I watch The Walking Dead and play Left 4 Dead 2. Ya, I'm totally ready. But seriously, if a zombie apocalypse were to break out, I feel like I'd be able to handle it long enough to at least survive the initial outbreak. We've actually had discussions about how our fraternity house could be turned into a fortress. The greatest key to survival is flying under the radar. Know what attracts zombies and do absolutely everything that's the opposite of that.
I'd first set up a fortress somehow, whether it be a building, farm, or whatever I end up with. I would have various distractions set up around the perimeter to draw their attention away long enough for me to escape, if it ever came to that. I wouldn't go straight for the gun store, because everyone will do that and people will end up shooting each other as they fight for weapons. Instead, I'd use makeshift weaponry initially and loot what I needed later on from abandoned cars/houses/stores. My group would likely include my fraternity brothers and other unaffected students on the campus, though I'd be careful not to let the group grow too big. It's good to have labor and fighters, but each one is another mouth to feed. If communications were still up, I'd contact my family and organize a meeting point, as well as help my brothers get to their families. At this point, the group would likely be quite large, so we would divide into smaller groups and go our own ways. It is at this point I would find and establish the fortress mentioned above and try to wait it out until all the zombies decompose or a "cure" of some type is found. If it seems like it'll be years before it's over, I would try to find and get into any established colonies for refugees. The only thing I'm uncertain about is where my morals would end up. If it was to protect myself and/or my group, I know I would kill an unaffected person. People's darkest natures will come out. You must be darker than them to survive.
/walloftext. I guess I spend a little too much time thinking about this crap. Well, when the zombies do come, I'll be glad I did.
