Zombie Survival Plan
Protecting Myself From the Undead

I live in a very geographically difficult-to-get-out-of place due to the huge amounts of forests surrounding where I live. Due to being in these Forest, I would need different materials (all which I have) than the regular city-goer. Firstly, I would bring tampons and condoms. Tampons, because they are easy to set on fire, and burn for a long time. The condoms, on the other hand, can be used as a canteen. Other things I would need include an axe, food, a gun, and help. Presumably, if I'm still alive, one of my brothers, or father are alive. It'd be EXTREMELY helpful if they were, as they're better at shooting than me.

Anyway, onto the gear

Gun - Since none of my family members were in any type of military, and they aren't very gun orientated, I don't have any gun to use. This would definitely decrease my chances of survival, however, to compensate for the gun I would use a...

Sword - My brother is VERY sword-orientated, owning many real Japanese steel swords, which cut skin ridiculously easily, and are extremely light and easy to move.

Next! What I'm going to need to mentally survive.

Reading Material - I'm going to NEED a book, or something to hold my sanity together. Without this, I would go completely insane and most likely just give myself up to the zombies. A notebook or something along the lines of literature is fine as well.

Pots, pans, utensils, plates - I'm going to need these to eat anything I manage to catch, or just find lying around (i.e berries).

Water - Water is not necessary to bring since my local area has numerous amounts of streams, and other water sources which I can drink from. However, water bottles or other types of water carrying sources (like condoms) would help, if I needed to travel long distances, or somewhere that I don't know the geography of.

Map - Obviously, a map is going to help immensely due to knowing where I'm going. I know my local area pretty well, but anything outside of this is completely void from my mind.

Compass - I need to know where I'm going, right? A map isn't everything; I have to make sure I'm going in the right direction!

Axe - I would bring an axe to cut down trees for fire, walls, or anything else that requires wood.

Shoes - Obviously, I'm going to be on the move frequently without massive firepower, and a huge fortress. Good shoes, even two or three pairs are a must, especially in this area. Boots are also helpful too, since there are a lot of hills here.

Flashlight - In case I travel during the night (which I'm going to avoid at all costs, due to the increased speed of zombies), or entering a building when the power is out.

Food - Food is necessary for all creatures to live. Depending upon who's still with me (my family) after the zombie invasion, I'd ration off the food accordingly. At first, I'd only eat what I'd catch; but if I begin to starve, I'm GOING to eat the chocolate granola bar!

Needle and Thread - I'm going to need to keep my clothes in tact, so I don't freeze to death or get caught on thorns, as that would slow down my time of progress.

Watch - It'd help to know what time it is, because in thick forests where I can't even see the sun, I'm probably going to want to know what time I should head back to camp, or wherever I am.

And most importantly,

Knowledge!

Knowledge is power, and prior knowledge is even better. To survive against the zombie invasion, I'm going to need to know everything I possibly can about the surrounding environment, how the zombies act, and everything else necessary for survival. With this, comes confidence, and with confidence comes strength and courage.

I always think who the world would be if it is full of zombies =P I think that i would be so great =P

like how you thought of the book to keep your sanity, not many people know how much of a task on your brain it is to stay sane. It's hard for me and I'm living a normal life O_oU

First, sorry I haven't been active lately I have been really busy with school.

@Muse2223, nice plan overall. But you might want to think lighter. Cut down on pots and pans so you can move faster. In addition flint is always a great idea incase you run out of matches.

well, a better allternative to matches is flint like time said. But, you might not allways hae it with you. If you come across it, take some with you! Allso, lighters...they are light, small, and are better then matches!

Well, I am going to write a senario now.


Your base was hit. It's the middle of October and it's about 50 degree farnehite outside. When the zombies hit you had to think fast. You only managed to grab your gun and break out. You come across a camping store. You are only about 5 miles away from your base. Do you go in? If so what do you grab? Also keep in mind that there are zombies around and you have to go fast.

*CRACK* "What in the high hell was that?" looking around, I noticed a crack starting to appear in my back wall. i grab my gun, and burst out of the door, to the camping store i nthe neiborhood. Picking up a rock, I fling it towrd the door, and run inside. I grab some boots, that come half way up my shins. Then, I grab a pair of jeans (mine are torn to shorts now) A water bottel, a pocket knife, a lighter, A zip up coat as,a sleeping bag, and A hiking back to hold it all in. Then, running back to the door, I grab my gun, and dive behind the counter, that gives me a clear shot at the door. I break a near the nearby computer, to get the zombies attention. They are now comeing towards me, which is what I wanted. I can now get a better shot. ( I don't know how many there are, so...i will just say around ten or so.) I fire, hitting one, two, three....*click* *click* "O come on, I left my ammo at the base!" Now out of ammo, I run to the back, and find some hatchets. I throw a few, knocking 2 more down. 5 left. they were farly spread apart, dogding out stretched arms, I drove the blade into there skullls one by one. I then go to collect the supplies, and decide to stay in this store. It has alot of things I need, and it can only be accsesed throug hthe front. I go back to the base to grab more ammo, then back to my new shelter.

I wrote that really fast but whatever.

Not bad, but I would also grab a windable flashlight.

*tap tap tap* Alerted, I grabbed my gun and continued to look into the darkness I know oh so well. *crack* "AW HOLY HELL!!!" knowing what was tapping and killing my door, I knew the stench and sound all too well. It's night too, !@#$ING JEBUS!!!! Running out the door with a water-bottle, a backpack and a gun I make my escape, and figure that I should set the house on fire to cover my scent, but it was too late. The base was decent, nothing too bad, so I rushed over there with my eyes on the guard. Thank goodness for adrenaline, or else I would have probably been dead right now. Opening the door I immediatly point my gun into the base, sniff, repeat. Finding only a couple of dead heads I eliminate them with ease, and no harm done. I grab a tent and a large canteen to make my way out of this hell-hole. Leaving with some flares, a lighter, and the tent/canteen, I survive.

Not too great, but time, try to make a more challenging scenario next time plz, lol.

~KTHXBAI

Meh, I wrote it around midnight XD

Was tired, and couldn't think of much; and had too much music on, and homework in front of me lol. I honestly don't know where I'd go if there was an invasion; I'd have to depend on my dad or brothers for that.

Wow! thoad, you din't enev say nothing about the camping store! CHEATER! SHUN THE CHEATER! SHUNNNNNNN.......SHUNNNNNNN!

i want to join because i love these things... i would ....most likely kill myself with my air rifle because i don't want my guts ripped out of just get into a car and ZOOM down the road with my family (which would be fun) then kill myself (if we are surrounded) ^^

yeah, it would be tough, ESPECIALLY if you were seriously by yourself. Some people have. . . ."needs". So yeah, it would totally suck!

Wow! thoad, you din't enev say nothing about the camping store! CHEATER! SHUN THE CHEATER! SHUNNNNNNN.......SHUNNNNNNN!

Yeah, its easier if you have a group. Though I could survive if I was by myself.
