Yes zombies.....I've had zombies on my mind recently(mostly because I've reading the zombie survival guide out of boredom)

Zombies have been in our lives ever since the first zombie movie. Now in the movies usually the zombie is an undefeatable foe capable of killing entire families because they have no idea how to kill it.

Nowadays most of modern society have seen zombies movies. We know what to do. Blows to the head, decapitation, and made famous by zombie land the double tap.

But honestly could we survive? Many Americans are obese.... Easy targets can't run and slow on reactions. Europeans, Asians,Arabic, Middle eastern, australian and South Americans. Sorry if I missed any but they seem more likely to survive. Why? They are more isolated in some cases and are more likely to come together if assaulted by zombies.


We have array of weaponry nowadays machine guns, explosives, nukes, and gases like flashbangs, tear gas, and stuff that once breathed in can stop your heart.

Honestly that stuff sounds awesome does it not? What's a zombie gonna do against you when you got a warehouse full of weapons like these. Machine guns tear that zombie apart but if you hit everything else but their head you got a zombie crawling one that may even move so slowly that as you walk by it you get bitten. One single headshot could end this but the machine gun is usually unaccurate what a waste.

Explosives explode and send shrapnel through the weak human flesh a zombie inhabits. Taking of legs and arms. If your lucky you might get a head hit . But most of the time you just get blood on you infected blood that can get into your eyes, mouth, and open wounds guess what your infected. Explosive real help they are.


Ah yes the nuke so strong it engraved peoples body into a building. Why not just nuke these zombies get it over with? Where do you think this will all start? Zombies attacking desert no humans there safe to drop the nuke. Zombies will go to humans who will likely be holed up waiting for help. Would you drop that nuke? Some say for good it will be less casualties but who knows if zombies are already outta there. Maybe the nuke won't even kill them just make them radioactive. Who knows there zombies.

Gases. They kick some asses. Oh wait zombies don't breathe, don't feel, have no heart beating.

Still feel like you can survive? Think you got aim with a machine gun? Think you can drop a nuke kill families? Think you can plant some c4's here and there blow some shit up? Good luck to you my friend.

But wait aren't we forgetting something? A weapon with unlimited ammo?

The all mighty blunt and sharp objects.

Example of some blunts.

Bat- You use that to hit balls no? It's also great against zombie head effectively crushing the skull and brain.

Crowbar- That's a great thing metal can open thing easily. It's beautiful.

But they have their weaknesses

Some may be to heavy, short, and may break easily.

Sharp objects

Machete- A simple weapon able to cut through foliage, necks, and the occasional brain. It's a great weapon.

Katana-Asian made. There was a secret society in japan who trained in killing unknown beings. They only killed these foes by decapitation. A young priest wrote about one who was converted and told the priest of their training. The next day they found the man dead the next day. Their main weapon was the Katana. Able to cut through a head like a butterknife through butter.

Sharp weapons have their weaknesses as any weapon does.

Can get stuck in the zombie.

Hard to maintain if you don't know how to sharpen it or treat it right.

If you get in close quarters you won't get that full swing and can be overwhelmed.

Most likely need special training with these weapons. I mean honestly do you think you can decapitate at will? Get over yourself man/woman

That's all I have for right now....

Can you survive?

Or even thrive in the zombie apocalypse?


Can you survive the zombie outbreak?

Funny, my school's doing a fake zombie apocalypse to figure out this same thing.

I think I could survive for a fair amount of time, at least until I need to go get supplies, in which case I'd end up being surrounded, and I'd turn around to find that my group's already been infected.

I can barely survive my everyday life. Throw zombies into the mix and I'm dead as a 90 year old penis.

Maybe your everyday life isn't the right life. Maybe the zombie life is for you. Bit than you might be as dead 90 year old penis.

lmao zombie invasions haha. Yeah sure, like that's a challenge. Now Viking Zombie Invasions? That's a fucking challenge

If Night of the Living Dead has taught me anything it’s to learn to work together. If Resident Evil has taught me anything is that you point up with your Shotgun and blow there heads off. If Dawn of the Dead has taught me anything you’re not safe where ever you are.

But would I survive probably... Once the Apocalypse is here all bets are off and once your bit just kill them right away. No time to get emotional once you see your dead brother Johnny barging through the door grabbing you. But it would give me a reason to say, “We got this man. We got this by the ass!”

It depends if its Romero’s slow walking zombies. Than survival is pretty easy. But if they are the more modern fast and aggressive zombies i’d say NO lol.

I think I would be too depressed to go on in that world.

It only takes one mistake to die.

I don't think I'd flawlessly survive an entire apocalypse.

A zombie invasion would be quelled in about a week tops with minimal casualties.

There's been too many zombie movies for people to not know how to deal with it by now.

Not to mention the fact that it's easy to stop zombies of all kinds, even if they're the running variation; there are just too many variables that films ignore that would factor in favour of the living beating out the zombies.
If the world's ever going to end, it definitely will not be from a zombie apocalypse.

Given that the fatties are usually the first to go in one of these, at least I'll make someone a decent meal.
Edit: If I lived in America, I'd probably be able to survive a little longer for two reasons.
a) I'm not (as) fat by American standards
b) You can buy guns in America.

Yeah, I'd survive. Military training and my skills as an EMT give me a gigantic advantage over most people. I actually own and can use firearms effectively. I can treat injuries on myself and others. I'm also extremely well conditioned physically.

Got this shit son!

You know, if there really was a zombie invasion, I'd probably go on a huge search for Mark Wahlberg, and when I find him, I kidnap him.

Then I tie him up, bring him to the roof of a building, and tell him I'll throw him down to the zombies if he didn't have sex with me.



...Well, I better get started!

I'd like to think I would, but I think if you figure you're doing great that's when you'll get swarmed or bitten.
I've always thought it'd be fun if it happened for like a weekend just randomly, zombie outbreak, then after the weekend was up there's a flash of light then all's back to normal like it was only a dream..lol
I'd hold up at Home Depot or any other hardware store, but HD prefered due to lack of windows. You could use the lumber they have to board the hell out of everything, grab nailguns and chainsaws for a weapon, they all have some form of food outlet in the location (just bring it all in to where there's fridges and freezers you can plug in. And if all else fails, make sure you get some of the sheds put up on the roof to protect you from the elements should you have to retreat there. Oh and bring a ladder up there in case you're gonna have to relocate at some point (Food will only last for so long).
That's my action plan just for kicks.
