The Walking Dead Fan Club

the first thing i would do is make moonshine.....

a great drink for celebration, and could be used to burn away large groups of the dead collecting against the perimeter walls.....  you know the flame throwers from mad max the road warrior....

also.....bicycle powered generators to keep battery banks charged for warmth, and for hydroponic gardening......and a second ring of chain link fencing less than 5 feet from main parimeter wall......that way if the dead to exploit a weak point they wont be able to mass enough to get leverage to push through the fence........

i would also begin a tunneling project for a last means of escape...this would end in a warehouse or large garage that is pre fortified, with two running vehicles waiting, and extra supplies stocked just under the warehouse at the end of the tunnel, along with extra vehicle batteries....

 HOW WOULD YOU DO IT? 

thats a pretty intense setup that would take like pre planning, id just go hold up in like a guitar center thats near a stop and shop  or somthin and just record the best cd ever made and die from starvation

Ive always fancied a cruise ship in a small port,in either water or dry dock.

Not only are they large enough to support a large number of people but good for defence too.

Alot of docks have security fences around them anyhow which would be first line of defence,and even if a herd did get through that you could always hoist up the gang plank and have other ways of getting off.The height of the vessel would also be an advantage for scanning the horizon for threats of either the undead or human variety.

Raid a garden centre for some grow bags to help grow your own food,bring animals aboard.Theres loads of possibilities!Being close to towns would provide a valuable base for scouting and scavenging missions.

Let me make this clear,Im not talking about sailing away on it.Just using it as a home and defensive structure.

Oh one more thing,clear out any undead onboard first!

i just realized if my idea happened id prob record an album as a zombie and how epic would that be

I was thinking underground bunker. Then I remember Day of the Dead.

I was thinking underground bunker. Then I remember Day of the Dead.

that could work though, there were alot of idiots in day of the dead, if it was us in that bunker it would work perfect

Here's the only issue you have to remember about zombies, they aren't the real threat unless in a horde. Stay alert and you should stay alive. Any compound that's largely visible and seems secure is going to be a temptation to other survivors. Most likely a group of Raiders would breech your defenses before zombies would especially when they see it's self-sustaining.

Another issue is that you will need a large group of survivors to band with you to make a large compound work. Large groups can lead to intergroup fighting, power struggles, a lot of questioning of orders, and lack of follow though. Most people don't know how to boil water these days let alone grow foods, so finding a lot of people who have skills to maintain such a compound would be sheer luck.

I don't trust people to get things done, so I'd have to be on my own or with a close loved one. We'd take refuge in a cave in Northern California and live off the land. Lie low and hone my hunting skills. I'm not a bad hunter and I'm pretty good with a bow and arrow. I’d need to learn how to set traps. I'd be like the Native American's and use every piece of my kill. I'm also a natural green thumb, so that helps.

I'd sneak into small local towns at night and raid General stores, clothing stores and Gas Stations. I'd steal camping supplies, winter clothing, tools, and tarps. I'd limit the noise, but have an emergency vehicle available should we have to make a break for it. Which means that I’d periodically have to maintain the vehicle and ensure the gas is still good.

The only real issue would be predators such as wild animals, but they can be kept at bay by using zombie blood as a barrier around the cave. Nice thing about California is that the weather never truly gets that bad except for two months out of the year.

allright here is what I would do and I think I have posted this somewhere else before but I live on the gulf coast......there are plenty of beach houses down here on stilts way up from the ground....so i get my  friend with his fishing boat and we drive it over to Fort Morgan beach with our respected families. Anchor it just offshore and use a smaller boat to get to shore....get a few ladders and head on up to the beach house....once everone is inside we set up a pulley system to be able to get goods in the house.

Then you destroy both set of stairs and only use the ladders to get in and out...it has high position with a huge visibility surrounding it and it is close to the water....then you post a couple people on the boat each night for protection...and they use the boat for fishing to catch food and shit

zombie hero

wouldn't it suck if it was like a brian keene novel.

you go to check a trap, and the animal died and came back in it......zombie squirrels?, zombie deer baiting the hunters with the least rotted fresh zombie deer.

I like the cruise ship idea!  and the stilted houses was a great idea in max brooks zombie survival guide.

I just realized, that these ideas all involve what we would do after society had already fallen......

now i am thiking ..."how would i escape with my family during the first days?"

I would take the missouri river.....down the block is a small fishing boat,  i would take it from my neighbors, lol....(it's not stealing if they are already zombie chow)

i would hop on the missouri river, take it through kansas city.....to avoid the roads, since the roads would be more dangerous, looters, zombies, desperate people...clogged roads with burning, or empty vehicles...military road blocks......

i would float for 24 hours to st. louis where the missouri flows into the mississppi....i would take the mississppi to tennessee, and walk a day to the family farm, near ft. campbell.....way too many guns out there in the country. i would have maybe 48 hours of floating on the river.

another idea for safety after the emergency.....

i have also thought about metal shipping containers...conex containers or whatever they them...........people now make hurrican and tornado proof homes out of them....using them to seal off a port would be a great idea......stacking them and welding through them to creat a steel compound would be great too....as long as there were still propane in the forklift tanks to shuffle them around....   

imagine a wall of these containers stacked around a community even.......

I thing shipping containers would be great...for most of the situations we consider....barriers, housing , storage, defensive against small arms fire...........reenforced with mounds of dirt behind them making it hard to move them with a vehicle...or from the force of a horde pushing against them....

i think traveling by water ways would be a lot more safer

Except that zombies don't float, they sink.  You run the risk everytime you fish or drop anchor of bringing a Walker back up.  Also, you run the risks of Pirates.  If they are a problem now, think when there's no Navy.

I would probably die within a week. CARDIO = fail *lol*

Anyone who want's to rough it with me in the wilderness is welcome to come.

*follows ZombieHero* is there interwebs in the wilderness? 'cause I can't live without mah computer

I'm sure some bombing building weirdo has the interweb in his shack out there somewhere.  They have to write their manifesto's on something right?

you write it on zombieflesh

I wish they had a real time strategy game that was about the zombie apocalypse where you ahd to build defenses and shit

true chiz, i would love to play that

I've been saying I want a game like that for a while.

im surprised there isn't one....it seems like such a no brainer idea...no pun intended
