Hey Pandas, What Would You Do If A Zombie Apocalypse Had Started? (Closed)

take up wepon making and sell them for a profit

Go to the Winchester, have a cold pint and wait for all this to blow over...

I'd hole up in the closest Walmart. Get my remaining friends and family to kill any zombies in the Walmart, then lock and barricade all the doors.

Walmart has basically everything you'd need to survive the zombie apocalypse. I'd build a fortress, probably close to where they keep the security camera monitors, and against a wall so zombies can't sneak up on me. Maybe I can even build several safe points throughout the store, because I will inevitably need to use the bathroom and restock supplies.

Then I'd gather supplies. I'd get several of those big coolers and fill them with food. I'd use the perishables first and shelf-stable foods when those run out. I'd also stockpile guns, lighters, matches, gardening equipment, cleaning chemicals, and anything else that could possibly be used as a weapon. I'd probably also make a bed out of pillows and blankets on top of a shelf in my fortress, and probably gather extra clothes too if I had time.

I'd set up a watch system to make sure someone is always watching the security cameras. Everyone is armed and prepared, and we try our best to stick together. No one goes alone.

Accept the inevitable. Weigh up the nonexistent alternatives and kill myself!

Go to IKEA. Think about it, Its warm, It has furniture and the one where I live serves food. Its either that or Fred meyers

I learned in life that the old saying is true.."you can plan a pretty picnic, but you can't predict the weather." So in case of a zombie apocalypse, I'd have to think of the best course of action based on the state of thing where I live first, what I have in my possession at the time, who is with me, and who I can trust, being cautious is a must with any decision I make. I think being able to think on your feet and being resourceful will be important things to survival. You never know when a well thought out plan will fail, or if some unforseen incident will ruin that plan.. Also, be mentally prepared for death and horror, cause things will happen that can shatter your sanity. That's what I think on this subject anyway.

Find all the worst people I know and shoot them on sight because "I'm pretty sure they were just about to turn into a zombie. Yep, definitely."
After that, I just go home, build a nice big moat and live happily ever after.

Go north, up to Greenland. The freezing cold will freeze the zombies like popciles before they even get close. And if the infection is bloodborne, masquitos wont be able to transmit it to me since there are no masquitos Greenland!

Come with me if you want to live - I'm a former farmer. We head to a rural area that can grow crops year round, near a flowing water source. Pick up guns, ammo, other weapons on the way -- especially from the dead (they won't be needing it, and there's now a finite supply). Suburban foraging when the first wave is over and things have quieted down (stores and homes) - clean out the pharmacies first, and good to have canned/shelf stable foods for backup for bad crop years, and grab all the farm/garden equipment, plus storage and preservation goods available.
Take good care of the farm tools, as they never need reloading and are the new multi-purpose tools. Those in the 'project group' that don't do the work will promptly be used for bait to keep the region of the farm grounds safe. Oh, and immediately start fermenting everything...we're all definitely going to need some drinks.

Given the location of my rural homevillage, the message of the dead rising would reach us before the corpses.
Now here's my emergency plan:

1) Cut down the woods surrounding the village for palisades, using the outer house-line as part of a wall. That way we have a big, secured perimeter with free fire lines all around (there are big fields between the forest and the settlement already). Possible to due to having 2 construction companies with their vehicles here and the garage of a lumberjack company in the village.

2) Make sure the wind turbine, 2 solar fields and the generator at the river keep running and are secured against damage. Same thing for the local water treatment plant.

3) Repurpose the 19th century barracks we use as elementary school as central governmental building, storage and fortress. Take a look at the old potassium mine that lies beneath parts of the village and value how useful that is. Also making use of the local industry (mostly metal workshops). Getting food from the 3 supermarkets + the local emergency stash would provide enough to hold out a few months

4) Gather all kinds of weapons and persons able to use them (abundance of hunters here) and produce some DIY stuff of all kinds (chemistry class pays off...).

5) If possible, establishing communications with the army and/or government and offering to act as outpost for the region for payments in the form of supplies. We germans have a very de-centralized administration system, so somebody surely will pick up.

6) Sit it out or decimate enough of them to expand

Just close all the doors and wait until all the zombies have finished rotting.

Well, high school is inevitable. You can't escape it. But if we're talking about an actual one, I'd run to Costco, get supplies from Costco, get my friend, find a lighter, and commit lots of arson, because of no laws!

I doubt I'd survive, but I think my best bet would be finding a boat and people who know how to properly use one. Most of the day would be spent fishing (when we catch the first fish, we use its meat as bait), and for water, I know a beach with a creek running through it. The water would need to be boiled, but there's usually a lot of driftwood to burn (better done at day where we could see zombies and the fire wouldn't be as obvious). Of course we'd need some people to guard as we get as much water as we can onboard, as we don't know how many beaches have creeks. At night, we sleep on the boat in the water. My plan would be to head north, away from the city and towards a more hospitable climate, where aside from the heat, it would be easier to live. Eventually we just stay offshore a national park where we could live long enough. I'd get so bored, though

I have knives in the house. There are pots, pans, lots of food. My stepdad went on a "the world's gonna end" freak out so we have survival stuff.

WE WILL LEAD THE REBELLION

I'd probably just die instantly, my observation skills are terrible. Most likely, the military would enact some plan if they were alive, I'd get yanked in as a recruit eventually, so yeah.

most likely get a sudden and uncontrollable hunger for brains, less likelly, build a giant dildo shaped rocket and watch the planet burn from not really space

Cry.

Honestly, everyone would probably just fail and thats it.

But if we play along, I would raid local shops for all the canned goods they have, store as much water I can until the water supply stops when the facilities shut down when powerstations shut down.

My apartment is already very hard to get into forcibly so small alterations to make it even safer.

Then survive until I mentally break down and probably end it all.

First of all I'm thrilled at the loser attitudes displayed here! I always think the books/ movie's don't address how many people would just give up and either sit there and die or kill themselves. And most of the rest of you have no clue how to get clean water so If you don't mind please hurry up and die without eating to much canned goods. P.s. you are NOT going to hunt trap or grow food for the first time in your life while fighting off anything let alone zombies!

I would try and get my family (including my dog) and go into hiding
