How would you prepare for the end of the world?

I run the risk of having zombies fall into lakes up north and getting stuck there forever (I'm not going down there!) -- good point.

I'd still head up north because there's less humans liable to go there.

Thanks to Max Brooks everyone's going to go north when the zombies attack. To get away from them safely you need to go really north, as in, to well within the arctic circle north. Zombies are preserved in the cold, but they freeze up pretty easily as well, so it's incredibly unlikely that they'll get too far north.

The closest thing to a zombie in real life would be a resident evil T/G/etc virus (and I am not sure of the scientific possibility of such a thing). Such zombies would die in the north, but would be very dangerous indeed.

In such a situation I would run like a mofo far up north. Further than you can go (I have a head start, being in Canda)
