If they are fast zombies, a fortress would be in order.

Slow zombies, I might try clean up duty to rid the area of the threat.

The zombie apocalypse started in 2000, in Florida. Has nobody noticed the Tea Party gatherings?

Drive around in an old beat-up Winnebago with bad hoses. Or and old Geo Tracker. Or an old pick-up truck.

Christ on a trailer-hitch people, find a late model car!! They're presumably EVERYWHERE!


Oh and guns? There a more guns in this country than people. Finding them shouldn't be that hard!

When I shoot a zombie with a rocket launcher will he drop a box of ammo or a med kit as he splatters all over the street? How many kills does ti take to earn a bonus life?

It is the only thing that works as has been studied by those guys in Canada who certainly should have won an Ig Nobel prize.

An Epidemiological Model of the Zombie Apocalypse

Here's the paper (PDF):
When Zombies Attack!

Enjoy, but arm and load up, or we're doomed. A machete and a sledge hammer would be handy, too.

Thanks for the thread, MrScorpio.

It's rather likely The zombies will have body temperature control issues. Much like reptiles, they should slow down or even freeze.. Even though my body is strong, my legs have gotten real slow. I can deal with the extra clothing which would act as extra armour.

Having good engineering, maintenance and fabrication skills, would definitely join a larger group of survivalists where I can exchange my services for added protection.
