Ideal place to setup camp in a zombie apocalypse?

It's quite disturbing how turned on I am by this thread.

lads no its a trap.

She says it now and then when the apocalypse happens you'll all flock to her aid but it will all be a trap and we'll have all our items taken from us and forced to do all the crappy work like dig wells or fight off the invasions with crappy weapons as she rules over us all with an iron fist. We'll be chained together with no hope of escape and forced to sleep outside in a crappy hut on the floor and given hardly any food or rest to keep us weak.

Zombies have a shelf life though. Without the ability to repair their bodies I can't see them lasting more than 5 years, probably a lot less.

One thing we tend to forget about zombies is the weight loss, weight loss will lead to clothes becoming baggy and eventually every zombies pants would fall down further restricting its movement. The human race cannot let itself be wiped out by something that has it's pants around it's ankles.

If someone dies during a zombie apocalypse, tie their shoelaces together

I wonder why though that a zombie "outbreak" seems to be the most feared? Or at least the most talked about?
I talked to a guy once who was studying to become a doctor or something and he said that the closest virus that could even be compared to a "zombie" like symptom would be at best Rabies.
Any takes on this?

its my nightmare especially the fast ones theres just no escaping them.

but if its the slow ones it would be ideal take over a house in the country and stay there far away from the city and towns full of zombies. plenty of farm animals and wildlife to eat. wait it out the zombies have to rot away eventually. but if its the fast ones i just know i wouldnt make it

as for the rabies its a small possibility, id wonder tho could we get a new form of encephalitis or mad cow disease or something like it.

Central mental hospital in Dundrum.

Pros: Secure, huge walls, lots of supplies, generator, well, garden for veg, lots of medical stuff, library, therapy stuff for relaxing to the sound of gnashing outside, cctv, lots of space to park helicopter, big but not uncontrollably so.

Cons: Made to keep people in, not zombies out. And you'd need to clear the place first. Also: no weapon store (I imagine).

Out of the cities- way to dangerous.

A fortified building really close to the sea or river, I think the river is polluted in walking dead so the sea is probs your best option for food source.

Some bikes as someone said earlier, definitely a good idea

Tesco's is a no no, remember the film when a group of trapped inside a shopping centre, it was great for a while, but then they eventually got in- Dawn of the dead, grab supplies and run as far away as possible.

A boat as well, remember 28 days later, they got into the "secure" building.

I was thinking about this in work today, its pretty sad !!

Air Force One. Fly around until the apocalypse blows over.

Any time you need to refuel, land at an abandoned airport and load up. You'd need to have your own elite guard of marines to watch your back while your crew were refuelling.

Kinda like that movie, World War Z.

Haven't seen that movie, sounds interesting..i must watch

Go read the book, it’s so much better and a great read for anyone who likes this thread. Rather than following the one character it’s a guy interviewing people from all over the world who were involved in Zombie outbreak, how it spread, how they survived and how they fought back.

In it a lot of the survivors in Europe barricaded themselves in castles or other ancient fortified positions.

On an island. Zombies can't swim. (I think.)

And you will be joined there by every other starving tom dick. Some of them with guns.


Silly idea.

Mountains. Only reasonably defensible location.

They'd probably try to get the Zombies onto a job bridge scheme to rebuild the economy.

Nah,zombie tax.You'd have to fill in a form stating how many are surrounding your property then pay a tax on them.

I think tech zombies are more likely (think 'The Borg' from Star Trek). It's only a matter of time before humans start having computer implants. Hmmm, actually...we already have implants that give artificial hearing.

Instead of a biological virus that causes zombies, it could be a computer virus. The main difference is that those under the affect of the computer virus could possibly be controlled by their creator. Think of it....a small number of hackers/geeks, each with their own army of intelligent zombified humans!

I think that would drastically change how/where to defend from the zombies. It may not even be possible!
