POLL; WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF THE WORLD WENT INTO A ZOMBIE APOCOLYPSE?

    YES! I love this question!

    I've been preparing for a zombie outbreak for like the past 4 years! Honestly, with all the stuff going on concerning mutating viruses and deadly bacteria and nano-technology, a zombie outbreak is bound to happen sooner or later.

    THE PLAN

    I read the Zombie Survival guide my Max Brookes so I am prepared. First things first, get away from big cities and densely populated areas. This is where the majority of zombies will be once people get converted.

    FOR STARTERS

    Depending on the circumstances, I'd fill up my car at a gas station, but chances are it would be out, crowded, or being looted by crazed people (which are deadlier than zombies). If I couldn't do that, I would take the gas out of my dad's truck and my roomies car, so I had a full tank. I'd get my roomie, my dog, and my needed stuff, throw it into the car and take the 8East out to the middle of nowhere.

    THINGS TO PACK

    Bottled water, canned food, dry foods, can opener, matches, gasoline, lighter fluid, knives, knife sharpener, axe, machete (yes I own 2), rope, zipties, polytarp, blankets, glow lights, my Army field manual, 100% cotton clothes, cold weather gear, warm weather gear, water purification tablets, a pot, a pan, some eating utensils, a first aid kit, 2 pairs of dust/sun goggles, large bandana, leather gloves, my Army boots, dog food, Advantage, water bowl, and leash (for the pooch), my SureFire flashlight with extra batteries, and some mini-propane tanks. (Yes, I have all of these things).

    STUFF I NEED BUT DON'T OWN

    I would make a detour at the local gun shop and stock up on shotguns and shotgun shells. I'd also get a Beretta or M1911 .45 handgun. You only need to make a head shot, not tear their limbs off, and since Zombies are slow a .22 would do. But since people are the greater threat in times of mass panic, you need yourself a decent body dropper, hence the .45.

    LONG TERM

    Obviously canned food and water will run out. In order to get food, the best bet, but riskiest way would be to find a small town and scavenge. Stick to stores first. They are more likely to have food, and the long, wide aisles make it hard to get creeped up on should there be any lingering zombies. I would kill any I found to make sure they didn't attract more with their moans. Regardless, more zombies will show up, so once you get what you need, it's time to jet. Fresh water might be harder to find, but a good place to look is toilet tanks (no joke). US toilets hold about 4 gallons of fresh water in the big tank in the back. This water would require only basic water purification, not filtering. Since I do not have a radio, I would keep any eye out for one.

    HUNTING

    Yes, now time for the dirty work. You can run and run but zombies can survive for a LONG time befor they decay into nothing. You need to take a stand at some point. It's best to hunt zombies in packs so you don't get surrounded, and you usually want to out number the group of zombies you are encountering. Guns are a bad idea, since they are loud and attract more zombies. Stick to machetes, bats, crowbars and other things that don't need to be reloaded. I would wear my goggles, and cover my nose and mouth with a bandana. If zombie blood gets in your eyes, mouth, nose, or any open wound, you will get infected. I would wear leather gloves, long sleeves, pants, and shin-high boots. No baggy clothes that slow me down or that zombies can grab on to. When done killing the zombies, I'd MAKE SURE they are dead, pile the bodies, and burn them. Then I'd move on to the next town.

    Wherever I lived. I would make sure to keep my dog posted up and tied to a pole. My dog would alert me of any person or zombie approaching by barking. I would tie him up to keep him from attacking the zombies. Even though zombies might not attack dogs, if dogs bite zombies the dog will die (not turn into a zombie).

    Hopefully I'd find some more people, start a group or community, kill off the zombies and rebuild the human world better than it was before.

    I'd gather a small group of people together, get some supplies and weapons, and head for a remote area. Possibly high in the mountains somewhere. The zombies would obviously be more concentrated in the cities. Especially in hospitals, churches, and police stations. Plus with all the decay around, all the food and water supplies would be severely tainted in a city. At least if you managed to build a stronghold in the mountains, you could see them coming from a ways away. If you had the right kind of area, you could grow your own food and have a good water supply.

    Get me a M16, a two year supply of food and bullets, and go hang out at a giant mall with only two way in and out. Have it locked down and just live there. If a zombie was to get through. Kill it and place the body in a oven and cook his butt.

    Die. I can't run fast & I've never fired a gun in my life, I am screwed. I would go to the mall like the people in Dawn of the Dead though and try on all kinds of fun outfits and drink all the alcohol I could find and just have fun for my last day on earth!

    Depends on if WW3 is a full fledged nuclear war that kills everyone, because a zombie apocalypse will probably lead to the extinction of humans anyway.
