I suggest that you check out some of the threads on this website about armoring/fortifying your house and car. They will help a LOT. Remember- fortify the outside.

I just don't believe that you can live in a minivan for three months. Where is the bathroom? And three cans plus 2 waterbottles per day= 270 cans, 180 bottles of water. Subtract space for guns and ammo, and gasoline, and a bunk, and you might be able to fit it in a large van, with no other space.

Just general reminders: We don't know anything about zombies, so they might be able to swim or float. And they might not starve, or the military might be wiped out. We just don't know

Another: I just don't see many specifics in the plan. The more you put up, the more we can help you. That also means having backup plans, and making sure you can adjust them to any situation.

Just mu two bits. I look forward to hearing your reply!

You're right, the minivan thing might not be so perfect but you got to make do... besides canned food is not really what I'd bring, I'd bring dried food mainly because they take less space.
Another thing: Zombies can't swim. in all the research I've done zombies can not swim. Also, remember that a zombie is a reanimated corpse so it can't float due to the fact that the density of their body can't change.
But you are right there are things i need to improve and specify a lot on my plan

Dried food is a fantastic idea, and even with the extra water it reduces the needed space.

We don't think they can swim, but in some interpretations some organs decompose and are filled with gas, so... We just try to plan for all occasions.

"a zombie is a reanimated corpse so it can't float due to the fact that the density of their body can't change.
"
When I was in third grade, my mom, for some reason, put me in a swimming class. There was this chubby kid there and everybody was making fun of him. Then the instructor said that we should be quiet because he should be the best swimmer because fat floats. And its true, while we all had to try to stay up, he hardly even had to try.

So, If there's a fat zombie, it's going to be able to float easily.

Zombies aren't always reanimated corpses, look at "28 days later", also even if they can't swin whats to stop them from walking along the bottom of a body of water if they want? If they're undead they might not need to breath air. Just saying be ready for anything.

You are right and i have been doing a lot of zombie research and i hope to be a writer so that i may share that knowledge, but, according to scientists, the #1 possibility of zombies is nanobots controlling our bodies after we die Do you find this valuable?
