" Thus fare i've only understood that he might be trying to communicate.

Possibly has a lack of understanding of his audience, same as i had when i first came on the site. Or he's ether an infant, has down-syndrome or is some kind of gangsta from the city."

I'd be going for the first one.

"But if there's no roles in the group then how would the group be able to find shelter and supplies safely and sufficiently?"

Every survivor should be able to do this, regardless of task or title they've been assigned. Finding shelter is fundamental to survival. The first sentence stated in a survival 101 class should include something about finding shelter, as in cold and wet conditions, or extremely hot climes, finding respite from the elements isn't a matter of comfort - it's a matter of life and death. Remember your Rules of Three.

Rule of Threes: three minutes without air, three hours without shelter (in inclement weather), three days without water, three weeks without food. Prioritize accordingly.

Shelter needn't be fancy. Cover from rain and a break from wind puts you way ahead of the game. If you can get a little fire going, or find some other way of staying warm, it'll do just fine.

Finding supplies isn't as vital as obtaining shelter, and is a much broader topic. This is also pretty simple though. Water, food, and basic medical supplies are a given. Do you really need much else than those things? I think I'd be pretty happy with a roof over my head, water and food in my tummy, and something crammed into my wounds to stop the bleeding.

"careful when buying mil-surp gas masks guys, they do have an expiration date and many are well past it. "

True
Now if you know what to look for and can test them before purchse, the expiration date is a "expected" average expiration date with use.
Stored new and never unpacked from it's storage wrapping it can easily out last it's date. Especially if stored properly.
So if purchasing milsurp do it where you can inspect it physically first.
If ordering it on line make sure it has a money back guarantee on it's serviceability.

Funny enough, one of the more realistic vectors for a zombie virus was in a movie I did, Rockabilly Zombie Weekend. It's a B-movie all filmed with locals from Florida all on location, but the method they had for creating the virus was a new pesticide sprayed by crop dusters mutating the West Nile virus and causing the mosquitoes of Florida to spread it.

"Fire pistons require a specific minimum ratio of compression. IIRR it is 35:1. Making one seems simple, but missing that ratio will result in failure. The size of the tube is not all that makes the difference, the tightness of the seal is significant. The one I attempted to make has to failure points. Both are with the plunger. I used an O-ring for the seal. The O-ring fits snugly, but the gap between plunger and tube is so great that the O-ring allows too much air to pass. My next attempt will use a plunger with a much closer fit and a smaller O-ring.
"

Yeah, I typically advise people to just buy one. It's tough to make one yourself that will stand up to repeat use.
