For the sake of the plot, choose whichever zombie type fits your plans the best.

    My friends have had plans for this situation since highschool. We meet at our buddies house in the woods. We commandeer one of his neighbors tanks (his neighbor has one of the largest private collection of tanks). We take said tank (which can run off pretty much any liquid that burns) and drive it to SF where we then forcibly take control of a ferry and drive ourselves and the tank with enough supplies to sustain ourselves for at least a month on Alcatraz.

    We figure by the end of the month most zombies will have decayed beyond mobility and should any other humans attempt to join us that we don’t want on the island with us… Well we have a tank.

      How are you going to get the Tanks away from the neighbor? They can fight you off… They have tanks.

        Oh he liked all of us. We used to help him set up his 4th of July demonstration for the neighborhood every year where he would fire a tank shell into the mountainside along with some fire works . We talked to him about our plan on more than one occasion.

          Oooh okay, neighbor is in on the plan. That is a good plan!

          My husband always says he will “get guns” and I’m always like, how are you gonna get the guns away from the people that already have them? You’re not going to be the first to get to a gun store and you’re not going to beat up the guys who have guns.

        Tanks are heavy for sure but they aren’t THAT much heavier than a handful of cars. Plus if it’s just for protection against zombies and other humans on foot we wouldn’t need a heavily armored one.

    Realistic zombies: do nothing, it will pass quickly, or I will catch it too. If I don’t catch it I shelter on place for a few days

    Movie zombies of any kind: kill myself, I’m not delusional, that world sucks and my chances are tiny

        My head cannon for “realistic” zombies. is Mel Brooks’, the writer of 'zombie survival guide and ‘world war z’ (no relation to the movie or the game) esque zombies.

          Max Brooks, Mel is his father. I’d expect a Mel Brooks-written Zombie guide would be a bit…different…

    I’m not telling you my plan zombie, but rest assured, once you’re defeated, we’ll all get taken out by some zombie-denier anyways.

      Thanks! I love talking about this kind of stuff, even if it is really silly and never going to happen, it’s fun to pretend.

        The way I see it, if you’re prepared for a zombie apocalypse, you’re pretty much prepared for anything. It’s really just another way of saying “worst-case scenario.” The people who enjoy thinking about this kind of stuff are basically preppers or survivalists who just find it more engaging to plan for a zombie outbreak than something more “mundane” like an EMP, pandemic, or natural disaster.

    Once we start to hear about the zombie outbreak I will go door to door on my street and form a militia. Arm everyone with pike and spear to fight and practice fighting in formation. Picks and shovels to make earth barriers and spikes to slow and funnel the zombies.

    Probably start eating brains. Too close to a major population center to think I’d get out and away without being bitten at least once or twice.

      Just don’t blow out your brains. Leave some food for the rest of us.
