    I would get on a boat with enough fuel, food and equipment and get my but up to the arctic or way north up in Alaska. Zombies are dead, and therefore cannot generate body heat or have enough sense to put on a thermal jacket and would freeze solid before they would ever get to me.
    Polar bears, birds, wolves, sea lions, killer whales and the ice flows would also make quick meals out of them because they would be drawn to the putrid smell of rotting flesh. Up in the arctic animal kingdom, beggers can't be choosers.

    --- Thanks, it's not a bad idea or plot for a movie either. Maybe I should send the idea to George Romero or something, if anyone does decide to use or plagarize on the plot, at least give Sunblynd @ AB a credit for his inginuity.

    I would go to the nearest gun shop, break in, take a couple of pistols and a Semiautomatic rifle. If possible the M16 or the FN F2000 with extra magazine, I would take anything useful in that gun shop, then run to the nearest car dealer then steal myself a car and drive away to a small 2 story house, break into that one, and barricade every single door and window and leave the house and go back to the gun shop and take every usefull weapon including ammo, go back to the house, and shoot any wandering zombies. Then call 911 if they're still alive and have the guts to come.

    I've got my hideout in the Carpathians. I await said zombies. I must protect a select few penises and vaginas, and rebuild humanity.
    I have personnel; fighters, healers, psychologists, scientists, priests and hunters. We CAN survive. And so we shall.

    For it has been decreed by the great George Romero. When there is no more room in Hell, the Dead shall walk the Earth.

    But I am ready. I have thought of everything, which includes super girl scout tactics and methods, as well as the rather illegal acquisition of firepower and medical supplies. I also syphon tanks, choppers and land rovers. Anyone got a mint? Srsly...

    We lie in wait. We fight to live. Join me, and your fruit shall redefine humanity, as it stands.

    i would get my machete, my 3 swords, the 2 pistols, 1 pump action shotgun, one semi auto competition shot gun, a single shot shotgun, that would be sawed off into a shot-pistol ;D (regulation right now of course! =D ) my two 22. cal. rifles, one semi auto, the other a bolt action with a scope, and then my 300 savage with a scope (for distance shots) and get my axe, sledge hammer and crow bar, and all gas cans i have, put them all in my truck, then call all my friends and family, tell them to get all their guns, blunt or melle objects, and get all the gas cans that they have.
    once we are all together and were carpooling, go and break into or just simply go to the nearest gun store and get enough ammo and weapons, take along the gun store employees (theyre good shots), go to the nearest grocery store, steal enough food, 10 gal. - 20 gal. cans for gas and water, and supplies for a good two years.
    once that was done go to a school, steal a school bus or two, tell family and other friends to do the same routine, once there is a fleet of school busses and supplies, go up north destroying any zombie that gets in out way and wait it out in the cold, zombies cant live in cold conditions and if they tried to get up north they would freeze and be unable to move

    I think a jetpack, a flame thrower, and a semi truck of Bacon (cooked) would be a good start..Yeah, a flame thrower fired into a herd of zombies from about 25 ft up,, that would do nicely.

    I'm not mormon so I don't have a years supply of food and water in my house.. I think I'dd attempt to secure my local walmart, it has few exits, weapons, ammo and pleanty of means to grow my own food (if the grocery department fell short). Maybe start some sort of system on the roof to collect water.. It would be tough to secure all the exits though...

    Die. Turn into a zombie. Walk around pointlessly because my brain is sorta dead and get stabbed and shot by a bunch of people who are convinced I'm "after" them because they've seen too many horror movies.

    Sharpen my brothers swords and arm as many people as I can with them. Duel wield if there is enough.

    Find largest nearby vehicle and drive to nearest store to pick up guns, ammo and supplies. Next go to nearby National guard armory. Get military weapons and borrow an APC or two.

    Search for survivors and a defensable location. Hole up in defensable location setting up a base, then gathering as much supplies as possible. While getting supplies, leave notes as the the location of the base for any survivors that may pass by as well as instructions on how we can know your not a zombie, such as carrying a white flag etc. (Zombies can't read) Lay low and wait for winter. I'm hoping the cold will kill them all off.

    Right now, I'm waiting. I don't plan on getting any ammo or guns, I'm planning to beat them senseless with their own arms.

    I was terrified of zombies when I was 9. Now I want some pay back. So let them come.

    Let them be scared that I'm gonna eat THEIR brains

    Stay in the house indefinatly until the attack is over, or the zombies moved on, or the zombies have been wiped out. If they plan to stay, I will snipe as many zombies that walks by my little house/fortress.

    artic is a good idea zombies would freeze and be unable to move since they have no blood to keep them warm theyd stay frozen indefinetly but all the animals you listed wont eat the zombie its in a animals instinct to run away from zombie or at the very least to stay out of there way

    quickly join the army. they always seem to be the ones in the movies who are resonably ok through it all.
    failing that i'd cover myself in super hot chilli sauce in the hope that zombies dislike spicy food.

    The thing about guns and chainsaws is that they eventually run out of ammo/fuel. I'm more of a Katana guy. But that's just me.

    I've been making my home self-sufficient, with solar panels. I should be able to hole up here for quite a while.

    A lot of my strategy depends on whether we get the slow, old-school zombies, or the newer, faster, highly-motivated, Dawn of the Dead remake zombies. I'm hoping for the slow old Romero zombies, but you never know...

    Reenforce windows and entry-points. Shotgun them from windows. Grow plants and food inside. Eventually, try to go from rooftop to rooftop to get to a safer place. Use flaming WD-40 containers to get clumps of em. Use camera flash to temporarily blind them. Set up an electric fence eventually.

    I'd just like to point out how many people do you think are going to raid gun and other weapon and military bases? The zombies who be attracted to the noise of the cars and shoutings and they who have many brains in their stomachs so not good idea. Also do you think that the military have the time to worry about you went their butts are also in danger? As well as that do you have any idea how inaccurate shotguns are?

    Oh god what a great question. Anyone ever read Zombie Survival Guide? :P

    First, I'd gather up all the supplies I could. Take everything we have downstairs upstairs. Then I would fill up as man buckets, pots, pans, bathtubs, etc with water, you don't know when the water is going to turn off. The next thing would be to destroy our stairway. This way the zombies would have no way of getting upstairs. After that I'd go to work sharpening my brother's sword and hope my dad has been hiding a gun from me.

    We miss our girl!

    I made my husband promise me that if we're ever in a situation where the possibility is great that I'm going to die and it's going to be painful and scary, he's to shoot me in the head so I don't have to go through all that. I was thinking more along the lines of being on the Titanic or in The Towering Inferno or something, but a zombie attack would probably be along those lines.

    so many plans. the best one that i can think of, expensive, time consuming, and secretive is this one. if i know about the small outbreaks and i have a suspicion and I'm a rich person.
    1. find a hard to get spot(Rocky Mountains for instance)
    2. buy construction vehicles
    3. build a fortress that is extremely hard to find
    4. stock-pile it with necessities(gas, water, food, things to do when bored, stuff so i don't go insane)
    5. get weapons, lots of it and put it in an armory
    6. make a greenhouse for in case food runs out
    7. make sure i have a source of water
    8. get family, relatives, friends, etc. and go there
    9. hold-out and survive
    P.S. during the time that you are constructing we have to make sure to do it discreetly, not in a way that other people, such as bandits, etc. will know how to find it easily
