stay put or go out?
Feb 26 2011, 3:04 PM EST
Well i was thinking the other day... if zombies were on my street, what would i do? Go outside and face certain death? or stay put and wait for help? Firstly i have enough food in my house to feed me and my family for about 2 weeks if we ration it out. We dont have any guns, just blunt weapons and stuff. Supposeing i gooutside deadrising style and fasten a bunck of knifes to a golf club then im dead meat.What im saying is, what would you do? grab a chainsaw and hope for the best or hold hands and read bibles, praying for help. The best idea is to keep calm and get to the roof, acces the situation from hight and see how many zombies are outside. if i like my odds i would clmib from house roof to house roof until i get somwhere safe. here i would scavange to find some food and weapons and secure the area. Im thinking of looking for more survivors so that we can band together and meybe put a wall around our territory and keep out zombies. Definatly get out of the city first! meybe go to the peat district. im safer there as there are more small towns that will have less zombies and probably more unscavenged supllies. Do you find this valuable? |

The very first thing i would do is get weapons and then i would asses the situation if bugging in i would make sure all doors windows are locked then i would begin to barricade the house and call freinds fammily.the rest would depend on the earlier assesment. Do you find this valuable? |

Whether you bug in or out depends on your preparations and exactly where the zombies are and how many there are. If you plan on bugging out, you should have a location set up already that you can go to. Preferably not a public place, as you won't be the only one with that idea. If you're bugging in, have supplies set up to fortify the house and plenty of non-perishable food and water at the VERY least.If you want to bug out, look at the surrounding area on Google Earth and check. I've found some interesting spots that not everyone knows about. Do you find this valuable? |

I gotta question. How are the zombies made? Is it from a virus? If so, they wouldn't be undead. They'd still have to be alive. Is it from a parasite? That could use the body as a puppet. So that can explain the 'undead' state and the desire to consume flesh. Maybe some form of bacteria that eats a cell and copies it? So the whole person would end up becoming a colony of bacteria (Yea, it's a shot in the dark).And the age old assumption (or question) that zombies are slow (or 'are they slow or fast?') Well, think about it. Do you guys know of any hunter that is slow? If so please tell me, I'd love to know =D But yea, I think zombies would be fast for the sheer fact, they have to be able to catch their prey. Otherwise we could literally walk around, keeping completely calm and easily avoid them. Yea.. Just my takes on them =P 0 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

So the whole person would end up becoming a colony of bacteria (Yea, it's a shot in the dark).to answer your question,you have to answer another.how can something move fast thats actively deteriorating? their joints,tendons,and ligaments could not withstand the stress of moving at a humanely high rate of speed.you are right about what hunter in nature moves slower than its prey statement.i honestly cant think of one off the top of my head.but why do they need to move fast? the best way to describe a zombie horde is like a colony of ants,strength in astronomical numbers.one person could easily move around a group of zombies like around 10, given they arent completely arm and arm surrounding you as if playing duck duck goose,you would just be screwed then especially unarmed.

@Necrolok, to be totally honest, it doesn't really matter what the zombies are made from.Just suppose they are super-fast, strong, can fly. etc. Then If you prepare your BOL for those kind of zeds, your BOL will be pretty much indestructible. We usually go along the lines of mutated rabies etc. But there are other reasons. Meaning that they would be "Ragers", Fast Zeds that pursue prey at speed. To answer the OP, stay put for the first few days or so. Let the panic and initial wave to die down at least a little, then move-out to your BOL, and carry on how you would.

Lets face it. If you live in an urban environment Bugging in is not a permanent solution. Eventually you will have to move away where you can acquire resources in the manner they have been for thousands of years.

Bugging In for an urban scenario means you didn't get the notice early enough to Bug Out, so now you're force to stay.You can always keep quiet, but eventually you'll need to go out. Do you find this valuable? |
