Imagine your self in Ricks position, You wake up 30 days after the world went to hell, Main goal is survival for you and any survivors you find I personally would seek shelter, but IMO you dont want to have your back to a wall or be too exposed where you can get flanked, Zombies are not fast or sneakey, but can easily swarm you in crazy numbers, My plan would be head for the coast Sea air should increase decomposition of the zombies, if they decompose to the point of ligaments rotting they wont be mobile anymore, and significantly weaker to blows from blunt objects Also while on land keeping on beaches will benefit in that the ocean can disguise noise and strong sea smell might cover the scent of fresh meat, and worst case scenario, swim out 30 ft and the zombies will loose you. My main goal would be Finding a medium to large yacht and anchoring like 200ft off shore so i would be a save heaven to rest. eat and most of all sleep Using a boat it will be easy to travel up and down the coast looking for supplies, many beach houses will be stocked with supplies and rich people will have plenty of spare boats if you need a bigger one or more fuel. Fish!! endless supply of food, assuming you are alone or a small group, a couple hours a day fishing will take care of hunger, During winter you can sail south for more ideal climates, Places in the Caribbean will have coconuts growing near the sea so you wont have to venture in land too much, Lastly raiding coast guard ships / bases will get you guns and ammo. Anyone have a Zombie apocalypse plan?

Well if we wanted to go that route *dusts off the old watch* BIG X!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! blast from the past

Why not? You can never be too prepared! Before I was old enough to purchase my own firearms, Knives were my thing. I'd probably find a good place to bunker up. The coastline sounds good until the tropical season begins. With no way to track the weather like we can with NOAA, it would be dangerous to live there. I'd head for Montana or Tennessee, or some other wilderness state and keep within a certain distance of a river. I'll take my more survivable chance of getting flooded, but I'd prefer a mountainous region like the smokies that are very habitable. The river would supply a drinkable water source, along with food. I'd find my self one of those abandoned cabins and fortify it. I might be able to utilize the river for a small electrical source using a water wheel. It would take a while, but while I still had vehicles with fuel, I'd def work on getting some solar panels and attempting a DIY job in all the free time I had. I'd focus on harnessing electricity on the sole fact of food storage. The biggest hazards would be bears and other dangerous wildlife, but at the same time they could be a layer of protection. Territorial animals would attack walkers... and I'll assume animals cannot turn, and if they could, they would not be fast movers. I don't think I'd trust anyone outside of people I knew. If anyone came looking for assistance I'd likely kill them on sight. I'm not going to fall into a trap where someone takes what I have worked hard to put together. "I GOTTA CLEAR!"

out of curiosity, why do you own a combat knife? you have the necessary tools DX. but whats your survival plan ;p Would you stay in the city, suburbs or go feral and live in a forest, would you hold up in a bunker or do what morgan did in episode 1 and board up a house and cover the windows at night? Sledgie: I cant sail, but looking for a large yacht there pretty easy to drive, anything with an engine is pretty strait forward as long as it is fuelled up and doesn't break, the benefit of an ocean, as long as your deep enough you dont have to worry about hitting much ;p Ideally while scouting a coastal area ill find experienced sailors, ideally coastguard who have the same gameplan as me I think if I was in a foresty area, i would find and kill a walker and smash them over the base of a large tree, climb up the tree and tie myself to it to sleep at night, The dead zombie smell should hopefully mask my scent while i sleep and stay stationary. So I dont awake to a horde circling the tree (Zombies have always been my childhood fear, even ST borg scared me as a kid) so often thought of things to survive ;p

My Plan? About sums it up.
