Our neighborhood came up around me over the last 20 years by a developer-figures...so now, I have 2-major roads and several secondary roads running around us where once there were none. However, it does give us options for getting out, so we'll make the best of it.
I keep the car packed with a minimum amount of stuff (3-day pack; ammo first aid pack...). At first I thought about using the RXR to get out, but the biggest advantage there is its biggest vulnerability. So here we go: I have packed several "pallette loads" that is I have a stack of boxes for a litterally one-minute drill and they sit next to "we've got some time" boxes. Each contains similar items: (seed, pioneer tools, medicine, FD food stuffs...). Once gone, the residence will be put in a condition that no one can use what is left and you will never be able to "carry" all that you will need because being on a wagon train like exixtance is living artificailly and that is OK for 3-4 months at best. We are moving to a secondary location that is geographically secured to a degree with long steep ridges, water. I am also looking into getting a SAMIL2.0 for our ride out and after some tough times with food until our new garden can produce we should be OK. The thing for our plan is dictated by the area we are planning to go to. We have water pumps, push plows and we'll be living quietly off the grid and since it will be work in getting to us, those northern invaders, used to living in a big city are not likely to want to move in our direction. The first winter is going to be hard, especially for those who lack differetn skill sets and you are not likely to possess those if you have lived in a large city your whole life-dependant on others.
As for friends and family, we have a couple that have "trade" skills and one has access to a mechanics truck (welder, air compressor, TOOLS...) where we are moving to, a farmer I know has a CNC machine.

I hear of the news aobut a zombie outbreak, first i call all of my friends and family to come to my house (its pretty big),make sure that everyone brings everything that could be useful from sleeping bags to guns. after everyone is there we asses the class of the outbreak and set up ways to talk to others probaly short wave CB radios. then setup teams to go and loot near by gas stations exc and setup sign to a seperate base for survivors and refugee. have eyes on a few different points one on a high point on a hill and another is a grain elavator these will be the sub bases. then we will setup guard positions around the perimeter to keep watch and if we get over ran then we have a river a quarter a mile away so we can just float away in a few boats, any have info to perfect the design?

Firstly, when I heard that Zombies had risen, I would get myself up stairs. I live alone so I would not have to cater for family also. I would make sure ALL my supplies and rations were also up here and other sensible items. I would also take a ladder. I'd then knock down my stairs, after boarding up and securing all entrance points obviously.

I would fill the bath and sink with water, before either supply is cut off or the water becomes infected. This would be drinking water for a few days, before it goes stale. My home supplies include two weeks worth of canned food, water fuel and other essential items. I would attempt to contact my 'Zombie survival team' on a radio stream that is always on.

Living in the UK, it is much harder to obtain firearms but I am lucky enough to own a semi-automatic AR15, and various shot guns. I also have ownership of a Remington 700. After approximately 10 days, when all the crazy people causing havoc on the streets have died off, I would meet the rest of my team at a secret rally point. Secrecy is another part of the survival plan, we can not have n00bs interrupting and obstructing us.

As we live in the suburbs, we would have to get to safety. We are all very skilled at certain things, as this will make everything much easier. For instance, we have someone in the team who is very good with cooking in the outdoors, and identifying poisonous plants and such. One member of the team is fantastic with electronics, mechanics and engineering. He also set up the radio system for the team. All the team are in great physical shape.

We're all perfectly well armed, so to say, as we all have a weapon that can be fired - but nothing stupid - and a more trusted melee weapon (ranging from steam treated katanas to machetes to hatchets). We would make our way to an undecided location, to dig in on a more permanent basis.

This is unfinished, let me know what I missed out!

Hello, I am a 16 yr old NCO and marksman in the uk's army cadet force. In the event on zombie attack (or any other catastrophic event) I would hope to collect up as many of my friends (also army cadets) to form a defensive force. I would also try to collect as many of my family and loved one's in an attempt to protect them. I am a strong believer of the Dig in option as opposed to the Bug out method. I would hope to make my, or a friends house our HQ as I live in quite a remote area and leaving a strong hold to live in a much less defensible open area is insane. To start with our supplies would consist of food and water found in the house, Obviously the weapons would be very simple as I live in the uk and firearms are very rare outside of a government armed agencies. I have multiple large knives including a traditional bayonet for a 19th century rifle. I also have an air riffle with a 24x telescopic scope. To help us remain safe centuries would be posted in over lapping pairs, doing an hour stag before switching with another member of the defensive force. My plan "B" if i was unable to collect enough people to form a protective force for my (and other members loved ones) I would Dig in, with my family in my house. This would not change my choice of weapons or available food. It would affect our ability to defend our selves as there would be fewer people to participate in the century duties. In the long term I would hope to orginise re-con patrols (within the defensive force if it was available or just using family members in the even of plan "B") I would hope these Patrols would help us find more advanced weaponry, more food stores and more people to join our community/defensive force. I also think it would be important to watch for an alternative water supply as the tap water may not stay safe to drink indefinitely.

I would appreciate any constructive criticism you may have :)

Ok this is my survival plan

First of all I'd like to say that I live in an island, Puerto Rico to be exact. Most of the houses here are built like fortresses due to the hurricanes. Anyway First things first. I have been thinking of stocking up on food lately in case any thing happens with the 2012 stuff being brought up. For the first couple of days me and my parents would stay in the house. we have a tank which holds our water supplie that we can sanitize. We also always have 50 gallons of water around for drinking. My parents are old already. My dad is 67 and my mom is 58. We would board up the windows and bring our 4 dogs in. we would stay in the house for as long as we are permitted.

If we run out of the stocked food, we have chickens and a bunch of different crops.. We have alot of bananas and plantains which grow very fast and are available all year round. We would gather my family here in my hometown to stay with us for as long as we can stay in the property. We would also try to keep contact with my family in my dad's hometown. When **** hit's the fan, and we can no longer stay in our homes we will coordinate. I have 2 uncles that own yacts. I have family that work in both the medical and law enforcement fields.

I also have family that work in carpentry and masonry. My dad is a retired mechanic and bodyman. We would go to my uncles boat, bring in some small banana and plaintain trees as well as some chickens for eggs and meat. We would also take what ever weapons and supplies we can carry. Once we reach the boat we will meet up with my family from my dad's hometown in this island called mona, which is about 41 miles off the coast of the island.

I live in the North of The Netherlands and this is my plan:

If i hear about a outbreak or something like that i'll go to my home and together whit my family we barricade the home and destroy the stairs. then we search our home for usefull stuff (most of it allready in my room on the top floor). now the stairs are destroyed and the home barricaded the zombie's will not reach us. the next day we'll go to the local Super market and take everything we need for a long time. i will take the stuff from the refrigerator's i know how the code of the lock to open them cause i work there. after having the suply's head to my friends house thats near the market check if he's OK and see if he is willing to join us in our foritfied home. Then watch/hear the news closely on radio and television and try to get information about a bigger holdout place thats near (probebly the military airforce base about 7 miles away) and if not planning to go to the north scandanavia.

the weapons we have at home are: 2 baseball bat's, 1 crowbar, 1 wood axe, 1 spade, lots of kitchen knife's and pen knife's ( we live in the Netherlands so gun's are illegal.

i hope you guys have tips for me to improve my plan.

Although I hope there will be no "zombie apocalypse", it would not surprise me in this day and age if there was, due to all of the governments mucking about with nuclear radiation and such. My friends and I have batted around a few plans and have come up with a justifiable plan. Although it may be risky, I'm all for it.

1. There is a Hummer shop in my town, and that's our first stop. With the back seats ripped out it will make decent transport vehicle, given that my chosen safe place is about an hour and a half away. My neighbor, who is a decent gunman and taught me to adequately fire a gun, will grab another.
2. Of course, I will have to go and pick up those chosen friends. If they are infected, than obviously they won't be along for the ride. My group will be NO BIGGER than 15 people until we are at the safe house.
3. On to the town army surplus, from which we will gather the necessary weapons. I will let the members of my group choose their own weapons, although I will strongly recommend a shotgun and require all of them to carry a magnum as a secondary weapon.
4. Gather up a few necessary items that we cannot get at the safe house, including iodine drops for cleaning water when our supply runs out. (Don't worry, you WILL find out where the safe house is eventually.)
5. Time to move out. Our eldest member, most likely my father, will drive the vehicle, while the rest of the group is in the back. The windows will stay up for most of the drive. My neighbor will have a group also.
6. There is a mall about an hour and a half from my town, and I figure there will be very few zombies that will have stayed there. If the disease struck with people inside, by the time we get there, everyone will already be zombies and out elsewhere searching for a new food source.
7. Fortify the mall and hold out. There are several clothing stores and food stores, so we will have plenty of supplies.
