MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
if it happened where would you go? id go see my pal in plockton,he lives on a hill in the middle of no-where...i may have to divert by the local nick to try and rescue some firearms altho that mite be a bit dangerous
What type of zombies are we talking here? i.e. can they walk underwater?
There's no way I'm giving the location of my secret zombie proof hideout on a public forum. I'll only go as far as to say it is in Wales.
Get back to us when they are found to exist.
Ah, but you can't prove they don't exist. QED.
I'll only go as far as to say it is in Wales.
So....... Your master plan to escape the zombies is based on being in Wales. I might have spotted a flaw here.
I'll be heading down to the nearest caravan park to "borrow" one of those massive American RV's with a genny on board, then heading off to some farm in the middle of no where with a crap tonne of red diesel and potatoes to eat. I'm not going to give the location of said farm, because as nickjb said in different terms - I don't trust you lot and it would defeat the object. But said farm is placed perfectly. *cough* one side is coastal - you only have to defend half of it *cough*
Then with a band of trustworthy people I'll build an iron age fort incorporating the important parts of the farm, with guard towers placed around the edge of our concentric walls.
Then we'll dig a secret tunnel to leave the fort when meat is needed.
We won't rely on finding guns or ammunitions because ammo is finite. We will use swords and spears and rock those zombies old school style.
These things have to be planned. Especially when one is bored.
Get back to us when they are found to exist.
Ah, you have obviously never experienced the delights of Merry Hill. Because then you would [b]know[/b] that they walk amongst us... Or perhaps the other way around.
It's a bit more complicated than that, but I've already said too much.Your master plan to escape the zombies is based on being in Wales.

Is his name Daddy Pig?

We could organise a stw emergency group...ready to mobilise when the event happens...
No he's not a pig...
For some of us it's already too late. They've moved into the neighbourhood and will be popping around for a 'cup of sugar' shortly...... 😯

Makes sense to me tbh- your normal citizen will be shocked to face their first zombie. But someone who's been to Wales, well, they'll be used to it.
Even I've heard of Merry Hill, and I'm a 130 miles away! 😆
But as a Bracknell resident, I too can confirm their existence ~ they've entirely taken over 😥
My tactic is to stay put and pretend I'm one of them.
- go to the gun shop and buy/ steal shotgun and rifle, ammo and grenades
- go to supermarket and get some food
- woo/ kidnap Cheryl Cole
- steal a coach
- round up a coach-load of children/ farm animals
- find nearest clock tower
- place children/ farm animals in bottom of clock tower as bait/ meat/ human shield
- sit at top of clock tower with Cheryl and await my fate
I had quite an intense zombie dream a while back, in which I had to come back to the house to get my bike, gather provisions and find something to use as a weapon.
As they started gathering at the window I started to really panic.
I woke up really shaken before blurting out "where are all the weapons!"
Still makes me chuckle when I think about it.
As for location... there's a school in a rough spot down the road with barbed wire around some pretty high fences....
Zombies you said ...
Firstly, you need Benneli M4 as emergency when there are a group of them.

Secondly, if they are slow moving ones then you need one of this traditional tool ... made some contribution to the hard working people in Nepal.

p/s: I will ordering one of the Khukri next year ...
This place will either be Zombie ground zero or will offer salvation from the horde:
have a listen to 'we're alive' for where not to go (start at the beginning though)..

i reckon the Trafford Centre would work out well - as long as i had a helicopter get away option from the roof
could be surrounded by thousands of zombie mancs though - just like xmas eve shopping then!
DezB - hilarious! (although I wont be able to watch Peppa Pig with the kids without thinking 'zombie attack shelter' from now on). OT but what tyres for getting up that hill? got to have hellishly good traction.
I'm not saying zombies do or don't exist. All I'm saying is I've seen the dead breath. I'm getting out by boat when the zompocalypse comes.
Find this guy. Doubt we'd need to worry about the guns and ammo running out 😀
Already thought of mine, i would head to work with its fenced perimeters, self contained buried buildings, rather large fuel reserves, heli pad, strengthened buildings/barriers, comms. Plus it will attract the services of green uniformed chaps turning up and manning said perimeters to enable the asset to still function and thus ensuring my safety for a time. Also its on raised ground with a nice big comms tower to observe the surrounding land........i may of put too much thought into this 😳
Nation Trust basecamp in High Wray.
Shotgun, corned beef and petrol for the generator.
I'd give it a couple of weeks then set about starting my own religion.

You have seen Dawn of the Dead, haven't you?
Bite me.
I'm with the Zombie Horde - they move at my pace and are obsessed by food.
I'm in.
Would we all adopt bike trailers as a quiet form of transport/luggage carrying away from roads?
can they swim? i don't think its ever been tackled...in 28 days later they just flapped about in the water, even tho they could run extremely fast. why would they keep one and not the other? i reckon they could swim really well, not having to breathe and all....
Idiots, the lot of you, guns are far too noisey, it has to be a crossbow! 😀
Quicker than they used to be...

I hereby challenge any post zombie apocalypse "tribes" who disagree with our amalgamation of the old and the new to 'come at us bro'. We'll use your corpses for something useful like a sandbag wall. See how useful those weapons are when you run out of ammo 😡
After the obligatory acquisition of firearms, hand weapons, bow weapons, everything in the Co-Op I will be heading here:
http://www.historic-scotland.gov.uk/propertyresults/propertyoverview.htm?PropID=PL_189
Right. I've planned this in detail. I know we can't all survive the zombie attack so I'm going out in style, like Will Smith I'll be a 'Legend'. So I'm off back to the quarry I work in. Fill up the portable diesel bowser and attach it to the back of the Komatsu WA480 loading shovel. Grab the welder and get some mesh welded over the windows and some effing great spikes on the bucket then go on a mahoosive zombie killing spree. I could probably take tens of thousands of them out before I run out of fuel. Then when they swamp me after i run out of fuel or washer fluid to keep the blood and gore off the windscreen I'll detonate as much explosive as I can find and take them with me.
DIE ZOMBIE SCUM!!!!!!!

Yep that castle in barra may the ticket.....just screwed if they can swim..it's only 100meters from the jetty 😯
spchantler - Membercan they swim? i don't think its ever been tackled...
In Land of the Dead, the learning zombie figures out that it can walk along the bottom of a river.
SCIENCE FACT.
It's still fortified though, and Barra only has a 1000 or so people on to get Zombied up.
Reckon with the available defences and some fun with a Halberd I could have 'em
Once the Zombies have all had there brains smashed out I'll get to work on a Croft on the island for a long term food supply. Water, food, shelter, fishing from the ramparts. Job done.
Highly trained, experienced humans with in tact brains struggle to attack castles like Barra. Virtually your only chance is breaking the front doors down for which you will need hundreds maybe thousands of men, battering rams and trebuchets. Or you undermine the defences and collapse the mine, or you starve them out.
Zombies can't do those things. They'll just claw at the walls until they manage to climb over, at which point they will have their head well and truly chopped.
Castle is a good bet I think :p
Viewing the documentary World War Z suggests that piling over walls is all in a day's work for your average undead.
On the plus side it's definately triffid proof.

Aye. wouldn't be any fun otherwise. Everyone loves a bit of zombie slaying from time to time?
This is why you select a low population island. To the vast majority of the worlds Zombos you are out of sight and out of mind.
Tbh, I find all this fast and clever Zombie business to be nonsense. They are the dead risen again, decaying rotten corpses looking to satiate the munchies. Fast n clever Zombies are just marketing drivel to get folk into cinemas and has no bearing on reality.
In which case, for most. Survival can be found in a light jog.
The genius (If I do say so myself :p) behind using Mont St. Michel or similar is that you can walk to the castle during certain hours of the day, but when the tide comes in, it REALLY comes in. Fast and with very strong currents.
The hordes of surviving zombies after a days fighting are then washed into the channel, into the Celtic sea and then into the Atlantic, and if they survive that then they're the Americans problem 😆
...I need to stop thinking about this or you'll all see me on the news being restrained.
Walking deads on...good tips they're....
Large numbers of 'Mericans will survive the zombie apocalypse! Why do you think we have so many guns? 😉

Yeah, but it's... pink. I know the SAS started out with pink landrovers and all, but we're talking zombie killing here, you can't be killing zombies in a pink tank.
does say in the ad they will paint it for you.
Good point..I know where theyres a tank close to here..I need to start at list..

Fair enough, didn't read the small print.
One of these would be pretty effective:

Ideally on one of these.

Wow, you lot are screwed. The point of zombies is they are a commentary on the living. The traditional zombie films demonstrate this by having the zombies flock the same places they were programmed to go to when alive (e.g. shopping mall in Dawn of the Dead, the pub in Shaun of the Dead). Given the prevalence of zombie films these days, when dead everyone will head to secluded farms, fortified buildings, military bases, just like they saw in the films they watched when they were alive.
So, while you lot are surrounded by the undead out in the countryside or in your castles, i'm off to a suburban library: nobody went there when alive, so they ain't going to show up when they are dead.

So you're going to bash the ones that do find you to death with books? I hope you find some big ones...
Here's the ticket:
A large portion of Dawn of the Dead was filmed at Monroeville Mall, which is located 7.58 miles from where I live! 8)
So, does that mean that I should buy [i]more[/i] guns and ammo since a zombie magnet is so close by? 😐
Or does that make me safer, since the zombies will head for the mall and leave me alone? 😀
got to be honest ..... im tooled up, food stash ready, bolt hole with polytunnels and massive fuel supply ready an all that but recently i realised my main problem is empathy.... i just know i'll **** it all up saving some fat blokes kids 🙁
Idiots, the lot of you, guns are far too noisey, it has to be a crossbow!
There is an advert on the radio here for archery classes which goes along the lines of "the best weapon for the zombie apocalypse is the bow, silent and deadly, also kick boxing classes as staying in shape is half the battle".
Brings a smile to my face when it hear it anyway!
@CaptJon - BORING
You wont survive in a suburban library, you'll just be snacks for library geeks. Moreover, BORING.
Out of curiosity, are there any Zombie films that involve Castles? Always thought a rural intact castle would be the perfect spot.
Just a quick note, when trying to survive the Zombie apocalypse, it's best to avoid keeping Zombies for research purposes. It tends to go badly.

What about keeping some for... err... sexy time? 😳
A friend wants to know. Apparently.
😯
I think this thread illustrates what cool bunch of guys we really are...not a geek amongst us..
I'm not worried.
I'm a genuine badass.
I imagine in a Zombie Council meeting, the elders will be moaning/mumbling [i]"Eat all of them, apart from the Bovo-Sapien; he's a shit of epic proportions..."[/i]
In an ideal world I'd have a nuclear powered one of these:
And just find remote/frozen places to roam.
In reality I'll probably be zombie food.
