Zombie apocalypse is happening. You're a survivor. Motorized vehicles wont work for long. Roads will very likely be horribly jammed. Where do you go? What tools, equipment, supplies do you bring with you?

Road Master What would your chosen zombie weapon be?

Road Master Katanas, as far as I know, can be extremely sharp. My issue, is that it is generally agreed that in order to kill a zombie, you need to remove the head or destroy the brain. Removing a human head with a sword, even an extremely sharp one, is extremely difficult at best. Your aim has to be essentially perfect. It's extremely difficult to cut through all the muscle, tendons, sinew, and bone. The skull is thick and hard. There is a very big risk of not doing enough damage. But also, getting your blade stuck in the skull.

Road Master Reality is boring. I substitute it with my own.

Jojo That's exactly what I thought it was initially. Before having it properly explained to me.

Iman Um… I would keep a gun or something as a far distance weapon. And for close combat a dagger. Dried and canned foods. There’s a bunker by my house so I’ll camp down there. I’ll take a box of matches and a lighter. Water for drinking. By the bunker there’s a hose so I got hygiene covered. I own a portable heater. I’ll take my books down there. Y’all can struggle to get to safety. Ciao!

Iman Don’t ask why there’s a bunker by my house. I have no clue. Maybe the people that built it were ready for anything.

Iman Well you see, my friends think if any survival situation comes along I’ll die first. So oh well. I rather laugh than cry.

Road Master Why the pencil and paper?
Like
Michaela Marriner For mapping small scale towns, woods. Notes, to aide with remembering crucial things like a locker combos, addresses, important info learned along the way. A foraging book would be great too to keep from poisoning yourself on your quest for food.

Road Master Nice! I like it. A pencil and notepad wouldn't add much weight either.

Jazzlynn Minette Realistically, I’d give up and be in my phone waiting for a zombie to kill me but possibly something heavy to hopefully bash its skull like a mace or a hammer. I don’t think I could shoot a gun and be accurate and guns need bullets that would eventually run out. Would definitely carry a sling to at least distract zombies with stones I find on the road. Extra layers for protection and warmth and any canned food I can store in my backpack along with a flint.

Road Master Ooh! I like the sling idea. If you get good with it, they're deadly. Some ancient armies actually had entire regiments of slingers. Which is also fun to say.

Hailey Bring a crowbar. It can be used as a weapon AND it can also open doors and stuff, versatility 👍 zombies (supposedly) can't swim so find I'd find an island (tropical or not) and call that home 🏠 and since there's water, there's bound to be fish, so food! Maybe try to find some fruit/vegetable seed packets too to grow food aswell.

Road Master Now that's some good plannin. I love a good multifunctional tool.

Madison Aiello The honest answer is that I’d probably find a gun and off myself. But if I did decide to fight to survive there’s a military reserve base near my house with lots of weapons. I guess I’d go there and try to find supplies.
Like
Road Master Whether or not you want to stick around for this is something that every survivor would have to decide. The good thing is, I don't think it would last long. The military post is probably a good plan. They're probably the most likely to weather that particular storm.

☆Salem☆ I'd go to a hospital and absolutely raid the pharmacy. Do you know how to make natural penicillin? Probably not. During a zombie apocalypse most people would die from diseases and plagues more than a Zombie. I'd get rope, lighters, the small little jugs of gasoline for said fire, pads and tampons, and if I manage to get to a store I'm b-lining it to the camping and fishing section for weapons and basic survival supplies
Like
Road Master A good plan. My only concern there, is that I think a hospital might be absolutely overflowing with zombies.

Quinno Wuinno Hmm.. most times I’d say “go to the mountains” but if vehicles aren’t gonna do any good then maybe a grocery store or some kind? I’d board up the windows/ vents/ anything that can give them access. Also, whenever heading out (I’ve thought about this a lot) I would wear straight up armor so they can’t scratch/ bite me through it. I have a feeling I wouldn’t survive long though since I live out near LA 😅

Road Master Yeah, you're gonna have a hard go of it.
