Right here, right now, I have access to almost everything I need. I live with my family and my room is on the second floor. I have my machete on my desk, plenty of food, gardening tools in my garage (shovels, pitch-forks, power tools, more machetes, etc.), and I have three hunting rifle's in a closet that I could get to in 15 seconds.
I live in a small neighborhood on the outskirts of a small town. The initial zombie attack wouldn't be hard to fight off, due to the low population, and any attacks that would come later would likely be scattered enough to be managable for a while.
In order to survive later in the zombie infested wasteland, I would have to start scavaging the town. Because I have bikes, I'll be able to get to any part of town within an hour. The local grocery stores, gun shops, police stations, and restuarants would be the first things I'd search. After taking everything useful in town, I'll just move on to the next town over, which isn't that far away either.
So I would just have to go from town to town, looking for anything useful and killing zombies.
If I came accross survivers, I would kindly ask them either
1. Join me in my attemps to unify humanity. Those that work together, stand together.
2. Give me their supplies. If you aren't coming with us, you can at least help us.
3. Leave them. I refuse to resort to stealing or killing others, while claiming to help humanity.
So that's my plan. Short term effectiveness. Long term usefulness. =)
