As for me, lucky that I live near an actual army barracks, although I'm sure there will be tons of other people going in that direction too... | ||

Yupp, you best chance is to make for the opposite direction of the army base as fast as possible. The gates of that barracks will be the surest death trap you can find. Trigger happy army guards and a healthy mix of desperate, panicked survivors and already infected. GG. | ||

You don't need a lot to survive, even your scrappy student household should have enough to last you a week. DO NOT go to the supermarket. Don’t take canned food. Too much water, too heavy. Go for candy bars and chocolate. I feel like candy bars would burn you out too fast and be space inefficient (Practically speaking you are going to bike/move stuff you won't have the space rather than the weight load). There are definitely energy dense foods and meal bars that are light, nutrient heavy, and overall space efficient. This is more important if you plan to be on the move a lot which will be the majority of people who don't live near or can utilize difficult terrain (And water for that matter) to their advantage. If you plan to stay still the durability and longevity of cans is a huge deal. | ||

And yeah, don't get regular food, raid a police station or military base for food rations, they are space savers and last a long time. | ||

why does everyone say to head to the coast and try to survive on sea? To me, completely uneducated when it comes to surviving apocalypses, it would seem like a much better idea to grab a hiking backpack, stuff it with food and water, grab a tent & baseball bat and head for the mountains, preferably set up camp somewhere near a fresh water source (there's plenty of small rivers I suppose). With any luck you'll have a handfull of friends with you to not go completely insane. There's no way zombies are gonna travel like 50km+ into the middle of nowhere in harsh terrain and usually cold weather. The only problem I haven't been able to figure out, granted I'd be able to get into the situation described above, is food  The only options seem hunting, fishing, gathering berries/roots/herbs or growing own crops; I have no clue how to do either. I guess I should break into a library of some sorts to find information on this? Lol I'm so dead if it ever comes to this... | ||

That's about as far as my zombie knowledge goes. | ||

I plan to hide in my giant mansion behind a locked door that you need to solve tons of puzzles to open up. First you need to collect a set of three sigils: a star, a moon and a sun sigil. Then you place them into a fountain that then pushes my old grandpa clock that then opens a door that has a big valve behind it. Then by turning the valve you gain accesss to the sewers. After defeating the giant snake you get a key that will open the door to my hiding place. | ||

That, and there is still a considerable risk to run into the infected. If they are of the type that wanders around searching for food eventually there will be some in the mountains too. Still, remote mountains are an excellent inland choice, if you have a way to secure a steady food supply. The sea option is just so attractive because of the virtual immunity from zombies and the possibility to raid the shores for supplies from relative safety. | ||

everyone claims it's better to go solo, every-man-for-himself style. But what the hell is the point in that? Why would you want to live the remaining decades of your life in solitude, ocasionally killing a zombie here and there? You might aswell commit suicide the moment the outbreak occurs then (assuming it's a full on apocalypse and not the kind you can wait out). Seems to me you really need to stick to friends/family/loved ones to have a reason to stay alive in the first place... | ||
