The primary exception of course is if you're in dire need of supplies that can't be obtained on your own.
After the zombies are gone the world will still be in disarray as people struggle for dominance in their respective regions. Until everything has completely settled down (or settled down as much as you think it will) it'd probably be best to stay out of sight and out of earshot as much as possible.

I'd think that you'd be low/out of supplies in an extended bunker-up and if the military came, you'd probably be pretty desperate for supplies.

I'd think that you'd be low/out of supplies in an extended bunker-up and if the military came, you'd probably be pretty desperate for supplies. If you're in an urban area then it'd be pretty hard to survive completely on your own (I'm referring to a small group as a single entity, I don't literally mean that you're on your own) I'd agree. However I'd ideally prefer to live out somewhere deep in the wilderness away from most humans. Out there it's pretty simple to find the necessary items to survive (food, water, and shelter), while having low risk of a large zombie population. However if the zombie outbreak lasts long enough that the urban centers become completely abandoned and the zombies are forced to spread out to find food, then this becomes a lot less safe.
Although if you can't reach the deep wilderness or you'd rather not risk it, the zombie survival guide suggests that you ask yourself these questions when picking out a place of residence.
+ Show Spoiler +
1. Is there a wall, fence, or other physical perimeter?
2. How many potential entrances/exits are there?
3. Can the people in your party simultaneously defend each fence and exit?
4. Is there a secondary defensive position? Multiple floors? An attic?
5. Can the building be easily secured?
6. Is there a potential escape route?
7. What is the supply situation?
8. Is there a water line?
9. If needed, are water and tools available?
10. Are materials available to reinforce the entrances?
11. What about means of communication: phone, radio, internet (unlikely), etc?
12. Given all these factors, how long could your group survive a prolonged siege?

Why does EVERY end game survival strategy happen to not include a section on how to get drinkable water? I seriously don't get it. 25 paragraphs about secondary stuff and then "Water. Duh". Yeah duh. How are you going to get water? From the supermarket? How much do you figure you can carry? How long is it going to last? What are you going to do then? Wait for rain? What if you live in Southern California, like most people? Say you are lucky enough to live somewhere where actual rivers still exist. How long till the rivers will be poisoned by the bodies of the infected? EVERY end game survival guide should start with: Water - this is ALL you need to think about. How to get a lasting, reliable source of drinking water must be your no 1 priority, everything else is laughably unimportant. Half your guide should be about how to secure water. Learn how to locate underground water. Acquire equipment. Learn drilling. Acquire drilling equipment. Prepare a well at your save house. And at your backup house. Learn about filtering water. Learn how to save rain water. It is all about getting water. If you know how to drill for drinkable water you will be end game king. All wannabe survivors who are locked up, stocked with food and armed to the teeth will look pretty stupid after a week of shooting up zombies.
zatic i think you're making too many water drones to set yourself up for a good late game position, what good is water drones vs a zombie zealot rush?
Obviously, surviving against a zombie outbreak needs macro water management and micro management.
protip: play more bw.

The Romero Zombie
The Romero zombie is slow, dumb, and not too powerful. Their main power is in numbers and this is how you should fight them. You should stock your safe house full of weapons that can do mass carnage - namely, lots of explosives. Grenades, rocket launchers, C4, RPG’s, napalm, land mines, they all work. The next thing on your list should be should be flamethrowers and fully automatic guns (machine guns, assault rifles, SMG’s, etc…).
No. The LAST thing you'll want, is to use a flamethrower or molotov coctails on zombies against Romero-class zombies. These zombies are stone dead without nerves, they wouldn't be hindered by the flame aside from them burning apart given enough time.
A horde of zombies is bad - a horde of BURNING zombies is worse.

Depends on which part of the zombie/s you hit with your blast of napalm. Anyhow, it'll undoubtably spread to other zombies, meaning you'll have a shambling horde with burning arms and legs tearing at your hideout wall in no time.

How do zombies react to cold temperatures ?
I can easily imagine a safe place in some arctic or super-northern place (if you have wood, it would be better -> for fire).
Infinite water (ice), and you can fish/hunt for food.
Even if zombies don't care about cold temperatures, these areas aren't usually very populated, so there shouldn't be many zombies, right ?

i see you've read World War Z.

According to the survival guide it's incredibly safe for travel, and if you're up somewhere that has freezing temperatures even in summer, then it's an ideal place for humans to settle. The only dangers are ones that you'd face even without the threat of zombies.
Although if you're in an area that thaws out during spring, then be careful. It may be safe during the winter months, but once it gets warmer zombies can come back to life.

I'm still waiting for the day zombies overrun the earth :D

Yes! Read this if you're hip to the zombie apocalypse stuff:

Cold freezing climate is definitely the safest place imo for zombies. Once the sun goes down for a prolonged period of time though the vampires come and kill you and there is NO way u can survive vampires without the sun. Fuck the apocolypse.

I thought vampires had no hot blood and needed the sun heat to stay warm, just like zombies? Isn't that why they sleep at day, so their coffins get heat up by the sun light and consequently warming up the vampire's body while they sleep?

sucky and typical zombie guide of western culture.
best way to fight of hordes of zombie? go learn any of the martial arts that involves sword fighting, and i'm not talking about some pussy fencing shiz, watch some japanese samurai movies, learn them moves arm urself an old school japanese katana, light and effective for maximum gore. clad urself in some ancient roman or japanese or any kinds of armor that gives u effective protection against scratches and bites, and please don use european plate armors, they're far too clumsy and heavy.
come to think of it,y not jus invest in some APC or old tanks? like the old sherman tanks back in the 40's should be good enough to keep urself alive from any hordes of zombies...
