"Ok, I live in a town that has at least 17,000 people living in it. Me and my buddy refine our plan every time we hang out. Here is what we got. So, the zombie epidemic begins, I get my shot gun, SKS, 9 mm, and of course, a machete or anything for close/silent fighting. I then make my way to my friends house where we already have supplies. enough canned food and bottled water to last at the most to 4 days. While those 4 days are going on, me and him with whoever else happens to be close to us that we trust will be hunkered down in his house. Once the 4 days are up, a lot of people have probably left, died, or joined the zombie ranks. That is when we start organizing our looting of houses and stores. then begin a farm in the back yard to provide our own food, make a rain catcher (It rains almost every day here), and keep our area safe from other looters and zombies. The key is silence, Living people and zombies a like are attracted by noise. Stick with close ranged when facing 1-2 zombies. Only fire your gun when it is last resort or you are away from your base of operations. That is the main idea of my zombie survival plan."
