewhat medium size town next to a giant ass lake, but im 2 citys away from a large city, which is only 20 mins away by car. But theres a private air strip in the town of jamestown, NY which is my enitial place to go if it goes down. I realize stickin around is bad, and if i could managed to get my family on an airplane, we could fly out of here, find a good place to go, maybe settle down north in canada. And my other plan is to head into the country are and go to the local rifle club to jack the place of its guns, which has a shit load of beast guns, and stock up there. My family is known there because my bro shoots there and he is a qualified marksman..But i have some fire power and a place to get more fire power. At my dads, which is just down the street, he has a 12 gauge single shot shot gun. At my house, we have a 20 guage with 20 or so shells, a .22 rifle with 250 or so bullets, and a shit load of knives. Me and my 2 bros are good with weapons and we even kno our way with explosives lmao. But any ways, im good with guns, i can work an ak47, and yes im not lieing, i actually shot one, best expierince ever. And next to my dads house, we have an old friend who was big with guns, he owns semi automatic m-16s and stuff like that. My best friends mom is a cop so i plan to get them to come with my family to make for a good group, and by my family, i mean my mom and my 2 bros. Im totally ready for this shit to go down.

I told you my story, So lets hear yours.

My plan is simple I will go to work.

I work at the United States largest cold storage facility. It's over 3 football fields long, has a military base about 1000 yards away, and has the following things within to contain a situation and keep me alive for a long time.

over 500,000 metric tons of food, water, ice, and medical supplies
A weight room
A shower/bathroom
self contained water purification system
3 back up power generators
machine shop
over 900 high reach forklifts that can lift a few tons each
ethylene glycol, halon, and blast freezer systems.
almost everyone working (including myself) is current military or formerly in.
over 50,000 racks to fit pallets of product that spans 4 stories vertical
hundreds of propane tanks
tons of wood from broken pallets
tons of metal for construction and repairs
A few dozen CB radios to contact drivers
A working Railroad off on the south side of the building with a few train cars to unload product
Blast doors every 1000 yards (Shatter, bullet, fire, freeze, proof)
at any point in time their are roughly about 500 to 2500 workers


The blast freezer is a room that can literally take any item and instantly freeze it to absolute zero in about 5 seconds. All liquid in the body becomes crystalized. Making them easy to shatter.

The military base has a few tanks, Humvees with 50cals, a helicopter, and tons of weapons.

hm, i see, but what if some go to work infected and its to late to realize it and an outbreak starts in there?

Then I guess it's time to break out the barky dog food and hope you remembered to pack a decent close quarter combat weapon! :unsure:

(Okay, add to the list of forum glitches "some smileys that don't work and no edit button to fix it" - darn zombies REALLY ate all the wiring round here :D)

Not sure what I would do. I live in a small town close to the woods. I guess I could just pack up and head out there. Only gun I got right now is my wife's grandmas 38. special. 6 shot revolver. I hate revolvers but its a decent gun. Got me a nice crowbar too. Only thing is, is we got 5 cats. I couldn't handle leaving them behind. So eaither Id have to find like a veternarian truck, or somthing that could hold them in nice cages, or just fortify my house. If they are Ramero zeds that are slow and shamble about, I would just hold out here at my house. But if they had rage zeds and infected living people that could punch and climb and run, I would have to get the hell out of here somehow.

They could be trapped behind the blast doors, or lured into the blast freezer. If worst comes to it I can climb the racks and stay there eatting a few stories above them.

i see. I want to hear more stories.

go north where they will freeze.

If they freeze then it means less food for you, colder for you, and with such increase chance of getting really sick. Not a good idea ... read World War Z lol.

theres lots of people who live in the cold.

Not outdoors for months and years without proper food and supplies. In zombies are real and their is a epidemic it's not going to stop in a few days. It will be months if not years. Their is little that can be done about that when the ground and everything else around you is frozen. How will you eat, how will you stay warm, how will you sleep enough to fight effective.

if you think about it, those isolated islands to the the north that are a bit off shore would make for a good place to stay, and itd be easy enough to find warm clothing and zombies and their speed would be very slow so it be easier for you to scavange.

Zombies don't need to breath so they can just walk across the ocean floor and walk up on the shores of any island.

im not talkin about the north/south pole here, anywhere the zeds freeze and there is civilization is good.

aw..no one else is going to share there stories?

Zombies don't need to breath so they can just walk across the ocean floor and walk up on the shores of any island.



no they cant, im not exactly sure about this but the zombie body will contain alot of oxygen trapped inside in different forms(not necessarily oxygen, other gasses too)

depends on the type of zombie, because a virus controlling the dead body would hold the body away from water, the danger water imposes and what it does to the body in general

I agree carl.

While it is spooky to think of an army of zeds walking across the ocean floor to flank your group is scary, but not very practical. They would have tons of gasses and stuff from the decay. Most would float with ease. Only a few very old rotters shot full of holes might make it to the bottom. Even if he did though, he would be mangled by small fish and stuff until he was picked to the bone.

I have another though about zombies. I think if a zeds head is cut off, it would die. Not like in most zed films where it remains alive. Yah yah, I know the brain is still there, but anything with any type of instinct seems like it would auto turn its self off in such a traumatic event. Like, the head would just die, it would go into shock. I know they're zeds and they don't feel much, but anything would die from that it seems.

Just seems a little corny to me to have a living head.

But as I said before, I got to many cats and pets to leave. I would have to just board up my house and hope my 6 shot 38. special would hold out. If it was anything like Ramero's 90s remake of Night Of The Living Dead, I would pwn them. Only problem would be running out of ammo. I think if zombies are ever real though, they wont be so slow. Maybe a few shamblers, or even most shamblers, but I know some would punch, run, jump, freak out and kick your door down. It would be very scary indeed.

lets just hope they decay fast enough so their muscle groups go all weak

also if you cut a zombies head off, it will die, how are the electric signals the brain sends out to different parts of the body going to get there if no head? thats how you move, thats how the zombie move, it might be a zombie, but it still need the nerve system to move that includes the main central, the brain.

lol i'm lucky i live all the way over here GB me and my family live right next to the RMA (Royal military acadmay) sandhurst its only half a mile a way and they have electric fences maning the premiter and only two entrances which both have an armed guard at . or i could just go to tesco and hide in the cafe on the second floor armed only with a cricket bat

wait i just relized i'm not so lucky cause our littleisland has the stricest gun control in the world S-H-I-T

i would go to the churche. i life in holland wich is very populated(16 mil).
i life in some town that noone gives a dipsh** about.
so i would go to the church lock mysels up on the addic(i have a plent full off melee weapons in my house).if i get out if supplys i will get to a nearby bakery.
o yeah i can llok ov er the town on the church towers.

Speaking of thease undewater march of the dead across the ocean ,it is highly improbable due to the water pressure if the zombie would try to walk through the ocean the pressure in the deepest point would just oblitarate it.

As for a zombie situation IDK probably id try to get some suplies from the next door grocery store and Id try to go to the see find a boat and stayed off shore as long as possible.Unfortunately I dont have access to guns of any kind. just some knives and stuff like that.

If you cant get a gun grab a crowbar. You can reach out and grab things with it, pry open doors, crates, (where is a crate in real life.. idk) xD You can smash anything with it. You can go blunt force or use the hook end for some tearing action. Or use the hook end like a handle and spear the long part into a zombie. Not to mention you like.. cant brake a crowbar. I bet it would take 1 hit to a zombie to take them down. You got to get used to a crowbar though. I have pulled my back messing around with mine. It doesnt feel to heavy then you swing it like a mid-evil warrior and next thing yah know your back feels like there is a red hot poker in it. That would suck being surrounded by zeds and having your back, or leg, or arm start tweaking out. That's why you should always (Limber Up) Just like in zombie land. Goofy movie, but its true. In any situation, it is best to stretch, and get a little warmed up.

My house has thick windows, but there's quite a lot of them downstairs. This makes my house a bad place to defend, so I think I'd check from upstairs if there would be any zombies near, and then bail as fast as I could after grabbing a few things. I'd probably take some bandaids with me, as well as at least two good knifes of different kinds (Probably kitchen knifes; I would most likely not have stocked up on a few hundred military goodies before all of this would happen). A towel and a little food and water could also be worth grabbing. My motto is to keep things light and mobile.

Next, I think I'd try to find a better defendable spot for the moment. Either my school (that is pretty much a few meters away from my house) where I could temporarily hide in one of the shelters we have there, or the apartments that lie right behind my house. I'm pretty sure on how to open a lock without the key (I know the general technique), so getting into one wouldn't be that hard.

Hmm IDK if a school would be a good idea public institutions tend to be crowded you know

Actually, there are suprisingly few students in my school. Plus, most of them live far away from there, and would most likely not have any intentions of walking over to it. Plus, the shelter is really close to the enterance, it's well fortified (it has a big heavy metal door) and it would also only be a temporary location, while I figure out what to do next. I wouldn't be looking for something permanent.

I'd try not to change a thing. I live in an apartment building, so I consider myself pretty safe, since I firmly believe that zombies hate stairs. I'd sit by my computer, watch the news and occasionally pop out to get beer and food. Knowing my luck, I'd probably get killed by some moron trying to steal my shoes or food, so I'd avoid people as much as zombies. Just lay back and watch the fireworks, that would be my motto. I imagine none of us would be a hero running around with guns saving the earth and clearing zombie infested neighbourhoods, we'd all be whining and hiding and trying to get in as less trouble as possible.And so would I, but drunk and with style!

You do Have a point Vishnja Heroes are to die first you know and ussually "thanks " to other people All in all it will be the survival of the fittes and the most adaptable of us.

That's pretty smart, Vishnja. I'd also stay in my house if it wasn't for the fact that I'm certain that I can't defend it without the aid of several individuals.

Although, getting drunk during a Zombie Outbreak is not that smart. If the shit would hit the fan, I'd be making molotovs out of the stuff instead of drinking it. Molotovs do make pretty good weapons for defending buildings, I think.
