As a long time "paranoid" person about zombies, i spend some time designing weapons and vehicles as well as buildings to escape in or to use as safe houses for survivors. When i get into a serious discussion with someone about zombies, and i ask them what their plan would be, they almost ALWAYS respond: "I'm gonna go hide in the woods". I know it sounds reasonable to some, but to me, i never look at that person the same way again. They think zombies are ALWAYS confined to cities. people (therefore zombies) live in the woods, too! When they think they're all safe and secure in their little tents which provide no protection (except TO the zombies, as the survivors can't see them coming), the zombies will rip down the cheap plastic their tents are made of. they think zombies are confined to a certain area, and they claim to have done some scouting to check if anyone lives in the general area, but guess what? ZOMBIES ROAM. how else do you think they infect MORE people? They go around, biting the crap outta people, and the more there are, the more likely they are to find you.

Anyone ever see the (awesome) show, "the walking dead"? (yes, i know its' a comic, too). The people had a base in the woods. WHICH YOU COULD SEE OFF OF THE ROAD! They had not 4, not 5, but 1 dinosaur of a gun to protect themselves with! and their idea of a perimiter was a STRING WITH CANS TIED TO IT. No wonder they lost half their people in a later episode. idiots.

So, What could POSSIBLY persuade me that hiding out in the woods on short notice IN TENTS is a good idea? i will scoff at you if you think the "seclusion" of the woods will be enough to protect you from the scourge of the living dead. at least get some walls!
