Zombie lovers

Yeah, and sometimes i look at buildings and ask myself, 'would that be a good fortress/ how badly damaged would it get?'
Like the Gherkin - damn, that building would be a baaaaaad idea. But the battleship on the thames might make a good place.

How would you find weapons in England anyway?!?! Like you would *need *to have a shotgun to survive!

How would the gherkin be a bad idea? Block up the stairwells apart from one, one way in one way out. That way you can keep the bastards at bay easier.

As for a boat that's a brilliant idea. as long as you've got the supplies you could easily ride it out. I've always thought that somewhere like a pier at the end of a beach would be good, you could also take the boards out so you are effectively cut off from the hoardes.

Weapons, look no further than the garden shed, chainsaw check, oil, petrol, glass bottles, kitchen knives.

Oh and also you probably don't want to be in a highly populated area ala London, although rooftops would be a good idea if you'd like to be spotted.

I have thus far been unable to determine if diary of the dead was worse than survival of the dead.

weapons of choice:
Crowbar
Machete
pistol crossbow
chemical concoctions from the lab (thermite etc)

DIY superstores would make great strongholds. Check out the security fencing around the out door/gardenning sections next time you're at one. 20 foot and razor wire topped. A+

now can i get away with playing left 4 dead at work?

Is the entire country over-run?

Access to food / water has to be the primary concern, surely.

And guns.

Lots of guns.

Food and water is the main priority really.

If you also had access to electric/ gas you could run a few electric saws all day long, nothing would get even close.

Then when the electric finally runs dry (depending on how long it lasts) you have the gas to run though.

Guns are rubbish in the long run, I'd rather become an expert trapsmen... then the city's not so bad either.

Gravity = plentiful resource.

If you live in london, which most o us do you only really have two options.

Flee asap and hope for the best as you reach the mayhem of the roads. Or find somewhere safe you can lay low, at least until the panic is over and you can escape and get to mountains. Mountains are the only real place you could survive in the long run as all water will putrid.

Weapon of choice...

Axe
Machete
Small Axe
Pistol if possible for close encounters.

Essentials,

Petrol bombs
neck guard
Marmite

You guys are the biggest nerds ever.

And this is coming from a pretty epically big nerd.

ha!

I entirely embrace my nerd status on this subject.

food:
ration (immediate during outbreak)
raid (short term future following initial panic)
plant (when the worst is over)
multivitamin stockpiling essential

my job invovles hideous amounts of glucose/protein solutions for diabetic testing so that whilst not tasty would help short term.
raid distibution warehouses rather than supermarkets.

water is much harder.
purification tabs as i live on a lake? collection buckets as my house has a flat roof?

the gun is overvalued in this scenario.
give me a good 'chete and a whetstone.

forgot another zombie recomendation:
ashley wood zombies vs robots and zombies vs robots vs amazons and maybe soon zombies vs robots vs amazons vs mermen

Word. When there are no more bullets on the earth, the dead will walk all over your pansy gun-reliant ass. Also you'd have to worry about how the zombification was actually contracted/spread - what if it's passed in bodily fluids? Not a good idea to be spraying guts out all over the shop if airborne fluids are a danger. This may also rule out burning bodies pre-emptively (or even post-emptively, if that's a word). I say dig a big hole in the ground, line it with a few feet of concrete and then just lure 'em in and leave them there until they rot. Oh, even better, let's put some thermal casing in to keep the temperature high so the decomposition process is accelerated.

This plan, whilst obviously excellent, will take lots of time to implement, so I would advise hazmat suits and lots of piano wire strung around at neck-height in the interim.

Dude, I'm on it, no worries, you can join my crew.

Mountains... from London, where the hell would you go?

I think in London you would ideally want to be on a canal boat on the river, you could also purify the water over time and would be safe from harms way. Plus if you had a rifle you could have fun picking them off.

Good god, man, there surely aren't enough water purification tablets in the world to fix the Thames.

Zombies would walk into the canal, after 20 minutes or so they'd have a convenient path to your location, you'd have some film worthy lock operating/dashing before you were killed off mind.

I meant the river thames buddy, surely they wouldn't have a path to me then?

I'm not sure, apparently it's full of bodies already?

Probably need a good copy of the Anarchist Handbook (the original version, not the crappy newer versions with rubbish in it) and a few decent SAS books and surival manuals too.

Hortio, get involved for your own good!

Neck guard? This is a zombie apocalypse we're talking about - not fucking Twilight.

Neck guard for rear attack, they go for the jugular before the face.

As for mountains, you could head to wales or scotland, maybe eventually over to france for some euro zombies.

Big old trip that though mate, you'd need to stop for fuel a lot not something you'd want to do.

Oh and this thread is amazing on a whole new level.

the shame.

i have the SAS survival handbook on my iphone.

Though:
Are we talking dumb moaning zombies or the ones from I am Legend. If its the ones from I am Legend, then there are more problems than just slow moving flesh eaters.
Different tactics for both...
I liked the 1st Resident Evil and part of the 2nd but then...

As soon as the internet went, you'd all be fucked. You've become cyber-dependent. Not so much in an information gathering/retention sense, but more in the go-mental-from-boredom-and-become-self-destructive sense.

In fact, you're most likely to get done by a zombie that catches you offguard whilst you're feverishly wanking to the last few remaining internet porn sites.

i am legend was vampires.

good book abomination of a film!

treat everything like a contagion until proven otherwise.

biting is always enough to turn someone

What is the infection vector? Is it just the dead returning to life, is biting enough to turn a live host into a zombie, or is it, 28 Days-style, virulently contagious?

Who is working on a cure?

What is the incubation period?

How are we going to rebuild?
Nooooooooo!!!!!
To many questions!!!!
1st - need to survive!!!
