Do you think you could survive a zombie apocalypses and how would you do it?


- I would survive. Survival is one of the things I'm best at. I don't mean I have survival skills but mentally it's like my comfort zone. Day to day life is so complicated for me with socializing and fashion and a ton of other things that seem really superfluous but actually have a big impact on your life in todays society. I get overwhelmed easily.
Survival makes things super simple you just know if I don't do this I'm gonna die and so you do it and you keep doing things to help you survive until the crisis is over or you're dead there's nothing else. It's like solving a simple puzzle over and over again because you have to. I could ignore 95% of all the stuff that takes up energy in my life now and just focus on the 5% that are gonna keep me alive and put all my energy into that. That's why whenever I get into a crisis in my life that's serious I get out of it really easily but when there's nothing threatening me then I have a difficult time focusing.1|00|0Is this still revelant? - i'd be the one to start the apocalypse1|01|1Is this still revelant?

2886- This was a long running discussion between my mates, on exactly what to do.
the single biggest thing is lose all compassion, compassion kills, so anyone within 5 foot of a zombie, gets slotted, that includes any bitten or phew that was a close call - nope that 9mm entering your cranium was even closer.
there are some good books on the subject.
Ideally taking over a large island and stopping anyone such a refugees with extreme prejudice is the only way to keep the island population intact. Some good contenders are Ireland, New Zealand, relatively small local populations, no tunnels, no bridges,
Simply clean out any potential infection, including family members infected or not (don’t take the risk). Then destroy every electronic devices and let the rest of the world get on with it. If living in UK the following ‘cities’ are deemed to be the best at a chance of surviving.
(Element of tongue in cheek lol).

ConPlan Zombie1|00|0 - Sure, no biggie… I live on the edge of a suburban/light urban and rural area. My garden is about 5 acres and I grow perennial veggies, fruits & nuts, mushrooms, etc. We basically have 12 month gardening here… Both saltwater and freshwater fishing is good around here. I have an artesian well that gives me pretty much unlimited water without electricity. My property is fenced and lined with barbed wire. I have a wall of bamboo growing around my property next to the fence as a windbreak… It’s not at full maturity at the moment, but in a couple of years it will basically be a 66ft impenetrable wall except on the south facing side… Drainage ditches are deep and basically castle moats... I live in Florida, so our houses are pretty much fortresses to begin with so as to withstand hurricanes. The trees produce enough fuel to make fires daily. I have tools to fix most things, weapons to defend myself, a ridiculous amount of knowledge tumbling around in my noggin… I’m a tall strong guy, well above average. I’ve been athletic my entire life. I was a state champion wrestler. I ran marathons. I’ve played all sorts of sports. I’ve spent a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking for weeks in the woods with just what was on my back, etc. I’m formally trained in the sciences. It’s basically like I’m starting the game on easy with cheat codes.1|00|0
- 1. Find a sustainable way to plant and harvest food so that I won’t starve
2. Find a clean water source + canteens to drink them in
3. I’d most likely want to live under grown or something like that and make myself a secure bunker to live in that has a hidden entrance so that zombies can’t find out where my shelter is.
4. I’d definitely want to have some weapons on hand just in case I’d actually have to fight some of them
5. Large but easy to carry bag so that I can carry around supplies and resources
6. Hunting Dog to help with finding food2|00|0 - Well I stockpile ammo for starters,
I also try to stockpile weapons.
From there all you need to have is enough canned food to last you the first 6-8 months. Let everything settle down and get quiet.
Then come out of your boarded up and reinforced bunker and start going on supply runs. First getting medical supplies.
Then getting food, water, etc.
I don't know about finding random survivors tho... not sure if I would kill them. But I definitely would not take anyone in1|00|0 - Let's just say if you're armed and you've spent some time in the wild before, then my answer would be yes. Judging by some people who can't go a day without their phone or hair dryer, probably half the population would be gone inside a few days. Food, water and shelter is first order of business, along with protecting family - after that, there would probably be no rules or laws.0|00|0
- I don't know it could go one of two ways because not even undead guys can resist me (yes, I am that hot);I just don't know if that means I'd be one of the first ones dead or if they'd have mercy and spare me :)
I mean, I'm basically blonde and so I could act like my stereotype and pretend that my brains are literally empty so they wouldn't want them lol... that might hold'em off, too :)2|10|0@Bhavin2184 yep but this wouldn't be a movie, and I'm not like most blonde girls :)
I'm better.So your the main character I see..
Used your weapon tennis racket wisely..
But the movie will fail and the world will be doomed because of blonde main character- Show All Show Less
@Bhavin2184 oh no I'm pretty awesome, if that movie ever comes out then I'll tell you and you can watch it... the blonde team would win lol
- Maybe if I am lucky. At least some of my close family have a house with a well on a smaller Island where you need a ferry to go to, or I think I can manage to swim if the sea is relatively quiet. So if I can manage to get there chances are ok for surviving at least for some months, I guess. Until the Island is taken over by crazy people, of course :P. Alternatively there are several castles on the way there, maybe one of them are good for settling down. That would be epic :D1|10|0
Maybe you can also pick me alone the way. Don't really wanna end up as a zombie🧟♂️
- Show All Show Less
Oh, I think I'm done then.
Since India and its neighbor China are the most populous countries in the world, there would be billions of zombies to deal with. 😅
- Yes. Depending on the type of zombies it would mostly be a waiting game.
Don't waste time fighting, spend more time figuring where there is a local food joint which can be easily accessed, and a high, defendable place.
I'm thinking suburban supermarket. Less people than the city (thus less zombies) and as the area around them is usually clear, it's easier to keep lookout.2|00|0 - Yes, I’m smart enough to outthink the zombies who are no longer able to see, but still have their hearing and smell intact. I have an underground bunker owned by my great grandfather. It’s guarded with iron walls, and has a very very strong sealed hatch to it. He supplies food and drinks down there just in case there is something lethal threatening the human race.1|10|0
- Nope. With my back issues, as soon as my medications were gone, I wouldn't be able to walk or stay upright for more then 30 seconds at a time. With my knees, I wouldn't be able to walk all that far, at least not more then 1x every few days. Though I am in the process of getting them replaced. So by the end of the year, the knees might not be an issue. But without narcotics for my back, I would be in so much pain I wouldn't want to live.1|00|0
- Aside from the fact that "Zombies" like in the movies are BIOLOGICALLY IMPOSSIBLE, I have my ZK-22 rifle, and know that head shots or spinal shots put them down!
This guy Jabbers a LOT, so fast forward to about 4:30https://www.youtube.com/embed/vE_7L96xi-I1|00|0 - Honestly, If it were like the walking dead kind of apocalypse, I'd most likely opt-out.
I've lived a good life, and I'd rather choose how I die. The alternative is that I would eventually die by being eaten alive. No thanks. Terrible way to die.1|00|0 - In terms if comparing myself physically to others I think I have a higher chance than most.
But when it comes to forming alliances with other people I would fail. I would have to be one of those loners who survived by himself.
Either that or I'd have to become a brutal sort of leader who is a dictator and weilds a lot of power among my group. Which I can't imagine being today but in a apocalypse scenario? Morals just go out the window lol.1|00|0 - This reminds of that video by calebcity about a zombie apocalypse
It depends on what kind of zombies, if it's those ones that can do parkour and stuff... nah, I'm dead day 1.
Even then, though, the quality of life during such an event would be so horrible I don't know if I would even want to survive it1|00|0 - I would for sure. I'd maintain a guarded fence facility. Regularly kill zombies daily and burn the bodies. Plant food in the fields inside my gates. Only allow people in who can bring food.
If they come to the gate empty handed i would point them where to find wild game and if they wanted group protection, that they need to go kill one and bring it to the group. No unknowns come in for free.1|00|0 - Zombies would die off pretty quickly.
But if you mean the magic zombies like in the movies then just use a bow and a 22lr subsonic with suppressor. And head to an island, clear it, catch fish, build solar and scavange medical equipment, have lots of sex to enjoy the free time and ride it out.1|01|0 - Well I live in a small town, have weapons in my house and there's a military base in town and it takes maybe 10 minutes to get out of town and into the countryside and there's a decent portion of my family is ex military or active military so there's a pretty good chance I'd be ok.1|00|0
- Zombies require headshots to kill. But I have semi-auto.22LR rifles and pistols and many bricks of ammo, so the hard part would be loading the magazines - and dealing with the smell of stacks of dead, rotting zombies.0|00|0
- You would have to be active in the day, have body armour, modify vehicles for ramming unused cars out of the way, and zombies. And have a collection of scientists that can find a clinical solution to the plague that renders infected people useless. And loads of weapons.1|00|0
- I'd teach the other zombies not to walk towards people holding shotguns. Like walk towards the ones that don't have any weapons and aren't paying attention.0|00|0
I'm assuming I'd turn into a zombie pretty soon. But I think I might have an edge in surviving as a zombie.
- Depends on how long and what kinda zombies were talking... day of the dead zombies sure... world war z prob not longer then a few weeks... resident evil zombies in screwed if the animals turn.3|00|0
- I'd like to think I could. My boyfriend knows how to survive in nature, I know how to shoot. We both know how to bash things in the head. I know how to heal others. I'm pretty agile and strong. My boyfriend is strong and fast.1|10|0
- For a bit, sure. I don't know about long term, if only because that always seems to be a failing in zombie films. We always fuck up our survival somehow.
That said, I live in a rural area, have the means to defend myself, and have a few years in the Army under my belt. On the down side, I am not nearly in the physical shape I was once in.1|00|0 - Big ass boat people, thats how you do it...
Add some fishing gear and a couple of books on ocean fishing and how to cook the fish. And you are set for life👍2|00|0I had that idea too. Good size ocean capable sailing boat, plenty of spares, medical supplies, fishing equipment, etc. Would also need to be big enough to carry some moderate sized weaponry. Black Pearl maybe? www.superyachttimes.com/yachts/black-pearl-107m
- I'd post life-size cardboard figures of Nancy Pelosi in a full anti-Trump rant: that should be enough to frighten them off and possibly even explode their heads.1|10|0
- Depends 24 days later or walking dead? Walking dead id be good.
Watched 24 weeks later again. That run to escape the house chased by zombies still gets my adrenaline going.1|10|0 - I'm anti social, so 3/4 of the population would already be dead by the time I knew there was a problem. 🤷♂️0|00|0
- yes, eat the zombies. Less filling, taste great... except a little rotten parts. Act like a zombie.0|00|0
- I'd probably would just kill myself right away, my will to live isn't strong enough to deal with a zombie apocalypse.2|00|0
- I think I could survive if I keep the main character mentality. Maybe God will give me plot armor2|00|0
- The real question is would the zombie apocalypse survive ME?1|10|0
- Yeap. I’m already isolated so even if I can’t get with my group, I’ll be fine. Execute my neighbor, and chop down the phone lines so they land into the road and prevent cars from traveling out here. Then bug out and lay low.1|00|0
- I think I would have a fighting chance to survive. I have a few skills that would be helpful.
The best way to survive is to have help. It's something that's not a loner job.2|00|0 - I wouldn't survive, I would thrive, holding an M-16, drinking champagne, rolling in my Benz, being like 'yo zombie, were you ever human to begin with?'1|00|0
- I think I could survive at least 2 weeks to a month. I have that friend that’s prepared for anything, eve corona wasn’t a surprise he already had masks way before lol1|00|0
- I don't know what to say about the fact that only teenagers seem obsessed about zombie stuff.1|00|0
- I'd just throw myself out a window tbh I'm not dealing with zombie bs1|00|0
- Change the channel.. click... Oh goodie. The Simpsons!1|00|0
- Anonymous1 moI just need to say that the zombie apocalypse could never happen because we know exactly what a walking corpse that’s trying to eat your face is, if we don’t see something we like we put it down, sure there’s gonna be some idiots that scream watching one walk 1 mph towards them but other than that we’d never let it spread like the movies and tv shows1|00|0
- I'll survive easily: because I only deal with realistic risks.
Movie and gaming nonsense is not included in this.1|00|0 - I’d survive until the food runs out. If I can’t find food after a week, I’ll sacrifice myself.1|00|0
- No. I'd probably die within a couple months after prescription medications ran out.1|00|0
- There was an old Onion article with the headline "Most Americans Unprepared for Zombie Apocalypse"1|00|0
- I need to meet up with one of my best friends in time and I should be okay2|00|0
- I want to say some cool stuff but honestly I'd probably die the first day 😔1|00|0
- I got through 4 years of high school. Fighting zombies would be a piece of cake.1|00|0
- I'n low on shotgun shells so I would be in trouble right now.2|10|0
- I’d just stay home. Living in a mountain community full of rednecks is helpful in situations like that.1|00|0
- With my luck I would probably die within the 3rd episode. :'(0|00|0
- Food, clean water, and life without power would be the problem. That would kill off most of us. I don't think I would survive long, I have no idea how to store food without refrigeration.1|00|0
- Anonymous1 moI have no survival skills. I’d literally have to prostitute myself to people who do in hopes they would keep me alive. Fortunately I suck a mean dick.2|20|0
- I could survive a good while if I was with my friendd Daniel. Absolute strategic king👑1|10|0
- I would pick a random store and turn it into a fortress filled with video games and food and sex dolls0|00|0
- Survive, I might probably be the new legend of humanity0|00|0
- It depends how fast the zombies move. I think I could last a few seasons.1|00|0
- Yeah. I’d throw my friends and family at them while I made a run for it.1|00|0
- No, because I need medication and can't survive very long without it.1|00|0
- naw, i'd probably be one of the first people to die. i know my luck and i'm not delusional.1|00|0
