Zombie Apocalypse scenario: What will you do?

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Lucky for me I recently watched The Walking Dead for the first time this week past so I'm in the mood for this thread. If I hadn't then I'd probably complain.

Realistically I'd choose a shovel from my shed, grab all the supplies in my house and head to the school over the road with my family for a short while. My friends and I joked about this and I reckon they'd think to go to the school after I explained how beneficial it is. Once we'd assembled a small group we'd grab all the medical and food supplies we could carry, grab some gym and workshop equipment to use as weapons and move out before anyone else arrives. From there it'd just be a play it by ear affair. I'd like some sort of firearm as a backup, they're really stupid weapons to use primarily, but British laws put them in really short supply.

We'd probably become a band of raiders if we lasted long enough; dispose of all meaningless morality in a chaotic world and live with the group's survival in mind.

Either that or die and eat people.

I'd barricade my house (in a medium-populated suburb) with the rest of my family, get in the attic and pull up the stairs after piling up food/ loads of water/ lights/ batteries/ etc (hopefully the internet will be up long enough for me to do some quick research on survival essentials), and hope that the government takes care of it. If not, I'd wait until our supplies run out and hope that our Ruger Mark III .22 pistol is powerful enough to commit suicide with...

edit: If I was feeling especially courageous, I'd try to book a private flight to some small, obscure island nation that has civilization and enough agriculture to sustain itself.

First thing the government will do shit. They have other things to deal with than rescuing your family and you. In an Apocalypse scenario order breaks down. Government breaks down. Everybody is on their own.

The best way to survival an Apocalypse scenario is to run to the hills. Live off the land. Avoid other groups because they might be hostile or will be extra burden if you allow them in.

The government is actually pretty decent at dealing with small scale problems, which is the likely scenario for a zombie outbreak. As for large scale problems, the government probably won't do shit, but anyone who thinks they can actually survive on their own (or survive at all) in a real apocalypse is either a Green Beret or is lost in fantasy land.

Whatever weapon you may find will be useless. Killing a man is not easy, even an undead one. Melee is out of the question, and fire-arms would attract too much attention, not to mention that bullets would eventually run out, and no one will be making more any time soon. Your only shot is to get out of the big cities and find a farm. Fortify it and hopefully have other people to help you maintain it. Scavenging will only help you for so long. The real trick is to survive the initial infection, and leave densely populated areas.

Also, don't have a pregnant adulteress wife and an idiot son walking around with you. Nothing but trouble I tells you.

Weapons are a secondary thing, you don't need to kill them. Melee is the best because it's quite and gets them out the way for a short while. Also fuck Lori, she's a total ***** and seriously can't get past old world ideals. The kid can either have a gun or get eaten; the reason to continue to be alive is to be alive, not come home to Saturday night TV like you used to; you aren't first fucking lady, Rick's word is not law, stop trying to make it so.

Sorry, I had to get that last part off my chest.

You be surprise on how many people are prepared for the Apocalypse. It's a big booming business. In fact there is a reality show called the Prepper that deal with preparing for the end of the world as we know it. I don't watch TV but it's a big hit in the survivalist community. Since the show started survivalist shops around the country couldn't keep up with the demands.

There are also religions that is center around the Apocalypse. The Mormon is one of best known ones.

Edit: Out of curiosity I Googled Mormon official survival list and what do you know they have one in pdf.

Yeah, I know about the reality show. Honestly, I think a lot of those guys are just fantasizing about shooting something that isn't a paper cutout. There's definitely a certainly charm to the idea of being the last man standing (possibly along with some hot chick) in a collapsing world, so I can't blame them for that.

But it's doubtful that these people will really survive after their supplies run out. And even if they did, then what? Live alone, or in a small society reduced to medieval technology, without running water or electricity or dentistry and dying to what were once easily curable diseases? Most people can't even cope without the internet.

If our ancestor were able to survive without running water, electricity, etc. I'm sure some of us will too. Most won't survive because they don't know how to be self sufficient. People like the Prepper family will have a much better chance of surviving because they spend their entire life self sufficient. They know how to hunt, fish, grow their own food, protect themselves, live outside of dense population areas, etc. People like the Prepper family will be sorry disappointed if the Apocalypse doesn't come in their life time.

As a rule of thumb you don't need to be Super Human or in the Super Special Military Force to survive the Apocalypse. What is needed is the ability to be self sufficient and common sense. However both of these two traits lack in modern society.

Our ancestors grew up in a culture which relied on a much greater degree of self-sufficiency in both individuals and societies. But modern society doesn't require that. When it comes to progress, whether it be technological, economic, or anything else, self-sufficiency is inferior to specialization and interdependence. Societies function better when those who are good at science become researchers, and those who are good at numbers become accountants, rather than having each person worry about everything at once. Self-sufficiency is pretty much useless unless your profession calls for it.

That said, of course the average survivalist has a better chance than the average regular person, but in a truly catastrophic event, "better chance" probably means 0.4% chance of survival compared to 0.15% chance of survival. What's a hardcore survivalist going to do if he catches pneumonia?

So I'd really much rather blow my head off on my own terms than make a near-hopeless attempt at the lonely and brutal life of a post-apocalyptic survivalist.

 

[evilneko]

Nip it in the bud by dropping fuel-air explosives on cities showing signs of zombie infection. I may get called a monster in the present but history will vindicate me as the savior of the human race.

Whaddya mean I'm not the president?

 

[jdun]

Rural Americans are self sufficient and self reliant. They probably going to survive the Apocalypse because they used to it. Because they are out of the grid. Rural Americans live on bare minimum and they have the skill set that are needed to survive the Apocalypse. I'm sure they have more than .15% chance of surviving the Apocalypse.

With that said most people won't survive the Apocalypse because they lacked basic common sense and not self sufficient. For example the OP and the people that posted on this thread. The OP lack some of the very basic survival supplies that are needed to you know survive. Instead he list more weapons than a typical military person carry for battle. Electric items, Satellite phones, GPS, CB radio, etc. it's like they going to work in a post Apocalypse world even if he has a generators. Good luck with that fantasy.

Your idea of blowing your head off is sound because you understand that it best to leave the remaining resources to the true revivalists. You know you won't survive without the internet, TV, XBOX. etc so why brother right? Good for you.

 

[Heronblade]

I doubt you carry 60 pounds for "over a thousands mile." I really doubt that. Even military people don't carried 70-100lbs for "over a thousands mile" in their career. No one are stupid enough to do that unless you are in the military. Military people carrier that much weight because they have too not because they want enjoy it.

I bet you never been to the country. There something called tree when you enter off road. Tree vs. Car 10 out 10 of times trees win.

You need power to pump gas out of gas station. Electric power. There won't be any electric power in an Apocalypse scenario.

Modern car prevent people from using hose to steal gas. Really old cars you can do it but not cars that were produce in the past 20 years. In order to steal gas from cars you need to go under the car and drill a hole in the gas tank. That require power tools. That's not going to happen in post Apocalyspe.

Like I've previously posted you don't want to make contacts with other groups of humans. The different between a zombie and normal Apocalypse is that in a zombie apocalypse there is an extra threat, ie Zombie. The main threat in any Apocalypse scenario are other humans even in a zombie Apocalypse scenario.

-I say 60 as an absolute maximum amount I carry, water and food included, you keep claiming that I mean 70-100... I wouldn't go any real distance with a load even approaching 100 pounds, that would be stupid beyond belief.
-60-120 mile week long hiking trips, 11 of them so far spread out over several years, feel free to disbelieve me all you like, I won't bother with trying to clarify or prove myself any further on this point. You might actually be correct that it hasn't been over a thousand yet, I haven't exactly been keeping an exact record, but it is close enough to not really matter.
-car vs tree might mean the tree wins, but truck with decent suspension vs a flat field, dirt path, pasture (with either no fence or one that can be dismantled), etc. tends to go the other way. This nation might have been pretty much nothing but trees at one point, but those days are long gone. While there are still regions of forest too dense to pass through, we've been blazing trails for so long that there is always a way around.
-getting gas out of a station's supply is easy, its called a little brute force to open up the cap, and a bucket on a rope. Tedious, but effective, and without a need for electric power.
-It is true that modern cars are difficult to siphon from, although that doesn't apply to the larger trucks. You do not however need a drill of any description. A pickaxe or similar tool can easily be used to punch a hole, the only difficult issue being tilting the car onto its side in order to be able to swing (patience, caution, a jack or preferably two, and a few blocks can work wonders) You can even use most kinds of tire iron for the puncturing job in a pinch, just expect your hands to be sore as hell afterwards from all the hammering.
-yes I bloody well do want to avoid other humans, that was a large part of the point of going somewhere so remote. Yes, I expect to have to hide from others, and that any confrontation with them can mean death. As I mentioned before however, my intentions include moving as soon as possible after the initial crush, well before any bands of survivors can become mobilized enough to do more than clear out a few small sections of territory for themselves.

hahahah.

You really are funny.

I'm sure you go hiking 60-100 mile long trips with 60lbs of weight. Why don't you join the Marine Corp because it going to be easy for you. You only have to hike 48 miles with full battle gear to pass boot camp.

You really never been into rural America have you? Your lack of understanding of rural America roads show it in your post. When you enter rural America, roads are very narrow. There might be ditches that run parallel to the road to act as drainage. Next to the ditches there might be trees and lots of them. The further away you go away from the city, the roads turn from paved to gravel or dirt. Oh did I mention there also lots of trees and ditches in rural America?

Keep believing your truck can push trees down and cross deep ditches You need it.

"a little brute force to open up the cap, and a bucket on a rope." Do you know how stupid that sound? Keep repeating it and you understand why. hahahahah

I assume you never fix a car in your life. If you did you won't make the silly comment about pickax. If you're super strong enough you can flip the car over and than use the pickax. That would work. How many people have a pickax in their home? hahhahah

Keep believeing you're a great leader that will lead humanity out of the zombie Apocalypse. When they kill you in your sleep and take everything from you. You'll think otherwise.

Zombie isn't the main threat in a zombie Apocalypse or any Apocalypse. People are the main threats. Good luck in your fantasy world because you'll need it.

This is getting more than a little tiresome. I can understand some debate over whether or not something will work, but I would really appreciate it if you stopped this crap with claiming something I never began to hint. I am not leading a damn thing, I have no desire to lead anything, and am well aware that I would do a piss poor job if I attempted to lead anything, even if I could find others not willing to slit my throat, I'm talking about a desperate plan to survive that involves me getting the hell away from everyone and everything else, most likely to end in my death either on the way, or not too long afterwards

-The marines in boot camp carry significantly more weight, go at a faster pace, and go further in a single day than I ever would, while yelling at the top of their lungs much of the way. I go the distance at a slow pace, with regular breaks, enjoying the scenery on the way. Far, far easier than what they have to put up with.
-I work in rural America sir. In one of the more heavily forested regions of the nation. I don't have to travel the whole way, or even a significant portion of it offroad, just remain flexible enough to avoid the occasional roadblock by taking a different road or cutting through someone's farm/yard for a short distance.
-Typical cap on a gas reservoir has two lids, one resembling a smaller version of the manholes you see every day, and another below it sealed with a lock. Break that lock and lowering something in is simple.
-I said a pickaxe would be the ideal tool, not that it would be the only possible option, or that it is something incredibly common. a regular axe, a straight claw hammer, a standard hammer and a nail, and dozens of other possible tools exist. I just singled out the pick as the most convenient in terms of reliably punching a hole with minimal effort or swings.
-Flipping a car on its side with jacks and blocks is entirely possible, if not necessarily easy, or safe, doesn't require much strength either if the jack is worth anything at all. I've helped do the reverse before, with a top heavy tractor stuck in a tight spot we couldn't quite reach with other equipment. Much more difficult and much heavier than a car would be, we did have the help of another tractor to pull it up the last 50 degrees or so via a chain however.

With that said most people won't survive the Apocalypse because they lacked basic common sense and not self sufficient. For example the OP and the people that posted on this thread. The OP lack some of the very basic survival supplies that are needed to you know survive. Instead he list more weapons than a typical military person carry for battle. Electric items, Satellite phones, GPS, CB radio, etc. it's like they going to work in a post Apocalypse world even if he has a generators. Good luck with that fantasy.

-I listed more weapons than any military person would carry to battle, with no intention of handling more than a single rifle and side arm at once, or even necessarily at all. For a variety of reasons, including the possibility of notifying other humans I am in the area, I'd rather go the entire trip without firing a shot.
-If you paid attention, I acknowledged that the radio and other items may be useless in the long run. However, the satellites required to keep the GPS and satphone operational will remain in orbit and functional long after I would normally die of old age, with the phone possibly remaining useful if there are places in the world that didn't fall into anarchy. The radio, even if I never use it to communicate with others, can warn me if people are in the region. I can navigate somewhat without the GPS, but it will make finding alternative routes on the way up far easier, not to mention finding a safe place to stop.

 

[Ix Rebound]

Mostly likely for me:
run down to the gun shop.
grab some guns and ammo
turns out i made too much noise and now im surrounded
hopefully i get a couple before im overwhelmed
pop myself in the head(zombies aren't getting me!)

You know what the problem with your scenario? Everybody will do the same thing. If the owner or employees isn't at the shop, whoever get there first will get all the guns and ammo. For the people that disagree with him, they'll get shot.

*sigh* its sad because it's true

 

[Lunar Templar]

edit: removed quote cause i miss read it

realistic answer: be nummy

not realistic answer: acquire some MK7 power armor, a jump pack, a Power Sword, a Storm Bolter and Melta Gun for back up go to town on the undead abominations

cause. screw any 'realistic' answer for zombies >

 

[exessmirror]

i live only 2 miles from marine base. one of my friends is a natres officer which can get me faster evac. one of my friends has guns, he only lives 200 meters close. we shoot guns so now and then with some other friends, i think i will be alright. though i would prefere a other kind of apocolypse, one in which i wont get eaten so quikly

 

[TheDharmaFox]

I live in Canada, so I'll risk the major population center, I'll go up to the top of the CN Tower, arms full of vaseline, and then coat the stairways in all the petroleum slippery goodness! No zombies getting at me!
However starvation soon sets in and I die.

 

[bluegate]

Zombies are so overrated, they are slow moving fragile bodies... I don't see why anyone would perceive them as a threat when you can out-jog them.

 

[Bloedhoest]

Get drunk. Probably.
And get my crowbar.

 

[laggyteabag]

I'd probably grab all the food I can get and hold up in my loft until-
A) I get rescued by survivors/Army
B) The crisis is over and we can all continue our daily lives
C) My food runs out, and the zombies are still roaming free, in which case I'll commit suicide via gunshot (Unlikely, I live in Engalnd) or knife to the face.

As much as I wish I was, I'm not some combat experienced super-soldier, or survivalist. I'm only 14 for Christ sake. If zombies break in, I'll try to take them down, but chances are, I'll be some lucky Zombies meal for the next few minutes.

 

[RickyRich]

That depends, what kind of zombies we talkin about? "Night of the living Dead" or "Left 4 Dead"? I will just say the classic "Living Dead" zombie.

Step 1: Make sure the 12-guage is clean and loaded with slugs.
Step 2: Invite in my girlfriend, friends, family, and other farmers in the area. (this will total less than 100 people).
Step 3: Set up thick metal wall around the 20 acres I live on.
Step 4: Set up wind turbine to provide power, dig well, and run septic as far away as possible (manure??)
Step 5: Plant wheat, corn, potatos, tomatos, and squash (they all grow here), and have some cattle.
Step 6: Hide behind wall while zombies bang away outside. However, the wall is too thick for them to break it down.
Step 7: Set up wild-west style government to watch over the town of "New America". The flag will continue to be the US flag.
Step 8:
