    Lightbulb Zombie Apocalypse - Are you ready?!

    So I thought just for fun we'd discuss our plans for a zombie apocalypse and whether you think you would survive or not?!

    Personally I think a zombie apocalypse would be the BEST weight loss plan out there! Rations, no take-aways, walking/running everywhere - how could you NOT loss weight?!?!

    My SO and I are currently having a binge day of the Walking Dead and I have no clue how there are still overweight people after at least 2 years of a zombie apocalypse?!?!

    it would depend on the food you are eating..if you are hunting/gathering and gardening, eating fresh natural food then hell yeah you'll lose weight but if you are scrounging chemical & preservative-laden junk food poisoned with BPA at abandoned stores then not so much. yes i'm a total geek and i've thought out exactly what i'd do lol

    1. Stock up on rifles and ammo
    2. Head for the hills
    3. Set up shelter, water purification system, and defenses
    4. Chillax in the countryside as civilization crumbles

    Wouldn't stress hormones like cortisol cause weight gain... you know... due to all the horrifying zombie stuff?

    But the best anti zombie weapons are swords and axes. Just think of all those calories you'll be burning. Not to mention taking out frustrations.

    The Walking Dead!!!

    My plan for the zombie apocalypse is to find a strong group like Rick's. I'm more of a follower so I'm gonna look for a good leader. Also, I think zombie-proofing my house might work for a while but, it really depends on the speed and level of zombies. If it's the slow Walker-type, I'd rather keep moving around from place to place till I find a safe haven. If we're dealing with fast zombies, forget it! Goodbye, world! I'll just stay inside my zombie-proofed home eating my last can of chocolate pudding.

    It's funny that this thread popped up, because it's Friday the 13th, haha. I used to be obsessed with the Walking Dead. The first 2 seasons were phenomenal. But I stopped watching for some reason. But I still love that show. I need to catch up!

    Supposedly it is completely possible that a zombie virus could exist, or could be engineered. So a zombie apocalypse is theoretically possible, according to my SO who is a zombie nerd, lol - He also plays "Left 4 Dead" all the time.

    I also love the movie "Shaun of the Dead" - fucking hilarious!

    I'd love to live in the woods one day. Also might need duct tape, some strong hemp rope, and plenty of medical supplies.

    Rabies is essentially a zombie disease. For the time being, rabies is transmitted through bites and scratches... or contact with rabies infected saliva to the mouth, nose, or eyes.

    Full blown rabies is 99.9% fatal to humans. There is an exception or two where people have survived due to extreme medical measures being implemented. Beyond that, rabies, if left untreated, makes mamals bitey agressive "zombies".

    If the rabies virus managed to become airborne you'd have a real deal zombie apocalypse on your hands.

    The hormones wouldn't have a more powerful effect than a diet of lower calories in the hunter/gatherer style.

    I think my plan would be to learn survival and hunting skills from a total badass (totally gonna do this before the zombies come), get a group of like minded people with a wide range of skills, then we'd go into the hills in the highlands (I'm from Scotland) and just survive.

    My weapons of choice would be long swords, bow and arrows and axes. Guns are great and all but they'll soon be useless as the ammo runs out. Also I'd learn to ride a horse, so I had a faster form of transport - cause once again cars wouldn't be much use after a while!

    Does anyone else agree that child bearing would totally go out of the window in a zombie apocalypse?! Pregnant women and children would just slow the group down...also the elderly...

    Don't forget about flamethrowers/fire pots. Spears and lances to keep a bit distance between you and their claws.

    I feel like even if my survival skills were kick ass and up to par, I probably wouldn't make it out of my current, super-congested, townhouse-neighborhood-thing. I think there's something like 20+ townhomes on my cul-de-sac alone, and the whole community is basically a maze within a maze. This place would probably be crawling in no time, ahhhhhhh!

    IDK, maybe I'm just paranoid, but when I see how much chaos goes down in the burbs whenever the ZA breaks out in the movies, I can't help but to think it would suck SO much more in living situations where you're living on top of one another.

    If I was able to make it out of this place, I'd start moving westward ASAP. 'Cause fighting off zombies while simultaneously trying to survive the cold ass winter doesn't sound fun at all

    I don't think the cold would slow down zombies at all. Zombies are already dead, and they can't feel anything, including temperature. If anything, the cold would help preserve them more and prevent further decomposition. They would be more stiff, though, with the cold. But it wouldn't slow them down.

    Heat, on the other hand, would cause them to rot faster.

    Oh god I am just now realizing that I am a zombie nerd. It's all my bf's fault. He's done this to me!

    I doubt they are freeze proof as they don't have any body heat. Freezing may not destroy Zombies, but it would stop them until they thawed out in the spring. Fire would destroy them permanently.

    Snow would be terrible in an ZA, firstly it would slow you down and even though it would slow the zombies down more it would also hide them! Those sneaky one with no legs etc would kill a TONNE of people.

    Hmmm need to rethink my sanctuary in the Highlands, thinking I'd try walking/horse riding to Africa - would take a few years but it's perfectly possible!

    It's cliche but I also would try to get to an island. There's probably gonna be fruits, I could fish, make camp fire and if the zombies come, I'd just take my boat and hangout in the ocean. Although, I'm terribly afraid of the deep sea! I just hope it doesn't end up like a "Lost" kind of island. LOL.

    See my first thought was an island but what would you do if food ran out?

    Hmmm... if I'm lucky there 'd be coconut trees around lol. I would try to find soil near me where I can plant seeds, but then that will probably attract wild animals or survivors with hidden agendas (like the Governor's group). I could also do some runs in the city. I'd move to West coast, but then it's terribly overpopulated over there, zombie fest everywhere! And I don't know if I could even make it out of my state alive!

    My other plan is to go to the woods or an island whatever, find myself the highest tree I could find, build myself a treehouse, then figure out how to zombie and bandit-proof it. I'm out of sight and safe.
