Top 7 Zombie Survival tips

1. jeff - October 26th, 2007 at 2:32 pm

I always thought learning to drive stick would be helpful in case the only working car you could find was a manual. That’s pretty much the only reason I learned.

2. Anthony - October 26th, 2007 at 2:35 pm

Nice list. Anyone interested in further increasing you chances for survival in case of a zombie outbreak should read “The Zombie Survival Guide” It’s hilariously brilliant.

3. Ravyn - October 26th, 2007 at 2:36 pm

Iteresting list. Just one question… #7 you said honk your car horn,if there are zombies they will head in your direction…

Now if there were a zombie attack and someone honked a horn, that would mean someone with an intellegence would be near aka not a zombie. I would head towards the car as it would be a means to save myself.

Oki it wasn’t much of a question but more of a state of confussion…

4. Richard - October 26th, 2007 at 2:36 pm

Why does no one suggest keeping a dog? My dogs are better than any burglar alarm, and there’s no reason to think they wouldn’t warn you about zombies!

5. dangorironhide - October 26th, 2007 at 2:37 pm

Anthony: It seems this list has been taken straight from there

Apologies if it hasn’t Yaurt!

6. Gr8flDdFn - October 26th, 2007 at 2:40 pm

lol 8. run faster then the other ppl in ur party.

7. jfrater - October 26th, 2007 at 2:43 pm

Oops - forgot to add the contributor - I didn’t write the list so I don’t know the source aside from the contributor

8. kunleski - October 26th, 2007 at 3:40 pm

crazy list! zombies exist only in the movies

9. Juggz - October 26th, 2007 at 3:45 pm

Neo said it best: “Guns, lots of guns!”

10. DiscHuker - October 26th, 2007 at 3:50 pm

my wife and i had a discussion after watching 28 weeks later, where would we go in town to try and outlast the invasion?

we determined that the best place in town that has supplies, ammo and controllable entrances is wal-mart supercenter. they even have beds, toilets, more supplies than we could use in probably a year. we could get up to the roof to shoot down, like in dawn of the dead. we could even hook up an x-box to keep us entertained.

11. Yarr - October 26th, 2007 at 4:36 pm

#4 could be either good or worse. The original Night of the Living Dead happened in a farmhouse and everyone there got croaked.
Also, #7, Search for survivors: No good. In all the movies it’s the in-fighting between the survivors that ends up causing all the problems and getting everyone eaten. Fuck’em. Hold on to your woman or find a hot chick that can shoot and run, and piss on everyone else- If they are so craptastically awesome, why are they just waiting around for your happy ass to come save them?

12. Fe - October 26th, 2007 at 5:03 pm

yeah, zombies…just thinking, why aren’t there ever any lists about how to be a SUCCESSFUL zombie? Is there a zombie equivalent to the Evil Overlord list? Because if there isn’t, there should be.

13. David - October 26th, 2007 at 5:31 pm

Sooo much wrong here, or at least flawed. Mainly that you should rely on guns as weapons. Your first weapon is your own body; being fast and fit will help with survival more then anything else. Second weapon should be a strong melee weapon, think like in Shaun of the Dead; although I prefer a crowbar because it has other functions. Third weapon should be a silenced simple rifle, like a .22 or preferably an AK-47. Forth weapon should be a silenced pistol. Also, using fire in order to survive is a bad idea 95% of the time. Fire has no allegiance to you just because you created it; in other words you burn too. Also, gathering supplies is something that you should do while “getting your shit together.” It’s a lot easier to navigate a city when it’s not full of zombies. Also body armor is heavy and often not flexible.

14. Diogenes - October 26th, 2007 at 6:18 pm

Ok. so, all I have read is the titles, and I havent read the comments and I am aware of the book by the similar title that has been submitted here above , but , my answer right now…is … “Become a Zombie.” Yes thats right, I dont mean acting like one, but just go on ahead and let one of them flesh munching/ brain eating- Somnambulistic Infestations- take a chunk out of yah and go on your merry way. It cant be all that different than what the majority has already accepted from the moment in time when their dreams were broken, left out on a plate-in front of the home (disconnected from the original couple)-a welcome mat for the horror maw of humanity’s complacent weeknesses……naw, I meant to say-nice one. get us in the mood..I saw a Hillary Clinton rubber mask among the rest of the halloween “trophies” hanging high in the Party store. I wondered. yeh.

15. yaurt - October 26th, 2007 at 7:07 pm

Ravyn: if there are zombies that means that are NO survivors!
Richard: Dogs are a great defence, but we don’t know if they would be afected by the virus…you don’t want your 3 dobermans to get zombie on you, don’t you ?
dangorironhide: i’ve read the book, but i do not aprove it!
kunleski: i’ll see you mailing me when it’s goin’ down
DiscHuker: glass walls ?!
Yarr: #4 …if you are prepared, read this thing, when the thing happens, you won’t do those mistakes. ANd hot zombie killin’ chicks are not so easy to find…around here anyway…

16. Kelsi - October 26th, 2007 at 8:27 pm

I’m so printing this out and taping it to my wall. You know, just in case. You can never be too prepared…
Good list.

17. JJ - October 26th, 2007 at 9:48 pm

great list good advice #8 should be WAIT it out we are talking dead people walking around bloodthirsty dead people but dead people none the less ,,once you have your safe place just wait (1 to 2 months ) the zombies will rot away,, P.S. a horde of rampaging zombies is my worst fear i dont care how impossibly unlikely it is

18. Ravyn - October 26th, 2007 at 10:02 pm

yaurt: Well if there is no survivors then why would anyone need a list of how to protect yourself from zombies. And why would you drive a car into the mid of zombies and honk a horn to find survivors just to draw all the attention to yourself. Better yet…why would you even need to drive a car. If there are no survivors that means you wouldn’t have survive either. Driving a car just seems pointless.

19. yaurt - October 27th, 2007 at 1:54 am

:)) ok Ravyn if the zombies atack you can take a bike!
You honk because in your car you can outrun them. And btw, get as many big cars as you can, SUV’s , trucks, no small, tiny, pretty convertible cars.

20. yaurt - October 27th, 2007 at 2:32 am

and jfrater, why is this list in the humour section ?!

21. Joe Skepsis - October 27th, 2007 at 6:54 am

I agree with all but 7, once I form a group I can trust, I’d be extremely hesitant about allowing strangers into it, they could be insane, annoying, or Scientologists (see insane).

22. Kieran - October 27th, 2007 at 8:24 am

Dont find survivors, it leads to arguments, anyony seen 28 days later?

Stay on your own, or with real close family + friends.

I would head straight to sainsburys, buy months supply of food on a credit card, fill my house full of food, then hide in the attic with my family, only going down to get food.

23. Ravyn - October 27th, 2007 at 8:41 am

yaurt: You missed my point. If there are no survivors that would mean that you didn’t survive either. If you didn’t survive there would be no point in honking your horn as no on survived. And being as you didn’t survive either, I don’t think you would have the intellegence to purposly honk a horn anyway. If no one survives and you are a zombie, yet again I ask, what is the point of a Zombie Survival list.

24. yaurt - October 27th, 2007 at 9:04 am

Ravyn: Who said there will be no survivors ? Cause’ there will be, those who take this list seriously!!!

25. Juggz - October 27th, 2007 at 9:15 am

The only survivors will be the few people who thought ahead and built a spaceship in there barn. Therefor flying it to the hidden NASA colony on mars.

26. yaurt - October 27th, 2007 at 9:18 am

Ravyn: oh…i said that… ok, i over reacted

27. Loose Cannon - October 27th, 2007 at 9:21 am

I’m waiting for the part where someone blames the Zombie epidemic on Bush/Cheny/Rove/Hannity/Coulter.

28. Ziggy - October 27th, 2007 at 10:05 am

Ciob wtf are you doing here? Still savin` the world? MZ1 best fortress in the worlds. Even has interphone .

29. Ravyn - October 27th, 2007 at 10:25 am

Yaurt: Sorry. I just call it how I see it hmm

30. Ravyn - October 27th, 2007 at 10:29 am

Man things are running a bit slow

31. yaurt - October 27th, 2007 at 10:54 am

Ziggy, around here i am called “Yaurt, the master of zombie survival” And an apartament building is the worst ideea ever!

32. David - October 27th, 2007 at 12:07 pm

Yaurt, if you were truly the “master” of zombie survival guide you would know that a bicycle is the best form of transportation during a zombie attack. Cars are incredibly loud, can only go on roads, and will eventually run out of gas. Not to mention everyone else will be getting in their cars to try and escape so the roads will be clogged. A bike is relatively silent, never runs out of gas, and can go where a car couldn’t even fit. Many of your suggestions are very good, but you need to read “The Zombie Survival Guide” and “World War Z” both by Max Brooks.

33. Yarr - October 27th, 2007 at 1:09 pm

Yaurt:
Sorry there’s no hot chicks in your town. That sucks a lot. But in case of zombies, I’m still going to load up my babe and my doberman and a shitload of ammo and food and head for the hills while giving the rest of the world the finger. If other survivors somehow make it to my hideout, they can come in and hang out and drink a tall glass of shut the fuck up about “What are we going to do next?” There is no next. We survive. We chill. We shoot zombies and play scrabble. If you don’t like it, go find your own hideout Captain Awesome and get the hell out of mine! And no, you can’t have any Twix, either; I only have a couple left and they’re mine.

34. yaurt - October 27th, 2007 at 1:20 pm

David:i really would like to see you rammin’ throu’ 100 rampaging, blood thirsty zombies with your bike!
And about those, i already read “The Zombie Survival Guide” and i so don’t aprove it!
If you have enough gas(see #5) you don’t have to worry about the noise. You can even stop and shoot or throw molotov cocktails at them untill you waste them and then loot or search for survivors.

35. yaurt - October 27th, 2007 at 1:23 pm

Yarr!!! That’s the shit i’m talkin’ about!

36. David - October 27th, 2007 at 6:16 pm

Yaurt: I’d really like to see how your car is going to survive 1000 zombies beating on it because you alerted them with the engine running. It doesn’t matter how much gas you have, eventually you’ll run out and then you’re SOL. Also, the more gas you bring, the less room you have for food, ammo, and other supplies. Since Zombies are slow, biking through a small number, 50 max, would be feasible. A car is all well and good, but it should be for long distances with all of your supplies, not for exploring unknown areas or what have you. How exactly does the amount of gas you have relate to noise? A car makes noise if it’s running, and in a situation where there would be few survivors in a big city a running engine is essentially a signal flare to all zombies that can hear it. Finally, this isn’t a movie, molotov cocktails could just as easily set you and your precious car on fire. And what happens when you’re surrounded by zombies, all trying to get you, and you throw out a molotov only to have that burning zombie come crashing into your metal shell.

I would like to know what you disagree with in the Zombie Survival Guide? I thought it was quite logical and clear cut. I suggest you read World War Z also.

Edit: Yarr, thats actually a pretty good plan. A babe and a dog are very good sources of morale, if for different reasons. The one thing everyone seems to forget about zombie invasions is morale, because that’s something you can’t buy, loot, or train.

37. Jeremy - October 27th, 2007 at 6:21 pm

Okay, as much as I love zombies and this list makes me happy, I don’t think it’s very appropriate to show an actual murder in process as the picture for number seven does.

38. mishele - October 27th, 2007 at 6:50 pm

cats are also good at alerting you of the presence of zombies, and they require way less food than dogs and can forage well. just stock up on dry food and they’ll fatten up on rats, etc. They’re also better company and WAY less annoying than men. the only thing you need men for is protection, unless you can find enough other women to gang up with.

39. Diogenes - October 27th, 2007 at 7:43 pm

Humans! Stop all the make believe fighting allready! and just become one of us, like I was sayin.

Jeremy: that cant be for real. why would that be? It looks real though. lets wait for Yaurt to reply.

mishelse: Are you from the “Island of Women and Cats”?

40. yaurt - October 28th, 2007 at 12:40 am

Jeremy & Diogenes: I found it on google, searched “zombie”
David: Dude! you got like 10 tons of gas at home, you don’t move around with all your food and gas and eveything! And when in a car, if you had read tip #1 you wouldn’t stay and cry in the front seat when 1000 zombies are smashing the car (and btw, you with your magical bike could handle them ?), in the first place you are not supposed to be in the middle of 1000 zombies! read tip #4

41. David - October 28th, 2007 at 11:57 am

Yaurt: Wait I’m confused, where is this 10 tons of gas I have and why wouldn’t I want to take all my supplies with me during an invasion? Simply put, a car is perfect, even preferred, for that initial escape from town or post-invasion supply gathering expedition. I can’t argue that a bike could carry all of my supplies, much less those of a whole crew. A bike is better for quick in-and-out missions you might need to do. The biggest advantage a bike has is it’s ease of use. Everyone knows how to ride a bike and they’re a whole lot easier to fix than a car.
While I could go on, I won’t. I can agree that a car is a necessity, but it shouldn’t be a crutch. As a final thought, what if Murphy’s Law begin to take effect? That is, when something, anything, goes wrong. The best action is to just be prepared for the worst.

I would still like to know what exactly you disagree with in The Zombie Survival Guide.

42. yaurt - October 28th, 2007 at 12:50 pm

David: the 10 tons of gas you already have are at home, with all your suplies (see #5 and #6)And while looking for survivors the suplies are at home, and when the survivors are found you take them to your base, or, if they are also prepared the survivors will have two bases, and so on.
Now really…if zombies atack, and you have to choose between a bike and a Hummer…you’ll choose the bike ?

43. Kenndo - October 28th, 2007 at 6:49 pm

yaurt+David: Just stick a bike or two on the bike rack on the top of your hummer! Problem solved, you can ride them when you need to be quiet, and you can drive when you need to go fast. Cant believe no one said that already.

One of my cheif concerns about a zombie attack is the seemingly inavoidable affliction of one of your party members. If your best friend in the world comes back to the stronghold one night and tearfully shows you a bitten arm, how are you going to deal with it? Its just always been one of my fears, haha.

44. el duderino - October 28th, 2007 at 7:21 pm

Teach your spouse to shoot and teach your kids o load magazines, lots and lots of magazines. Happiness may be a warm gun, but bliss is an endless supply of fresh magazines.

45. el duderino - October 28th, 2007 at 7:21 pm

46. Cole - October 28th, 2007 at 8:19 pm

Okay so has anyone seen Land of the Dead? worst zombie movie ever! A zombie playing a trombone and trying to be a human? And then the zombies figure out how to use guns and shit like that! The whole point of mass zombies is they use brute force and teeth to win their battles not guns, they re dead for christ sake. Dawn of the Dead was one of the best movies ever but the sequel was the shittest.

oh yea how the hell is a cat supposed to warn you of a zombie, meow? it’ll just run away and it can’t protect you worth shit!

47. Parahnus - October 28th, 2007 at 9:09 pm

Land Of The Dead Was A Crap Fest

48. Thomas - October 28th, 2007 at 9:25 pm

Whoever said keeping a dog would help didn’t think it through. Sure it would be nice at first, and they could alert you to some zombies, but if they dog ever gets bitten then it becomes a zombie dog. And everyone knows a zombie dog is ten times worse than a regular zombie.

49. Ghost - October 28th, 2007 at 11:36 pm

Zombies are dead, therefore they can not generate their own body heat. This means that they freeze solid when the air temperature drops below freezing (32 degrees F). Pack up all your cold weather camping gear and a ton of food and head north. When winter comes to the rest of the hemisphere, you can just drive south again to re-supply. Take-out any frozen zombies you come across with a crowbar.

Repeat as long as necessary until the zombies have all rotted away.

Since summer in the northern hemisphere is winter in the southern hemisphere, no matter when a zombie outbreak took place, half of the world would be in winter. A zombie outbreak couldn’t spread very fast if zombies froze whenever they were outside. The cold places would probably be able to resist the initial onslaught pretty well, and would have lots of time to prepare for the warmer weather when the zombies would be thawed.

50. jfrater - October 29th, 2007 at 12:59 am

I am starting to feel like I will definitely survive a zombie attack now - I will just use all of the tips in the article and comments and I can’t go wrong!

51. Loose_Cannon - October 29th, 2007 at 5:25 am

jfraterI am starting to feel like I will definitely survive a zombie attack now

Or a Democrat Presidential Convention, at the very least. They are very similar.

52. evan - October 29th, 2007 at 5:40 am

LOL! dead on cannon.

Slow and dumb traditional zombies, we may get our butt kicked for a while, but once large organized operations start we’d be ok.

fast and strong 28 days style zombies, we’re f*#$ed.lol

53. Hobolad - October 29th, 2007 at 6:01 am

http://www.cracked.com/article.....appen.html

Sounds like this list came just in time :0

54. DiscHuker - October 29th, 2007 at 6:24 am

the zombies in 28 days later really freaked me out. i had never considered one that was sprinting. if those jokers are hanging around, get somewhere fast and bar the doors. don’t try to make any attempts to be a hero unless the situation absolutely demands it.

now, if the shaun of the dead zombies show up…find small groups of them and practice killing them. find out what works best and get good at it.

so long as we are talking about zombies that don’t have the ability to rationalize and problem-solve, i still like going to the local supercenter for a base camp. do you guys have wal-mart across the atlantic?

i can’t believe that anyone would suggest riding a bike in the midst of zombies. you only have to be wrong one time for it all to be over.

jamie - on a different list you said that you didn’t like shaun of the dead. what for?

55. evan - October 29th, 2007 at 6:49 am

think about it though, if you hold up in walmart, youre going to be in an urban area. that means upwards of several tens of thousands of zombies, good luck. if there is a large scale outbreak, you must sooner or later leave the urban areas.

Bike is a good means of transport for several reasons. No fuel necessary, agile, light, you can go places cars cant, if necessary you can carry it. true there is no protection from attack on it, but as long as you pay attention, you should never get close enough to zombies to make it a problem.

56. Morgaine - October 29th, 2007 at 7:17 am

DiscHuker: No, I think there are no Wal-Marts here (at least I have never seen one :P) but of course there are thousands of big shopping centres where you can build yourself a decent fortress, most of them settled close to a train station and featuring repair shops and gas stations.
Anyway, if you still hesitate, you can take this test to check your chances of surviving
http://www.justsayhi.com/bb/zombie

(By the way, I have a 60%)

57. Hobolad - October 29th, 2007 at 7:25 am

35%? Decent I guess.

58. DiscHuker - October 29th, 2007 at 8:30 am

evan - mobility, agility are far down on the list of things i need in my transportation when in an attack from the un-dead. protection is my only concern. like i said earlier, if you make one mistake whilst riding a bike, you are done. if i turn the wrong way in my hummer, i run over a zombie and have to back up.

assuming that zombies eventually die from malnutrition, like in the movies, i would choose a great fort with months of supplies over running off into the woods or a far off cabin. after fortifying the doors, walmart would give me more food than i could ever eat, a huge cash of weapons and ammo and plenty of distractions to help with morale.

BTW, i have a 50% chance of surviving.

59. evan - October 29th, 2007 at 8:42 am

ture but youll become a target for other survivors. in that kind of a situation, people will become more dangerous to you then zombies.

60. David - October 29th, 2007 at 10:49 am

Kenndo: Good idea, that’s just what I was saying. A car is number one, but after the initial escape a bike should be all you need.

61. David - October 29th, 2007 at 10:51 am

Ghost: That’s just a terrible idea. Nature is more deadly that any zombie.

62. DiscHuker - October 29th, 2007 at 2:26 pm

evan - i’ve been thinking about this bike thing. i agree that having something silent and agile would be handy but the vulnerability of a bike scares me. how’s this for compromise…a horse.

a little higher, faster, just as agile and able to go in tight spaces but also tougher and you can run people over if absolutely necessary.

63. yaurt - October 29th, 2007 at 4:07 pm

I just can’t believe that we are still on the bike thing! How much ammo and other stuff can you cary with your bike ? And who cares about the noise when you’re riddin’ at 100 mph in your suv ?! In this caise raw force is way better then stealth.
And about dogs…if wildlife is affected we’re fucked! …Think about birds. You will only be protected from them in a basement or smth…
And back to the bike thing. Why would you want to go in tight places when the zombies atack ?

64. yaurt - October 29th, 2007 at 4:15 pm

Btw… 81% told ya i’m the master of zombie survival!

65. Loose_Cannon - October 30th, 2007 at 5:51 am

yaurt I just can’t believe that we are still on the bike thing!

Yeah, I have to go with my man Yaurt on this; A bike is just about the worst idea I’ve read for surviving a zombie invasion.

If you leave anywhere without at least a half tank of gas, then you deserve to be eaten. Sure it makes alot of noise, but geez, it beats being cloths-lined by a Reggie White-like zombie in the middle of your escape. Not to mention, if the tires go flat, the chains fall off, or the frame gets bent, you’re toast. If the car breaks down, you can at least just roll up the windows, lock the doors, and wait for help. Or wait til the zombies lose interest.

Besides, you can carry a lot more supplies in a car then you can on a bike. You never get tired or lose your breath driving a car.

66. evan - October 30th, 2007 at 6:11 am

and where are you going to drive? ok just remember this is a widespread invasion right? so youre not alone here. every friggin person in your state is going to have the same idea. he lets go get in the car and drive away from the major city. the roads will be clogged to a stand still. accidents, road rage, people running out of gas. total grid lock. mmmmmmm tasty humans in a can says the zombie. you cant out wait a zombie ( or hundreds), you need food and water, they dont. you going to go to the bathroom for several days in this same car? Face it, youd get stuck in a massive traffic jam and either be forced to abadon the car or die waiting there.
I agree, Horse would be good too. Remember you dont need to go very fast, just faster then a shuffling zombie. Why go into tight spaces? well, um you might need to! an option a bike gives you that the car doesnt. Oh damn, the bridge is out, guess you cars screwed, but hey ill just pick my bike up and hike to the other side. I think what david said is the best. Pack the SUV full of all the supplies you can and strap the bike to the top. create a bug out bag with all the absolutely needed supplies. get as far as you can in the SUV. when you hit the massive traffic jam or run out of gas. grab the bag and the bike and keep going. laugh as you here yaurt’s engine sputtering out and his hystrically crying when he’s surrounded by several hundred previously fellow motorists now flesh eating zombies

67. evan - October 30th, 2007 at 6:30 am

mmmm weapons, when i get home i have to remember to post my zombie slaying rifle of choice….real too, not any of the airsoft crap

68. evan - October 30th, 2007 at 6:38 am

http://home.comcast.net/~erouls/wallcollection.jpg thats the link if i can remember it correctly that shows 3 different set ups, minus the 100 round beta c mag muahahaha bring on the zombies!

69. jfrater - October 30th, 2007 at 6:48 am

For all you zombie fanatics, there is a top 10 things NOT to do when attacked by a zombie on the hotlinks today.

70. evan - October 30th, 2007 at 6:56 am

moral choice. ok youre raised as a strict catholic. you completely believe suicide is wrong and youll go to hell for it. jump to the zombie invasion. somehow youve managed to get yourself completely surrounded by zombies with no hope of escape. youre popping off zombies with your trusy 1911 .45 pistol but are quickly running out of ammo. down to your last bullet, you can see the horde getting close. what do you do? do you end your own life or do you use that last bullet to take one more zombie out and await your fate…

71. jfrater - October 30th, 2007 at 7:06 am

evan: as someone who was raised as a strict Catholic - the answer is easy - fire your last bullet where it will do the most damage and start praying!

72. evan - October 30th, 2007 at 7:16 am

lol, true enough i guess

73. Yarr - October 30th, 2007 at 7:52 am

Ok, I got the solution for you Pro-Bike and Anti-Bike folks: Segway!
They’re quiet, they don’t use gas. They go where cars can’t…
This is ridiculous!
Guys, the world is overrun by zombies! Try to find and steal a tank! The army will be too busy being zombie kibble to worry about one tank more or less!
When it all comes down, you’re all gonna die if you can’t get more creative. And all this bickering is what’s going to cause you to let the zombies get you! Just like I said! None of you will be allowed in my hideout! Unless you’re a hot chick that can shoot; and even then, you still can’t have any Twix!

74. evan - October 30th, 2007 at 8:05 am

Be it Zombies or Aliens, Ill take the Ripley stance here…

“I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”

75. DiscHuker - October 30th, 2007 at 8:47 am

not too many tanks hanging around my town. assuming this is a zombie outbreak and not just a couple of random slow-walkers, time is of the essence. i’m gonna get the closest vehicle that will get me to walmart the fastest. a tank probably isn’t an option.

DiscHuker:
If your town was being overrun by zombies, someone might bring a tank.

I’m just saying you need to be creative, otherwise you’re gonna be zombie poop!

77. DiscHuker - October 30th, 2007 at 8:08 pm

sooner or later a tank might show up but are you gonna wait at the bus stop on the corner til that happens?

78. Yarr - October 30th, 2007 at 8:45 pm

Not me.
I’ll be in my dope hideout figuring out new ways to kill zombies.

But some of the kids arguing about bikes might do just that. Which sucks, because they’ll just turn into more zombies and make my job even harder.

79. Mathilda - October 30th, 2007 at 9:19 pm

I personally am going to drive myself to the nearest airfield, while the zombies are all still busy feasting on the slow and stupid people. Then I’m stealing myself a plane and flying up in the mountains of West Virginia. It’ll take the zombies quite some time to get there, if ever. After all, they’ll be trying to walk up to the top of a mountain, and every person they meet along the way will have a gun and know how to use it. Besides which the houses are few and far between, and I don’t think zombies have the mental capacity to pack picnic lunches for the trek. Once I get there, there are Mennonites living there, so I’ll be all set because they can teach me how to live just fine without electricity and modern appliances. Fortunately I don’t need to bring a hot chick because I am a hot chick, and an excellent shot (and BTW, I got 89% on the Zombie Survival Test.) Best of luck, boys!

“Fortunately I don’t need to bring a hot chick because I am a hot chick,” -Mathilda

we need proof, post a pic!

81. Mathilda - October 31st, 2007 at 9:22 am

evan - What? No way! Perhaps you are already a zombie, and just want to see a picture of me because you are on the lookout for a fine gourmet meal (of me!)

It’s this type of caution that is going to keep me alive when the zombies come!

82. evan - October 31st, 2007 at 9:48 am

mmmmmmmmmmmm brains!

83. yaurt - November 1st, 2007 at 4:15 am

Mathilda, would you marry me ? All my life i’ve been lookin for a hot girl that can shoot and is prepared for zombie battle

84. jfrater - November 1st, 2007 at 4:52 am

Our first potential List Universe marriage?

85. yaurt - November 1st, 2007 at 2:54 pm

I’m still waiting for Mathilda’s comment :)Mathilda, think about it, you and me, holdin’ each other, with our sawed off shotguns isn’t this true love ?

86. yaurt - November 1st, 2007 at 3:48 pm

After all that “bike” thing goin’ on…i must say this.
My opinnion is as you know, go to the country…few population, NO TIGHT SPACES!!! and btw…if i must poop and pee in the car for several days JUST to live, i think i’ll do it.
But my strategy is this: go to the first big store of gas station, loot everything, the go back to the homebase (the one i said earlier should look like a fortress). Then go to the next big store or gas station. And btw, just to check, during the zombie atack power’s out. How will you get gas from gass stations?!

87. Chuck - November 6th, 2007 at 3:32 pm

The first thing i would do in the event of a zombie outbreak is gather up a close knit group of just family or friends. No more than 6 ppl and no more than 2 vehicles. 6 ppl is enough to hold off a decent size attack and 2 vehicles in case one breaks down. I live in southern Louisianna so we would head down to the bouat launch and drive out to my fishing camp. its right on the water has beds, plenty of boat fuel, and we would live off the wildflife. Crawfish,duck,shrimp etc… And don’t say “well the zombies will be waiting in the boat LOL!!1″ no idiots zombies don’t lie in wait they bum rush anything with a pulse. And i don’t wanna hear shit about zombies walking underwater becasue they can’t. how in the hell would they navigate? Besides if they could walk underwater if the current didn’t sweep them away then they damn sure can’t walk through droopy ass swamp mud. And btw that whole bike idea is straight retarded for so many reasons to name. one being what if your tired? what if you been riding “stealthy” all day and your’re tired as shit then you get attacked and have to pedal some more lmao. Bike=instant zombie food end of story.

88. Jesus McJew - November 10th, 2007 at 8:28 pm

First of all
Evan: About the bike whole thing. You said a bike doesnt need fuel. The fuel is yourself, like chuck said. the Catholic thing: blow your brains out and realize the atheists were right.

David: Ghost is right and a bike will get you killed very quickly because there’s no protection.

Ghost: I agree with your plan. Thats why Alberta, Canada is perfect. It can get extremely cold or very hot (-45 to 40 C) Theres lots of urban and rural areas. but the best spot of all is my home town. quite small no more than 10,000 but has a walmart superstore and canadian tire (giant hardware store) why we have them no clue. (I guess for the zombie invasion.

89. Aliceson - November 14th, 2007 at 5:55 pm

read this list to my friend and he made a very good point. one of the first things to do is to find out if you are dealing with fast zombies or slow zombies. they are two completely different monkeys…

90. yaurt - November 15th, 2007 at 3:53 am

Aliceson: i don’t believe in slow zombies, when i made the list i was thinking about fast zombies (28 days later style)

91. Chuck - November 18th, 2007 at 4:33 am

why can’t there be both kinds of zombie. who said that they ALL have to run. I mean im pretty sureif an outbreak did occur it wouldnt just produce one type of zombie the whole way around some might not be as aggresive as others.

92. PeteFloyd - December 6th, 2007 at 12:42 pm

Best zombie defense weapon = Light Saber
Cuts through anything. Immediately cauterizes the wound so there is no blood splash.

93. J the Zombie Hunter - December 7th, 2007 at 1:39 pm

You see, I have no fears regarding a zombie attack for several reasons. I’ve thought it out many a time.

1.) I was trained by my uncles, who were USMC Force Recon, on the finer points of surviving in a martial law situation.

2.) I worked for UPS for a short time and I still have the package car master key which unlocks any and every UPS truck in my city. That’s what I’m taking for transportation.

3.) I worked at Wal-Mart also. The doors are easy to secure by building a barricade at each front entrance out of buggies, chain, and padlocks (which you can find in the Hardware dept.) and I know where the Sporting Goods Dept. gun case key is hidden in the back. VOILA! Weapons, ammo, canned food, bottled water, and an Electronics Dept. full of TVs and Xboxes! All we gotta do is fire up the emergency generators if we lose power and wait it out!

Great list, however. Anyone near Nashville, TN is welcome to find me at the Charlotte Pk. Wal-Mart in the event that a zombie attack occurs.

Yours
-J

94. jim - December 10th, 2007 at 11:55 am

remember, if you take over a walmart or similar building to garrison, you will need at least a squad sized element to secure it. guard watch at night, etc. even though you may have chained all the entrances and such, that doesnt mean that the situation cant change.
remember that the idea of romeros zombie flicks is that zombies evolve too. i am not saying that the zombies are going to become sentient, but even a rat will find its way out of the maze eventually.
although i didnt read all of the posts (due to the length of this whole web page) i dont think an ak would be the best weapon. although the ammo is very very cheap and it is a very rugged weapon, they aren’t that accurate. so if you need to take head shots, it will be pretty difficult. i have a 7.62 fn/fal for long range stuff. i also like its semi auto ability for great follow on shots. then i have an 5.56 m4 for everything within 300m. from experience, an ACOG or eotech reflex sight work very well at those ranges and target acquisition (especially head shots)is simple. now once within 50m, i have a 12 guage with 1oz slugs. bird shot wont do anything. you are even taking a chance with buckshot. i also have a .45cal m1911. with a 230 grain slug going downrange, it is sure to stop just about anything. it has been tricked out a little to reduce reoil and keep it on target.
canned food can get you along, but that will eventually run out. you should invest in a smoker for meats. this will help preserve them for later. foraging here in minnesota can reap enough food for a decent diet (all things considered). another good idea would be a water filter system. with all the death running around, the ground water supply is sure to get contaminated. a good stock of batteries wouldnt hurt either. just make sure they are rechargeable and get a solar powered generator to recharge them.
body armor is very heavy. even the best (dragon skin) is still 20+ lbs for just a regular vest. i did some thinking and thought about the motocross stuff. it is tough but very light. you just need enough to keep a bite from getting through. the main point of this is that you have to find out how much speed and maneuverability you want to sacrifice for protection.
one of those motorolla scanners would be nice because you can monitor almost any channel. some will even pick up tv/radio broadcasts.
mainly though, you need a plan. more importantly an evacuation plan (for city folk). and like one of my old first sergeants used to say: “always have a plan B”.
hope this helps. i dont want to cause any consternation, but i am just trying to throw out some pointers.

95. jim - December 10th, 2007 at 12:10 pm

crap, i almost forgot about medical. you will need a good medical kit with lots of anti bacterial stuff in it and antibiotics if possible. dont want gang green or anything in zombieland.
on a close combat weapon, a crowbar is okay. but i would prefer a weapon you dont throw all your weight into and possible get yourself off balance. a samurai sword/katana come to mind. it is well balanced and you can get them relatively cheaply off of e bay (about 50 bucks). besides it has a pretty good coolness factor.

close to mine, but i have a fixed 4 power scope with a bullet drop compensator on it. i also have a 6 rail free float handguard with vertical grip at 6 o clock and reflex sight at the 2 o clock position. i tried the beta mags and they turned out to be more trouble than they are worth. too bulky for where i put the vertical grip at. i also have flip up front and rear sights with national match rear and a competition front sight post. the upper has a “machine gun” barrel (1″ thick). i have a panther compensator just in case i have to cut barbed wire or something.

99. jim - December 10th, 2007 at 11:28 pm

oh and a titanium firing pin and bolt

100. evan - December 11th, 2007 at 6:14 am

nice jim!

That M4 style one has 14″ m4 barrel with fixed flash hider (for overall 16″ barrel to meet federal laws), an Aimpoint Comp 2,KAC RAS-2 rail system and forward grip, fixed frony site, KAC flip up rear. havent ran into any problems with the beta c mag, but yea ive heard they can be finicky.

my normal 20″ A2 style one has national match RRA lower and a ACOG Ta31 on it, my varmiter has 18″ long barrel, nation match RRA lower, 1 inch SS barrel and loopy M3 scope on it and bipod, and My 16″ carbine has a ARMS SIR on it with a eotech 552(i think is the model). Building my forth one now.

101. mike - December 12th, 2007 at 12:14 pm

I’m in the middle of making a zombie defense site, and I’m sure as hell putting up some of these tips. Some just don’t seem rational, like find random people you don’t know that have been bitten, or using a bike in a dense urban area… Still, nice list. I’ll leave the name of the site when its near completion for you zombie hunters out there

102. Alexandra - December 16th, 2007 at 6:33 pm

Thank you. I now feel safe, so when it happens I’ll be prepared. Luckily for me I live in a farm and have firearms a plenty, and wide open spaces. Although, that having been said, my firearm IS a rifle…. so if i can’t be bothered shooting them, I can always hit them over the head with it…

The only zombie movie I have ever seen is ‘Shaun of the Dead’ and thats just hilarious. What I need to do is watch more so I know what to expect. No such thing as being to careful!

i think u find yourself a nice place in he country with at least two floors and an attic, As Max says destroy the staircase after getiing everything u need and in an emerency u got the attic to fall back on. Only problrm is destroying the staircase which i think is much harder than it looks.

107. jim - December 29th, 2007 at 9:02 am

People!!! You want to AVOID Walmart during a zombie attack. Zombies migrate toward Walmarts. They use them as sort of a headquarters or basecamp.

110. Yarr - January 1st, 2008 at 12:56 am

112. jim - January 4th, 2008 at 9:34 am

damnit! when are the zombies going to get here then?

113. Christina - January 4th, 2008 at 9:10 pm

I read the comments for a while, but it never seemed to come up.

Wouldn’t everyone else be looting the major stores, too? At the very beginning of the attack, anyway. I think you’d do better to have supplies prepared ahead of time then risking your neck at the local WalMart.

114. Yarr - January 4th, 2008 at 11:50 pm

Just jumped over here from another list…

Ever notice how there’s never any ‘gun control’ discussions in zombie movies?
…the survivors always have guns, and everyone else comes to them for help or protection.

I’ll let you chew on that for a while.

Have fun!

115. Drogo - January 5th, 2008 at 1:52 am

I’ve realized something pertaining to my post at 109… Those aren’t zombies at my local Walmart, they’re just the average townfolk from my area!..

As far as #1 goes, don’t trust the police (authorities) because they, themselves could be zombies. They will try to fool you into thinking they’re safe.

116. Drogo - January 5th, 2008 at 2:06 am

Don’t get cheap, or store brand, zombie repellant. They don’t have enough garlic oil(or something) in them. Spend a little extra for the “ZombeX” or “Zom-B-Gone” brand zombie repellants.

117. the phantom - January 6th, 2008 at 2:09 am

Yarr - this is a joke thread. if you want to rant find an annoying gun control thread.

Drogo - what is the deal with you?

118. evan - January 7th, 2008 at 8:28 am

joke? this is serious, right? lol

119. tom - January 8th, 2008 at 3:27 am

Yarr- I went to a talk Max Brooks gave sometime ago at the Barbican and he actually said that it was probably a good thing that the UK had better gun control laws because it meant if the zombie thing did happen you would not just have people going crazy and shooting everyone whether they were a zombie or not. Good point really…

120. jim - January 8th, 2008 at 11:04 am

no, not good really. the U.K. has the most strict gun control laws, but the highest homocide rate in the world (as of 2003).
as far as zombies go, do you want to shoot them from a distance, or wait until they get up close say with a shovel or something.

I DO NOT WANT TO TURN THIS INTO A GUN CONTROL DEBATE! but like i mentioned before. i was NOT very impressed with max’s book. there are many flaws/weaknesses in his “guide”.

121. evan - January 8th, 2008 at 11:34 am

his guide was a semi serious look at it, but it still a joke book, i mean its about a zombie uprising lol

122. tom - January 8th, 2008 at 5:36 pm

jim; rather sceptical about all this…. is the latest data u can get 2003? Know its silly but….well…i think ure talking shit.

123. jim - January 8th, 2008 at 6:17 pm

nope. my family was in england in ‘03 and it was all over their news. just proves the best way for only the criminals to have guns is to ban them.

I would drive to coast, take a boat and go to an island. Island should be relatively small to be able to clean it from zombies, and have fresh water source. Do not forget plant seeds and fishing equipment. The reason to go to island is that I never heard of zombies swimming or being able to use any vehicle (although in Zombie Wedding film there was a zombie walking on sea floor).

“i am legend” for how to survive zombie attacks. if you have it in your blood killing or running away from them is not the problem; problem is to keep yourself up. notice how will smith tries to keep his mind up by talking to models like they are real.

141. jim - February 1st, 2008 at 5:35 pm

i was just thinking the other day. if you had a good defensive perimeter set up with a good wall or taller structure, you could use that chainsaw on a stick thing. the same one they use for pruning trees. they sell them at any home depot or lowes. just make sure you get the gas one. i know gas would be in short supply but i would hate to have to run the human powered generator to use an electrical one.

how many times have you thought, “if i just close my eyes and imagine this never happened, the zombies will vanish.” it is the real #1 zombie survival tip.

150. Drogo - February 4th, 2008 at 4:23 am

avi,, That reminds me of something. Years ago I had the same ridiculous reoccuring dream happen to me several times. I was getting chased by zombie-like space aliens.

Then one day there was a dream expert on a radio show. He said that you can tell yourself at bedtime, “If I have that dream, I’m going to realize it’s just a dream, while I’m dreaming.” It worked! The next time I had that stupid dream I also dreamt saying, “Wait a second, this is only a dream!” The zombie-like space alien stopped chasing me, stood looking at me for a second, then I woke up. (Haha) I never had the dream again.

I think I had that dream because my friends and I had recently stopped watching rented horror movies. I think it was withdrawal symptoms. (haha)

151. andrew - February 4th, 2008 at 6:12 pm

got a 70%survival rate and dont go to walmart ……. there will be undead in there….. go to the local gun enthusiast shooting range you’ll be safe……. they make ammo …. best guns ever ….(they have 5 freakin m134s) and theres a quikemart next door (ps. only take canned goods and never use anyone elses cutlary)….. im a skilled sniper and im gould with pistols and assault rifles

Delio: “I am Legend” is about Vamps, read the book! Although you are right, keeping your sanity once you are the only one left is probably the most important part!

I only got a 45% survival rate, mostly cuz I don’t have guns & only have limited experience shooting them.

154. doz - February 23rd, 2008 at 2:48 pm

reads really sensible to me. thanks for the tips.

155. zombie slayer - February 26th, 2008 at 9:12 pm

Most of these tips you don’t even need.First of all before any of this happens, build a brick/stone wall all around your house.Make sure the gate is very thick metal. Walking zombies wont have anything on you if you do that. Install solar panels on your roof top so you can have electricity in your home. Get food that is nonperishable and stash it upstairs. Install window bars on all of your first story window, that way if any zombies get through they wont be able to get in that way. When the zombies start coming if they manage to get past your brick/stone wall which is very unlikely for slow zombies, stack furniture at your door and board up all of the windows(which are already protected)for even more protection, then with what ever you have on hand (preferably a sledgehammer) destroy your staircase !DO NOT USE FIRE!
Following all of these steps you can ride out the apocalypse in style, playing xbox 360.

156. Mickilyne - March 4th, 2008 at 6:23 am

Wow…….if Zombies were attacking, that would mean that the dead were rising, because Zombies are, of course, the dead ressurected.
Hmmmmm, so, I would actually have the opportunity to date certain guys who have passed on?
Hell, the first thing I would do is my make-up and hair, then go out looking for the Marquis De Sade….. I always wanted to go out with him! LOL.
xoxoxo

157. jim - March 4th, 2008 at 8:17 am

slayer,
a good idea, but not for most that own a house. with most zoning laws, you cant just build a wall like that. you have to apply for all the proper permits, etc. if you live in a area that has a homeowners association, good freakin luck. you cant even change the color of your gutters without their permission. the areas where you can get away with just building a wall like that have a very low population density anyway. as for the rest of the plan, it is fine until the power grid goes down. then you wont have any water or electricity. i understand you talked about solar panels. even the best panels out there are only 30% efficient and you would have to severely limit your appliance use to conserve batteries (if you remembered to add them to your system). once the water stops, you will have to worry about sewage and the subsequent disease it brings. no place in the city or suburbs will let you put up an outhouse. and good luck digging one after the zombies come.
personally, i would only remain in an urban/suburban area for a short amount of time. enough to figure out exactly what is happening (i.e. zombies, asteroid strike, riots or whatever). that would dictate where i would go from there. first things first though, i would get out into the countryside via a non-likely avenue of approach. that is i would not take the highways or other major throughways because they would be clogged with traffic and pannickers. i have already figured my route out of this area. from there i would either link up with friends and family at the predetermined location, or head out to my remote location.
dont get me wrong, you have a good start to the plan, but you need to think further out.

158. matthew - March 5th, 2008 at 2:31 pm

wow uve really thought about that….. but i believe his plan of baring up the windows and abondining the stairs is a desent plan but definatly only short term… you would have 2 get som sort of abondend castle with assalt teams leaveing to collect food but nothing is 100% safe if you seen land of the dead you can see they set up an amazing perimiter electric fences the lot but they still loosse controll in the end,,,, so if thatr happens chances are where all DEAD ………….wb

Ok I feel like Im pretty prepared for a zombie attack but im open for suggestions…so here me out, The first thing you need to realize in a zombie outbreak is that you know nothing, no information gathered from any list,movie,game,book,or whatever can be presumed accurate. Even though I loved dawn of the dead and the zombie survival guide, they are still not worth risking my life over beings that they suggest facts about zombies, and since a zombie attack has never actually occurred let alone been recorded theres no way to came any information on such a thing to be true. If you wanna know where to go from there just ask

matthew, that is pretty much what i said. unfortunately, there are no castles (occupied or abandoned) where i live. you would have to go to europe to find castles. there is an old civil war era fort near here though. you run into 2 problems with those. no running water or electricity. you dont necessarilly need electricity, but you definitely need water.
the assault teams you mention would depend on the area. if you are being horded by zombies, then not probably a good idea. it would be easier to pick them off in a horde until it thinned out. remember that might take a lot of ammo. which i dont mind wasting, but you will need to conserve it at this point. molotovs would be my best bet. cheap, simple and easy. you dont have to use gas either. you can use grain alcohol, lighter fluid, kerosene, etc..
after thinking about it, if i had to be stuck in a urban/suburban area, i thought that a fire department would be a good idea. they are mostly brick and are small enough to defend with a squad sized element or less. they have a small amount of medical supplies and oxygen masks if need be. not to mention, they have 1 cool get away vehicle and a pretty big water supply. they should also have enough hand held radios and scanners to figure out what is going on before the general public does. i figured the police stations would overrun with displaced persons and possibly zombies. a wal-mart or similar business would only be well suited for at least a platoon to defend. with all the doors and exits and all the people to have zombie watch 24/7, it just seems more trouble than it is worth. i wouldnt even attempt a hospital. remember this is only if i am stuck in the city.

In the event of a Zombie invasion, you might as well take an overdose of sleeping pills because here’s the thing: ZOMBIES DON’T DIE UNLESS YOU KILL THEM. There’s no ‘waiting it out.’ They’ll be going forever. And they’ll eventually find you. Zombies can’t die of starvation, so either you kill them or they kill you. It’s that simple.

You could steal a submarine or a cruise ship. A ship will protect you from all zombies except Zombie Jesus. Then you’re fucked.

the hing you forget, exe, is that zomies have no regenerative abilities. as the human body moves (or for that matter any body with muscles) it rips the muscles. Since zombies cannot regenerate, eventually they will effectively rip ther limbs off. In time the zombies are little more than moaing piles of flesh on the ground, easy targets for even the weakest shots.

Neo said it best: “Guns, lots of guns!”‘

-No, guns are okay, but they aren’t exactly ideal. It’s the whole *running out of bullets* thing. Nothing better than some blades. Pick up an s-word and save yo ass.

Zombiecreed knows whats up. Listen, the source of the zombie outbreak governs the best course of action. Also, depending on the source, the response time will vary. However, any kind of fictionalized zombie scenario is helpful. Not only do the movies desensitize you to the situation at hand, but, they give a basic understanding of what a zombie would really be like. So many different theories on zombies. Some of my faves are going to be from The Walking Dead comic series by Kirkman. Amazing. That’s all that can be said.
