Zombie Survivalist

Just accept it.

Considering that the closest disease we have relating to a "zombie" virus is rabies, I would just hunker down in my basement and seal off the house. Rabies patients go insane for a few days, but can't eat or drink, so when they reach the phase where they bite and spread the disease, they are close to death, and very weak.

Any real disease that breaks down the nervous system and targets the brain would only let the host survive for a maximum of 4-6 weeks, assuming water could still be consumed. If it required an exchange of bodily fluids to be spread, the infection could be easily avoided, assuming you live in a rural area which I do.

Worst case scenario, it's airborne and can be spread through coughing and sneezing. Most airborne diseases die within minutes of leaving the host's body, but can spread very fast, as in NYC could be completely infected in a day.

In either case, I have supplies to outlast the initial breakout, and the mass die off that would follow. Also, necrotic flesh becomes extremely weak rapidly, so any worries about zombies breaking down doors and getting into a secure hideout are not realistic. My main concern would be other humans looking for supplies. This is what I would save my ammunition for.

Anyways, if you have a 3 month supply of food/water, you can survive just about any mass outbreak of disease by sealing yourself into your house and keeping quiet. Once the majority of the population and infected are dead, survival would actually be fairly easy, and many food species populations would explode in the absence of humans. Fishing and hunting would become extremely viable. Your only worry now is running into groups of people who are not as well off as you. Assuming you made it this far, congrats, now you can live your life carefree doing whatever you please without the strains of regular society.

into the water

I live in a relatively large city for Iowa (30,000 people) but within 15 minutes I can be in the country where there are few houses with sometimes miles in between. I know of some places that I could hold up and wait it out. They're out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere and would be easy to secure. I can also hunt and fish pretty well so I have a food supply and am skilled with multiple weapons including a crossbow which I think is a great idea.

Fuck you zombies.

yeah and this guy has a way better chance of getting through doors

It would be better if he put spike all over the ball...





think of how much zombies you would kill.

Please, this is how a real man handles a zombie apocolypse

Best way to survive a zombie apocalypse is to get a bag with lots of food and survival stuff and get the hell away from cities. GO to the country or better, a mountain. Those who are stupid think that they can survive in an attic or basement forever, which would be useful if the Government can fix the problem, but if it can't you'll starve to death.

Your biggest struggle would not be fighting zombies, but living in the zombie world. Most folk forget that food and water is the basic thing you need to survive. If you don't have those two things, you'll die. Easy as that.

tl;dr If you want to survive a zombie apocalypse, get out of cities or crowded areas and go somewhere you can grow food and have water.

maximum destruction

i love all the people who think that they would survive the zombie apocalypse like it was nothing even though they have no athletic abilities very low charisma and have never fired a gun in their lives

Everything about zombie apocalypse survival depends on the traits and nature of the zombies themselves.
Honestly, I'd spend my time studying the zombies. Capture a couple, see how they react to certain stimuli (sound, light, smell), and keep several written and digital copies of my findings and spread them around among survivors I meet. I probably wouldn't live long, but I might help some other people stay alive. I kind of suck at a lot of things, so I'd die quickly anyways.

Zombies are invulnerable unless hit in the head, so they would probably just throw them against the sphere until it collapses.

Or into a ravine...The Russians already learned this lesson

I got this... I live in a relatively small town (2500 people), there are wheat farms and cattle ranches just outside of town, there's only one road leading to it (pretty easy to guard) we're quite isolated, we have a power plant AND a coal mine near the town and we also have the equipment to run it. Most people who live here own a fucking gun in some form, there's plenty of wildlife (just in case). The only real problem I can see is if the equipment for mining the coal and the power plant breaking down. Other than that we're pretty safe.

It looks like a hamster ball of death.
