Gather my family and friends up, arm them, hit up a grocery store, stock up, and then head up to an isolated very rich area that’s nearby here. We’d take one of the estates/mansions and occupy it. If someone else is occupying it, we seize it anyways. They can live, but under our command. We’d rotate watch every night. We’d assemble strike teams to go out and get resources when needed, and then defense teams to hold ground. Women and children will only act as civilians. Those who join our team that later become traitors and refuse to follow chain of command will be abandoned and left out to die. I’d essentially try and create my own Army and lead it. We’d have engineers, former military, and others with certain skill sets that will benefit us as a whole. If occupancy becomes full, Id assign someone else to create another branch at another nearby area. We’d have engineers developing a communications system. You get my point lol. Getting waaay to into this fantasy lol

Well I live in a small town where tons of people are armed and there's nothing but wide open space outside of town so I'd gather weapons family, my friend and our families friends a lot of which have law enforcement or military training and get outside of town.

I'd let them bite me, because I'm already dead on the inside and then I'd feel complete the first time ever :')

Open a deep fried brain fast-food shop.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I would turn off the TV and return to reality.

mattdzz · Answer

Go home, suit up (body armor, camo, etc.), load up (I've already got a dozen firearms including assault rifles and thousands of rounds of ammo. If there were literally hordes tearing people apart in the streets, I would set up shop on top of the ALDI down the street and start laying waste to an area about 1km2 (which is about as far as I can accurately shoot with the weapons I have on hand).
If I have a little more time to get things together, I'll get my family who lives ten minutes away and go to my grand parents cottage up north. We'll hunker down and shoot any zombies via regular patrols during the day (no going out during the night), and I'll eventually start a small colony, start a family, then after a new generation is brought up lead an army and retake West-Michigan.

If it was in my city I guess I’d quickly close my steel hurricane shutters and lock them down from the inside. Harvest a bunch of food from the garden and bring it inside. Lock the fence gates down. The walls are concrete and rebar and the primary entrances are steel hurricane doors so I wouldn’t really worry too much about a breach, but I would barricade primary entrances anyway just so I could sleep easy. From there inside work to fill as many containers with water including bathtubs and make ice blocks. Check my inventory in my pantry and fridges/freezers. Lock and load and chill until the major chaos ran it’s course over a week or two as people ran out of food and water then collaborate with neighbors to clear and loot… Living with hurricanes I always have a sizable pantry, I have a water well, a food forest, a generator, and some solar so I wouldn’t really worry too much.

Duckysback · Answer

I just flew back home for my winter break a few days ago so I’m already where I need to be. Have most of what I would never need here. So the plan would basically be to grab a few people, bring them here, and hunker down. It gets below freezing here at night this time of year so zombies wouldn’t be much threat at the moment.

morecow · Answer

Well right now I'm isolated from my family and close friends by about 1000 miles and 200 miles respectively. I have a pretty rough starting position, but assuming I have the ability still, I'd fill up my car at the base gas station, and start heading east. Chances are incredibly high everyone will be dead by the time I arrive, but what else am I gonna do? Die, probably, if I'm being realistic.

Youryeodongsaeng · Answer

To me, it will be a purge. I'm going to wait for most of the population are zombies, go to a conveince store and steal all the hot Cheetos and Powerades.

It will be like, I have all the time in the world to do stuff. Even though, I will have to survive on my own. Maybe I could rob every store in my town so I can fly overseas and live in Japan, but I will need a job there and earn lots of money.

addlinny · Answer

I'd gather essentials like food and find a way to sanitise water. Then I would gradually travel to try to find friends and family, using phones to make plans whilst still online. Past that priority would be to set up a permanent safe area preferably using an old style mill using river water (there are a few nearby in the UK). Then expanding the safe area and setting up farmland would be a pretty good start.

Ephermerallhama · Answer

Well, I'm the kind of guy that has created several contingencies if there is a zombie apocalypse. I would firstly try to understand what kind of zombies I'm dealing with and then decide whether I want to fortify a location or choose to keep moving towards a safer area (i. e the woods or the mountains, some kind of terrain that's difficult for the shamblers to navigate through, even a boathouse).

cheapshotbob · Answer

find a place with one door no windows at least 2 storys and made of brick mixed
with lead too keep the radiation out if it comes to that. and then i would look for food in the times i know the zombies will be foraging for things and get back before they return..

TheLawAroundHere · Answer

Drop half sticks of dynamite in 3 drug stores drive up window slots. My family and i are an ill group.

Then retreat to the high ground. We already have the basis of a fortified position on my familys property.

Then id abduct Negan. It would be best to have him on your side.

sammy2toes · Answer

I would tape thick magazines to my forearms due to reflex of defense. Loot, loot, make some explosives for distractions and other. Then steal some gas and make for the great wide open to build a house that is a fortress.

Frightening · Answer

Ooo fun question. im currently at home, laying in bed in my room, and if the zombie apocalypse started right this very moment, I would run around my house, closing and blocking off all windows and possible entry ways into my house.

Secret6620 · Answer

Gather a my camping gear from the Marine Corps, grab a water purifier and head off into the woods with a radio to keep updates on the outbreak. I will not be around other people. My dog is coming too. ♥️

SuperManiac · Answer

I think what I would do is like not try to move so slow and be so dumb like all the other ones. I try to learn stuff like don't walk in front of a guy with a samurai sword or move out of the way if someone is pointing a shotgun at my face. I want to try to teach the others to do the same and then maybe we can all survive and try to learn how to use weapons.

AlidaMullakkara · Answer

Tell my crush that I like him 😅😂 I haven't really had the guts to do that lol.

R_ūshī · Answer

Find a bomb shelter, gather ration , some basic stuff to survive, get one of those cordless phones, some weapons.

Stay in the bomb shelter until I find other people who can get me out of here. If not then I'd just starve to death.

Randomawkwardness · Answer

I would just get a tent and go camp out on some rooftop. I mean, I'll give it two months top for the first horde of them to be too rotted to move and maybe 6 months for the majority to be completely over.

jeemm · Answer

If it isn't something like those walking dead zombies that a tortoise would outrun I'd just go to some island after stocking up and getting some growing seeds for surviving long term.

douride2 · Answer

If it started today I would run down & buy more shotgun shells.

Anonymous · Answer

Download a load of music off Spotify, buy loads of paperbacks and charge them before electricity goes. Then I would probably kill myself after a while.

Schloss · Answer

Go to the local gun store and raid anything I can. I'd aim to be in charge and find people to group together to run a city and keep things from breaking down.
