    I have great evasion tactics (I was that kid that could do a sharp turn while running while the chaser had to round it out to turn) and both natural and pharmaceutical medical knowledge.

    I also come with my own practical (functional) swords.



    Mortician on your team FTW.

    Um. My strength would be distracting the zombies with my tasty flesh so the rest of you could get away.

    I'm just being honest. :laugh:

    I'm working on the running part, but I think my main strengths are in the area of starting a new civilisation. Among my skills are:
    - gathering and growing edible stuff
    - making food stuffs like bread from wild yeasts, jams & preserves, drying meat etc
    - making wool and other fibers into yarn and this into clothing, blankets etc
    - brewing
    - making soap

    I can run, shoot, lift heavy things, know edible plants, have a stock of food and survival items, and I can do martial arts (protect myself even without weapons). I also wouldn't mind killing zombies (in fact I'd enjoy it before it got monotonous), butchering animals, killing or disabling human attackers/looters.

    The one thing I always think is surely going as far north as possible would be best for me as I'm in Canada. No way the zombies would survive winter in some areas getting to -50 Celsius(maybe colder?) ...they'd freeze, lose limbs from the cold etc. Even if they could somehow come back to "life" after thawing, we could just wait until they've all frozen and destroy their brains just in case. Problem solved.

    Well, I am big enough and have enough meat that I could be the guy that you trip and while they eat me you could get away!

    I tell jokes. People would save me so I could entertain them in the shelter.

    Right?

    I've watched every episode of The Walking Dead. That's got to count for something.

    I'm tasty and tender?

    Do tell!

    In other words everyone else would be running while my fat butt was getting chewed up by the zombies.

    weakness: my inability to value human life over the lives of walkers.

    strengths: handy with a knife when a slower, nicer sibling is near, and looking at flowers

    Feed me sugar and I develope a complete lack of self preservation or care for my own personal well being.

    Could be handy as a decoy or first fool to enter a zombie filled room.

    I'm a wilderness survival expert (certified... no really). I was raised in a remote part of the world and can live for a long time off the land. I am strong, fast, and ruthless when need be. I have 2 graduate degrees so I think I could probably do fairly well at urban survival too. I have an outdoors gear obsession and am ready to head for the hills at the slightest provocation. Oh... and I know how to fire rifles, shotguns, and other long guns.

    I'm a Paramedic, spontaneous emergency medicine is kind of my thing... plus leadership kinda comes with the territory when managing chaotic scenes.

    Oh yea, I'm also a good shot with handguns, shotguns, and rifles (bolt action and semi)

    Bring it!

    I seem harmless, so you'll trust me, right up until the point where I take you out and steal all your *kitten*. Assuming the husband survives, it will probably actually be him that takes you out while I'm distracting you.

    I'm teaming up with you.

    I have a number of guns and a fair amount of ammo. Plus a month or so worth of canned food if I conserve.

    I'm a zombie, and coincidentally, like tasty and tender folk who wouldn't mind chewing on some hotties *kitten*.

    I used to play softball, so give me a bat and I will literally bust some zombie heads!! I'm also a pretty good judge of character (no tolerance for the Governor), and have medical training.

    The only thing missing is the ability to hunt, which I will learn from someone else. However when that person inevitably perishes, I am able to sever emotional ties pretty quickly and can move on.

    Look on the bright side, when you're scavenging for your next meal there's no need to count calories!

    Layin' it all out!

    Strengths:

    Intelligence. Will recognize zeeks for what they are and will not waver on putting them (or other threats) down.
    Ability to compartmentalize and act out of necessity.
    Solid aim with both a bow and handgun. (I can only assume I'll be passable with a crossbow too.)
    Physical strength.
    High pain tolerance.
    Strong swimming skills. (Can hold breath for well over a minute).
    Some medical training.
    Fiercely loyal/protective. Will not leave others behind unless there are no other options.


    Weaknesses:

    Endurance isn't where it should be. Some motivation may be required. (Please note: Not being a zeek Snack-Pack is probably sufficient motivation.)
    Potential agitator. Will dissent or break ranks if leadership appears to be making lousy choices.
    No desire to lead or follow. Outsider of sorts.

    Wow! There is quite a team here on MFP - who knew?

    I guess another strength of mine is my murderous streak when I'm hungry - I imagine in the apocalypse food will be hard to come by so I will be in constant "attack" mode!
