so you guys ever see a Barrett 50cal sniper rifle? I got to actually hold one last week. Crazy impressive, you can tear a man in half through a concrete wall from over a mile away.
Would be extremely handy for the coming zombie apocalypse.
Can fire ten 50cal rounds down field in under ten seconds, and has almost no recoil. Shoulder fired, not mounted.
if i have cigarettes, i can go two days at a time without eating and remain at full effectiveness
i think we'd have to settle eventually; the whole point would be to find a place which fits all our needs and can be secured with the minimal amount of effort so we can begin rebuilding, right?
i have locations already pre-determined, complete with isolation procedures, defense construction, agriculture production, living quarters, etc.
I've thought about this, guys.
There are a good number of abandoned military bases and forts all across the US and Canada which would make excellent fortresses in such a scenario, including old underground missile silos. Very, very secure and with enough room for dozens to live comfortably, easy to defend and built solidly, practically invisible from the surface.

yes
i know where some are
in good geographic locations with easily isolated arable land and controllable access to nearby low-population townships which can easily be raided and eventually secured in 2nd generational population expansion.
Hey, another idea I liked from The Walking Dead was colonizing a prison.
There is real potential there, I think.
The prison would have to be well stocked and possibly have an incinerator to get rid of corpses. Also, we would need to sequester one with thick walls that possibly have patrol walkways.
So, we are looking for an older prison that has been kept up to date and is in a more rural area.

lots of those, especially in the midwest.
the problem, primarily, is all the prisoners.
They are no real problem, that is what the incinerator is for.

They all escape when the guards freak and let them go in the ensuing zombipocalypse
It's like the second or third thing that happens in a prison when the epidemic comes.
Without being able to self sustain holing up is pointless.
it's essential.
survivalism is nice and all guys.
but the important part is living.
you can survive and scrape by, miserably denying undeath, day after day until you eventually give out
it's a harsh, miserable existence making you not much more than what you are resisting.
what your goal always has to be is re-establishment. survive for now, but build for a new day, when we can re-take our world from these shambling hordes and make a new, and dare i say, better world for humanity, cleansed of the weak and infirm and unfit by pure natural process.
it's like a new forest, vibrant and full of life, spring up from the ashes of what is destroyed in a fire started by a lightning strike.

If they're still locked up, I don't really see the problem. Like shooting fish in a barrel. I call the child molester wing.

That, or they are left there to starve. Either way, it's a win for us.

But then they all come back, so thats at least three days of sweeping through every part of the prison, killing zombie after zombie after zombie...
plus, prisoner zombies would probably be harder to kill than your regular civilian zombie, what with the constant weight lifting and the constant anal rapeage.

you can survive and scrape by, miserably denying undeath, day after day until you eventually give out
it's a harsh, miserable existence making you not much more than what you are resisting.
See, I disagree, here. Hunter-gatherers have, historically, had the highest amount of leisure time.
That said, I'd rather try to reestablish some semblance of pre-apocalypse life.
hunter-gatherers didn't have to actively avoid their own populace turning into disease-ridden cannibalistic hordes.
I see your point, here.
I still like the prison idea, though. I'm sure that they could be modified to be self-sufficient, with enough room for both crops and livestock for a small community inside. And they are designed to be secure in precisely the way we'd want.
Man if a zombie outbreak happens I am going to find me a nice castle to stay in.
One with lots of escape tunnels and secret passages that even if you manage to somehow find them all you'll be unable to properly barricade?
Nah. There is one nearby that you can only reach by a bridge. There is also a nice little moat around it and well I am pretty sure there are no secret passages that are unknown in that place. There is also a little restaurant in the castle and a wine cellar. And it is in a relatively quiet area so should be a pretty good bet.

I'd prefer a military base to a prison, really.
Ultimately, prisons are designed to keep people in
Military bases are designed to keep people out.
A prison's not hard to take and hold and control and isolate, but a military base in a rural area is superior for this same purpose.

Prisons are clearly designed to be secure, regardless of direction of travel. It's not like you can get in easier than you can get out.
And I'm not sure I'm with you on the military base thing. Could you maybe give me an example of a specific base that fits your needs?

Pony, as long as Northern Ontario has the ability to grow tobacco and some form of plant that can be turned into alcohol, I'm in.
By the way, we'll need at least one dentist for practical reasons.
Oh, we also need women to procreate with. I suggest an all-girls Catholic high-school.
Hahaha, why did I immediately think of the second half of 28 Days Later when I read this
Look, gay sex is fine for most purposes, but we will need someone to carry on the species. All I'm asking is that our descendants be promiscuous and good-looking. It just gives me a warm fuzzy to think of a healthy human race, fighting zombies and fucking constantly.
Most prisons I've seen just have fences on their outer perimeter, not enough to keep zombies out, and the pods inside are not suitable for crop growth.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but NORAD is mostly underground, isn't it?
Forgive me, but most of my knowledge of NORAD comes from Hollywood.

Just like in Stephen King's The Stand, the best part of a post-apocalyptic society (especially one taken down by disease rather than, say, nuclear holocaust) is that nearly all of mankind's resources from the pre-epidemic era are still sitting on shelves somewhere. If you need something you are welcome to walk in and take it. This means we won't have to immediately re-start an industry, economy or agriculture system. We will have adequate time to carve-out a stronghold before we begin to till the fields.
As part of a defense system we should have all our non-utilized population dig an empty moat around our secured property, preferably overlooked by improvised or pre-existing guard-towers. Undeads will fall into the pit and it will take them some time before they can crawl out, giving our guards ample opportunity to pop them. We can then fill the hole with kerosene or another easily-recovered flammable material and burn the corpses to prevent infection. After a significant amount of time it would be necessary to clean out the pit, but so long as it is deep/wide enough it will provide a cheap method of defense. Getting across to make supply runs can be accomplished with temporary bridges found at any depot for the army corps of engineers.
