Seems to me you really need to stick to friends/family/loved ones to have a reason to stay alive in the first place... lol good point. i'd think that willingly being eaten and turned into a zombie yourself is preferable to living out the last days of your life in fear. it's like entering cold water, better to do it quickly instead of standing there slowly entering while looking like a tard.
Idk, I'd atleast try to check on my best friends/girlfriend (if I had one - forever alone haha) before executing the survival plan and try to get a small group of people (2-10 seems like a good idea) with me. Gives you something worth fighting for :D

I don't think anyone suggests going solo is the best way. However my family lives several hundred kilometers away. There is simply no hope to unite in the case of the Apocalypse.
When it comes to strangers with little or no emotional bonds: There is bound to be drama that'll get you eaten. The Walking Dead is an exceptionally well series that focuses on the problems men create for themselves when they are stuck in a desperate situation. It's questionable whether the advantages of being a group outweigh the drawbacks of inter-human drama.
If you are in a situation where you have dependable people to survive with though, then obvisouly that is better than going all by yourself.

Query: If I slay a zombie and eat it, do I qualify as a cannibal?

According to most Zombie lore, you will qualify as dead.

Don't worry I hate drama too. Let's kill more zombies (or avoid them).

Does anyone know any good zombie apocalypse fiction? I've watched Walking Dead,
Read Word War Z and one diary style book about a marine surviving with an engineer.

While I found Zatic's plan intriguing and well reasoned, I am not sure if the the advantages of being on a ship outweigh the risks of a 8-10 hour travel on roads and fighting for a ship on the harbour (everyone will try to go for the sea). Also you can easily underestimate the effects of weather and overestimate the options for food on sea.
Accurate knowledge about weapons, food and medication will be very important.
But most important will be in depth knowledge about the options in your area. Of course you will avoid going for supermarkets, malls, hospitals and police stations or even the army. For example a lot of business parks have huge storage buildings with the company's products. Most people don't know that in there are huge amounts of food stored in these buildings. They will go for the super markets, you will go for one of these storage buildings. Make sure, you pick a building which suits your needs the most. So it will need to have some easy defendable rooms from where you can gain access to the food. Also these kind of buildings are more likely to sustain zombie attacks than the neigbours house. Zombie attacks will be highly unlikely aswell, because most people won't be in these business areas. Some will go home to take care of their familys others will head for the mountains/sea, but no one wants to stay at his working place while the apocalypse is going down.

28 days later & 28 weeks later if you haven't seen those yet; they're about the fast, raging, crazy type of zombies with an easily spread virus (even just a drop of blood is enough to infect, and the zombies randomly puke blood all the time)
especially the first one is about the scariest movie I've ever seen (even though I don't watch much horror at all) because of the realism, lack of epic music etc

Hand to hand combat.
I'm nice like that.

Read The Walking Dead, the graphic novel series. It is most excellent.
Zombieland is a very good movie as well - more on the fun side, however the protagonist takes a very reasonable approach to Zombieland and his survival list is very good.
The Zombie survival guide, although it is less fun to read than WWZ.
Of course there are the various classic Zombie movies. I enjoyed Planet Terror of the more recent ones, although that is a pure fun movie and not a good educational piece.
Almost forgot the Resident Evil series. Especially the first one is an excellent zombie movie I think.

Add Shaun of the Dead in there as a good movie, and High School of the Dead was an ok anime about zombies

these are basically the same design of weapons that I have.
I live in Alaska and honestly think that we could handle something like this. People up here are tough and most people own a gun or guns. People up here know for the most part how to use guns. There are also 4 large military bases and many other military installations.

I've got the entire armory of the military base I'm stationed at, does that count?

Survival Plan for WW
I'd pack my shotgun and my dads H&K pistol + silencer, lots of food, ammo, water and warm clothes in a big backpack.
As I live in Norway in a very, very small town close to the mountains, we always have supplies laying around the house for long hiking trips into the wilderness.
We also happen to own a hunting cabin far out in no mans land. It takes approximately 6-7 hours to get the to cabin from the closest parking space, so I reckon that should be pretty safe at least in the early stages of a zombie apocalypse.
The cabin does not have electricity, but it a stove,
and its close to a small river so I should be covered on the hydration front, and its loaded with canned food, soup, and army style food rations.
There should be game to hunt around there as well as places to fish.
The only issue I can think of is that I doubt I'll be the only one to head out there :/
Edit, that header didn't come out right ^^
