    I guess I'd be in the Philadelphia PA area. If at home I'm across the street from a Rite Aid and 2 blocks from a large grocery store. If at worrk, it's a large veterinary hospital that's sort of like a fortress.

    I've got short little legs, but I do have the running skills. So long as they're not 28 days later types, yeah I'd be able to outrun them. As they're dead though without having to breathe, pretty sure they'd outdo me on endurance so running isn't the best plan.

    My survival skills are my medical knowledge and triage skills. As I've worked ER for many years, I act on instinct and don't hesitate. I am also accustomed to vicious terrified animals tring to attack me and I am able to restrain with no-one getting hurt. I know how to treat trauma and shock. I can hit a vein like no other. I know what most drugs do and how to use them. My weapons knowledge is not great, but I'm damn strong for a little thing. When faced with horrible situations, I just act and do what's necessary.

    Weapon of choice... if at work I think a spay hook through the eye socket would do nicely. Or maybe I could rig the rabies pole with gigli wire for a decapitation weapon. There's also bone saws, but I'd need to be in pretty close proximity. If at home, that's a little tougher. Any blunt force weapon I guess. Or a kettlebell to the skull.

    Hired.... I shall call you doc..

    I am all for turning into a zombie....
    As for preparing, I practice being a zombie to the best of my alive/human abilities.
    Like, I don't eat humans..... But I'm capable of catching neighborhood runners, assuming zombieholly keeps human hollys cardio-endurance :p

    Under this sort of thought, id say if zombies can practice cardio we are pretty much all in trouble!!! OHHHH NOES!


    I don't think being zombies would be a bad thing....
    I mean at first it will be pretty brutal, until everyone is a zombie, then it's like a whole new world...

    Who would you eat if everyone is a zombie?

    I am not sure if I would be able to keep up an 11 min mile and a half, but will find out tomorrow. I am doing the 5K obstacle course run for your lives! It is a zombie infested 5K and I am soooo excited!!!!

    Here is the website if anyone wants to check it out www.runforyourlives.com

    Anyways-my weapon of choice would be a machete, hedge clippers, or even a banjo (Zombieland anyone?)

    I am doing the one in Ontario :)

    Yay!!! You;ll have to let me know what you think of it!! When is it? I'll add you as a friend :)

    Survival depends totally on security of a fortress. I would take control of a closed correctional facility as soon as possible and set up base. security from getting out = securitry from getting in!

    AWESOME!! I was looking into doing the Toronto one in September :happy:

    I think I'm doing a good job at prepping myself.
    I have an escape plan (I'm not telling you where, I don't want you stealing my supplies), amazingly stocked bug out bags, gear/armor, and mad snipin' skills!

    Plus Friday nights are "drill nights" at my house.

    Where will you be when this occurs?
    Somewhere On the outskirts of Ottawa Ont

    Will you be able to out run them?

    Depends on zombie type, but yes

    What survival skills do you have that will allow you to outsmart/outlive a zombie crisis?

    lets see, I know how to butcher an animal. I can cook from scratch, can foods, I know how to garden and cultivate. Sew,
    I can hunt/fish if need be. I have worked construction so im handy with tools. I probably have other attributes, just can't think of them now. We have a fully stocked first aid and emergency kits

    What is your weapon of choice after your ammuntion runs out?

    Cross bow, compound bow and we happen to have an extensive knife collection. Though any big ol stick or crowbar could work.


    Honestly I was never really into this whole Zombie talk, But my son has a passion for it (and preping) and my BF loves everything zombie related. So.....if you can't beat em join em.
    As a mom I support his passions, we now have 4 bug out bags, our (ZAP) Zombie Action Plan is in place and I we beggun prepping, We all know how to use the weapons mentionned above, hunt and survive in the wilderness.

    And say the Zombie thing never happens....... but some other natural disaster does, we are good to go with out running water and food for quite a while. lol I like to plan ahead.

    On a side note, they both really enjoyed Worldwar Z, its more political than the plain old blood and gore zombie book.
    I think (OP) you would enjoy it too.

    Where I will Be: Undetermined as I may be moving from Raleigh to anywhere else come November.

    Will I be able to Outrun: Yes

    Survival Skills: My dad was a Marine MP who hated the thought of his daughter dating. So he taught me how to live and survive outdoors on nothing but worms and roots and a tarp as well as fish, hunt and clean it all up and portion it and all that goodness. He also taught me how to beat the crap out of guys bigger than me, stronger than me and needing a good smack. He figured it would be Marines so he taught me to handle Marines. I also worked, and still work, in the emergency medicine field and in an ER so I know first aid, treating injuries and handling breaks, sprains and what not.

    Weapon of Choice: A tire iron. If I have no ammo I need something that wont break easily, packs a punch and easily handled and carried. Then, if I can carry, a bow. Im in the process of learning to use one even better. But anything sturdy, portable and can maximize damage.

    Well in all reality I thought of it as a Zombie type movie... I guess the sunlight thing could seem like vampire(ish) but mostly was the human species infected with a aggressive strain of Rabies!
