What do you think you'd do in a ZA?
i'm just curious, how long do you honestly think you'd survive one. And what do you think you'd do.
I'd give myself 3-6 days on my own, maybe a couple of months in a group. I doubt i'd be that brave. I don't live in a area with many objects that could be used so unless i managed to get myself in a place full of food i'd probaly die very quickly in, That and i'm not the best runner,so either i'd end up in a Group and try to live as long as i could,or i'd be among the first to go.
What about you; random person who's reading this?

If I weren't at home when it happened I don't know what I'd do.
EDIT: I don't think I'd be one for a group - but if I stumbled upon one that wasn't trying to kill me, then maybe...
In all seriousness, I believe in Christa and Omid's plan. I'd be good with one or two people, not a whole group.
I don't believe in safety in numbers.
I actually have a friend who's not on these Forums, and he said he'd make a group in the nearby school if this happened. Which (using the other descriptions) i see as a nicer crawford.
Sorry got carried away, my other plan would be to go to my local Air force base and take refuge there, let the military sort it out (my parents are retired Air Force)...
Rule 1: Cardio
Rule 2: Double Tap
Rule 3: Beware of Bathrooms
Rule 4: Fasten your Seatbelt
Rule 34: ....
Seriously? Rule 34...
....
There are only 33 rules.
Nice save, Sony.
This would be us. Honestly. Especially if we saw what he saw. Like his schoolmates being raped in front of him. Death and destruction, losing half of his class in one night.
If that goes to shit for any reason, I'd grab whatever supplies I can, stuff my car to the brim and drive to my family's lakehouse deep in the woods with next to no nearby humans. There would be very few walkers there, if any at all, and it's easily defensible. The water there is filtered water from the lake itself, so no need to worry about that running out, and for food we already grow our own fruit and vegetables. With a little work, I bet we could get crops, so I reckon I'd last quite a bit. Unless I die in one of the inevitable supply trips, or the very beginning, I think I could endure long enough to get terribly bored, especially when the electricity runs out.
Or I'd sneak into the big Tesco and hide there and hopefully meet more survivors and last a bit longer.
I can't say I'd last long but my house is a bit difficult for Walkers to access.
In all realism, as soon as I had a clear idea of what was going on, if I was at my college campus, I'd try to get in contact with my folks and get them to come them over to where I am (my college is in a big town surrounded by rural areas, while my home is in the suburbs of a big city). If the authorities (the army, the police, the national guard, etc.) weren't able to get a hold of things (which according to Kirkman, they wouldn't), I guess I'd try to join or form some sort of commune with other students, staff, and locals. I DO believe in safety in numbers, not just to fend off walkers, but all the armed wannabe Rambos that would start killing people for their stuff.
Eventually, we'd either have a relatively secure safe zone like the ones in The Last of Us (damned Fireflies!), or another dictatorial and fanatical Woodbury/Crawford (I'd hope not), or a massive breakout and panic where everyone would die (hey, it was worth a shot).
Then, I'd hit a nursery, get me some good seeds and possibly a fruit tree. Gotta learn to live off the land, what is safe to eat, how to tend to crops, and how to defend them.
Next, any kind of sporting goods store to get me some nice baseball bats. Slashing tools like axes and swords would take years to learn to use properly, and would quickly dull in the process. A bat is intuitive and hopefully durable. You just swing it at the head and hope to break some bone.
Lastly, miscellaneous tools; hammer, saw, nails, anything else I could find that would be useful.
With all that stuff in my possession, I'd make like Omid and Christa and gtfo of town, find someplace way out in the country, and set up there. Of course, I'd definitely try to get in touch with family and friends, but I won't wait around forever... I'm a terrible sibling
Guns are illegal in our country so we would have to resort with melee weapons, i have some samurai swords laying around, they are cheap and blunt as hell, but if sharpened they could still cut off a walkers head. We have some axes and stuff, but guns will be a near impossibility to find since not even cops carry guns, only in rare occasions.
My parents house is owned by my family and my uncles family, since it was such a big house (used to be a super market), it was divided into 2 living spaces, so we would tear down the walls and make it 1 large home where the 2 families can look out for eachother, some strong able men allways helps.
My dad is a very handy person, and we have lots of plate metal laying around my parents house, he could easily manufacture some armor for us not to get bitten.
And thats about it, make food runs, make everything yours as soon as possible, family is a big thing in our family, so we will not bat an eyelash if we have to kill other survivors to get more gear and food. No strangers allowed, not even for a days refuge unless they have something valuable.
And thats that.
Beggining: My school is two floors with a roadway for cars surrounding it. So it can easily be barricaded with cars which can also be used via quick get away. Its also near a pharmacy and convenience store for supplies. Id encourage my group to eat products with a short expiration date first and others later. I dont eat much, so i can gain trust by offering my rations. The upstairs kitchen room has very big doors and is connected to two other large rooms. All three of these rooms have things like knives and such. We can use these rooms to sleep and eat in. There is also a woodshop which has the closest we have to surgical supplies, but we wont need them if we can get anything from the doctors office on the second floor of the pharmacy. The town is very small, so not many zombies to deal with, should a horde somehow break through the barricade there is an easy escape through the second floor window onto a tall vehicle like a storage truck. Every room has a second route to escape through. Id trade some food to other groups for weapons and silencers. Its a large forestry area, plenty of animals around as i know there people in the neighbourhood with farms. Easy place to grow food. Minus the lack of guns, id say i have a plan to at least last a few months.
awesome.
