I've always thought about the possibility of a zombie outbreak. In the event of something like this happening, what would I do? I'm not a crazy person, I do not think this is gonna happen, but it's a fun thing to imagine. I've decided to post my plan here, in case anyone's interested.
Keep in mind, this guide is meant to use easily accessible items that are found in almost every house, which means NO GUNS. Also, because civilization will be/have falling/fallen apart, these are meant to be items that last and don't need fuel. You won't be finding outlets on your journey.
Transportation:
Bicycle, obviously enough. Cars require fuel, and unless you plan on digging for and refining oil on your journey, I doubt you'll find any. Bicycles are fast, don't require much energy, and you can attach things to them. If you're some kinda genius, you can even use it to generate power as you go along.
What to pack:
1-2 person tent
Backpack - A blanket which is both light and warm, a crank flashlight radio, a hatchet (one of the best zombie killing and firewood chopping devices), as many matches as you can possibly find (for burning bodies and cooking), a variety of nonperishable foods, marshmallows (who doesn't love marshmallows? Quick energy, and a nighttime activity to keep you alert), harmonica (music helps keep you from going insane, you know), rope (for strangling zombies, setting a tripwire alarm system by tying cans or other noisy objects on rope, when the rope is pulled on, the cans move and make noise, a pulley for elevating food to keep it away from bears), and a pocket knife (for cutting out infected wounds)
Ok, that's a big backpack, but who cares.
Your bike should have a water bottle holder. Take a water bottle. Clean water will be scarce, but you might find other things to keep in it.
If you can, use bungie cords to attach a bag containing a coat, an extra pair of clothes, more food, and a sleeping bag.
Try to attach a fishing pole.
Where to go? Somewhere forested. It'll be harder for the zombies to get you there, there'll be wood to make a fire. Try to find a place near an area with fruit trees and a forest that contains wild berries. Also, be near a body of water.
Who to bring? Not a dog. They can be noisy and they eat a lot and really don't help. Bring close friends who you know will pull their weight and not kill you in your sleep. Friends will help you stay sane and can be eaten if there's no other option (kidding, don't eat your friends. Starve together or die alone). It's also important to note that you can get more accomplished with multiple people. You can have a night watch, and have someone chopping firewood and someone hunting or gathering fruits and berries. I'd suggest a 2-4 person group. If you have too many people in one spot, you're easier to find.
Killing zombies? Kill a zombie with a quick hatchet stroke to the neck. Cutting their heads off is the traditional way to kill a zombie. Procede to burn the bodies of zombies. Zombies MIGHT reanimate, like in resident evil, but either way, it's best not to have bodies laying around because of disease. And the stench of the dead might attract other zombies. Realistically, if you're camping in the woods as I suggested, there won't be many zombies, but if you take trips to cities to gather resources, then you'll need to be experienced in killing zombies.
Have more to add? Feel free to add information in the thread.
