Would you REALLY survive a zombie attack?

I'm very capable of hermiting. If I never left the house, the zombies would never see me come in & have less reason to look.
If they actually found me, I'd bludgeon them with whatever I could lift until my adrenaline gave out.
The smart thing to do is either have a preration-filled bombshelter or to take lots of nonparishable food out into an abandoned desert town where no living people dwell & the bodies that became zombies would have already decomposed to nothing more than easily crushable skeletons.

what part of canada are YOU living in? what are you talking about shit all guns...practically everyone i know has a firearm of some sort... and if you walk into the sporting goods department of any big place like canadian tire or walmart there's enough ammo there to arm a friggin militia....andrat said:
that's beside the point here...
I would probably die, but not while my car had gas in it... thing's a beastly powerful 4000lb steel block on wheels...it ran over a steel mailbox boldet to the concrete... and left no real damage on the body of the car... except the front licence plate(mounted UNDER the front bumper(which is chromed steel) is slightly bent outa place), I don't think a zombie'd do too much to it while being hit by it... also realistically, magic isn't a force to raise dead things to attack people with in this world... or there'd be a rather successful necromantic cult ruling over us all by now... so it'd be the not quite really zombie infected people style thing... but realistically if they were crazed and attacking people, they'd go after eachother just as violently in most projected scenarios... so there'd only ever pretty much just be one... or in such a case only one in any given area... so killing them off would be less of a horde survival style thing than it would be a hey, there's one... BLAM... dead... next! style thing... so yeah taking all the stuff i know how to do, my capacity for firearms use, and my positioning... not to mention penchant for collecting and practicing with a variety of non firearm based weapons... anything from throwing knives to swords to sledgehammers to hatchets... yeah... given my projections... I have a pretty good chance of staying alive in such a situation... against a horde... i'd just drive to one of the many fortified areas nearby, and hunker down there...they'd all starve and die or at least starve till their bodies were too weak for even a massive adrenaline boost to do much more than make them twitch, and go and kill shit till it was all dead... or i ran out of ammo, got bored and just went zombiegolfing...(using a heavy golf club or sledgehammer, to knock off the heads of weak helpless prone zombies... scoring is based on enthusiasm, distance and style... there aint exactly a planned 18 hole course, but getting them in windows and other hard to aim for places count for major style score...)

I'd go out with c4 strapped to me, and jumping into the horde. At that point I'd have probably gone insane, and I doubt anyone I know would've made it.
I live right next to the ocean and a little bay with some privately owned boats I can steal.
What point is there to take a boat with no supplies on it you ask?To get to the submarine base that holds nuclear weapons that's not 5 Km on a sail boat away I answer.A base like that should be one of the most secure places on Earth.
That's one of the few advantages of living in my rainy ass city,you get to go to the nuke base in case of a zombie apocalypse.

Could I stand it psychologically? Probably because I probably didn't like the currently deceased people anyways.
However, pysically I would probably survive until they reach my house since my last moments of life will be spent playing PS3!

Get to a Tescos or something that would be the best bet. In all seriousness dead rising has the best idea.
Unless I could get to one I wouldn't survive long. Yet I do have some "defence" in my house.

What's interesting (not really) is that you wouldn't survive or not, if the zombie invasion (lol) ever became 28weeks style large, then the people who'd live would be those who banded together. I don't care what anybody says, 1000 people together with weapons have about 1000x the chance of surviving than any 1 of those alone. It wouldn't matter how tough you were, or how fast, if you don't have support and backup and people you can depend on, you're not going to make it. Just speculation of course, but I think it's pretty accurate. Oh and another thing, I'm sick to death of movies saying that the military would die first, if the military gets pwned then everyone else is already dead.
I have to say, I'm kind of an arsehole, so by zombie law I'm required to survive to the final showdown, only to be set upon by a hoarde of old lady zombies.
But seriously, I think I'd survive for at least a week. Most people who would survive long enough would just die of starvation.

To survive I'd keep it pretty quiet and stay in the country for the most part. Around me there are at least 3 farms, places where I know I could find shotguns, ammo, medications, fertilizer, blades, and animals - good early warning systems. Though I guess I'd be fairly noticeable trekking cross country with a fresian-Holstein. Oh and quite unusually (for the uk) as a vet I have a firearms license which entitles me to bear pistols, rifles and shotguns. I think it'd be quite fun...

My worry is the whole "get to da choppa" scenario.
For example, what is the actual probability that the government - in it's extremely finite wisdom - decides to gas/fire-bomb/nuke infected cities?
In that case "hermiting" is only going to work with a VERY good bomb shelter and even that may not work. After the fire-bombing of Dresden people were cooked and suffocated in very deep shelters due to the amount of smoke and oxygen being sucked up by the fires. And that was a city that had taken many fire-storm prevention measures and had a very effective fire fighting force. Then of course they could just dump a couple thousand tons of phosphate containers out the back of a cargo plane and effectively gas the entire area.
I think a modern air force could do a good job of incinerating cities with precision weapons. They could even just drop a nuke and be done with it.
Another thing to consider is natural disaster. With society breaking down, the firemen zombified and the army predisposed what if the dams burst? What if a fire spontaneously breaks out and spreads uncontrollably? densely packed cities like London could burn to the ground if a fire starts and no one ever tries to put it out.
Maybe in that case I should have an "Exit Strategy".
Well I am near a military armoury and grocery store. I could see myself lasting a while (a month or so). After that I have no idea what would happen.
I dunno, to be honest. I have severe anxiety problems that I need medication to control, but when there's a disaster, like the hurricanes of the past decade, I'm sometimes a-okay until the shock finally hits me. Maybe it's the adrenaline.
So, it could happen in two ways. On the one hand, I might freak the fuck out, panic, and eventually shoot my brains out so I don't have to be eaten alive - one of my worst fears. Or, I'll be perfectly clear-headed and travel with my boyfriend out to his family's country home where they stockpile guns and canned food, since we're all paranoid and mistrustful of our government in the south.

I like to think that if I could survive the initial panic, I'd be good for a while, I live in the country and own guns. But on the other hand I work/study in a hospital, which is one of the worse places for zombie outbreaks.
That's quitter's talk, all you need is to tie a band around the pancreas of a dog or a pig and then inject the raw insulin that builds up into your body.XJ-0461 said:
