does anyone else besides me have a GOOD zombie defense plan?

Question

i have like 12 defensive plans for the zombie infestation and i'm looking for any good ideas that i haven't thought of

Answer 1

For a short term safe house, a two-story house is good. Head up into the attic and destroy the stairs. If you can kill all the zombies from there (by means of head-shot) come down, have a drink, and pat your self on the back. However unless you live in a rural area or have a hell of a lot of ammo, this probably won't happen. Live there as long as you can, and move out when you have to.

For a long term safe house, the house itself doesn't really matter. (although, a two-story house is still favored. more space) What it needs is a strong fence, or some sort of perimeter to keep the zombies out. This allows you to grow your own food in the yard.

Some believe that the zombie will just decay in a week or so. Not so. The virus that creates zombies (Solanum, for anyone who wants to know.) is resistant to most bacteria that eats dead flesh. The actual shelf life for a zombie is about 5 - 8 months. Even longer in colder regions.

As for weapons, you want to kill them as quietly as possibly, with out getting to close. Your best bet is a silencer for your gun or a crossbow. Use melee weapons only when you have to. The closer you are to the zombie, the easier it is for them to bite you.

The best gun is the semi-automatic rifle. Single shot guns are too slow, and machine guns are too fast. (Remember, the only way to kill a zombie is the destroy the brain. Hitting them anywhere other than the head is a waste of ammo.) The semi-auto is just the right speed.

Melee is really your preference. Just use anything you can carry around easily and can decapitate or crush the skull in one blow. Just don’t use things like chainsaws and such. They’re too heavy, too loud, and there fuel is finite.

NEVER USE FIRE!!!! Well, almost never. Fire is dangerous to the user as well as the zombie. It should be used only in the most controlled situations.

Armor is also a no-no. Most people make this mistake. Plate mail is very heavy. Carrying that around on your shoulders is too much strain. And zombies can easily rip the leather joints. Chain mail, although slightly lighter, makes a lot of noise, and a zombies bite is strong enough to rip flesh through the armor. (Although you won’t get infected.) Also, what happens if zombies knock you down? Now you’re stuck there. Kevlar is stupid as zombies don’t bite your torso. There is lighter kevlar for your arms, but it’s not strong enough to stop the bite. The best armor is tight clothes and short hair. The less hanging off of you, the less there is for the zombie to grab.

The best advice I could give you is to get the survival guide. (If you haven't already.) It can best explain everything you need to know about zombies.

Answer 2

yes.. every city should have what we in northern ohio call a zombie squad. Key is get a military team together and get a plan. Dont pick your friends or family unless they are useful. come on lets face it some people are just meant to be zombie food. There is only one way around haveing a zombie food person on your team and it is for bait. Other key is dont pick people for your team with feelings. If there mom gets bite by a zombie they have to be able to shoot them in the face. Also it is best if someone does get bite to kill them on the spot, we all know they will only bite some of importance later.

Answer 3

Well, all movies point to the fact that the zombies usually win. So, first I would run. I would try to find the nearest construction site. I would look for one of those cranes with the wrecking ball on it, and try to go bowling for zombies. If this didn't work, I would go and loot the nearest grocery store, pharmacy, and family store like target etc. Then I would go to the airport and steal a plane. I would fly to Easter island because nobody lives there and zombies cant swim. On the off chance that a zombie did catch me I would use kung fu to try and free myself. If the zombie bites me, I already know I'm gonna die right? SO I will bite him back. I will bite his ear off! Whats your plan?

Answer 4

And I thought I was the only one. People laugh, but when the ravening hordes of undead are dogging their every step, a constant reminder of their own mortality and humanity's bleak future, it will be a different story. Anyway, if (or when) the zombie apocalypse happens, I'm robbing the gun store down the block then heading to the mall (which happens to have a sporting goods store with a firearms department).

tee hee

Oh, and have you read the book?

Answer 6

Yes, actually, my husband and I do. We also are training for a zombie out break. :) We go to the shooting range and practice headshots. We have only certain people who we would allow to go with us also. They have to be able to shoot a gun, and take someone's head off (we only practice on targets of course). We have complete plans.

Do you have the proper weapons? Tire Irons, hatchets, axes, hand guns, shot guns? Do you have supplies to help you survive? Maps are very important as well as a knowledge of the natural areas around you. We know of specific secluded areas that we could make it too.

We've even got them for national disasters as well. Of course it helps that we are both quite 'woodsy' people and could survive on our own for a long time. LOL

We are nerds aren't we. LOL That ok, our best friends have the same sort of plans and such.

Some great reading as well, Max Brooks's Ultimate Zombie Survival Guide.

Answer 7

I have a defense plan against zombies, a 12 gauge pump shotgun.

"Shop smart, shop S mart"

And I do own a chainsaw as well. So all set here.

Answer 8

wow hope your not serious............that`s just sad........ well anyways my plan is to yell F*ck it all and run in front of a speeding car...lol if you want a more creative idea i would grab you and use you as a shield while running through a crowd of zombies then get to the mall where i would run up to the roof and get into my awaiting helicopter with it loaded a anti zombie potion bomb i had prepared just in case of zombies, that would turn everyone back to normal.... then i would have the pilot fly it up and drop the bomb and presto! i save the world .................good enough for me lol

1. A zombies' shelf life: two weeks max. They are the walking dead - corpses. Forget the movies - as decay and decomposition set in these things move slower and slower, eventually falling apart into putrefying piles of jellifying flesh and exposed bones. Solanum may be resistant to bacteria, but it does not stop the natural process of cellular decay. Trust me on this - I'm a nurse.
2. Never go underground: these things dig - it's how they got out of their graves to begin with. Go upstairs and remove the stairs. Zombies don't climb too well. Or better yet, hole up in an attic with a drop ladder. Pull the string up with you and brace the ladder across the ceiling joists with a 2x4. No zombie can reach you.
3. Guns are back-up weapons for emergencies: they run out of ammo and jam at the worst times. A good sword or battleaxe is better, but do not be tempted to swing straight down on the skull - your weapon could become lodged in the broken bone. Instead, decapitate each one by slicing through the neck and spinal column - the spaces between each vertebra are filled with spongy cartilage and the middle of the neck is the throat shaft, a lot easier to cut through and return to guard from. Or you could use a warhammer to cave in their skulls and destroy their brain that way.
4. Armor: find it or make it. Remember that zombies infect their victims with bite or claw attacks, and they usually latch onto extremities or go for the throat. Concentrate on armoring arms/legs first, and wear a steel gorget around the neck. For the torso any armor will do, from a quilted leather jerkin up to a flak vest or a steel breastplate. Just always remember to upgade your armor with new materials whenever possible. Armor, if made right, is nowhere near as heavy as some people think it is. I own and wear a custom suit of plate mail, and I can do tumble rolls in mine and get back to my feet very easily. I also make chainmail, and it is not noisy - I've worn mail for over twenty years as a member of the SCA. Also, the leather straps that hold some plates of armor together are not accessible from the outside. Otherwise armor would fall apart in combat as the straps were cut. Leather - good, strong leather, cannot be "ripped" from average strength alone, and heavy armor weight - 12 to 16 oz. is practically indestructible to normal wear and tear.
5. Stock/hoard/scavenge: esp. for nonperishable foodstuffs like canned goods, pop-tarts, sealed crackers, cereals, bottled water, and dehydrated goods that cook quickly. Also look for first aid kits, antiseptics, painkillers, and antibiotics.
6. Never put your trust in deep water: zombies don't generally need to breathe. As we saw in PotC:CotBP, they just walk into the water and across the ocean floor until they get where they are going. Encamping on an island would be suicide - the zombies would surround the island and walk right to it, coming at you from every direction.
7. Stay mobile and change directions often: the worst thing to do is to get pigeonholed into a spot where the zombies can see where you are going and congregate ahead of you in ambush. You are faster than them so use that advantage, and when you must sleep or eat find a safe shelter with multiple exits - my favorite is an attic because they cannot get you but you can exit by knocking a hole in the roof anytime. Just don't stay in one place long enough to allow every zombie in the county to home in on your location.
8. Fire is your friend: as zombies dry out they become extremely flammable. Need to wipe out 100 -200 zombies that are homing in on you? Prepare a derelict house by pouring gasoline all through it and board up all exits but one. Let them follow you in, and then retreat to the attic when they are filling the house. Exit through a previously cut hole in the roof, run around front, shut the door, and brace it. Step back and throw match. All zombies are toast - literally.

Answer 10

Make the population stupid so the Zombies would not have a source of brain food. The government is already implementing this plan by trying to teach intelligent design and only abstinence in schools.
