Too easy.
Lock the doors and start handing out the hardware.

man what is the deal with all the people planning to use a broom handle as a weapon recently?

There are probably fifty things in any building that are better improvised weapons than a metal broom handle. Do you guys have like some amazingly sturdy broom handles that I don't know about? Because I've worked/lived at four different places where I had to sweep up and at none of those places was I given a broom I would be willing to risk my life using as a weapon. Do you not own a shovel, hoe, garden rake, baseball bat, cricket bat, combat knife, axe, hatchet, metal pipe, rolling pin, steel toed boots, wine bottle, crowbar, unopened can of soda, brick...do I need to keep listing stuff? I could probably come up with more.

A zombie has busted through my window & snuck up on me(like no one is able to hear a window busting from 50' but for thiese purposes...) I would slam the laptop into its head then procede to the solid metal standing light to keep it at bay long enough for my brother or dad to get the gun. Then get our respective BOB's & get the F*** out of dodge. Picking up the assigned passengers on the way to BOL. 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

1) i'd grab the metal extension for my vacuum cleaner

2) I'd crawl through the passage that leads to the back of my laundry room ( the exit of the laundry room is on the opposite end of the hallway from the room I'm in)

3) I'd get by the zombies that were at the door of the room I was previously in by whatever means neccesary since they'd be at the base of my stairs. Probably have to crack a skull or two with my vaccuum cleaner extension haha. ( I kinda assumed it was two zombies)

4)Head up to my room, grab my spear and knife, put on the Some comfortable jeans, my hiking boots, and my leather jacket, and grab my bag, which i would add my large sugar cane knife too,

5) Grab my fishing gear, and the keys to my truck, and gtfo.

6) drive straight north along gravel roads until I hit the lakes of northern saskatchewan.

5)

This one would be interesting for me...

Currently on a base, at work, active duty Navy. If Z's are showing up at the door, my guess is it's a slower incubation, which means anyone could be infected. Trust no one.

1) Run half way across the large room and grab the random flag pole I see. I'll actually hold the thin end and use the base to push zombies away from me.

2) Get off the watch floor and check the stairs. If there are zombies there, I may have to take the elevator.

3) Get the eff outta the building and to my car, using my (not cat-like) agility and my improvised zombie pusher to get there.

4) Drive off (hoping as before that the roads are clear-ish). If I encounter any zombie-guards, I may have to attempt a kill for the weapon, as it's a ways to my house, and I will likely wind up on foot sooner than later.

5) Let's say I make it within a few miles of my house. I'm using my phone GPS to get home, walking, staying away from the main road, but close enough to it. Unfortunately, lots of houses all around mine, so probably a lot of Zeds. I try to play avoidance, but I may have to shoot a couple (if I had the gun) or push them and run (if not.)

6) Finally, out of breath, I make it home, to the lovely sight of my wife and brother in law dispatching zombies with glee. I almost forget to shout that I'm home, and nearly get my dome blown off. We slip back into the house and go lights out. Our house already looks mostly unoccupied. We'd just have to barricade the front/back door and be gravy for a short term bug in.


And this is why I don't like being active duty...z-day would not go so well for me as others in more gun-friendly places (instead of on base in MARYLAND, crappy 2A laws).

If they got beer and pizza open the door and we can have a zombie party. Those are the type of friends I have.

Real zombies and not my fiends:

I am in a Holiday Inn, (traveling to test for pollution at a few Kentucky coal mines this week.)

First look to make sure I locked the door, and realize I don't have a gun (no guns on the job).
Second make sure I didn't **** my pants.
Third is to thank God I brought my BOB with me.
Fourth plug the tub and fill it with water, in case I am stuck there a few days to allow the Panic to settle.
Fifth get my strait blade from my BOB along with some 550 cord. Use the shower curtain, knife, and cord to make a spear. Dispatch the zombie at the door and any in the hall.
Six-ed go to the vending machine and empty that sucker out, along with water and pop.
Seventh go to the SUV and get the pulaski and shovel.
Eighth call home and make sure the wife and kids locks everything down, loads the guns, and prepares to defend themselves.
Ninth wait until morning and determine if I should try to get home.

Hah! You laughed when I bought this peanut gun, but now that it's time to egress my office, I have it in my pocket, with five rounds of smokin' hot .22 shorts to pop point-blank into zombie foreheads!

Okay, that probably won't save me, but I have two improvised melee weapons at my disposal: a 4' long, 1/2" steel pipe (I have NO idea why it's here) that lives in the closet in the break room, and the cast iron/steel blade from the paper cutter, which has a handle, is heavy and sharp as hell, and which I know I can detach to wield like an axe because I have a multi-tool that will remove nut that holds it on.

The office has three doors. I plan to exit whichever one is not reverberating with the thumps and thuds of zombie bodies and beat feet to the car, punching the "unlock" button on the key fob all the way. I'll likely use the pipe like a lance, to deflect them rather than try and kill them, and save the little pistol for when I'm actually trying to get into the car. If I really have to fight my way through, I'll go with the paper cutter blade. I bet it'd crack heads quite nicely.

Once I get to the car, I can probably get home. It's 4.6 miles and I know two routes on the highway and at least four routes on surface streets.

Once I get to the house, it should be all good. All my bug out supplies are in the garage and laundry room, which is the most defensible area of the house. Of course, I'd call ahead and my teen son and daughter would be filling the plastic water jugs and assorted USGI canteens, retrieving the gas from the shed (four 2.5 gal. cans for my 10 gal. tank), and loading magazines. We have seven 9mm weapons that use S&W 59 series magazines, and at last count I had 27 mags of 15 or 17 rounds. If that doesn't get us out of the house and down the road, well, we're probably kibble, anyway.

The dogs would be raising all kinds of hell, so I have a bit of warning.

1) Reach beside the couch and grab my wife's .357 for any that get in. Put her guarding the door.

2) Flip the wrought iron bakers rack down in front of the door as a barricade.

3) Push the entertainment console in fron of the window. The bottom of the window is about 4 feet off ground level, so now access is 7+ feet off the ground but we can still see.

4) Run back and move the washing machine in front of the back door

5) Go in the bedroom and get my .45 and some clips from the closet.

6) Make sure the garage doors are closed.

7) Look outside to see how many Zed's are around. Then decide whether we bolt or dig in.

My current B.O.B gear is at my other house so that kind of sucks but anyway hear it goes....
First i would grab the machete that is about 10 cm away from my hand rght now, unwrap it (i keep it hidden in an england flag) . Grab a random duffel bag that is about 5m away from me, empty the contents of my "bits and bobs" box full of random survival gear. Grab my binoculars and my hunting slingshot-throw that in the bag to. Climb out of the window, and do some james bond ******* down the drain pipe :) nice thread by the way .

Hm. Walked into this thread while at work: major city fire house, doors open. It will probably begin by one walking right in the front door and someone thinking that they are a sick walk-in patient until the feeding frenzie starts. I, however, realize that this isn't your ordinary crackhead or dipper strung out on PCP. It may take a minute to sink in but then all hell will break loose. Dispatch will be sending units all over the city and things will be as far south as they can go. Got the tools on the apparatus, lots of em. If I can convince the crew that this is real, stay in the vehicle and play wack-a-mole with everyone that tries to climb up. Pick a route and head for the fire boat and get out on the river. An added bonus that the police and fire share the same pier. Maybe they would be a bit generous with weapons. If not, the 2000 GPM monitor nozzle will keep anything at a distance. Of course, if it is truly a snot storm out, I may just not get too far before total exhaustion overtakes me.

Where I am at the minute? If they're attaking the front door, I can shove the cabinet in front of it, that would prbably slow them down a bit. All I have at the minute is acricket bat, which is in my room. So I'd have to sprint upstairs to get it. From my room, I can get out onto the flat roof and climb down to the street, but I don't know how much use that'd be with zombies right outside. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

My front door is locked and my curtains closed. I'd look pull back the curtain to see who was hitting my door. Then I'd change my clothes, grab my BOB and go out the side door to my car. Take smaller roads as far as I can get outside the city, then go on foot.

My plan isn't very exciting.

What if you are surrounded?

Why did you open your curtain? Why not look through the peep hole or listen first before opening the curtain? Before opening the curtain, they didn't know you were in there and now they do unless you were lucky. If they are at your door, wouldn't you think going absolutely quiet be a better plan than opening curtains and making noise inside? It is better to have your doors locked before hand that way you do not have to fumble with them making noise.

Wait until the horde, pack, and perhaps the individual zombie moves on before going into full survival bug-out or bug-in mode. However, do not remain in the city for long unless you have a survival complex in the city on an out of the way road. Such roads do exist and they are recommended for city survival compounds due to the importance of keeping your anonymity and low key existence.

I always lock my doors and it was night time when I posted so my curtains were closed. If I knew there were zombies about, I wouldn't be checking my doors. But random banging on my door without any other information? I'd need to either open my door to find out who it was or look out the curtain. I opt for looking out the curtain.

I don't think there would be anything to attract zombies down the driveway. There's a rusty old gate and my car around a bush. The gate wouldn't be difficult to take down, but there isn't much to attract them in that direction. If I thought there were zombies around there, I wouldn't be in any rush until they cleared out of there.

Ooh, fun! I am currently a guest at my uncle's house. The door to my room is wide open right now. Okay, let's see...

First I want to close the door, which opens inward toward me (good for me). I've got a wooden chair handy, a fork, a glass vodka bottle and not much else.

If I manage to push them out of the room and close the door, my next (and only) move is to go out of the window, after slipping on my shorts and running shoes (time permitting of course). Oh hey - I just found a flashlight (yoink)!

Once I go out the window, I am in the front lawn; by some stroke of awesome, my monte carlo is five feet away, facing the driveway, and I just filled the tank yesterday (win!). I can go left and be on the interstate in five minutes, or I can go right and take the back road into the next town, from which I can access two other major highways. I must take care to avoid the walmart crowd, as there is one nearby, along with several super-duper-mega-markets.

I think I would get out just fine this time.

1) I am behind a locked cypher steel core door with 1 vent-style window in a back room, located on the second floor of a building that was built to be a bomb shelter back in the 50s. I have about 20 gallons of water, a keurig, and 3 mini fridges. I am also on a military base. I am not going anywhere. If there are zombies at MY door, I am pretty much screwed.
