The last item is the most important thing you'd need in the zombie apocalypse...
Alright, Pandemic/Zombie outbreak. Choose One Vehicle and Three Weapons.

i pick a bicycle because they are fast, dont need fuel, are easy to fix, and can traverse 99% of terrain. im thinking my 6.6 would work perfectly
have to have a machete, theyre useful for more than just chopping heads, plus theyre lightweight
maybe an ak or something similarly indestructable,
and a small sidearm for when i get into scuffles, make and model dont matter as long as its reliable.

an Iron man suit.
a toyota hilux. 100 gallons of fuel are enough to get 2500 miles away.... range/fuel consumption is on top of the list. (which got me thinking about why you guys are intellectually-bukkaking over 8mpg-400hp doomsday-mobiles)
a machete, so that i can cannibalize others for food and any reliable 12ga and any reliable 9mm and lots of rounds would be enough.

Remind me to stay away from you during a zombie apocalypse.
So is your uncle one of those portrayed in the movie "Alive"?
Well we don't have hilux availability here in there states. So my choice of a unicat diesel is simply because I could run it on bio fuel and there will be plenty of spare cooking oil around restaurants to convert.
And, once I get to Mt/Hood's higher remote elevations. I'd simply set-up base camp with visibility and being remote I don't have to worry about walkers stumbling up on me often. Plenty of wildlife to eat from and with the available quad on the unicat, making trips down to the columbia or to rivers to fish will be fast and easy.

Plus a Bigwheel, you and your children would be a force to be reckoned with. Take the pedals off and put some kind of footpeg on it and then pull them with the quad. Just Badass huh?
my kids all get washed away in old socks or in rubber tubes.
Im making chudbabies.

It is always a zombie outbreak.
But I want to stress how guns is not necessarily the answer.
Everyone likes to think this is how it is going to be:
But if you are inside a fortified compound, why do you need to sniper zombies?
If you end up fighting zombies, it is probably going to be like this:
Even with full auto weapons, try going for 20 headshots in a row.
I think mobility and stealth are just as important as guns. Actually, firing guns will end up attracting even more zombies.
I hate to give away my zombie screenplay, but in my movie, besides the two typical survivor groups, the "good" non-militarized regular people and the "bad" gun nuts (in my movie, both groups are actually evil), the third group are teenagers who hide from both the other survivors and the zombies.
First of all, they carry no guns. Believe it or not you rednecks, not everyone has a gun or gun experience, and even a simple task of releasing a safety or inserting a magazine may not be obvious. I also think acquiring a gun, especially in the strong gun control areas like Democratic cities, would be near impossible.
My teenager survivors would dress stealthily in black hoodies and pants. They are afraid of capture by the other survivor groups as well as being eaten.
And their encampment is an unfinished building which the only way to access is to run and jump on the girders, ala Parkour, another reason why their group only consists of teenagers, not fat old people. Zombies do not have the coordination to balance or jump.

No surprise there
yeah, he has given me some pretty kickass recipes for thighs and calves....

And just for fun:
Armored Humvee: Just need basic claw protection when I am sleeping, and enough torque to shove through a pile of bodies. Plus a lot easier to service than armored vehicles.
M16 with scope: Just enough range to cover another survivor's escape and still useful in a cqb.
MP7 PDW: Better than a pistol
Wakizashi: About 30 inches long, 10 less than a katana, long enough to be an useful stabbing weapon but not as bulky if you have to crawl to safety.

i found a few for sale in places like vt but they are far and few between
Sanjuro,
So your writing a book about a bunch of emo kids. Dress in black? This is assuming zombies can see well. They are clumsy, slow and stupid. You can hang out with your coffee shop kids. I'll be up in the woods with a few guns and a beasty truck.
Im pretty sure a Saiga 12 firing full auto with a few drum mags will make a quick mess of that cluster.

Well, keep in mind that I am trying to write something that is different and unique. My story actually focuses on a woman and her daughter who deals with all three groups, and almost every zombie story I have read or seen involves either regular people or gun nuts.Sanjuro,

Everyone thinks they are making the retreat to the woods. My bug-out to Downieville would only involve crossing two highway bridges and passing through three million-plus population areas. I'm sure no one else would think to leave. And I don't have a boat or a friend with a boat.
My retreat is to a food warehouse just a mile away. It is very defensible even without guns, and I won't die of starvation.
As for a Saiga 12 Full Auto, assuming you could pick one up at your sporting goods store, don't forget what actually happened in this episode.
Both men were near exhaustion, Shane had hurt his ankle, and eventually, they were down to just a few bullets when Shane pulled a Judas on Otis.
Well, if were considering the dead reanimating and even being able to move at all. It's same to make the assumption that weapons would be available.
For vehicle, either a Pinz 712 (diesel converted) or a diesel Hilux.
Weapons:
M16 w/ ACOG.
Remington 870 w/ ghost ring sights & extended mag tube (slugs baby, slugs!!!)
UMP45 (if unavailable, Magnum Research Baby Eagle .45ACP)

Not to bring too much reality to this thread, but there aren't any gun stores within 10 miles of my home in SF. Even if I could make it to the Big 5 in Daly City, I would imagine every other survivor would be there as well.
And if there were M-16's lying on the ground, I am going to guess the original owners fired all their bullets. There is no surrender in zombie battles.
One huge gap in zombie stories is the assumption that almost everyone is dead or a zombie. World War Z is the notable exception where there are large groups of survivors, and Max Brooks deals the rebuilding of society.
Well I guess with all you defenseless city folk, it's gonna be sometime until I have to worry.
Your story goes like this. Everyone heads to food warehouse. Once inside infection can spread and the dead pile up outside waiting for their meals. People worse than the dead attack for food.
Im having coffee in the woods alone far enough up that zombies or infection don't spread well.

I'm not going to Costco, but a restaurant supply house in the industrial part of town. I don't think Mission hipsters and Haight Street hippies could find it now if they google mapped it. And what makes you think I'm defenseless?
Actually the way my screenplay goes is that this family is living on a remote farm, with no zombies around at all. Then the father gets badly injured in a farming accident, and the whole family goes to the closest city to seek medical help.
I think you can guess what happens next.

Dad finally has peace and quiet?
fvck a food warehouse, i'm going to my fortified farm.
Easier to shoot them at night!
A slip tank of fuel in my truck and we can be a long way away from civilization in a few hours up here. There is more than enough wildlife around to keep fed and there are enough hunting and trapping cabins out there that no one living-dead or alive would ever find you. We usually keep a few weeks worth of food/water in the house just in case we get a really bad storm that could be loaded up.
Sh!t its going to be -48*C tomorrow here with the wind you have to be prepared a little bit when it all goes sideways.
you're operating under the assumption that humans will be the only zombies. watch out for zombie bears and zombie wolves
The amount of serious thought/responses in this thread is making me LOL at my desk.
don't forget zombie crabs.
Congratulations, you wrote The Village.
Don't forget Zombie pirates.
My vehicle, which really doubles as a weapon.
First weapon
Second Weapon
Third Weapon
I hadn't thought about that, but The Village is classic M. Night Shyamalan, a huge build-up to a twist ending.
My screenplay, has the farm scene going about 3 minutes long before they get into the Volvo station wagon for the drive to Zombie City.
Actually, I can picture it now: do a peaceful farm scene while the opening credits roll, then right after "Written & Directed by Sanjuro", the arm into the thresher.
The entire audience knows already that the family are going to leave the farm to fight zombies, so why take very long to build the back story?

i will see your movie IFF mooshie is a zombie that gets disemboweled with a tattoo gun.
Couple things with zombie movies that bother me.
They're dead, no brain activity therefore they wouldn't move worth a damn. No running, no screaming. Since there zero brain activity mobility would be akin to a mummy.
They see/process things. No brain activity, no sight. They would literally have to accidentally fall on you to get a bite.
The really ****ed up ones don't move any worse than the recently deceased.
My ideal zombie movie is sorta like my fighting midgets dream. The original remake of day of the dead, the girl leaves the farm house and basically walks away, walking around zombies. A one point she points a .357 at one of them as she walks by. Light a midget fight it should be boring until theres 15 of them.

basic functions like sight, touch, mobility, balance, etc are handled by a different part of the brain than conscious thought.
Yes, but those require life to perform and the undead brain lacks all of it. No blood flow, no oxygen, no electrical activity.
Unless of course some parasite is responsible for the electrical activity. But atrophy would severely limit any muscle activity outside the recently deceased. Most would be recently deceased, but in a matter of weeks wouldn't be worth a damn.
