    Most people dont have emergancy food supplies never mind anything else. If there was some major incident and food supplies ran out most people would be starving. Even keeping a few tins is better than nothing.

    Befriend a mormon. Most keep a stock of emergency food

    When is the lame zombie fad going to end? Do you all think Chuck Norris facts are hilarious too?

    Well, not all of them. Just most of them.

    Zombies would be a complete non-issue if they were anything like the zombies in the movies.

    I've already started glowing plants in neat rows on my front lawn. I'll be safe just as long as the zombies walk in straight lines towards them and none of them are capable of polt vaulting.

    actually in the event of a zombie apocalypse the best fire arm to have is a . 22 and a impact weapon , perhaps a hurley

    so Ireland isn't such a bad place to be what with it being an island and all, fairly farming orientated. lots of castles and other natural defensive features

    They're already a complete non issue because they don't exist and "zombie survival techniques" is just a kooky internet fad.

    Awful shame you're stuck here with nothing else to talk about....

    Are there no other topics that interest you? Perhaps you could start a thread?

    Fast zombies would be a bit of a non issue in the real world. The human body would rip itself apart in a few hours if it acted like they did.

    A more realistic slow zombie would be very dangerous. A disease that could achieve that wouldn't take a few hours, viruses and the like need days to do their work. With a few days of incubation and infectious people walking around infecting others a huge chunk of the population would be infected before zombies start appearing at all. It would kill cities and turn them into toxic waste dumps for years, even if the zombies never roam outside the city that's the end of the modern world as we know it.

    International trade is one of the most important aspects of modern society, anything that prevents that from happening will have tremendous effects on the human population. the zombies pose an immediate threat but the real problem will be the breakdown of international trade.

    It's inevitable to the handful of overgrown teenagers that waffle about it online, I suppose.

    I was thinking about this the other day.
    How do zombies identify healthy people? Is it movement or some infra-red/Utra-Violet means? Or is it that healthy humans would walk around normal?

    If its just that zombies can identify one type of "food", ie healthy humans, then all we have to do is dress differently, like put on a big clown suit or dress like a tree or something. Then they wont be able to identify us as food or whatever.

    So ye, simple defense against zombies. Wear Clown Suits.

    I don't think zombies would be all that effective at identifying living from dead and might just attack anything that moved or made sound. After a few days their senses are going to be failing. If they did attack another zombie they would eventually be able to tell it's infected and move on maybe because it didn't taste right of the disease itself being repulsive to other infected.

    Even with that level of detection it will keep the zombie horde moving with each zombie chasing the one in front of it. It's more like a tsunami effect than targeted attacks.
