    The answer is "yes" and, and don't forget to pack your redneck with a crossbow.

    Trail runner for scouting ahead or fetching help, lifter to help lift things.

    Also, the lifter has more lean meat on him so as a last resort... :D

    This just enforces the reason to do lifting and cardio...it all makes sense now..

    The real answer is cardio with strength being important, but a large body mass being unsustainable. There won't be sufficient food to support a muscular body and running will be more important to be able to hunt and escape from danger. At some point it will be either learn to hunt effectively or die.

    Speaking of which, anyone else enjoying the new shoe "Naked and Afraid?"

    I'm going to go with a little of both. Cardio really is the obvious choice, but you also have to consider that you MAY have to wrestle or fight for food.

    I'm now thinking... rock climber. Can zombies climb? I guess if I were zombified, I'd be able to climb. :devil:

    On my team I want some lifters.

    I'll stick to being the runner. You know, that way when the zombie hoard comes though I'll be miles away and I'll come back the the fortress the "picking stuff up fodder" built.

    Rarely do you see a huge muscle guy surviving in a movie, with possibly the exception on pitch black, but he was a douche, so I mean fast douche would be the best.

    As bad as I hate to say it...cardio, hands down.

    The keys to survival in that kind of situation are to keep moving, and to preserve resources. Muscle mass/strength will be nearly impossible to preserve. Endurance is the way to go.

    Yep, BOTH! You gotta be strong with endurance! So's you can RUN & FIGHT for scraps of food! Any pilfering skillz would also be good. Survival of the FITTEST.

    I'd go with cardio, assuming zombies can't run fast/much/hard.

    I think its up to the zombies,which kind are we dealing with?
    the kind that shuffle around...then I would want strength
    runners....then you will for sure need cardio endurance

    And what's all this team business? In that situation, a team is harder to conceal, consumes far too many resources, and adds the factor of competing egos, which only slows you down more, further decreasing your chances of survival. (Yes I am fully aware that I seriously need some more hobbies.)

    Zombie survival guide recommends small groups, it means a larger pool of skills and resources, and more people to allocate to jobs that need to be completed. Also you can use the ugly ones as bait
