The zombie apocalypse. For this scenario it's a walking dead type end of the world. Slow zombies shambling through the streets of our collapsing civilization. How you have the 30 days of foreknowledge is irrelevant (it could be a vision from god, a message from a friend who works for the government, whatever), but you have exactly 30 days before it kicks off and only you know about it.


What would you do? Is there anything you could, or even want, to do?


I would probably try to take out every loan I could, and get some property out in the middle of nowhere with a well. Then fill the place with supplies and try to hold out til everything settles in a few years. I think the biggest challenge would be getting my wife on board and not being involuntarily committed to an institution.

Simply put, I am going to sell everything I own in Oklahoma, move to Michigan and stick up on ammo, food and seeds.

Michigan has tons of corn fields, lots of corn fed deer and with the lakes fresh water and fish.

What if you're one of the zombies? Then you've just isolated yourself from your food source.

Take out a huge loan, buy a ton of shelf stable food, water purifiers, survival supplies, medications, etc., charter a boat to one of the many islands that are far enough from shore and isolated enough to avoid the plague, wait it all out. Bring enough guns and ammo to kill everyone on the island a dozen times over.

That or buy enough .22 ammo and 10/22s to outfit the population of a small Midwestern town, and just go ham on the shambling hordes. You and 50 of your closest buddies can mow down an arbitrary quantity of slow zombies. The hardest part would be avoiding dying of cholera or typhus due to all that rotting human shaped meat piled up hither and yon.

P.S. Someone did an epidemiology study on bite transmitted slow zombies, and once they factored in the fact that people could shoot them dead, the results were anyone in a coastal city died like a scrub, but once you got into the rural areas the speed of the zombies, distances they had to spread to, and the ability of the local population to purge them offset the hordes nicely. like the entire flyover states had <10% casualties, and mostly on the one or two big cities.

I dunno that your plan is sound OP, I think it'd take much longer than 30 days to acquire a large loan and then find and purchase a suitable house to hole up in, nevermind getting supplies in time. Closing on a house is a nightmare of hoops and paperwork.

Personally I'd just take the month off and come what may. My life isn't gonna get any less lovely once there are zombies all over the place, so gently caress it.

You'll have a mountain fortress just like in the hit film Mad Max: Fury Road, but instead of releasing water onto your groveling masses it will be piss.

I live in Rhode Island. Because of the high density only second in the nation to NJ, my options might be different than someone living rural. When I played Fallout there were safe zone cities. I'd either head for a safe zone city - Boston. Maybe Providence. There I could have some local protection.
