I can't think of a better place to be during the zombie outbreak than a low-population area such as Wyoming or Kentucky. Exept for one thing: the fact is that with a smaller population there would be less stores, which means ultimately that there would be substantially less rescources and, therefore, a lower chance of survival. The last time that I checked, you needed a large amount of sustenance in order to stay alive in the long run. A better bet would be a place like Texas where guns are plentiful, as are the rescources, despite the fact that it would be somewhat difficult to travel from place to place. Besides, everyone knows that everythng's bigger in Texas (and that includes the guns and statistics that would lean torwards survival! Rock it OUT!

Rock it OUT!"Remember that it takes one zombie bite to kill you, not ten. Being in a 'low-population area' (read: Wyoming has ~530,000 people compared to California with ~37 million) doesn't mean zilch if you can't defend yourself! The stores are a problem, but if you can find a vehicle, a store, and some way to refil your gas (fill a few gallon-containers right as the sh*t is hitting the fan), then that's actually a good option. Texas is actually bigger than you think (hey, everything IS bigger in texas!), so you'd have loads of zeds to fight off. Do you find this valuable? |

Ammunition could be a problem, but isn't the ratio of guns to people bigger than in a place like cali?There's this great thing out there called "Nature"! There's more of it with a smaller population. With smaller rounds, you can hunt. If you find a river or lake, fish. Or, god forbid, you would have to get your hands dirty and farm, or work for a living! 1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

"Ammunition could be a problem, but isn't the ratio of guns to people bigger than in a place like cali?"I don't know exactly what you mean here, but if you think that more people have guns in a high-population place, you're usually right. Still, California is a very gun-defensive state (Semi-automatic weapons are illegal unless the clip size is ten or fewer IIRC, and full-atuomatic weapons are illegal as well). For a good work-around, do a quick google search of "[state name here] GUN LAWS" and write the top ten most attractive states based on balanced populations and gun laws. Remember that you don't want to be in jail or a felon of questionable background when TSHTF! Do you find this valuable? |

in cardiff, wales i would say cardiff castle, it is relatively intact, secure and has many vantage points, plus another small complex on the inside to fall back to. and its corridors are long, so plenty of space to see a zombie running at your face, it is in cardiff near the mueseum

i live in phoenix az, and know of 6 good gun shops off the top of my head within 7 miles, so ammo/guns is no issue. i also know of prob 20 stores within the same distance, there goes the food/drink problem. ant there is a gas station on almost every corner, there goes the fuel problem. there is a very secure school about 2 blocks from my house, there's my fort. All of my mates have talked about this situation with me, and have agreed with me and decided to meet me at the school... *poof* a team. theres a place i know of that sells big ass trucks (some armored) within 5 miles, theres our transportation. so let's discuss how i'll be doing in this situation, shall we.... VERY WELL!

England has a tunnel connecting it to mainland Europe. Unless that gets demolished early, then this place is gone too. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

I think you guys put too much trust in guns. In my opinion it's nice to have a loaded shotgun when you're tight. But the weapon you want to rely on most should not need something (e.g. ammo) to work. I think you'd be much better off wearing some decent armour and a machete or a blunt weapon. You could use a sword as well, but most swords aren't made for fighting these days and you don't want to find out your sword is crap when you're knee-deep in zeds. And what's the problem with the big landmass? Shouldn't that just make it easier to move from place to place and keep loading whatever supplies are left? Do you find this valuable? |

Minnesota is the place to be. Relavtively loose gun laws, meaning you do not need a permit to buy shotguns or rifles, but you do for handguns, but once you get that permit it lasts for a year so, yeah. WE have plenty of space 86943 square miles, but we have a population of 5.3-ish million people, but we got Lake Superior which has a couple little islands so yeah.

See here for a good idea of what will happen.: http://www.zombiesurvivalwiki.com/page/The+Panic It is better to prepare now, and collect everything you can now, before shtf. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

Just want to say something about Texas.More guns spread among people =/= safety It is more likely those guns will be in the hands of actual people than lying on the side of the road. Plus, those people will probably not want anything to do with you if you have nothing to offer. Lax gun laws don't mean crap about SURVIVAL. You need a $1800 piston-operated AR-15 to fight zombies. You need a beat-up $80 Mosin-Nagant to survive them. 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

30 26 19 18N93 58 01 40W Coords off of google earth Town-Buna State-Texas RVE point- Buna Water Tower Once BOL is secure I will proceed to check at this RVE until we can no longer support any additional members to our party. Buna has a low population with a high concentration of wildlife, meaning lots of hunters, if they are dead there will be ammo and firearms if one wanted to scavenge. Will check the RVE every few days or perhaps once a week whichever is best. If you arrive to the location but have the need to scavenge to resupply, leave some form of notification so I will know your in the area. You will be screened if you are accepted into the group. Firearms will be prohibited for a small extent of time, till you have been integrated into the group. It will not be permanant and if you choose to leave you will be given back your gear and expected to leave the general vicinity. PM me for additional information. Do you find this valuable? |
