Okay. Here's the thing. We would travel along the rural roads in order to avoid high-populated areas. Such as anything like over ten people. Stock up on food, yadda-yadda. We wouldn't go back to any high-population area until everyone in it was either zombified or left or dead. Because fighting over food is the last thing you want to do.

Then, once we'd raided any of the supplies we needed--I won't go into specifics--we'd travel... east. Assuming that none of us were zombified already, we'd use one of the boats no longer owned in a nearby harbor.

Yes, I live in a port town.

Then, easily enough, we'd just cruise along the coast, stopping every now-and-then to procure more supplies. Utmost caution would be used when dealing with the zombies, but because they're slow and ugly, and easily blown away by any of the many shotguns we have and can find more of in a really easy manner, no casualties should occur. Besides, if any of us fall to zombification, putrefaction, or pestilence, as the zombie-process pertains, we'd be promptly shot with no quarrels about it.

We could sleep easy with no guards (relatively speaking--you'd hear humans in a boat coming up) because we'd be out to sea when we sleep.

Eventually, we would make our way out of the Gulf of Mexico and head straight for one of the Caribbean isles. Jamaica, Cuba (prolly not), hopefully, if we can last long enough--straight to the eastern most isles of Puerto Rico.

Since zombies can't fly, swim, or operate boats, and nobody but terrorists would transport them, on one of the many islands, we would be safe. Puerto Rico is relatively small when compared with somewhat-neighbor Cuba, but is by no means tiny. Fishing and using whatever tropical crops we could muster up, we would soon be happy, safe Puerto Ricans.

So, most of our trip, you see, would be safe. We would never have to defend from zombies, ever. Only in our quick-footed, tactical invasions of the shoreline grocery stores, etc., would be be at any risk.

But you bet that those zombies are at a hell of a lot more risk.



NOW THAT THERE'S A CONTINGENCY PLAN. BRAVO.

Hm. You raise an interesting point.

Before I continue to prove your theories wrong, regarding Texas' ability to endure a zombie attack, let me ask you: In this hypothetical apocalypse-of-sorts, where is the source of the outbreak?


This virus is very similar like the ones in Left 4 Dead and WWZ.
It's believed to have come from livestock..

So good luck with your texas beef. My neighbouring province of Alberta is toast.

OmgIisonfiyah: Don't bring with you more than 4 people, five if you have a useful dog.

If you have 8 to 10, food will run out faster, it's hard diving up meals and supplies, and it will be difficult controlling your non-existant plumbing with a lot of people.

Plus with a big number if one of you guys gets something.. [anything from the actual Z virus to your run-of-the-mill case of the runs..xD]
It'll spread quick.

Plus, everyone needs to go out for supplies together, otherwise some people might break off from the group.


Yeah but I said earlier, that I send out like two groups of like 3 or 4 to get supplies, stuff like food, medicines, tools, junk like that, and if you read WWZ then you probably know about the zombie survival guide by the same author, and in that book, which I snagged from my friend who forgot to ask for it back XD, it says that in any crisis you should have an initial group of 3 to 4 people(including yourself) to scout out a base of operations. Now I do realize that I should have put in "Make the place livable" but as for desertion, who in their right mind would run away from a group that offers life's basic necessities, even for a chance to loot, they'd still come back. I should also probably mention that I live in Florida, on Amelia Island, which should have only a small number of zombies, like a few hundred at the most, meaning all we would have to do is survive for like a month or a few weeks, or keep moving around, whichever works better, and who's to say that while we go searching around we won't find any PortaPotties, we could drag that crap back to the base so we don't have to take dumps in a hole somewhere.

I lol'd. That's a good idea, but make sure it's empty first-- or at least don't tip it over before carrying it.

xD Most outhouses are actually built over a hole.. and that's pretty much what a porta potty is. I just thought that was funny though. xD

Yeah but outhouses were made so that we wouldn't have to squat over a hole for 5 minutes, 10 if you have constipation. Anyways back to the subject....How would you possibly survive with only 3 people, yourself and a dog against a horde of, lets just say 536 zombies, how would you fortify your base, how would you get supplies, how would you keep it safe from raiders if you ditch it every few days to get supplies?

More importantly... it takes you five minutes to take a crap? o_O

You'd do it exactly how you would do it with any other amount of people. But four is a good number because there's more room, still enough people to hold down a location, and moving around would be a breeze. With large groups you would bring more attention, summon more hoards and be unable to keep a track of people, inevitably ending in some sort of disaster or loud noise, that we all know zombies love to hoard towards. Plus hopefully you wouldn't be fighting 536 all at once. That's just like walking right into them. Usually infected are scattered about.

A small ground team keeps things quiet, fast and generally easier.
The dog is optional.

I was wondering the SAME thing. Are you like, eternally constipated or something, buddy?

Nope, I just use that as a rough estimate, but if you consider long term survival, that's where more people come into play. But if I were to have to evacuate I'd split my group up and we all go to the safe zone, communications will be kept up with walkie-talkies or two way radios, and people will have to be on guard on all sides at all times to keep from getting discovered.

This is provided that the radios work, and the high frequencies emitted won't attract any zombies. xD

Yeah, but if the radios don't work we can just tweet each other, with our totally awesome phones that we "borrowed" from radio shack . Oh and good luck in finding a guy who will kill thousands of zombies just to get to you and then a thousand more to save your brain and/or flesh from their yucky mouths xd

You know those cool phones you "borrowed" from Radioshack?

They don't have a plan on them, and therefore they will not work.
And I'm pretty sure that the internet won't stay up during a full out zombie apocalypse.
