So it has occurred to me that my original zombie plan wasn't very specific, or even good.

Here's a detailed, well thought out, but flexible plan for someone who lives in a rural or lightly populated area, around 500 - 1500 families. This plan is also based upon the fact that you are cold and efficient, and you have everything at least somewhat ready, and you take the appropriate supplies with you.

This plan also relies HEAVILY on a vehicle, so it should probably be able to rival at least a medium duty pickup truck or similar four wheel drive vehicle, preferably diesel, because they run on multiple fuel types, such as diesel, furnace oil, or in a pinch, alcohol or regular gas. Also, with the proper butane injection, the butane will have the same effects as nitrous oxide.

Okay, so you're watching the news/surfing the net/listening to the radio, whatever. You hear of a zombie outbreak in the nearest major town/city, or even maybe where you live.

Step one: First off, if you're going to take people with you, I suggest you don't take your family or pets with you. I say this because the reasons are more than obvious. Are you really going to be able to shoot your baby sister/brother? What about your parents? Sure, you SAY you could... but could you really? So here's the deal, either waste them right there, or give them weapons or whatever if you have extras, and help out however you can. I say spend about 15 - 20 minutes helping your family do whatever - based on your situation - or kill them. Either way, you'll wanna call the people that are coming with you, and leave your family there with whatever help you can give them before you leave. Also, make sure that you kill your dog/cat/goat/horse etc. because you REALLY don't want an infected dog to eat you or your family, do you?

Step two: Okay, now comes the time to collect your friends and their weapons and gear. You throw your stuff in your vehicle, or a vehicle you've stolen, or whatever. Now go get your friends, and if your vehicle is dirty enough, take out everyone you see in the way, and don't let anything slow you down. When picking up your crew, make sure that they aren't infected. If they are, either kill them (preferably), or leave them there to die. Now that you have a crew, this plan can branch off in two different directions; either you have weapons or you don't.

Step three: You get the hell out of dodge, but don't go insanely fast or anything, you don't want to crash, so drive the way you normally do, capping anyone or anything that threatens you. Now, you should stop by Canadian Tire (for Canadians, obviously.) or Home Depot/Ace/Lowe's etc. anyone with camping stuff. Since there are a vehicle full of you guys, it will take about five minutes. This is what you may need, assuming you don't already have it, and remember, if anyone tries to stop you, kill them.

-One of those Coleman stove things, and fuel for it, which you can take lots of because the fuel canisters are small.

-An oil lamp of some kind.

-The ENTIRE rack of lighters and some lighter fluid.

-One large Jerry can. (fill it after, if not immediately.)

-Toiletries/hygiene stuff.

-BBQ sized propane tank.

-ALL ammunition/guns, assuming you either don't have enough, or want more, just in case.

-Baseball bats or whatever sweet melee shit you can find, variety and versatility are better. (IE. crowbars, because they can kill people and are tools.)

-Three or four three man tents, depending on how many people there are.

-ALL the fucking cigarettes/cigars/rolling papers/pipe tobacco etc.!

-A bong/pipe/hookah/bucket/parachute or whatever you're into.

-Utility knives/multi-tools or whatever you call them.

-Walkies/batteries/CD players.

-Seeds for vegetables and shit, and a couple basic tools for cultivating, which of most will probably double as melee weapons.

-One of those big blue water barrels.

Now, believe it or not, you can do this in five minutes, just walk in, fire your gun into a box of cereal or whatever to make everyone either get the fuck down, or help you load the vehicle while you point guns at them.

Step four: Now you have everything you need, or at least you won't need anything for a while. Go to the nearest forest or massive park or whatever and live there. clear out all the trees around your camp so that you can be seen from the air, guaranteed. Now, set up your tents and dig trenches around them a couple feet deep, lined with pungie sticks.(Evil wooden spikes, like in Vietnam.) Now, from those fallen trees, cut the wood into logs and split them, stacking them like Jenga blocks near the firepit, so that they dry quick. While constructing your firepit, make sure it's a firePIT. Meaning it's at least a couple feet deep and concave, so nothing will roll out or catch on fire. For water, you can either dig a small hole in the ground, and put a cup/bowl/pot in the hole with plastic wrap or something waterproof over top of the hole. Put weights of some kind on the edges of the wrap, to keep it there, but leave some slack, so that it is weighed down in the middle, over the cup. put a stone that's lighter than any one weight you used to hold the wrap there in the middle over the cup. Do this just before nightfall, and in the morning, the condensation will have provided you with a small amount of CLEAN water. Food is easy, use the fire mostly, and use the gas grill for anything that needs to be cooked with more precision. Plant those seeds as fast as you can! Tomatoes are easy to grow and are also 80% water. Cucumbers, watermelons and other stuff like that is good for water content too, and will give you essential vitamins and nutrients, and the leftovers can be composted. you can also go hunting and fishing, although that might be risky. You should be secluded enough to not encounter zombies in large numbers, but you will be found by the army or whatever is flying above you. You should also have enough renewable supplies and whatnot to survive, and if you run out of wood in your immediate area, take a buddy and go get some with your truck.

so, any suggestions?
