    My plan would be “go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over”

        I guess the better question is: why? To what end? Live out some doomer prepper fantasy? The world would be right fucked and you’d be out in the middle of nowhere by yourself which you could do right now without the zombies.

          Good questions. I don’t understand why some people are absolutely determined to suffer as much as possible and “live” through the inevitable hellscape that would follow the collapse of society. Just face reality and end it quickly.

          I mean, you could try, but eventually someone will find you, probably arrest you, and tear down your home

            There is so much empty land in the middle of nowhere. If the goal is to never interact with society again, it is unbelievably easy to achieve.

              Someone owns that land, because we’ve decided every inch of the planet is already owned

              Human habitation is visible from space. There are parts of every government dedicated to just enforcing just this… Go out and try it, people are arrested for tents on this land, let alone homesteads

          That’s a really good question. I know “zombie apocalypse” isn’t well defined, but it usually indicates a complete and total destruction of society. Even once the zombies are gone, there’s no civilization to return to. It’s not like a hurricane, where people start to rebuild.

          Considering the post-post-apocalypse, I’m not sure it’s a world I would want to be part of.

          I mean I get that but with solar panels and some MacBooks you could have a good amount of time playing games with friends and fishing. No bills, no job job. Heck I don’t even like fish, or any seafood, but it wouldn’t have to be bad bad. Like it’s not my fantasy per se, I would miss civilization, but it sure beats death and in some ways beats capitalism.

    Stock up on canned food, ammo, batteries, fuel etc. Go to a cabin in the wilderness far away from everything. Check that I’ve got the essentials, realize I forgot something. Go back to town to pick it up. Go back to cabin, go back to town to print out some guides on how to preserve food, go back to cabin.

    Hole up in Costco for two weeks or so.

    The rotting corpses who only hunger for flesh are going to be eaten by animals and bugs. Because they don’t have regular ways to maintain water balance for muscles they will atrophy and become immobile. They will pretty much be a non threat while I have plenty of food and shelter to last me.

      Many of the more modern and realistic takes have it caused by an organism that’s gone endemic. Meaning anything or anybody that dies changes, regardless of if they were bitten. This provides a constant source of new zombies. In addition to the fact that other survivors are usually a bigger threat than the zombies themselves.

      I remember Neil DeGrasse Tyson explaining away zombies. Really took the immersion out of any zombie movies. Basically what you said, but more of it.

    1. Liquidate all my assets
    2. Spend that money on food, bottled water, camping toilets, medicine, etc.
    3. Barricade myself indoors
    4. Wait it all out

    Get gun, fishing rod and tackle, salt water filters, and those mre buckets bible thumpers are always selling on tv. Go to the marina and steal a keelboat. Dab on all the land lubbers still on shore.

    Assuming they’re the type of zombie with no viable circulatory system to help stay warm, I’d relocate up to the Arctic for a while.

    I live near a number of gun stores, because America, and I have a realistic understanding of my capabilities. Now I’m not saying that I’m going to use the gun on myself, but the truth is I only really need to buy one bullet.
