If you really want to survive a zombie invasion, you are going to want to avoid selecting any of the Wiki Top 5 Zombie Survival Plans (here). 

The real problem with the first plan, the superstore, is the lack of originality.  Guess what.  Everyone...including the zombies, will have Costco at the top of their poorly designed survival plans.  The stores and malls will be like zombie buffets.    Need proof, check out Walmart on Black Friday.  Now that's scary. 

#2 The get out of town plan is not without merit.  But I hope the zombie invasion is a secret that only you know about, because the highways will be parking lots.

#3 The boat.  A row boat would be a little crowed, and incapable of carrying enough drinking water and supplies for the crew for any extended period of time.  A power boat will need gas daily, so I hope this works for you.    A sail boat.  Aye Captain, so a seafaring pirate, arghh!  What do all those ropes and pulleys do? 

#4 Get High.  I'm listening.  Into the mountains where it's frozen, to slow down the zombies.  Are we talking about the same thing? 

#5 The battle bus.  Finally, a plan with a little forethought.  Cuz we can!

OK, so we can criticize. But can we do any better you ask?  We think fortifying the home is a great first line of defense.  As long as you tell the insurance company the improvements are for "storm protection" (i.e. leave out the zombies), you should get a nice discount!  Stock your pantry with at least four weeks worth of canned food, and bottled water, enough for each house member.    Build an arsenal, "Ill give you my gun when you pry it from my cold 'undead' hands". Own a 4X4, make sure it's always full of gas, and maintain the emergency roadside kit.  Keep plenty of extra gas in storage containers, at least 20 gallons.  What's next...Stay Tuned.  We are just getting started.


Top 5 Zombie Survival Plans
Source: Wiki

  1. Take over a giant food/hardware type store (Walmart, Sam’s Club, Costco, etc)
  2. Get out of town – as far as you can. Live off the land and conduct period raids into more populated areas for supplies.
  3. Get off the land entirely. Grab a boat big enough for a small team of survivors to live on and plan to collect rainwater and supplies from periodic trips ashore.
  4. Get high. Go to the greatest elevation and most remote area you can find and count on the cold temperatures and long winters to keep the undead moving slow or frozen.
  5. Arm yourself and others and travel to a nearby mall. gather all the food and block off the doors. Wait for the zombies to leave to find easier prey or attempt to leave in a fortified car or bus.
