As long as you don’t have Interpol on your case, you can try to join the French Foreign Legion.
I know there’s a major thread here somewhere for dealing with zombies; it’s one of the things that endeared me to T-Nation when I first “discovered” it a year or so ago.
I don’t think running to the populated cities would be very logical in a Zombie invasion. I mean, cities are usually the absolute WORST places to be, because there are so many people there, and as a result the infection usually starts from such places.
It would also be very difficult to organize a large group of traumatized normal people who aren’t used to being in a hostile situation, let alone seeing rotting corpses waddling towards them. And then if you DO get a barricaded fortress set up, what do you do when you run out of food? If we are talking about the Dawn of The Dead zombies, then they simply won’t die from starvation or ‘age’. You will then be sorrounded by thousands upon thousands of living dead, like in the remake.
In my opinion, it’s much better to team up with your friends/loved ones and find a secluded place - like an island, mountain in Tibet etc. Buil your fortress there, along with a garden and maybe a farm if you can. You will last much longer there, and you won’t have any of those annoying characters in the films who screw everything up.
What do you guys recommend for your Zombie bug out bag. You know what you will take with you when you are on the move.
I plan on going with an AR-15 and lot’s of mags. Hi-Cap pistol. Fighting knife and a Samurai sword for when I run out of ammunition. Couple of tubs of Metabolic Drive and a box of bars. Laptop loaded with some porn. What else do you guys suggest?

That doesn’t work. Every person that goes out on those boats has a background check done on them. When you come back into port, the cops will be waiting for you.
With biomedical engineering some scientists could figure out what genetically or chemically defines a zombie so they recognize each other, and then apply it to humans/animals in order to be “invisible” to them.
If we ever got in trouble we could always pretend to be Michael Jackson (Thriller) and dance to confuse the zombies into dancing with us long enough to escape.
I’ll join the Swiss.

I think blunt objects or blades (machetes, swords etc) would be of better use against zombies than guns. Don’t you have to seperate the head from the body? (or is that vampires -lol).
‘handle’ the freaked out humans you’d encounter.

IF you have friends, loved ones, that’s a possibility, but our plan-making usually begins with teh assumption that you’re on your own (at least to start out)
But here’s my major problem with that train of thought - where do you stage the counter attack? I mean, come on, we cant just run to the hills and cede victory to the zombies. And after all, as you pointed out its possible the zombies wont die of starvation, so this is a problem that would need to be addressed.
You’re right, the average person might have difficulty being organized in a hostile situation - all the better to head for where masses of people are likely to be found so that as the weak are weeded out a few useful ones will be found.
The biggest problem with battling zombies (from my extensive experience in playing House of the Dead) is that reloading is never fast enough. Not to mention the fact that you not only have to deal with the ultra slow zombies, but also the half-zombie-half-booger things with jagged knives that fall from the ceiling.
Oh, and those damn worm-like things that jump out of the sewage water.

Why did you have to kill the dream.

Dude! Vampires require a stake through the heart! Cutting the head off is how to kill a Highlander…there can be only one! To kill a zombie…napalm comes to mind. So far, the wisest solution I’ve heard is just to be in the wild and not live with the rest of their food supply. Maybe make tracks for Newfoundland. I’ve never heard of Canadian zombies, and they probably don’t like the cold.
First, you should learn Canadian. It is a hard language, but it can be picked up fairly quickly. (I aced Canadian 101 and 102 in community college, so I could be biased). And it’s just generally good to know Canadian. Even if you are never on the run from the FBI, you will be better able to order back bacon and to appreciate the nuances of hockey.
Rock on.
i cannot believe this … strength in numbers, united we stand, join or die, live together die alone … havent any of these sayings sunk in? man, i;ll tell you what, if i get to the cities and all you survivalists are fleeing into the wilderness, I’m following THEN YOU WONT BE ALONE!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
TC should sent out a private message as soon as word hits the street of a zombie invasion and we should all meet in colorado at Biotest headquarters.
Then we have a huge supply of strong men capable of taking on thousands upon thousands of zombies and not get tired/become to weak to continue since we all have extensive physical training.
Obviously we will have free access to all the supplements and we will start a farm and build a giant moat/castle on a hill which can only be accessed by a pathway that winds up a hill so the zombies would have to encircle the hill several times before finally reaching the top… and we would obviously have a draw bridge and an extremely ‘never ending’ type cliff surrounding us as well.
Every T-man will have to bring his guns/weapons with him, and other survival equipment…
o yea… and all the T-vixens will be used as err… you get the idea:) no offense to the ladies…
By doing this… we will make the world a better place if only we survive… gene pool would be a lot cleaner.
Just think… no person every doing quarter squats again… or hogging the squat rack doing intense 80lb curls…

Maybe we should do this anyway, zombies or not.

I love it when a guy has a plan.
hahahahaha, you guys are funny.

Unless they’re zombies created from Einsteins, your planning on zombies making rational, intelligent decisions on where they should hunt is a sure recipe for becoming zombie-kibble.
And I should know, I just watched the documentary “Shaun of the Dead”. (research is critical)
I’m not saying the wilderness is a bad idea, just saying we all know zombies aren’t much for intelligence.
