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

I love shows like The Walking Dead, but a real life zombie event would be no where near as dramatic. My reasons for this belief are:

1. Humans have a habit of burying their dead, so the overwhelming number of zombies are going to be stuck underground.

2. Half of the zombies that do die and have a chance of doing some damage are probably going to find themselves stuck due to another common human habit, doors. If a zombie dies in a building it's going to have to hope that it can figure out how to use a key to get out of it's house.

3. Finally our bodies are not adapted to chasing down prey like a lion so must zombies are going to damage their mouths when they try and attack. During an attack a person will probably pull away and take the zombies rotting mouths off.

The biggest danger is going to be from social unrest, people that think the rules no longer apply and go crazy looting buildings etc. but most of these morons will be caught by the police or run off to hide in the woods and come back after a few days after they realise that they don't have the skills to survive out there and that they miss the convenience of living in a city. When they see that things are pretty much the same they will calm down.

Expect a lot of new H&S advice from the government, such as if you see someone hurt don't try to help them just lock the door and walk away, as well as a zombie sighting hotline to call. Conspiracy theories, memes and an over excited media converge but you will be back into work/school after a month or two.

Depends where I am at the time. Assuming I don't immediately get zombified...

- Pack my things, and anything else that could be useful. Especially all my books
- Get in my neighbour's campervan with my family and dog, (my neighbours would definitely get zombified)
- Go to my friend's house because he also has a campervan and we could round up our other surviving friends
- If he's undead then I would cry, destroy him if I could manage it, he is still my friend
- Steal his campervan and get my remaining friends and their families, plus any survivors I can find.
- Get the f out of London, and pick up any survivors I see because they'll have useful stuff/skills and probably vehicles or fuel
- Bring my friends up north to my grandma's house in Scotland (she has Highland cows, that'd be useful) and steal as many non-perishables and A load of water purifiers (it rains a lot in Scotland) as I could from the shop in town
- Also steal wood/fabric/thread/needles/wool/knitting needles/anything sharp etc
- Go to my Grandma's friend's farm and steal his sheep and food (and matches/lighters if he has them) because food and also, although I know how to knit, I don't know how to turn wool from sheep into wool I can knit with, but the wool from the sheep could be used for fires.
- Also my Grandpa and dad owned/own guns so that'd be useful.
- Wait it out I guess. Try to plant some food, I kinda know how to farm/garden.

And if all else fails, or I run out of food/water, I would go down fighting. Destroy as many zombies as I could, if I got bitten, somehow destroy myself so I don't become a zombie.
I made this up as I went along, but it seems like a solid plan

Gather my friends and family (who are not infected) and all the food I can. Get to Vaughn Mills mall to rob Bass Pro of all their weapons and build a hideout somewhere secluded and try not to die.

Cry and question why this is happening

Once a friend told me : "I'm aware that if there was zombie apocalypse, my only chance would be to join and follow you". Dead serious.
So I guess that I would thrive

I would rather pray and kill myself , atleast its better than becoming a zombie and infecting others....

Find all of my goodest friends and family and find an underground bunker...
Or try to find some weapons and kill them off, but I'd be to scared to do it in real life. Maybe bring some teachers into it, veterans...I'd try to help but I know I wouldn't have the courage to do anything

Let them eat me lol

It will probably happen for a couple of months since flesh rot, so me and my family would just stay at home just like whats happening right now. We will set up traps outside for the zombies and for the animals that we can eat like birds (pigeons and etc.).

Pray, like really pray because i have no idea what to do and 1 more, BOMBA'S BABE!!

Starve to "death".. brains shortage

Stay inside with my family because we never lose hope and we never give up something scary!!

I would get myself a banjo, a weighted baseball bat and garden clippers. Woody Harrelson does a demonstration on how to use these things in Zombieland. THE movie to watch if you want to know how to survive a zombie apocalypse. I already have votes from all my friends and family of being the most likely to survive a zombie apocalypse and the #1 person they would want to be with if one should occur. The above tools and Zombieland as a tutorial ensure this.

Put my youngest kid in a carrier so it's easier to run if needed. Parents without baby carriers seem to struggle much more in movies. Then I would have two main strategies depending on what stage we are regarding zombies. If we are in the "not so many zombies but panic and chaos"-mode I would try to break into a pharmacy, maybe try the police office looking for weapons. Then gather food and load our bikes in the car (plan b transportation) and drive as far we can away from civilization. If we are in the "there are zombies everywhere"-stage I would skip the gathering of stuff and just try to go as far away we can. Maybe find a boat to live on (if these zombies can't swim, they change their abilities depending on what movie you watch so I guess it would be the same in real life)

Move to one of the Scottish Isles. If zombies made it there, and found me, at least I would die in the country I love best. Oh, I would get lots of haggis and throw it at the approaching zombies. That should hold them off for a while.

watch five-minute crafts videos. or put pillows all around me. TRY TO BITE ME NOW ZOMBIES!!!!

I would binge watch the walking dead for survival tips lol

Honestly? Might just go into the woods with a backpack of food and eventually die of exposure cause I'm pretty bad at hiking, would definitely try to leave populated areas cause that's where all the zombie food is

Two words. Dwight. Schrute.
