Never go into a survival situation without the proper training. If you eat berries that make you shit too much, you'll get dehydrated and die.

Don't forget that you'd need to kill. So if you're soft(like me) and can't kill, you're probably going to starve to death if you don't know what plants to eat and which are dangerous.

This Cactus:
I will act like one of them :3

·UηİŦ··:
I don't really have a plan.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)Anywhere I go, zombies.

Anywhere I do go, there will be people who either want to raid me, shoot me, or any other misc motive they have in mind.

They might of already boarded up the place.

They might have blown it up.

They might snap and think it right to shoot everyone who isn't a zombie to 'put them out of their misery'.

So, if case of zombies, I'm winging it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)I just honestly don't give a damn about -myself-, especially if the world resets into 'Flight or Fight'. I'm not worth crying over, my problems don't mean the end of the world, I won't miss anything really, and not having a computer or Ipod, or even a phone will make me want to shoot myself. I don't know... I just don't see my actual self and it's wants/necessities relative.

It's not imperative for me to survive, the universe doesn't suddenly explode (I hope not). So all I'm focused on is the reality and the outside world, what my senses are painting for me.

So I'll have fun as long as I would be there.

So really, I don't mind if zombies become fact. It's just another thing to do.

Just give me my arms and legs, and my eyes, etc. I'll solve the zambie level or die having tried to play the game.

Don't mind if I get bit, either. Just shoot me. I guess.

I'll go my own way. Find a maybeshelter, maybe a vehicle to camp in, maybe just walk the road.

maybe dig a hole and make a small trench fort out of salvaged supplies or something, a shed

Or go all out and run around the infected streets nonstop, because.

Depends on the scenario. Maybe I get a good coin flip and end up securing a small area with supplies by myself, maybe with people I know I can trust.

Either way, there's no real plan. Just rules, or guidelines to follow.

It's not that I don't want people to be with me, either. I just think it's really the best bet. You might need help sometimes, but you don't have to worry about waiting for someone who fell behind.

Or an extra mouth.

Or extra weight.

Or mental issues and coming to terms with the new situation.

I'm very confident that, once it becomes an actual necessity to smash a human corpse in two while it stoop upright like a person/kill a person with a virus, I won't have a significant problem.

Might stand in front of their corpse for a bit, say sorry, I don't know. Might feel bad the very first time, but that would become more and more temporary as it became routine. I could turn that part of me off if I really had to.

I won't ever relish or encourage the action, though. If the zombies are the latter, it's straight up murder. That shouldn't become something you do every other day for fun.

But it'd become a fact of life until it didn't have to be that way (if virus subsided/zambies died off).


That being said, I might like to sneak off than go in ablaze.

I'll never push myself more than I have to. Or need to. I'd rather stay with the zombies and then leave later with a sated hunger and sharp mind than jog with an empty stomach and headache.



I'll carry light. No firearms on me though, so eventually my hands will be upon a dead man's gun, and I'll be looking down the sights.

In terms of what skills I'd have, I'm generally educated with basic CPR/AED training as well as a generalist (and I just fucking love to overcomplicate things), so 75% of the time I'll be able to figure out a way to solve the issue... or tissue... or broken bone. Not absolutely godsend "I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING", but I'll be wise enough/clever enough/educated guess-enough to apply a splint or dress the wound with alcohol, clean it, bandage it, immobilize sprained or disjointed things, etc.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)Delivering a baby is a whole other thing. I have enough faith in myself in knowing what to do, I've been shown a lot of things about birth, told a lot of things. The fact is, the mother could die. It won't be a hospital (maybe it could be, but with no staff...).

Childbirth is deadly for both the babby and the mother. Twisted arms, wrapped umbilical cords, Lots of blood loss if things tend to happen as they always do.

And how do we feed it?

Do you really want to raise a child in a place like that, even?

If I deliver a child, it's likely that it will be my responsibility, as the mother may not be around, the father might not want it, father might be dead or may not be there at all. The sibling, if one, could be too young or incapable of dealing with the scenario.

That's a lot to ask for...

I could never justify mercy killing a baby. Never. Not ever. So I guess I'd end up taking care of it.
And I won't ever get too up close and personal with zombies. Fighting is one thing, fighting and getting bit is basically suicide by zombie.

No.

I might not give a damn, but that's still pretty senseless. Especially if people rely on me at the moment it could happen, suppose someone does decide to add me to their little happy group.

A studying engineer, I like to take things apart sometimes. I'd probably maybe (do) know how to hotwire a car, or take apart an engine for misc reasons. And practice that, as it might be a necessity.

Combustible engines do have Lubricant, Shafts, Belts, Spark Plugs... a lot of things, really. It'll be hard to get them out, especially because engines weight A TON, but hey. If it's there. (I'd rather have a 'cold' spark plug hooked up to some source of power to light things 'naturally')

It'd be really damn hard for me to make a generator, though. Unlikely. So electricity is almost a no-no besides car batteries, portable generators I could 'steal', and hydro dams probably already taken over.

Not feasible, not worth it, I doubt I have/would find the right electrical components or even the tools to make one/time to forge one out of something common, with inefficient power output. And the possible amount of concentration one would need vs the zombies banging on your door.

But keep in mind, books and libraries may still exist if not blown to hell. I'll visit one, and ask for books rather than ask to come inside if it's fortified. Anything you don't know, you could possibly learn later.

Food isn't an issue. I'll eat anything and suffer the consequences, if it doesn't kill me or irradiate my insides.

Even grass, trees, unripe fruit, maybe even straight vitamins and supplements. Whatever. nutritional content vs "Eww this tastes awful". But... I won't just go ahead and eat the snail and risk brain infection rather than eating the fairly ripe carrot I found lying in the shelves.

Things like Botulism might bother me when eating canned food, canned foods also have some trace amounts of chemicals that will eventually snowball inside of you as well as low nutritional value compared to -actual- things not canned, not good to constantly rely on them, but might not have a choice.



And radiation, I know enough but not everything about decontaminating myself as well as the symptoms that follow, so I'll probably bring some scavenged lead with me/extra clothes in a bag lined with some lead material.

There's a dentist office near me, pretty sure not many people think about the vests let alone the machines in there.

Imagine setting up the front door with X-rays. It'd be a nice way to stop the living from coming inside without permission.

Wearing the same clothes that just got exposed to beta particles for even 3 seconds doesn't sound like the best idea either. Geiger counters are my friend.

And it doesn't always have to be lead I'm hiding behind, if I end up near a nuclear explosion, the best bet is 30-50 miles away inside a building with enough objects or furniture between me and the walls.

And I'd be sure to stay away from the windows for a couple weeks. Maybe carefully hose them off later, assuming I have a hose or hose-like system going on.

General cardinal directions are common knowledge for the majority (I hope), even if I don't have a compass or the sun, I could figure out where I am thanks to the flora in the area.

And it might be nice to move up north or farther south where corpses will have either a harder time staying fluid and mobile, or rot faster because it's so goddamn hot.

Getting lost in the wild is fine, I've been bored every now and then and bothered to look up things, and know not to eat the small round berries that the birds eat.

Or extravagantly bright things.

I know what poison ivy looks like, not eating or touching that either.

Maple syrup trees can also be my friend, sometimes.

Birch trees are good, and easy to break. I could whittle some tools out of them, given the actual time I might have on my hands when there is no society.

I'm not sure whether the zombie virus could mutate and affect wild animals, so killing them also doesn't sound good if the virus works that way.

Won't want to eat dead flesh that's been alive long enough to see society trip over itself. Even if I just killed it.

It could have rabies, I'm not a super expert on determining whether something is rabid, other than obvious visual cues. Things won't always be obvious.

Hygiene is only so important when you literally don't have running water or are concerned about going to work/school/are completely alone/comfort, so every now and then I MIGHT think about visiting a lake or something. But the water is better inside of me than all over the place. And I should at least try to clean myself up, because of said virus/if I get open wounds I'm fucked/general cleanliness is nice sometimes.

There won't be time to shave, either.

So.

Yeah.

Zombies, yay.

I also wouldn't exactly trust a giant militia (like a random division with no one to report to) with guns. When there's no actual authority, who knows.

Jhon:
I would take two of my katanas, lots of food (especially and mainly canned food), a couple bottles of water, my cellphone because I might be able to use it for something, a couple of clothes to change, put my bicycles in the car and drive to a very nearby farm that nearly no one in my city knows about (it's in open plains and it's kinda hidden behind hills which I have explored with my bicycles).
If I'll see lots of zombies I'll probably snap into "survival mode" so I won't have any morals or ethics "interferring" with my actions.

I might also go on a small detour to take my friend that has passed some medical training and has some medical supplies in his house. I will also have a couple of markets at about 15 mins cycling away from me so I'll have places to loot from, cause most of the people here are either fat, old, barely exercise and religious (which means they'll stay at home and pray for god) so there won't be a lot of normal humans to stay around to loot markets.

I've trained in martial arts, exercise at gym and learn kendo so I won't be swinging the katanas around like an idiot and accidentally slice my own head off. I'm also pretty good with electronics and the friend with medical supplies is much better than me in that so I think I have pretty good chances =D

But I think massive earthquakes and volcano erruptions are more likely to happen and especially where I live. So in that case I'm probably doomed.
