No particular time of the day of the dead.

Aye, I'd be more concerned with remnant humans than the overpopulated walking dead. In an 'ideal' situation, I'd have my zombie survival guide, weapons, food, water and a powerful purification kit of sorts, various tools that make survival all the more easier, and a couple to several means of transporation (horses, ATVs, boats, vehicles, etc...), and some company, preferably with enough females to go around. Then, I'd pack my bags and head for the least humanly populated area I can find, and someplace warm or tropical that has enough means of providing someone with desirable amounts of food (farmable land, vegetation, fruits, wildlife, etc...).

Unfortunately, such crises don't tend to happen or develop in most ideal or favourable conditions.
 
Find some isolated, almost totally depopulated area with good soil. Considering I live in Illinois this should not be hard.

Ok, here's mine.

The dead are after me! What on earth shall I do? Glad you asked. My plan revolves somewhat around where I am at when the shambling hordes of the undead overwhelm us 'live folk'. If I am at home, My first order of business would be to yank the seats out of my van and load it up with weaponry (my ruger .22 rifle, my beretta .40 cal and my kukri knife if nothing else), ammo, a few tools (fence pliers and one of those multi hatchets will be included) and some food. Next, I shall hightail it to Walkerton (a town not too far from me). (If I am at work when the zombie holocaust happens I would have to operate on what little I have in my vehicle but the general plan remains the same from here on out) In Walkerton is the perfect zombie fortress: Urey Middle School.

Why on earth would you go THERE? You may ask. Well, let's look at a few points that make this such a great place.

The building is constructed entirely of brick, which means nothing short of a tornado or a 6 on the Richter scale is gonna knock it down. Zombie fists rank about .0000000001 on that scale I think.(actually I have absolutely no idea I just wanted to make fun of those alive wannabes) The ground floor admittedly has a ton of windows BUT they all have that wire mesh stuff in them so they're shatterproof. Plus, they're pretty high off the ground. Once you seal off all the doors in a proper zombie barricaded fashion you're pretty well set. Now granted, nothing fabricated by man is perfect, so you'll ask me 'What if they get through THAT?' Therein lies the second great part of Ol' Urey, Three luxurious floors! Simply run upstairs and make sure you shut the door behind you! And you can do this two whole times! Possibly three if you can get on the roof (which I think you can.)! If they make it that far I guess you can just hang it up and die with the satisfaction that you at least briefly had a pretty sweet hangout until you left the door open, you 'tard! Oh well, 'Line up SCUM!' *ratatatatatatatatatatata*click* 'uh oh.........blearrrrrrrrrgh!' *thud* *chomp chomp* *getting back up and lurching around*

Ok, now I have the ultimate shelter from death personified. I shall not die by a zombies hand. Boredom, on the other hand just might do me in. Or will it? Why Urey Middle School has a library! Since I would have a great deal of free time on my hands, I guess I could catch up on my reading and learn a lot of things I'll never have the opportunity to apply! Or if I managed to bring any guns I'd snipe 'em from the second floor. And let's not forget the science classrooms just chock full of chemicals that'd be terrific for concocting some sort of explosive/incendiary to drop from the windows. Hopefully I'd manage to eliminate enough of them so I could go out on supply runs (I.E. looting houses and stores) with relative safety. If it came down to that I'd run over to one of the many factories in the area and employ a forklift to move wrecked cars off the road so I could drive around and be even safer!

Gosh, all of this is making me hungry! What should I have to eat? Well, I'm pretty sure there're freezers stuffed full of decent nourishment for all of those little brats. Provided the electricity holds out for any length of time I'd be alright until I can grow the seeds I got from Dollar General or the hardware store....unless i can't find any. But I'm sure I could eventually make it out and loot some stores as mentioned previously. Eh, nothing's perfect! I'll manage somehow! I hope....

Well, there ya have it! My survival plan in a nutshell. Anyone wanna come with?

nah my alcatraz one is better.

plus san francisco would have years and years worth of food left in it in canned food and other non-perishables.
 
well, yeah. but I live in Indiana thus making alcatraz a bit too long a drive through car wreck strewn and zombie infested roads to be feasible. Maybe after all the zombies have rotted away into dust we can look each other up and hang out. maybe watch a zombie movie or something. Ever seen Raiders of the Living Dead...?
 
no, RotLD is awful BUT it has the best theme song ever.

I saw something,
THAT I SHOULDN'T SEE

and now the zombies,
ARE COMIN' AFTER ME

THE DEAAAAAAAAAAAAAD
ARE AFTER MEEEEEEEEE

all to a quirky 80's rock beat. Long live George Edward Ott!
 
Well i disagree with what someone said earlier about Fort Knox being heavily guarded and whatnot. For one it is a basic training post which means that a lot of the soldiers don't know anything,and secondly, if a zombie outbreak did occur most soldiers would say fuck this and go with there families somewhere else.
But I guess we will never know until zombies invade so we will have to just wait that one out.
Anyway in case of zombie attack while I am at my house here is my plan.....

First I would gather all of my army gear and dump it on the floor (6 duffle bags full) and pick out the things I could actually use. Most likely I would take these things from my gear:

Uniforms
Sleeping gear
Backpacks
Kneepads and elbow pads
Flack vest
Ammo pouches
Gerber survival tool
E-tool (mini-shovel)
Canteens(2)
Camelback hydration system (2)
Spec Ops knife and Gerber knife
Mosquito net
Protective mask and Chemical suit
Wet weather gear
Poncho
Gortex jacket and pants
Poly pros (cold weather suit)

I think thats it for Army gear.Then I would go through the house and pack up my sword,extra knives,water,canned food,Alcohol bottles,extra t-shirts,underwear,socks,and hygiene stuff. As well as a radio,extra batteries,flashlights,and any blunt object I can find.
I wouldn't be doing all of this by myself mind you.My wife would be packing all of this gear with me,so it wouldn't take very long at all. A max of 15 minutes.
Now the next part is important,and depends entirely on the state of the military/outbreak level.If the post I live on is not under direct attack I will drive to a secluded area with some of my military buddies,grow crops,build fences and secure the area with claymores,and attempt to survive in the wild far away from any city or town.
If the post I live on is in a state of complete despair i.e :
Mass catastrophe.
People dieing left and right.
All hope is lost and the army is in a state of utter chaos.

Then I will go to the nearest motorpool with my group of survivors, jump in a couple of M88 recovery vehicles,Fuelers,and LMTV trucks,and then proceed to the wilderness,and set up base.

Now there are several other possibilites that could occur.I for one agree with the "Walking Dead" tactic and would like to take over a prison compound,but I don't know where the nearest one is,and It might still be occupied if we found one.The island plan that some mentioned is good,but you might need a helicopter or boat eventually to gather supplies,depending on how big the island is,and I for one would be scared that one day a legion of the dead might crawl out of the sea.

Ultimately though all plans will fail because billions of the undead will be trying to break through your base to kill you. The best bet would be to live in a severely cold enviroment secluded from everything like in the mountains or Northern Canada. Anyway I have a lot more ideas,but this is getting long so stockpile now and prepare for the worst!
 
I'd stop shower for a whole week, wear some tattered clothes, and you know, just to blend in with the zombies. And I'd take the oppurtunity to grope some zombie women.
 
It seems to me that in short order potable water would become the number one concern for survivors. This doesn't come a whole lot in zombie movies because they tend to focus on the immediate aftermath of mass zombification. My first move would be to locate some engineers. Guys who know how to keep stuff working (water purification, electricity, gas pumps, etc.) are going to be in short supply, and pockets of survivors are quickly going to be forced out of there barricaded areas to search for good water and working machinery. Looting will get you canned goods for years but bottled water supplies will run out long before that.

And, actually, most people I know are zombies already. They wander around aimlessly, groan a lot, and they die if you shoot them in the head.

Misteryo
 
Come to alcatraz everyone, its a walled in prison on top of an island that has a sheer drop all around it and an incredibly deep bay with a strong current... and its full of sharks.

and its surrounded by a large city on the shore on all sides, and has its own water purification and generators!

:P

Food is the only real issue, and boating to shore for raids would be the main tactic (there are tons of boats to choose from in San Francisco bay)
 
Seems pretty pointless not converting to necrophilia. Heck, they might be sub-humans, but they're still humans!
Doesn't matter if they rot, really; if she tries to push me away, I'll just rip her arms off.
 
I'd stab Bill Gates in the eyes and take his place on the escape rocketship to Mars. No zombies there!
 
Mondo Zombie-Groin-Kicking! Yee-Haw! And after I kicked 138 Zombies in the groin, I'll take my lawn-mower for a little ride... another slice, anyone?

do zombies need to "answer nature's call"? and if they did, would they use a toilet/gutter/shoe? or just let it run down their pants?

Easy. Just grab into your guts and throw the nasty stuff out.
 
I would call upon the god of death and destruction, Ning'Gra Zuul and take command of the living dead! I would amass the armies of the undead and wipe out all remaining humanity(except Milla Jovovich ofcourse) and then rule the earth!
 
I'd be making my way to Japan, where they cremate the dead. Nice island, great food, few dead bodies.

I take it you didn't know that Fort Knox is the home to the largest concentration of battle tanks in the US Army's arsenal? BS if they're going to flee when they have the one thing that zombies can't take out with their brute withering strength, mass in numbers, and rapidly-diminishing intelligence. Just because there's lots of recruits, that doesn't mean most of them would run from walking corpses.
But, the reason they would run, if anything, is because some kind of super-zombie could demolish the tanks. Not to say I'd hide out there (after a few months, they'd be out of fuel reserves), but they'd have a chance as a roving horde, slaughtering all zombies around refueling stations and army bases.
Instead, I'd go to the nearest gun store, find as many weapons I could carry, and head for the Rock Island Arsenal. A very well-defended position, even though it's just a munitions plant. I'd raid as much food in the surrounding area, and then sit up in the top of one of the warehouses there, throwing molotov cocktails and empty Spam cans at the zombies below.

Yeah but they have to deal with Godzilla, the ghosts of dead kamikaze pilots and tentacle demons with an unhealthy interest in their women.
