How would you survive a Walking Dead apocalypse?

>>2806458 (OP)
By fucking your mom.

>>2806458 (OP)
Patagonia

>>2806458 (OP)
Most likely I wouldn't, like 85% of the population.
Also, realistically, zombies would stop being a problem after 1-2 years, s they would all rot off and at that point it would mean just going through a second medieval period for most of the survivors bent on rebuilding civilization

>>2806458 (OP)
steal a sailboat or something. zombies, like their overly pigmented kin cannot swim.

>>2806458 (OP)
I dunno. What's this got to do with /out/ tbdesu.

>>2806458 (OP)
I'd be fine. Realistically you'd just need to wait a month or so for the military to clean it up. A couple of stadium speakers in the middle of nowhere blasting as loud as they can would draw a pretty big crowd. Then you just need to shell the area with napalm or even just high explosive.
Now if it was a left 4 dead apocalypse I'd be fucked.

>>2806483
>Also, realistically, zombies would stop being a problem after 1-2 years
Mortality rates are incredibly high and everyone that dies becomes a walker, so they outnumber the living 5,000 to one, but they never age, or grow tired, or succumb to illness or the elements. Realistically zombies would not even exist, but in-universe zombies don't decay. They can only be killed by trauma to the brain. Rebuilding would be difficult, and larger countries like the US would take centuries to recover. Hostile survivor groups aside, the zombies are known to eat other mammals we depend on for survival. The livestock and game populations would plummet, and the longer you took to organize and finally wipe the fuckers out, the worse things would get. Our energy infrastructure gone, beasts of burden either dead or highly contested. Global supply chains rekt. There'd be limited access to meat, fur, and leather. This would set humanity thousands of years back.

>>2806485
>What does survivalism have to do with /out/

>>2806491
>in universe zombies don't decay
Yeah they fucking do. You see one in a decayed state in the first fucking episode. The comics also have a plot point about using the decaying zombies as a fuel source as they give off a gas as they decay.

>>2806492
Good question. IDK either.

>>2806494
Inawoods larping is why /out/ exists

>>2806495
That's kinda disappointing.

>>2806493
You havs to shoot them in the head or they keep coming

>>2806497
Incorrect. To kill them you need to destroy the brain. However it's a hell of a lot easier to just cripple them. One severed spinal column can easily turn them paraplegic. Failing that, they can't walk without legs.

It's way easier to shoot or bludgeon it in the head until it stops moving

it would be nice to test this out with live husk, I just want to increase my attack speed.

>>2806458 (OP)
Welp
, lemme tell ya.
First get to low population areas.
If you are in a low population area, you may have to get rid of other blues trying to escape the cities.
But hopefully it won't come to that right away.
All the weakest will die off quickly.
The way out people will last longer.
Also I'd say move to the great deserts.
Dead shits will dry out in areas where it's over a hundred degrees 7 months out of the year and 8 inches of rain average.
Everything dies in the desert. Even the dead things.

>>2806458 (OP)
One thing that irks me in the show is when I see them walking around with a backpack but not using the hip belt. Anyone who’s worn a backpack will use the hip belt unless they’re legitimately retarded. Also the fat chick, Denise. Just her existence was bad enough; how in the holy hell would anyone be fat?

>>2806525
the idea of reactionary superstitious yokels having the foresight and education levels to survive sequestered from society long term is very funny to me, particularly in a desert. you're very humorous.

No, that's Westworld. Walking Dead is a zombie apocalypse story, and it's as cynical as can be. Horses would be a fantastic asset but humans and animals would have to rest eventually. Zombies don't, and even if you survived the zombies you might get your shit stolen by raiders

>>2806513

none of those rotten pieces of walking meat can chew over my chainmail. A fully alive human couldnt and a retard with rotting teeth and jaws couldnt either

>>2807012
No offense my guy but how would chainmail help you if you get swarmed? Like cockroaches they'll find a way through your clothes to your flesh. Plus chainmail doesn't absorb kinetic energy, you will still get hurt and your skin will break at some point due to the bites, presupposing that you covered 100% of your body in chainmail.

So no my dude you won't survive the zombie apocalypse.

>>2806458 (OP)
I'd try to get as mobile as possible, living in the countryside and avoiding big cities. Though to be perfectly honest it is all a game of luck, most of us would not make it.

Plan B:
Go to the mountains. The zombies are shit climbers in general (It's only shown once in season 1 as far as I know) and lack climbing gear entirely.

Basically have a camp with a decent view of the approachable areas and then have a retreat which I can climb up to if things get bad.

Go down into the valley once a week to get food or fish in the headwaters and spend the rest of the time in austere conditions to avoid humans. I'd stay there maybe 6 months until everyone starved to death.

I know for 100% certain I can survive 8 months from fishing headwaters (have done it actually for real when I was homeless)

Plan A: My town (900 people) can only be accessed by crossing rivers so destroy the bridges, fortify along the rivers and rally the citizenry. Make blockades/checkpoints all that good stuff. Rural area so lots of people have the skills/tools/firearms/etc and everyone knows one another already. Large communal field in the center of town would be turned into a farm in addition to the gardens most people keep + the existing cattle farms in the area

There is a a 180-kW hydro electric dam right in town so it's very possible the town itself would stay standing purely for the proximity of all this infrastructure (the communal field is 400 feet from the dam)

There is a 900 kw dam about 5 miles away as well. Lots of fish in that reservoir.

This would really be Plan A but I'm not sure how possible it would be (destroying bridges during a refugee crisis may not be accomplished fast enough) so I think planning on Plan B makes way more sense.

The real danger would be the refugees fleeing the major cities. They'd strip the land like locust. There isnt enough food for all the people in the cities without industrialized farming. Their desperation would be immense. They would rob houses and kill livestock/pets for food.

Eventually the majority of them would die of starvation and things would return to relatively normal around my area.

Day Hiker here, I need clean running water, flushable toilets, fridge and freezer, and the possibility of falling asleep with someone in our old age without one of us waking up to eat the other alive. If Walking Dead zombies are real I would binge on carbs and then kill myself, I'm in Canada so it'll probably be really easy to find some fenta pills.

>>2806483
I think zombies will stop being a problem within days, people used to believe in vampires because the teeth looks longer sometime after death because the gums receded -- which would makes the teeth more fragile. Max Brooks don't rot as fast as normal bodies because the virus makes the flesh poisonous to animals and bacteria, but well, they are still dead so they don't heal, don't produce tears, new blood or saliva. Think about people who broke their teeth on walnuts or unpopped corn -- now think about what a pair of jeans will do to teeth in a dry mouth -- heck, methheads lose their teeth because of dry mouth. Raw meat in itself is tougher to cut through than cooked meat chewing would wear down the jaw muscle too.

I feel like any zombie encounter /out/doors should be crawlers because even healthy /fit/ can break all kinds of limbs hiking unpaved roads at night with no light..That iconic 28 Weeks Later scene where Don was chased by a bunch of infected running in a line across the hilly English countryside is just so stupidly impossible, the infected shouldn't be able to run with broken limbs from stepping into rabbit holes or rolling down hill smack into a stone hedge wall. Countyside should also have a lot of fences for keeping grazing animals in or out, usually these fences have a gate that everybody can open with the expectation that it's closed after they past,

Kek, you think zombies will impact game populations? Next time you go hunting, find a 30 iq retard to not give a gun to and let me know how it goes. The main impact to game populations will be the absence of cars, and the accompanying return of predators

Wild animals have to rest, zombies do not. Though fish and flying birds should largely be spared

Zombiebros we're so back

>>2813762
Except that wild animals that are regular food to me and my local hundred mile radius, are very fast and already have intact ecosystems and predators included.
Zombs can chase, but will get quickly left behind in rocks and thickets. Zombs will trip and fall breaking ankles and legs and hands and arms, walking into hard thorny shrubs, get blinded by hard sticks at head height poking their eyes out, getting tangled in brush with branches like razorwire and thin iron rebar or walking off cliffs and splitting their skulls open or just getting wedged upside down somewhere.
The native wild animals spending their whole lives running through obstacles and thickets, up and down the flats and rocky hellscapes up and down.

>>2806458 (OP)
>How would you survive a Walking Dead apocalypse?

It's simple logistics:
Store food - 600 lbs per person per year of dry goods (average)
So lets just be reasonable and go for 6 months for starters
Of course I have 6 people to save, so that's 1800 lbs of buckets of beans and rice in my garage. (I would like to have the full two tons but the wife is already going to have me committed. Grok is wonderful for calculating all of this, including cost and space)

Then just hunker down and keep a low profile and wait for everyone, zombie or otherwise, to starve to death. +95% of the humans will be gone after 3 months tops. The zombies will take longer.

But then you have the real problem: long term survival. I have to look at the biological carrying capacity in my region for wild homo sapiens. In my instance farming is not a great option, Central Oregon (Bend).

Grok is excellent for calculating this: # dear / sq mile, # elk, rabbit, trout, etc. Only harvest 10% per year. Factor in 4 months of snow. Calories per killed critter? Annual calories to feed a human?

Out of a current population of 100,000 people, Grok figured a carrying capacity of 75 to 175 humans, which tracks with the number of Paiute Indians here prior to 1880. (and this is before you count on 100,000 people eating all the deer before starving to death anyway)

So only 1 in 1000 would have a slim hope of surviving.

It would be pretty fucking tough here. Currently learning to become Jeremiah Johnson.

> Then just hunker down and keep a low profile and wait for everyone, zombie or otherwise, to starve to death. +95% of the humans will be gone after 3 months tops. The zombies will take longer.

Zombies in TWD Universe can't decompose or starve to death.

It's not very realistic, but it's a plot point.

Yes 95% die in TWD also, it's basically the story of the last 5%

Yep. Set punji stick traps everywhere you think.
And trip wires. Doesn't have to have a bomb, just the wire to trip zombs walking anywhere.
Do zombs have the brain power to remember how to get up off the ground back into a standing into walking position? Probably at least 80% of gross obese American are too fat and out of shape to get back up without assistance or calling 911..
Get a shovel and dig some gopher holes big enough to twist persons foot and ankle. I do this ever so often around my outside fence area to discourage people walking around fence at night or day- or making trails near property (methheads, like to wander around stealing odd items they can see in yard. Somebody walked off with my old garden wagon I had since 90s, beat up, rusty just used to take trash to dumpster n such. Gone. Other neighbors say they have noticed things like that missing also.)
I was out walking a two mile hike to local store and found a dead big cow getting stinky not all the way rotten dead maybe a week right on trail.
It's legs got tangled in barbwire and fell on side, just laid there till it got weak and died.

What does your question have to do with OP's prompt?

>>2807010
A drug induced zombie apocalypse would be an interesting take

>>2806748
Good question.. so zombigs don't need rest.
So how does any of the WD zomgies get their energy to move. Whatever else they are, they are still just basic muscle and skin attached to a bone skeleton frame.
Muscles require energy and blood pumping in and out to keep working, otherwise muscles atrophy, tear, shrink, turn to rotten silly string, pull off from bones and tendons.
And this is asking also-- how do zombie actually hear anything? Like some dink accidentally steps on a tiny piece of broken glass or twig and all the zombie for a mile around start to center in on source.
Yet the walking zombs probably make more noise stumbling around than any living trying to be silent and watching their steps.
Same for zombie having eyesight without a circulation system for fluids. The eyeballs would dry out in hours. In a week the surface lenses of eye would be like greasy cardboard and impossible to see through enough to even tell is it was day or night.

>One day of hunting / fishing per week

Lmao. Pretty much your only worry long-term will be food, but you'll have to be on it every day to not lose a ton of weight.
Climbing would be an easy workaround, but going all the way up a mountain sounds like a good way to burn a bunch of energy for zero benefit. Ideally you DON'T want a commanding view of the area, because that means you're easy to spot. You want a little camp tucked inbetween two hills that you can't see from around you, and then you just build a rudimentary log shelter on stilts - they can't climb up it and you can poke at them from above with a long sharpened pole, or just drop rocks on their head.

People don't realize that an elevated area + long pole beats 99% of zombie apocalypses, you don't have to go to a mountaintop. The mountaintop makes sense to avoid people, not to avoid zombies, and it would be viable if you could manage to kill 1 deer every other week.

>>2814862
>95% die
That would mean that each person would only need to kill 20 zombies to beat them all, that's not even a threat at that point. At absolute worst it would have to be 1%, but likely .1%, for the "overwhelming numbers" to actually matter. Without running zombies there's no threat at all to anyone, and it's just a test of stamina, and I can poke a pointy stick 100 times effortlessly, or 1,000 times with a little effort, but I would be tired if asked to do 10,000. It would literally have to be 1 in 10,000 people, 1 in 20 is not nearly enough for the zombies to ever be a threat without runners.

>>2817811
Same scenario, different time-line, ours.
The ancient "puebloians" aka ancestors of modern tewa-towa-tawa-hopi-zuni Indians of Northern Arizona and New Mexico, must have faced similar circumstances in a way.
Their ancient rock stack walls built into nearly sheer cliff faces above the desert floors were a survival tactic against who?
Of course their neighbors. Maybe a invading group of raiders who steal, murder and enslave without a second thought?
The above plus having cannibalism as feature of their culture.
We are never far from our ancient lessons.

>>2806458 (OP)
Just stay in my house for a month after covering all the windows with bedsheets and barricading it with the random bullshit in my garage while eating my emergency food and shitposting here as they waste away from the elements, people hunting them down, and starving.
I have water but to be safe I'd fill up the bathtub and every container I have with water in case the it stops flowing through the tap and out of risk of contamination as the virus spreads.
The zombies from the initial outbreak will have came and passed through my neighborhood relatively quickly after finding no food and fencing that blocks them from entering any of the houses and yards in my neighborhood but make it really easy for them to LEAVE the neighborhood in search of food
Anyone in my neighborhood who isn't prepared would likely go run and get supplies and die because of blocked streets and crowds of people looting stores making it a prime place for a zombie outbreak to spread quick.
Not to be a stick in the mud but these situations are only possible in places like highly dense cities in large crowds where you can't get away like the subway and 10 minutes in we'd be getting reports all over social media of zombies since this isn't a world where we act dumb and just assume its just some weird crackhead and anyone with a weapon who sees it spreading will likely take a swing at it or run away, making sure nobody else gets infected by warning them.
Even if they could run it still wouldn't leave the city it started in
The national guard, the police, and the military would have killed them all in the timeframe of a zombie movie
Pretty much the only people who would die are the very sick, old, and weak who wouldn't be able to escape a zombie slowly walking to you

If they can't starve then they'd likely would have passed through a long time ago but the decay from the show makes it clear that these things would weigh very little and be brittle.
It would be like killing a newborn baby so unless you have a mega cluster of them in front of you there is no real danger

Surviving the zombies is the (relatively) easy part. They're slow, can't climb well, and are easily distracted. Once cleared, any decently constructed concrete building with the first level stairs taken out would be secure. Harvest some ladders and use them to get in and out as needed. They are distracted by/drawn to noise so anything can draw them away as you go in and out. Throw a bottle or two out the window. A sling shot and some fireworks. If you're handy, rig up a horn or something on a roof a few blocks away that you can remotely control ... Making noise is easy.

The real problem, and that which the show is really about, is that the real threat is other people. The 'walking dead' are the survivors, not the zombies. They are all just waiting to die and turn. Surviving against other survivors is the real challenge. Whatever you can think up, someone can think of a way to defeat it. A well defended community of resourceful people you trust is really the only chance for long term survival.

This and that's really the appeal of the zombie shit in media. It's not about the zombies but social collapse amongst the people who are left. Ironically in our incredibly divided society the zombies would win easily.

Those are great for a one off charge, but you’d have to keep going back for more lances. You’d want a cavalry saber.

what the fuc do you mean survive? I don't want to exist in that kind of scenario. I'll blow my brains before they get eaten, no way im suffering through any of that shit.

remember kids: sometimes the best move is not to play!

Oh, shit...
Anon, you've turned into one of them...a normie. We might have to shoot you in the head.

To be honest, I too have been more excited with this kind of stuff.
This stuff, prepping, post apocalyptic shit, I guess I've lost the will to live, even in escapist fantasies.

>Isn't the whole point of the show that the zombies are not actually the real thread but humans are?
That's the point of the whole genre.
Even the stuff with the most dangerous zombies (probably 28 days later, I'd guess) the point is still that other humans will fuck you over and fuck you up faster than the fucking Zs.

One deer every month or more if you render it right.
Jerky the deer meats. Save all fats from everything you eat and don't eat. Fat is high calorie and mix it with berries, roots, seeds, salts. Mash it and bake it lightly to remove moisture and it's travel food.
Put dry mash cakes or cookies in a little pot or cup of water and you have energy soup.
Mix a little with water and you got a power juice.
Catch little animals like birds and woodrats, grasshoppers to make a protein to make more mash like the Native ancestors. They toss the roasted rat in stone or wood pestle after it's cooked and mash the whole thing. Burn off hairs and it's bugs and mash it bones and all to make meaty paste with calcium and protein.

>Global supply chains rekt. There'd be limited access to meat, fur, and leather. This would set humanity thousands of years back.
We'd mostly be set back to pre-industrialization (and that's not all bad) but what you're forgetting is that if there are a decent number of human survivors we can bootstrap to get redevelop much faster than people living in pre-industrial times took to actually industrialize. The knowledge still exists in people's heads, in books, in some digital archives that can still be accessed, etc. That being said the greatest challenge will be being set back socially to a state of anarchy, total power vacuum, meaning there will potentially be tribal warfare between groups of survivors for a long time before something resembling stability is reached.

Worse than that. Most modern farmers no longer know how to produce food without pesticides and massive amounts of synthetic fertilizer. You don't want to know how many "farmers" I've seen that ruined their gardens from spreading fresh manure, for example. Same with hunters, how many can preserve meat on the spot without having access to cooling? How many people, whether hunters or butchers, can still spot trichines with a razor, instead of requiring enzymatic digestion and a microscope? How many lumberjacks (or peolpe in general) can safely fell a tree with nothing but an axe or a handsaw? Hell, how many people even own suitable axes or saws in the first place?

I've been doing a lot of stuff by hand since a couple of years ago, and the sad truth is that way too much knowledge has been lost. When I worked based on books and what "experts" (farmers, hunters, professors at uni etc) told me, I failed about 80% of the time. Using my own intelligence and theoretical understanding (and, not trying to toot my own horn, with ~180IQ and a chem / bio / mech engineering degree, that's more than most have), I still only succeeded around 50% of the time at first. Sometimes I failed from bad luck, sometimes from not understanding things (in those cases, the 2nd try worked most times), but most often, I simply couldn't get the right tools or materials. For example, it's damn near impossible to get a proper hoe, the ones stores sell are all too light and with shafts that are too short, meaning they exhaust you quickly and give back pain. Where with a proper hoe, I can work my small fields as fast as with a tractor (due to how often the tractor has to turn), with a hardwarestore hoe, it takes me five times longer.

Water is the critical issue and in urban areas, it soon runs dry when pumps no longer fill the local water tower. Plus, all the food in that pic not only requires water but also heat.

If possible, it's best have your own independent source of water.

I would suggest a series of doorbells and surveillance cameras mounted on telephone poles radiating out and away from your fortified compound.

When a zombie is sighted on the camera, ring the doorbell on the next telephone pole away from that location and when the zombie shuffles along to that one, ring the next one and so on until you lead the zombie away like the pied piper.

The surveillance cameras are also good for spotting bandits skulking around.

That because despite bikes being totally practical and useful in that type of situation, everybody looks like a dork when riding a bike.

just wax your chain bro

to answer OP: i'd prolly just kill myself because zombies are disgusting and i think zombie-related media are made for retards. case in point, one time i came across some pseudo-intellectual "author" who wrote a trilogy of interracial lesbian zombie porn. this is his bio:
>Terry Kattleman, a native New Yorker and a longtime writer/editor, was most recently on the staff of the esteemed literary magazine Confrontation. He calls the Death Palette Zombie Trilogy and Post-Trilogy "power pulp for disembrained heart-minds," and announces with an Ubuesque flourish: "Rrose from the dead, c'est la vie. We are the Duchampians of the world." The text's connection to the work of Marcel Duchamp, however, is best noted in the unassuming comic-bookish covers of the series, which are in fact based closely on Duchamp paintings—surely a first in the world of zombie entertainment.
