        I guess the better question is: why? To what end? Live out some doomer prepper fantasy? The world would be right fucked and you’d be out in the middle of nowhere by yourself which you could do right now without the zombies.

          That’s a really good question. I know “zombie apocalypse” isn’t well defined, but it usually indicates a complete and total destruction of society. Even once the zombies are gone, there’s no civilization to return to. It’s not like a hurricane, where people start to rebuild.

          Considering the post-post-apocalypse, I’m not sure it’s a world I would want to be part of.

          I mean I get that but with solar panels and some MacBooks you could have a good amount of time playing games with friends and fishing. No bills, no job job. Heck I don’t even like fish, or any seafood, but it wouldn’t have to be bad bad. Like it’s not my fantasy per se, I would miss civilization, but it sure beats death and in some ways beats capitalism.

            There is so much empty land in the middle of nowhere. If the goal is to never interact with society again, it is unbelievably easy to achieve.

              Someone owns that land, because we’ve decided every inch of the planet is already owned

              Human habitation is visible from space. There are parts of every government dedicated to just enforcing just this… Go out and try it, people are arrested for tents on this land, let alone homesteads

                Nobody’s looking into space that nobody wants. And people don’t want space that can’t be easily accessed. Win win for you.
                But if you’re determined to remain in US you can buy an acre of land in Alaska for like a thousand bucks, and then you can live there for as long as you want.

          Good questions. I don’t understand why some people are absolutely determined to suffer as much as possible and “live” through the inevitable hellscape that would follow the collapse of society. Just face reality and end it quickly.

        A cabin in the woods when there’s zombies out there? You’d never sleep! I’d take my chances trying to find a compound.

      Depends on zombie. If it’s not magical, how long would city water and power last without human attention? A human can only last so long without supplies and if there are, dense pops are going to be more dangerous than zombies trying to get them. Least in wild it’s more stacked in your favor.

      Yeah it really depends on a lot of factors, exactly what your city / suburb is like, and the nature of the crisis.

      After a week or so of supply problems, a major city would be bereft of food. Unless everyone is dead, there would be a lot of desperate, nutty people.

      On the other hand, as someone who lives in the country, the easy food here would get low to the ground real fucking quick even with just the local population. Like I can catch a feed of fish, trap rabbits, or even shoot a kangaroo, but these food sources would disappear in my area with even just a dozen people actively harvesting them.

      I think that if I’m going to be hungry, I would definitely prefer to be so in the country just because at least you can get away from other people.

    I’m going to assume the zombies are the result of a microbial/viral infection reanimating a cadaver. Those muscles aren’t going to stay functional for long, because the body is dead, systems have stopped etc.

    I’ll just get enough water and canned food to survive a week. Just lock the doors and stay inside until the zombies outside stop moving.

      I would go with 2-3 month, but after first one they shouldn’t be all that dangerous. Zombies don’t work unless they are of magical kind.

    I’d learn to speak zombie. Doesn’t take long, it’s mostly throat noises. And walk like a zombie, just pretend a horse kicked you in the ass yesterday.

        When I order nationally it ships today, arrives tomorrow. When I order from a neighboring country it takes 1 to 2 days longer. Just don’t order from China.

    Get gun, fishing rod and tackle, salt water filters, and those mre buckets bible thumpers are always selling on tv. Go to the marina and steal a keelboat. Dab on all the land lubbers still on shore.

    Well… My health conditions mean that I am unlikely to survive long term after apocalypse. Even if no zombies get me. The first week would be fine, the first month maybe, but I wouldnt be alive to see the second year. I could try to do a camping trip to see if the “apocalypse” passes over quickly. If not, then there is no point trying to plan for long term survival.

      I don’t presume to know your conditions but assuming you need some medicine, maybe you could buy some chemicals and make it yourself? But no sounds like a rough spot, wishing you well

      Is water really a barrier, though? Couldn’t zombies simply walk on the bottom of the lake? It’s not like they need to breathe.

        Walking on the bottom of a deep body of water can make them get stuck very easily, whether in rocks or random junk. They may also have trouble getting back to the surface if they don’t know how to swim

        Crater Lake is the deepest lake in NA, so even if they could make it to the top of the volcano, they’d fall down the inner side and end up at the bottom of the lake.
