well, first off the hospital is the worst place. They always have those glass doors and stuff and NO food. All they have is a bunch of crazy doctors and such trying to figure out wth is going on, just like you. Personally out of all of that, I would go with the millitary base. Free food, guys running around in circles to protect you, and if you need you can just run the heck out of there. This might be the wrong choice though, as they may freak out when a zombie gets in, put you on a bus and your driveing through infected not geting your own descision. So if you dont like the sound of that, 2nd would probaly be Walmart. Food, entertainment and such, though some might not be suitable as there are to many ways in. if thats the case, home depot. Its got, agein, entertainment. I dont think there heavy on food, but they could be in shoping centers next to groccery stores. 2nd worte would be sky scraper. No food, entertainment and no way out. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I would avoid the military unless I was inspecting their corpses for supplies or intel,most likely there would be marshall law declared and anyone caught with a weapon,after dark,or looting would either be shot on site or detained...also with a failing infastructure I think that the majority of them would turn against the civilian population and become like warlords using force to dictate the meak.

Persnally, I am chosing a military base. There's one a few miles out of town. It's one of the biggest in the worls, and they do weapons training and testing there, so there'd be unlimited guns (pretty much), they have tanks and som much stuff. Bomb shelters, food stores. It's on the praries so you can see for hundreds of miles. Lots of cows and wheat too. Do you find this valuable?

pretty much, except with yellow gold (wheat), instead of real gold, which is more valulable in a z-day scenario, unless you plan to chuch bricks of gold at zombies. I imagine that fort knox would have more limited exits and stuff, where as my base would have many exits, and conversely, many enterences. Do you find this valuable?

Worst:

Hospital. by far the worst place you can go. thats the first place the infected are going to go. there are tons of rooms, enterances, and once your inside its not like a wide open space. every corner could hold death. granted hospitals would be very helpful if your sick, or injured. however, i dont think a hospital offers much more then your local drug store, and has 100x the risk. even weeks into it, hospitals are still a very hard place to lock down. not to mention how many people will try to get in there for supplies as well.

Military Base is also really bad. granted there are weapons, but its anther zombie hot spot. the base will try to offer protection against the zombies, but will fail when it brings in the wounded. eventually it will be over run from the inside out. and when people with body armor start becoming zombies, your chances of defending yourself plummit. maybe a good place to go after a month or two, but god only knows how long it would take to be overun. if you show up in the middle of choas, your as good as dead.

Walmart or any other store with supplys, would also be bad. first wave against walmart would be looters, and people who are scared to death trying to get food and water. eventally zombies will show up, and that will be that. walmart might be good after a few weeks, but it would be hard to secure. the best case is if you can find a closed super market. but thats assuming your the only one trying to break in. and once you break in you have to board what you just broke to get in.

the beach. perhaps the dumbest place you could possibly go.

home depot: worse then walmart. even IF you can sucure it, your food supply is gone in a week. and thats with candy bars and chips. and there are really no zombie killing weapons.

mountain: i'm guessing the average joe wouldnt know how to survive in the mountans. it would be like trading zombies for bobcats

Church: would also be very bad. churchs would let everyone in. there are no weapons, scarce amounts of food. and most churchs were not built strong enough to hold out against the zombies. you could try to fortify, but it would be rare for a church to have enough lumber laying around to do that.

Retirement Home: the only real benefit here is meds, thats it. its not a prison for old people, and wasnt built to be. defending would be tough, and all you have is old people telling you what to do. there would be food, but how long can you and the old people hold out with it? if your willing to kill the old folks then it wouldnt be too bad, but still not recomended.

Next up is average places. we dont think these are the worst, but there not the best either. it really depends on your specific situation as to how well these can work for you.

Your Home/Apt: this one is very tricky, and greatly depends on where you live. i live in a apt, in the middle of a city thats about 40k people strong. i wouldnt try to hold out there or most other highly populated places. you not only have to worry about zombies, but other survivours trying to come and steal your food. speaking of food it also depends on how much food you have and how many people live in your house. if its you and your wife, and you guys like to spend $500 a week on food, chances are you'd be fine, for a while. if your going to stay in your home we recomend it be a brick, or concreat home, with small windows. the fewer windows the better. we also recomend it be out in the middle of no where, so you can see people/zombies coming if and when they do.

Police Station/Jail: anther tricky one. if you can find a abandoned jail, thats pretty close to perfect. however, with most prisions today being overcrowed chances are you wont find one. if you go into a prision with people, your only option would be to kill the everyone there. however that would take a lot of ammo, and the smell would be almost unbearable. plus you have to wonder if the smell would bait zombies. food would be prision food, but its food. and there would probably be enough to last a great while. if your not willing to kill everyone in the prision, or let them die, then dont bother.

Good Places.

Skyscraper: the hardest part about this is getting it secure. most skyscrapers are office buildings, and were guessing that if a zombie/apocalyptic event happend most people wouldnt stay at work. they go home, or to a walmart for food. all you'd really have to do is shut down the elevator, and lock the stairs. once your there food becomes a problem. but some skyscrapers do have restarauntes, pick one that you know does.

Oil Rig: yes we know theres there dangers such as even getting to one, and hurricans. but truth be told the oil rigs in the gulf survived katrina better then new orleans. these things were built to stand up to huge storms, and they do. granted if something happens to it your screwed, but chances are if something happens to anything your staying in, your screwed there too. an oil rigs difficulty to get to is both its biggest strenth and weakness.

at first the biggest challenge is not the zombies, but choas and people. if you can find a small cvs, or walgreens it wouldnt be too bad, as most people wouldnt try to go there for supplys. even a local mall, if you can get in a secure it, wouldnt be too bad.

this list really depends on where you, and how many people live around you. its impossible for 1 place to work for everyone. the best advice would be to get away from everyone you can, and go from there. if you cant get away from people, like you live in a big city and theres no way in or out, then work with what you have. even if you have to stay in your own home do so.

worst - areas that you are unfamiliar with. increases your odds of trapping yourself in a blind alley or corridor or room with only one exit. plus, you will not know where supplies are located and where the weak points are.

Best - areas you are familiar with.
