    Realistically the military will eventually clear everything, I just have to survive the weeks it would probably take.

    Id buy a bunch of shelf stable food, a wood burner, bunch of lumber for barricading, nails, portable batteries for keeping out phones charged, a big battery for the router (even when thr power is down, internet isnt), guns. A bunch of bottled water too. A bunch of hand sanitizer too to clean out hands constantly if needed

    I think thats all I’d need to sit this out. I think the hardest part would be convincing family that theres gonna be a zombie Apocalypse

      We going camping Boyz!

      You only have 2 days before news finds out anyway. You can convince them somehow.

    Go online.

    Research how many sleeping pills it takes to die.

    Go out and buy them.

    Spend time doing things I enjoy with people I like.

    Crush the pills up into a drink and pound it.

    Go to sleep.

    Life’s already hard. I don’t need to live in a post-apocalyptic world.

    Go shopping. Enough to last for a couple of months. Bring some water, as well. Buy some lumber to reinforce the doors. A few steel panels to close off a few strategic places. Raid the library.

    Wait a month and allow flies and the weather do their thing.

    See the not-so-dead fall apart.

    After I stop seeing movement for three straight days, start blasting noise on a high visibility location from my location and wait to see what crawls out.

    By this time, I risk two months have already elapsed.

    Go out, with a shovel and an axe.

    Dig a large pit, fill it with fire wood. Lay down a few of the corpses. Stack it as high as I can make it. Cover with more fire wood.

    Syphon some diesel from a random car.

    Light it up!

    Rinse, repeat, until all the corpses I can find are disposed of, grouping together all the survivors I come across.

    Start over.

      I recommend buying potatoes. Not for eating, but for planting. Preferably before you lock yourself in for a few months. And along with it, a book on how to farm your own vegies from the library.

        Potatoes are great. Low maintenance crop but it does require a lot of water. Sunchokes are a good option as well, for an Autumn harvest; keeps well in the ground. Down side is the winds.

        I’d recommend getting some broad leaf vegetables seeds, like cabbage. My country has a variety that can be harvested leaf by leaf and just keeps growing and producing seeds, year after year. Some turnips, too. And some tomatoes and chillies. And beans.

    I live near a number of gun stores, because America, and I have a realistic understanding of my capabilities. Now I’m not saying that I’m going to use the gun on myself, but the truth is I only really need to buy one bullet.

    Stock up, stay inside, and wait for the zombies to die from either dehydration or starvation.

    Living on an upper floor comes in handy for once, as it’s actually fairly easy to barricade the front door. Alert some key close friends and family members who will actually believe me. Then stock up on canned goods, fill every possible thing I can with water, and grab some camping solar kits for power once the grid goes down.

    After that? Hunker down. Avoid being clearly seen in windows or heard to prevent attracting the undead. I reckon I need to last about 6-9 weeks.

    See, the thing is, zombies are going to die out. The average human can go 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food. Let’s assume zombies have a magical lack of need of hydration, so they last 3 weeks. Double that for the time they’ll have ample food. Assume another 3 weeks that they’ll cannibalize each other or something.

    At that point, I can begin to venture outside. Small numbers of capable zombies may still exist, but most will be dead or starving. Other survivors are my greatest worry.

    If possible, just get in my family’s van and get into a big enough accident that I die. I ain’t living in any form of zombie apocalypse if I have the choice.

    Hole up in Costco for two weeks or so.

    The rotting corpses who only hunger for flesh are going to be eaten by animals and bugs. Because they don’t have regular ways to maintain water balance for muscles they will atrophy and become immobile. They will pretty much be a non threat while I have plenty of food and shelter to last me.

      Many of the more modern and realistic takes have it caused by an organism that’s gone endemic. Meaning anything or anybody that dies changes, regardless of if they were bitten. This provides a constant source of new zombies. In addition to the fact that other survivors are usually a bigger threat than the zombies themselves.

      I remember Neil DeGrasse Tyson explaining away zombies. Really took the immersion out of any zombie movies. Basically what you said, but more of it.

      The power grid is usually one of the first things to go during a zombie apocalypse. Only the shelf stable food will be usable after a few days. That being said, there’s plenty of space in the warehouse to hole up.

        I guess the better question is: why? To what end? Live out some doomer prepper fantasy? The world would be right fucked and you’d be out in the middle of nowhere by yourself which you could do right now without the zombies.

          I mean I get that but with solar panels and some MacBooks you could have a good amount of time playing games with friends and fishing. No bills, no job job. Heck I don’t even like fish, or any seafood, but it wouldn’t have to be bad bad. Like it’s not my fantasy per se, I would miss civilization, but it sure beats death and in some ways beats capitalism.

          Good questions. I don’t understand why some people are absolutely determined to suffer as much as possible and “live” through the inevitable hellscape that would follow the collapse of society. Just face reality and end it quickly.

          That’s a really good question. I know “zombie apocalypse” isn’t well defined, but it usually indicates a complete and total destruction of society. Even once the zombies are gone, there’s no civilization to return to. It’s not like a hurricane, where people start to rebuild.

          Considering the post-post-apocalypse, I’m not sure it’s a world I would want to be part of.

        A cabin in the woods when there’s zombies out there? You’d never sleep! I’d take my chances trying to find a compound.
