I think I could survive if the zombies are really slow like The Walking Dead

But if they're quick like World War Z, I think I'd rather just shoot myself and get it over and done with

What about you?

I'd be ok I'd have my sledge hammer and an array of Sharpe tools along with my ability to hunt and my knowledge of wild foods to eat.

I think most guys think they could survive. However in reality I think we’d all find ourselves eaten.

Think the other issue would be lack of guns in the UK. Which I am glad about before anyone thinks I’m into the gun touting American idea.

My dad has a guns (shot guns and rifles) for hunting, so I could get hold of guns quite easily.

The issue with that would be, survivors would also want their hands on them

No - I wouldn't want you to shoot me.

We're not in a heavily populated area and there's a pub 100 yards away so we'll just pretend it's the Winchester.

The cynic in me also thinks that for some on here a zombie apocalypse may be the best chance of getting their knob into someone else's mouth....

Let me stock up on asthma inhalers first then I can run pretty fast. I think its a bit unfair that zombies should be quick though, imagine how much your heart would be racing getting away. Id rather the lumbering type you can whack round the head with a shovel.

Think I'd prefer to stay alive mind. And I may as well make use of my cherry picker licence into the bargain.

Sniper's rifle preferable, but harder to acquire than a crowbar which I own anyway. Even in the absence I could just use the latter. Lower my basket to 8 feet above ground level, swing the crowbar down through one of undead heads whilst just out of reach, then boom back up again.

Also handy to get on any rooftop or high up balcony to a height of around 50-200 feet dependant on the model, whereupon I can again use the crowbar to break through most locked doors that prevent me gaining access.

In theory you could extend your outriggers when stationary with all models if they come equipped with them. You could also have them out and lowered 95% when moving, but bear in mind that the surrounding surface you're driving on would have to be completely flat, kerbs and suchlike would be a problem. Also how safe they are would depend upon how far you were booked out at the time, if you were 100 feet up then a lurch due to one hovering leg getting caught of 3 inches would catapult the basket around 10 feet or so?

Bearing this in mind, I'd take the option of having them withdrawn when moving at all times. It's unlikely that zombies would push the base unit over anyway as any cherry picker of a decent size has one of a squat heavy weight, with all four wheels extended outside it on a reinforced chassis. Pushing against the wheels would do practically nothing at all and the base unit itself likewise as there's weight on the frame on a wider circle from the centre of gravity.

Plus if the zombies started to congregate around it in decent numbers then I'd simply drive over them, 4x 5 foot height wheels with 2 foot thick hardened rubber tyres would make for a very effective weapon. Though whilst moving I would boom in on mast 1 and the extension on mast 2,while fully up on 3 to reduce swing as I rolled over the bodies.

I may have discussed this with P before.

Travelling

Depends on the zombies. Is it mutations like resident evil or just standard zombies like walking dead. Are they fast or slow moving?

Are they like the clickers from The last of us, with no sight with great hearing?

Guns are going to be the last line of defense when all else fails, you don't want to be bringing attention to yourself. Ammo is also limited.

Melee weapons and stealth are going to be the everyday use. Blunt weapons generally more effective than bladed (sharpness of the blade is key)

I've thought about this last year after my thyroidectomy. Basically I have to rely on pills to make the hormones my thyroid used to produce. We can only survive a few weeks without them, so even if I raided every pharmacy in the area unless I worked out how to make them myself I wouldn't probably have a good outlook in a zombie apocalypse. Or any type of apocalypse really

most fundamental aspects

I don’t own a gun but I do have three chainsaws. One of which is meant for high pruning so it extends about 20 feet so as not to get too close to the zombie mess that will be flung off the chain.

I also have, as mentioned earlier, a cherry picker. However it’s not a powered one (trailer) so wouldn’t fancy my chances when a hoard comes.

Got 1kw of portable solar panels for when the 2.5kw generator runs out of the last bit of petrol to be found.

So no, I’m not too bothered about not having a gun.

Love thus talk, and am not one of those conspiracy nuts, (not too much anyways), but I do have couple disaster plans. Not necessarily for zombies, but other plans could cover zombie scenario. The only thing I need to work out is finding a couple pussys that I could lull into false sense of security so could use as decoy or bait if needed. Awful I know, but practical.
