Is your plan dependent on zombies in your home town, or anywhere?

(start- Well, this plan is what I'd do if I find out typingabout here...)the zombie infection when at home.



Will you be staying in your home or headed somewhere else?

- Staying home is plan A, if for example I first heard of the outbreak on the news.The house I live in is sort of a trio of houses in a sort of cul-de-sac at the top end of a village built on a hillside. It is more or less surrounded by fence so I am at an advantage for that part, except for the entrance of our cul-de-sac which slopes up (because of the hillside) towards the three houses. I would block the entrance with a car, even though I can't drive yet I could release the handbrake to the bottom (To let you know I am going on the pessimistic assumption that my family is away on holiday or something, as well as the neighbours and I am alone), and push it sideways (for a temporary blockade). Over the week I would use the spare materials (odd DIY stuff) from my and the other two houses to strengthen the fence and replace the car blockade, and also wood from the sheds which I would destory because they would be useless. For an emergency escape plan, I would have 2 options.The first is to connect the roof of my house to others in the village via rooftop bridges, and the second is to have cars readily prepared beside parts of the fence. The fuel tanks of each of these cars will have a long tube -supported by sticks- protruding from them with petrol in, and a petrol covered rope connecting the tube and fuel tank. The tubes from each of the cars will be as close to the house as possible. The idea is if numerous zombies get in, I can light the end of the tube with lighter/match, and the flame will travel through the tube, along the rope into the fuel tank of a car. The explosion should kill enough zombies to clear a path wide enough for me to escape. For water the rainwater would suffice as I get plenty of it,which would be collected in buckets. For food, the food from the 3 houses would last a while, although I'd venture out for more before I run out (see next).



If you're heading out, how do you plan to get there?

-For plan A, after a week I'd venture outside my base (ladders would do for getting in and out since zombies would struggle to climb them).Since I'm in the countryside a farm would be my top prority, along with the village shop. At a farm I'd take chickens so I could have a constant food supply of eggs if my base is cut off for a long period of time (chickens survive off very little feed for a long time), more conventional food in fridges etc, chicken feed, and possibly a shotgun and shells which most farmers tend to have.


Got anyone you want to take with you?


How will you communicate with the outside world, or do you plan to go the hermit route?

What's your weapon of choice? Do you need to reload that thing? Gotta plan for that?


Got a survival philosophy?


Are you willing to hook up with other survivors?


Is your plan based on a book/movie/blog/scientist we may have heard of?
