    water in the bathtub? sure....all you have to do is boil it if it becomes undrinkable, or use condensation to purify it, condensed water is as clean as rain....scratch that...as clean as can be expected naturally.

    ever see the omega man?? that would probably be the way to go, although those pesky zombies have a way of shambling through any real defenses somehow, or some snot nosed kid ruins the barriers for true love or a dog or something.

    The water method is feasible for a little while, but as was mentioned, you'd have to purify it after any real amount of time. All you have to do is boil the water, put some plastic a bit above it, and channel he water into another container. The water you get it virtually 100% pure!

    Also, w00t! Good to see you again Iri!

    Many thanks Christmas!

    I think the plow that's triangular (if you know what I mean) would be best, because you wouldn't get a build up of zombie bodies in the front that could, and probably would, slow you down, thus creating a higher chance of you dying.

    That's exactly the plow type I meant. However, and regardless, plows have lousy gas milleage so you will invariably die anyway xD

    I'd just grab a chainsaw and ploppy loads of fuel for it and leg it. However, resistance would be futile because, as proven by Dawn of the Dead (is that not the funniest "horror" ever?), no matter where you escape to: there'll be zombies.

    I don't think a snow plow would be a very good choice for me.

    I'd make my way up to LA so I could stand on piles of bodies, crying out in animalistic rage.

    You mean "au contraire"

    If the world were taken over by zombies, I'd definantly lock myself up in my house and board all but one of the windows and both of the doors. I'd use the unboarded window to get in and out of the house when necessary (supplies and whatnot) and I'd always have a weapon on me at all times with plenty of ammunition.

    Anyway, as to zombie logistics (And many other circumstances of civil breakdown).

    DO NOT drink the water. Not without establishing the transmission methods of zombieism, at least - if you confirm that it cannot be transmitted through the water supply then go ahead. Otherwise, you'll need to purify everything before drinking it, unless you get desperate. Your best bet is to stockpile water now, while there's no such risk, and use that until things are clear later.

    Now, a snow plow would depend on your environment. If you're in a snowy place, it's probably not a bad idea, as long as you don't go too fast (You may need to dive off it).

    You know the the only place in the world that won't be affected? The place in The Truman Show. Trumanville? Trumany? Trumasia?

    i think it's called trumania...duh

    :P

    MILF brings up a good point, even bottled water isn't safe unless you know it's not the source!

    What you do depends on the nature of the zombies and your situation:
    1 what are the zombie's phsical capabilities?
    2 how contagious is the zombie virus and how is it transmitted?
    3 do the zombies eventually decompose too much to function? if so how long does it take?
    4 how many of the already dead rise as zombies instead of just rotting?
    5 what is the terrain like?
    6 what are your capabilities and skills?
    7 what weapons and supplies do you have access to?
    8 can you contact help?
    9 are there zombies worldwide or just in your town?
    10 did the authorities/army/general population find out about the zombies in time to make any preperations?

    Zombies make me squeal like a little girl. I got nightmares from Dawn of the Dead, and I screamed during Shaun of the Dead. When I was very little, I had nightmares for months due to watching a Halloween Simpsons which involved zombies.

    So If zombies ever came, Id just scare myself to death xD

    you know, I think about half of us would die before we figured out they were zombies. You'd be walking along when one attacks you and you thought is was some guy trying to play a prank.

    Simply put in the UK you're pretty smurfed, I mean who has guns in the UK? Farmers, the military, police (a small % do) and criminals, Criminals have very little ammo if any so rule them out, left with getting to a farmers house, hoping he isn't a zombie or shooting anyone who approaches and taking his shot gun from his house. Or trying to steal from a secure lockbox in a police station, or going to a military base. Oh and Brittish army assault rifles = no good to lefties as fire it from the left shoulder and get a face full of hot lead and your jaw shattered by the hammer. So lefties try to shoot from the right shoulder or hip that or find an mp5/pistols. Even then in such an event the police are quite possibly going to be well hit by the zombies having first trying to subdue rather than execute. The army well if not doing the same would be in war conditions shooting all who approach.

    Personally I'm ok I reckon, I have 2 swords, both antiques, a short and a Rapier, now a spannish 16/17th century rapier is great and long but no good for slicing off heads leaving me the 10/11th century spatha (yes I own a greek Spatha.) to cut heads off with, which means up close and personal...I'd progress on foot to my mates house, he's damn big and assuming he isn't afflicted by the virus useful. I'd either team up with him or kill him if he is bitten, sorry better to die than be a zombie. I'd then make sure either I or we took the katana's he has in his house, 2 of which are live steel the other 3 are not but I have a whetstone nearby we could give the cold steel a live finish using. (where I live is not called Whetstone without reason the town has a huge whetstone used by 2 armies to sharpen blades 500 years apart or more)

    I'd then somehow steal the nearest 4x4 off road veichle. Whether I would raid a house for the keys or just hotwire it depends on the zombie prescence in my area.

    Next stop would be hereford military base, yes the home of the SAS I figure there would be safer than anywhere else, that or I'd atleast be able to sneak in and find a weapon with a large ammo cache and then leave.

    Though in saying that you'd probably get owned and have to go all the way back to the last time you saved. Aka before you were born.
