Excellent places would be somewhere with lots of food and water easily accessible inside,weapons and ammo inside,and idea lookout points.A good place can be a Folgers,a Wal-Mart if the doors are barricaded,or similar place.

I think that if you could, you should build a palisade since this can be used as protection and a trap by taking sharp sticks and sticking them outwards where the zombies head could be, thus taking out the brain and saving your munitions

Okay, so I've been thinking about improvised weapons, which lead me to think about improvised barricades. My home is /not/ the ideal fortress, but if I got some pots and pans, my antique .410 single barrel (inherited), shovel, knives, nightstick/baton, and hatchet for weapons, I could cover barricading most of the house with duct tape, cabinet doors, drawers, furniture, and whatever else to improvise barricades.

I could even tear legs off chairs and sharpening them, sticking sharpened sticks, etc. in places as simple traps, maybe even weakening the floor in places as a traps. Drill/stab small holes in doors to look through and to stab long, pointed things through at any oncoming zombies. I would have to cardboard and styrofoam up the windows to conceal any light or shadows.

I would of course use the phone and computer to contact anyone I could, particularly family, and I would probably only bug in until the panic was over. Soon I'm getting a better gun, so that will be a great help to the plan.

So, let's disscuss bug-in plans, weapons we have at home that we would defend a barricade with, and improvised barricade materials, shall we?

EDIT: I forgot to mention grabbing all my canned goods.

I will give you my backgorund information so you know ruffly where i am coming from. I live in England (for the record only anti terrorist police carry guns, normal people aren't allowed). I run my own property development company. Ever since i was a kid i have been security paranoid, i alway's promised myself when i had money i would live in a bunker. So when i could afford it i had a bunker built around £300 per square foot 12inch thick concrete walls, underground one escape tunnel. It is designed to withstand an indirect nucleur blast (6 miles away) and has it's own air filltration system and plumbing, for chemical warfare. I live in devon with my family (no wife or kids). It was designed as my main residence so the interior is really nice, i could propably survive about 6months on the food and water if i rationed it. It has it's own backup generator so i would not need to really on the grid. Above it is protected with a 8ft high steel chainlink fence 2ft burried below the ground, with cameras on both the inside and outside (closed circuit only viewable from my office). I have a collection of crossbows as we are not allowed guns in England. My question is should i let other survivors apart from my family in the shelter or would that be too dangerous.

P.S. I know i am paranoid but i'll will be the one laughing if anarchy breaks out or Z day happens. I am new to the site so sorry if i have asked a stupid question or have called things by the wrong name.

Im new to this site and you guys do have some great ideas. You've made me think up some cheap easy ideas. Just remember there is tons of stuff but keeping it simple is best.
Laying old tires in tall grass/weeds/brush is a great idea (found it on another thread). String layers of barbwire among it at different heights to keep it from tangleing. Lay it in zig-zag patterns in grass/weeds/brush. Barbwire fences will help slow them up so you have more time to engage.
Pallisades, rock walls, dirt walls, moats, barriers of cars. What ever you have will work. Just set it up to protect you IE bunkers. Or barriers to slow them down.
As for a flare via a trip wire is good but if you have wild animals or large livestock. You dont want it set off by accident and waste a precious flare or alert someone to your presense or defense. A flare can be seen for miles and if its a air flare people over the hill will get a bearing on your hide/base.
Solar/motion sensor lights are a good thing for main roads, trails, and close up defense. If you have power use spot lights hooked up to motion sensors. Even a few for manual operation would work to help blind and pinpoint the intruders. Old cars lights hooked up to old batteries, sliced into some solar panels would work. Im experimenting with some of those walk way lights that are sloar powered. Im hooking the sloar parts to a car battery then hooking it to some motion sensor lights.
Whatever you use remember kids, pets, livestock, & local wild life can set them off. So set them up with this in mind.
The best early warning system is observation and listening post with live, awake people.
To comunicate with your outposts get some military surplus field phones and wire. You can then bury or string the wire in the trees. But the idea is (with rechargeable batteries) you have a secure non-airwaves comunications. Cant be jammed or listenened to.
Any more ideas?

Ok so u and 2 of your buddies are holed up in a 2 story house on the corner of a street you have 2 12gauge shotguns with 50 Rounds and a handgun of your choice with 100 rounds. You and one of your friends go to a shooting range at least twice a month and shoot with 12ga shotguns your other friend has never shot a gun. You have destroyed the stairs to the second floor but u have a rope ladder u can use to get down. Across the street is a grocery store with a good amount of food left in it. The house to the right of the one you're in might have some survivors but u don't know for sure. Down the street is a gun shop and across from that is a construction site with ,obviously, construction materials and a pickup truck that may or may not have gas in it. Unfortunately u are running low on food. U have enough to keep 2 people going for a couple weeks before you run out. The area you're in is not overrun with zombies but u can always see a couple on the street when u look out. What do u do?

you really don't want any other people in your house in less you make quaritine area(a place where you stay if you have a diesease or risk) but you need to board up your house and leave an open little space to shoot the zombies. i would but propane tanks out to shoot when zombies come. always have gas hidden somewhere so looters( people who break in and steal your supplies) don't get it, the reason you would wanna do this is because if you needed to escape you could. always wear a approtiate clothing like masks,gloves,long sleeved shirts,blue jeans,boots with your jeans tucked in them. ammo,water,and food are the most important resources.
i hoped this helped you

I used to always think that zombies were just made up stuff, but I read the Zombie Survival Guide and changed my point of view. My parents won't let me buy weapons of any kind but I need a plan that will fulfill the needs of 5 people, parents, me, 9-year old sister, and 3-year-old sister. Only things that are somewhat weapons are a couple of kitchen knives, a hatchet (we go camping a lot), a couple aluminum and wooden bats, and about five small pocket knives (max blade length 4in.). There is a church and a building that used to be a Ralph's nearby. Please help me!
