Discussion about the hypothetical scenario of a zombie apocalypse.

Unless stated otherwise, by zombie we're refering to The Walking Dead -kind of undead creature.

Serious discussion only.

I guess I'll go first:

  • I stayed home for the first few weeks and waited out the worst chaos
  • I was prepaired enough that I could stay at home
  • I own a 4x4 truck and had several spare canisters of fuel which enabled me to bug out eventually with all my gear and no need to stop looking for fuel
  • I stayed away from malls, supermarkets, gas stations and other hotspots
  • Every time I encountered a zombie I ran away instead of fighting it

There are the most obvious ones, like holding out in a bunker or deep in the woods. And then there's the issue of extended survival, where (depending on the nature of the apocalypse) social problems also start arising. Has enough people survived during first months? Then many will start forming settlements around their homes. That means defenses, trade routes (if zombies are "tame" enough by then), commerce, and we're playing age of empires again. If we're talking of group survival, then gaining the group's support is key. If it's a lone survivor scenario, then I suppose the raw materials come first.
