is your house zombie safe?

pros: 20 minute drive from the mountains, well armed, and errmmm wait a second! What the hell kind of thread is this anyway!?

I've planned carefully for this eventuality.

I live right next to a cemetary - but it has ten metre high walls. So when the zombies start animating, I can hear them scrabbling on the walls, giving me plenty of time to bail out the back - leaving only my complete collection of Buffy DVDs in a prominent position so they will waste time laughing at me rather than chasing.

My cat appears to be fond of dead and decomposing things, so I am training him to move up from mouse heads and bird bodies to human remains, via Whiskas catfood.

I live in a complex where the bottom floor (my floor) is partially beneath the ground and has large windows... zombies will start to clambor at my apartment just because its an easy path to take and they take to the dampness. I own only knives and a compound bow, but I'm skilled with them. I can take out at most 6 with my bow, then I will have to avoid their string-puppet limbs and cut them up with my knife. If they fill the halls and flood through the windows then it will be my destiny to die a warrior's death, brutalizing many a corpse, but eventually succumbing to the fleshy mass (and yes, I do mean the zombies).

I live in a flat that has nothing pro against such invasion. However I can eat zombies and my brain is so loaded that they'd posion to death if they attempted. So no fear over here.

**Sjakihata** · 04-05-2006, 08:16

My building has nothing advantageous for a zombie invasion, however, I've seen plenty of zombie flicks and played Urban Dead so I know how to behave - that's right a shotty and some necrotech equipment

in the middle of nowhere, closest neighber is an old folks home but a cemetary down the street, have a longbow and compound bow which i'm skilled at, various swords and sheilds, lots of stored food, live on second floor with 2 entrances via narrow stairways, lots of furniture for barricade... and i have a ton of lysol to spray down doors...you know, so they can't smell me. plus the summers are hot and winters wicked so there is a good cxhance it will take only a year to wipe um out, and there are food stores and a walmart only 20 minutes away if i steal my moms suburban (zombie squisher

) and most people in the area have shotguns (most are quasi-hicks) and rifles, plus lots of gas and some ready made molotov cocktails...don't ask.

so i'm set

i will stand alone against the zombie hordes

oh oh and there is a horse farm half a mile down the road so it will be the perfect chance to steal that really nice charger they have

and when its all over i will enslave the zombies and teach them to do my bidding

Having encountered many zombies during my life in public transportation, shopping areas and during work, I'd say they're pretty harmless...

If not, there's always the shovel from the shed.

On a related note, I think 'Zombie Instinct' would make a great band name.

As for me, I'm on the first floor of my res hall with fairly secure doors but vulnerable windows, a minimal stockpile of junkfood, and no weapons beyond a hammer and a pocketknife. However, as the RA I could cite the zombies for harassing my residents and have campus patrol escort them off campus.

Nope I am screwed. Only one entrance, and jumping from my window would mean jumping right into the undead hordes. My only weapons are a sword and a baseball-bat, end of frag.

**spmetla** · 04-05-2006, 10:46

Lets see:
Pros:
Lots of swords, knives 1 crossbow 2 hunting bows, one shotgun and a .38 pistol, and a civil war .58 cal enfield and homemade chainmail (yes I'm a dork but apparently well prepared)

The house is wood so fire is a danger but we have a porch/watchtower set up on our roof for viewing the sunset so just close the trapdoor to the lower story and ride out the storm if nessasery

Our Farm is fenced in with hogwire so hopefully they just go after easier targets

Tool bench is near and we can quickly grap chainsaws and axes if we see the zombies approach, laziness has also caused us to stockpile oils, diesel and gasoline so pyro is a weapon and fuel is no problem.

Coffee farming country means a lack of people so few targets, also lots of dogs which would provide amble warning the few neighbors tend to have guns so shooting would alert us to something amiss

A brother dad and friend to help fight and only my mom and 2 hippy neighbors to protect

We have several trucks and one big Dumptruck which could provide the mass and protection needed to drive through thickly infested urban areas

I'm in the national guard so I have body armor and a helmet allowing for some sort of protection against friendly fire, also once we escape the house go to the armory stock up on weapons and then head to my dad's sailboat and use the ocean as a moat or sail to someplace uninfected like japan or australia

Being on a coffee farm we have plenty of caffiene so no sleeping on watch

Cons:
The house is wood, zombies can break through that no problem

A dirt road makes escape slow and dangerous, especially in bad weather or night time

If they get a car traveling up our road escape is blocked until the obstrution is moved

limited food supply and if forced to the roof no food or water

getting to the vehicles might require fighting to them which would be difficult against large numbers

we don't lock our door at night so if sleeping there is no warning

I live on an island so if I can't make it to our boat we'll need to kill all the zombies or die trying

Just so you guys know, my best friend and I as kids loved planning for zombie attacks. If you happen to be driving and it happens go to a gunshop or hardware store then a harbor.

**Lazul** · 04-05-2006, 11:03

If Zombies can climb through windows... im screwed, but I can easily access atleast three axes, one large knife and varius long hard objects, suitable to smash zombie-heads with. The viking in me tells me the axe works best.
