first thing would be, the second i noticed there was a zombie scare, i'd instantly go to a gun store, even if the owner was there, i'd just max out the credit cards, if not obviously i'd load up whatever vehicle i was driving. have enough for my own personal war. i'd want a vehicle that's equiped with solar-power. most movies we've seen that keep going long enough into the future ie resident evil apocalypse, the earth terns all desert style, enough sunlight during the day to charge a good amount of batteries for night cruising too. i'd say a van of some kind, good access to either side of the vehicle if your talking like a nice chevy venture. gun wise, i'd go with a good o-fashioned 22 like someone said earlier, equip it with a flashlight and a lazer sight, we all know that in movies dumb asses never shoot the heads, so lazer sight will help in that department, 2 of them on my sides should do, and maybe another in an ankle harness too. plus maybe one somewhere in my vehicle. one near the back, front door side doors never know where someone will pop out.. a good sawed off 12 gauge shotgun around my back, and a lightweight 22 rifle with a decent sized scope with night fision. def. have some kind of cross bow in my arsenal, once again resident evil pt 3 showed that's a great all around weapon, light weight, easy to pull the arrows out of any head, only thing is reloading is a b***h. also, i might hit a military base or something, get some grenades, and i'd probably load up on alcohol, not for consuming, but for molotov cocktails. def. a good getaway backup plan.as far as places go, i'm down for the cruise ship. more than enough food to survive and with the smaller boat to reach land, seems pretty reasonable for small excursions wherever i dock at. and with cruise boats you can store vehicles in the cargo hold, and some boats you can drive them right in so that's conveniant if you got a swarm behind you, just drive onto the boat and close the hatch.
also a good item to have would be a satelite phone, don't know what good uses it would have, but you never know, and a really good radio. than i'd just wait it out, and i'd be smart so any land excursion, if i did have friends with me, regardless, it would be strip down to show any wounds, none of that homie got hit but doesn't want to show anyone bullshit.
i've had this planned out for a while now, anytime a new zombie type movie comes out, i'm always ready to discuss it with the wife, or whoever else i'm watching it with.
awesome thread by the way.
