This wouldn't work. Still relatively close to the shore. Zombies can go some distances underwater. Next its on a small rock. No self sufficiency for food or water. You're bound to have to get back to mainland for supplies.

I can see myself hallowing that rock out, reinforcing it with steel and digging as far as I can to create an underwater BATCAVE. The house would just be the entrance equipped with the best anti-zombie stuff. I think I would be safe if they manage to reach me because I'll be camped out in my batcave.

Big box stores in Canada don't have guns. :O
Very few CT's in the GTA, and some outside of the GTA stock ammunition. But you'd have to bring your own guns since they stopped selling them a bit over 15 years ago.

A 12 gauge pump or hinge action shot gun and a 22lr rifle would be my best bet since they're common recreational cartridges.

really? I didn't know!!!
I thought they stopped... I just remember looking @ CT catalogs when i was a kid and seeing all the rifles/shotguns.

So maybe a CT barricade in Kingston might be best.
But inmate zombies from the kingston pen might be too much to handle. :-0

Snipe from a tower eh... I rather snipe from the roof of CT and go back for more ammo when im ready. Oh... I'd also lug a 24 of Canadian upstairs.

You had better have a seriously good piece of steel that doesn't get dull, and can cut through bone with the same above mentioned issue in mind. Gotta cut off heads, and it becomes increasingly difficult and taxing to your stamina to keep lifting a heavy piece of steel above your head and swing it about against a crowd of zombies

Depends what kind of sword we are talking about using. A bastard sword is heavy, and does require quite a bit of stamina. However, a Katana is capable of cutting through bone without the need for much of a swing, and it isn't nearly as heavy. Similarly, sabers can work very well for that purpose. They do require a good swing, but aren't nearly as heavy as a bastard sword.

a small axe would do the trick.

-ease of use
-blunt trauma. enough to severe the brain and easily crush skulls
-Even if it gets dull or rusty... The weapon uses blunt force as well as a sharpened edge... compared to swords that are mostly about the sharpened edge... although heavier swords would provide more of that blunt trauma element.
-easy to carry on a tool belt.

I've trained with bastard sword & shield, Katana, Dao, Miao Dao, Rapier, and am currently learning twin dao. So yes, I am aware of the specific movements.

Bastard sword was actually primarily used for blunt trauma, not cutting. It wouldn't have been able to cut through chain or plate armor, however it was more than capable of smashing though or breaking bones. It was capable of cutting as well, but not normally used.

Italian longsword was used for blunt as well, but primarily it was used for piercing into gaps in the armor and pierce through the chain underneath. As per the Fiore Dei Liberi manuscripts.

I like where this thread is going. Almost like playing GTA and looting the gun stores and killing people for fun. Please don't call CSIS on me.


I like the Costco idea only if they had hunting supplies. I guess you could improvise like Frank West and use whatever's on hand but I doubt zombies would be lethargic like they were in Dead Rising and more aggressive like Left 4 Dead where they run and lunge at you, just no mutations like Tanks or Boomers/Smokers (hopefully not).

It's kind of pointless to discuss from my point of view because if there was a virus that ravaged the globe, I'll likely be the first to go since I'm so weak.

I'll do what this guy did only I'll use a kitchen knife.

Man, you guys who choose to fight it out are really dumb. If you get the infected blood on you, that's game over. I don't think zombies are smart enough to formulate a plan to get you if you're out of sight.

As far as ration goes, I can survive on very little.

I can survive on a can of tuna and some crackers a day. I could load up a van full of it and head north where there is barely any settlements. I just hope the rivers aren't tainted and could still sustain wild life to hunt and may be some friendly bears could be my buddies that I can adopt and call Winnie or Yogie.

Anyone who says "I'll load up on supplies and head north" will not survive. That will be the plan of most people. If you don't have your supplies already you'll never get any once something happens since the stores will be crowded with people with the exact plan as you. Or worse, more organized people with guns may have already taken over your local grocery store and no one is getting anything without a fight.

Second, anyone who plans to go to a store like Costco, Walmart, etc and locking themselves in...you won't survive. You won't be the only person to think like that. If you manage to fortify the store you'll still have the problem of other people trying to get in. If you block everyone from getting in then what's to stop a group of people looking for supplies from driving a truck through a door/wall and looting? Your greatest enemy will be other desperate humans.

No, but at the same time, zombies aren't going to be able to figure out how to remove a manhole cover to get in. It'll smell and be gross, but the odds of encountering many zombies down there is slim, and any ones I do encounter will likely be solitary. That would be early on in the outbreak. After most have spread and they start to wander, I'm sure more would end up in the sewers, but it would take a while.

Then I also don't have to worry about traffic.

I don't agree that an axe is a good weapon. It's heavy, they usually have wooden handles so they're breakable, and the sweet spot for kills is rather small all things considered. A machete or sword makes more sense really but if you have to improvise then pretty much any weapon is good I guess.

I highly doubt that you'd get into a military base if things are chaotic. That and military bases will attract a lot of people. The infected will probably go to hospitals and military bases for help before dying and reanimating. Depending on how things have gone at the military base you may be traveling to a place that's already overrun with the undead. Your best bet is to go somewhere that other people won't.

Where do you live where you can actually walk through the sewers? That would probably be a good way of getting around if you don't have to come up too often. Your only real concern is infected people who tried to go down into the sewer and then died and reanimated but there should be few of those people and you should be able to handle them if you have a weapon.

The only problem is...
There might be the 1 in 1000 people that'll try that... If one gets infected they could easily infect many more causing a sewer full of zombies.
I'm not sure if sewer infrastructure will lead out into other cities. But that'll be pretty cool.

I think most attempts are at best futile... But you just gotta pick which one is the least futile, and the people/groups with the most ballz will survive.

Imagine all those "survival" nuts out there... Theres bound to be other groups of well armed people with food, supplies, trucks and even motorcycles. Some of these groups might clash.

Well, the issue with a gun is that it runs out of bullets, and you have to carry around ammunition, which can weigh you down if you bring a lot, and you WILL need a lot. However, with a sword, yes it may have some weight to it, but you don't need to reload, and you can't run out of sword. Yes, it can dull, but if it is bastard sword it doesn't even matter, it is built for smashing anyway. Obviously, having a gun is handy, but it's good to have a backup plan.

I highly doubt that you'd get into a military base if things are chaotic. That and military bases will attract a lot of people. The infected will probably go to hospitals and military bases for help before dying and reanimating. Depending on how things have gone at the military base you may be traveling to a place that's already overrun with the undead. Your best bet is to go somewhere that other people won't.

True enough. The best bet would be to shack up somewhere in the wilderness where you have food storage and such, but you'd need to get there during all the chaos, which in itself could be hard. Unless you live in the wilderness anyway anticipating the impending zombie apocalypse.

Where do you live where you can actually walk through the sewers? That would probably be a good way of getting around if you don't have to come up too often. Your only real concern is infected people who tried to go down into the sewer and then died and reanimated but there should be few of those people and you should be able to handle them if you have a weapon.

Exactly. I'd rather deal with 5-10 zombies spread out in the sewer than the swarm that will be present above ground. In the sewer they have limited directions of attack.

Zombie freezes in the winter, and with the ashes that will go up during a zombie apocalypse (city fire, civilian unrest, military action, man-made deforestation for survival etc) Canada will be cold and therefore the safest place to be for zombie encounters.

We are all familiar with winter survival, I will go for a nature-esque kind of open fortification ala [SPOILER FOR WORLD WAR Z]

whole scenario depends on the types of zombies we are talking about, and how wide spread the infection is. If most of the world is infected then i think your pretty much screwed, even if you find food and shelter, how long u gonna live like that for? might as well give up and just eat brains for the rest of ur life.

but if it's just the city thats infected, hiding in a saferoom/mall prob not gonna work as the gov will prob just nuke/destroy the city taking no survivors.

if they can't swim, and it's not infectious through the air, best bet would be to find some kind of small island and start a community there. But that requires getting to the airport and fighting off the 1000s of other people trying to do the same thing.

However, the problem with this strat is that after a day or two, their bodies will be bloated with absorbed water and will naturally float up to the surface and find a way onto the boat. On top of that, zombies will see your boat from land, and they will all move in your direction.

My new zombie survival plan is to move to Alaska. Zombies suffer from rigor mortis and the cold will immobilize them. They won't be able to move or even bite you. Plus their blood will be frozen, so your chances of being infected is drastically reduced.

Of course, if movies have taught us anything, the biggest threat to survivors during a zombie apocalypse are the people you're living alongside. Once there is nothing to live for, greed and selfishness take over. So the biggest threat is actually surviving RFDers. They will be the first to clean out the local Walmart and leave you with nothing and will probably kill you so they can loot your blank, dual layer Verbatims.

I doubt someone from Toronto could really appreciate how difficult it would be to live in Alaska.

It doesn't look that secure.

Zombies can walk underwater, so a stray may make it to that area eventually. >:(

Sure zombies can walk under water, but for how long?

A natural degradation process will occur, fishes and other scavengers will make a meal of their dead skin.

So i might consider staying on this cruise ship.

Fish and other animals are not immune to zombie infection. Your boat will be attacked by more zombie fish than you can shake your fist at.

You have everything figured out, don't you? What about the carbon dioxide that they breathe out which eventually infect the plant life and in turn produce zombie tainted oxygen? Yeah.. think about that.

Oh this would be my dream come true. There are plenty of places to get guns as well, don't forget police stations, army bases, gun clubs, farm houses.

Keep in mind during a crisis like that, the first place people are going to go is the police station & army base. They will be swarming with people, some possibly already infected.

Gun clubs? Odds are all existing members would have gotten to them already.

And farm houses will be hit or miss.

Has anyone here considered getting a firearms license for the eventually Z day?

I seriously am. Talking with a hunting buddy of mine and the costs are extremely that high. I would like to hunt one day (if i ever find the time), but the main reason is still for eventually breakdown of society due to whatever it may be.

Last thing I want to happen is for me not to be able to defend my family.

Anyone else feeling this way?

Don't forget you can also find them on dead cops, dead soldiers, dead gun owners, and dead farmers

Except there is no way a person would take a gun from a dead cop/soldier/gun owner/farmer because, considering the thread's themes, these are likely to be living dead cops, soldiers, gun owners, and farmers. :lol:

Now, if they were headless cops/soldiers/gun owners/farmers, I may reconsider...

I would get a Tim Hortons franchise and simply poison them with bad coffee and stale donuts when they came in.

Ideally, I'd find a way to get onto one of these:

What's more likely is I'd hole up in the Costco down the street and blockade the entrances with forklifts.

Being out to sea with a ship full of sailors for an indefinite amount of time? Pass. I'll take my chances with zombies. At least you wont get buggered.

Whats so bad about becoming a zombie anyways? No taxes, dont have to work, no RFDers whining about speeding tickets or parking tickets. Sign me up.

And what happens if they turn into zombies...then you are stuck on an enclosed space with no exits, and weapons stuck in lockup. Horrible idea, especially considering that there is no way one guy could run the whole ship.

I am an asthmatic...have you seen how fast those zombies can run? I would die from an asthma attack in the first jaunt towards an unsuspecting victim whilst I search for brains.

I would make a bad zombie...but I would make a much better zombie sniping buddy for some lucky crew

Oh ya, and theres that too!


Nope the more I think about it, the more clear it becomes that the Tim Hortons solution is the best one proposed so far. Capitalism FTW!
