What is your plan

[Muddled]

for when the zombies come? Do you leave? Stay put?

How will you survive? Are you prepared? Are you prepared to wing it?

What are your chances of making it 3 months? How long do you think you could get by?

[dcannie]

my husband knows to go ahead and kill me. if he can't do it i guess i will have to do it myself.
i have no real survival skills, a wonky hip, and a true need for indoor plumbing. i would just slow him down and be a liability.

My zombie plan is the same as my flood and hurricane evacuation plan. Which are, you know, things that actually happen on a fairly regular basis.

I saw one of these posts a couple months ago where people actually have the 72 hour kits and the monthly stash and it freaked me out. I don't think DH would let me give up. I have no supplies at this point other than guns. So I think we'd throw on the dog's leashes and we'd start looting.

[bowies]

My plan is to stockpile weapons and trade them for food and supplies as needed.

What are you trying to say here, Broc?

I've already trained my children in the proper use of flamethrowers and to aim for the head. Incidentally, this isn't working out so well for them in preschool where smaller children have a tendency to look and smell like zombies. I've had to sign a few letters.

Once we've cleared a path we will head for the hills. And survive.

I think I could make it 3 months. I'm not sure I would want to though. I like my electricity and indoor plumbing.

Pretty much this

We have a location we're headed to and know how to barricade ourselves. We're planning to purchase guns soon. No stockpile of food yet, but it's planned.

Also, my parents and sister know that if I call them and say zombies are here they are to immediately move to the safehouse. I was dead serious and sober when I told my mother this and swore I would never say it as a joke. She was actually touched that I thought of saving them too.

Oh, and I work out a lot so I can run away.

Run far away from the death and destruction, and guzzle copious amounts of liquor when you arrive at your destination?

Oh, I also forgot to mention that DH is avidly stockpiling batteries. I asked him why and he said, "barter power". K.

[broc]

H grabs the fireproof safe that has all our documents in it put it in the go bag with clothes, some rations, spare glasses flashlights, water tablets, soap, diapers, a few tools and a battery-operated radio, then make sure we have backup glasses and all his medications. I grab some of Joaquin's crap (a few toys and stuffed animals, plus her blanket and if I have the time all her disposable diapers) and Joaquin. Pile in the car and GTFO ASAP.

For Zombies, I might add 'grab bikes', because that's a far, far better way to travel for the apocalypse.

lol fein.

We are in an urban center and, unless we have a huge huge window of time before the zombies make it here, we are SOL. We have food sources all around for a little bit, but there would be a shitton of competition to get to them. I will be jumping.

Also, without public transportation, we would be stuck here, so there's that.

Can zombies swim? This will determine my answer.

You need to determine your zombie rules first.

A rage zombie could likely swim because there's no decomposition. An undead zombie, no. Although sometimes the creators let them walk under water which is totally stupid because decaying flesh should float.

My plan is to do exactly as my husband orders me to do for the first time ever in my life. It's also been explicitly discussed in no uncertain terms that this is the ONLY time he is allowed to give me orders instead of asking politely.

I'm not certain what HIS plans entail, but he's the expert on zombie avoidance in our family.

We've also fully discussed that if either of us is bitten, we're to shoot the infected person immediately. None of this "but I loooooove you" bullshit.

[kellbell191]

We live in the middle of nowhere next to a bunch of rednecks and a cattle farm. So I'd probably steal the rednecks guns, eat the cows and chill in the basement with the pets. I normally stockpile a ton of food anyway, but we don't have guns. I'm a vegetarian for whatever that counts...

[FroggyFarts]

We're in the suburban city right now so we'd likely need to bunker down and loot for survival. Dependent on the spread of zombie-ism, we might head for the hills which are 45 minutes by car.

In the next five years, we'll be moving to a more rural area near natural water sources. Then I'll totally strike the lottery and build a fortress. /zombie survival plan

I'm for the stockpiling of weapons for trading for food and supplies.

[partiallysunny]

Kidless, I use to think I would wing it. Now, I seriously consider going all survivalist. I don't own any guns, nor do I plan to, but I have friends I know I can go to for help. Hopefully they don't turn into zombies first.

Plus if they walked deep enough they'd get crushed by the pressure.

My plan is to join em.
