Default My zombie survival plan

Basically, I have a small room with a fairly small door and an even smaller window
I've been thinking about 'zombie survivaling' for quite some time and even made my own drawings at school (cause of boredom)
And since other people posted their zombie survival plan and all, I decided to make my drawings in photoshop and to show them to you guys
(note, I suck @ drawing in photoshop)


On the left is what my room looks like at this point, on the right is what it would look like if I barricaded my room.
Basically I put my closet between my bed and the door so the door is impossible to open.
Then I put my desk in front of my window to block the window from opening, even tho it can only be opened from the inside, also the desk blocks anyone from looking into my room


This is what the outside looks like , watching from above
The only way you can access my room is by the roofs and you can NOT climb onto roof 3 from the ground, unless you have a ladder and you can NOT jump from roof 2 to roof 3.
You will only be able to get on the roofs by the containers next to roof 1 and to cross from 2 to 3, you WILL need the wooden planks to cross it (unless you're a fkn hunter, but that's no option here)
Also, roof 4 is the roof of a huge shop/store, If I'm in danger I can easily escape through roof 4 which gives me access to alot of other roofs from surrounding houses

I can also access the store through the roof, inside the store is also food and alot of usefull equipment (think of chainsaws, hammers, handyman materials etc)

Sorry for any bad english, my original plan is all in dutch so I roughly translated it :3

Kind of a small house, but it's all good, less room for less zombies. And I do have a DVDPlayer. But, I live on a third floor of an apartment complex so..Yeah. But my balcony thing is right over a pool, so I could just dive for my life...Despite not being able to swim..

All this zombie survival talk has made me realize... I'm screwed in case of an outbreak! I mean, I have a very secure metal door into my room, but no way to block the window and no alternate escape other than out of said window, which just drops me onto the concrete below...

...at least I can swim? :P

I don't know how to swim, but I live in Florida. LOL. I never learned because we never had a pool or our neighbors never had any pools.
But I can atleast tread water. And I can usually walk through any pool. Being over 6 foot has it's perks.

I just recently found this out, but it turns out there's a fallout shelter inside a community center a block away from my house. After a while, if the road is completely clear, ill drive there. If not, ill take my bike. Im not sure what id do after that though.

Locking yourself up in a secure place seems like an alright idea... but no matter what you will eventually need to leave to find food/water. That's the part that I'm not sure about. I only have enough food for a couple days, and if the water is turned off I'm screwed...

While our ground level has many large glass windows and sliding doors (a pitfall of Australian climatic architecture) we do have a second level and attic with only 1 stairway. we also are missing a back and front fence (havent gotten them replaced.

So I'm kinda screwed but I do have a few plans. Main one is barricading our hallway and dining room with furniture, destroying the stairs (if possible), fill all water containers. funny thing is we have a decent amount of ammunition ( 150 shells, admittedly its birdshot, but better than nothing) but no shotgun (if i could afford it, I'd get my rifle licence.

We do have some compound bows and filed point carbon fibre arrows. not much but it'll do. other than that there's not much else I can think of.

There would most likely be a lot more than one trying to open it though.

How thick is the door as well, might be able to beat it down.

EDIT: Scratch that!

So... barricading yourself in your room which I have to assume is in the middle of a resedential area? Then waiting for dozens of infected to try and get in through your fairly good although VERY TEMPORARY barricade? And THEN trying to get out, with dozens of the things after you?

Dude, you're so dead no matter how good the barricade is. You have to think more outside of your room... for example you wont even need a barricade in the middle of nowhere because there would be next to no zombies!

Get out of cities to a remote place. Period. Or you're dead no matter what you do.

I live in a small town, not a city
and my room is on the 1st floor so I could easily burn/break down the stairs, making it impossible to reach my room

But you can't live up there forever.

For me, my zombie survival plan is to run like hell in any direction where i don't see zombies, LOL.

Small towns are just as bad. The difference between 1 million zombies and 5 thousand zombies is immaterial when even 5 or 6 are sprinting after you. And stairs take hours and hours of VERY NOISY work to take down. Good luck doing that unnoticed.

Best thing is to gear up, supply up and get as far away from civilisation as possible, as soon as possible. Mess about with flimsy barricades and short sighted escape plans in the middle of civilisation and you're dead before you begin.

Small town supermarket. All infected would die in time. You just need to wait long enough...and keep your sanity.

My house is pretty secure, and i live in a small town. But it would be a tomb, without food or running water.

The only problem with supermarkets are the giant windows. But back rooms are pretty secure. But my infected plan rely's on stealth.

Now if they are Zombies, (undead, and will exist forever regardless) then they win. I mean, I'll go down swinging, but it's a matter of time, and time would be on their side.

My zombie survival plan as follows:

1. Load up all my weapons with all the ammo I have. (A lot.)
2. Me and my fiance keep moving.
3. Gather living friends and loved ones.
4. KEEP MOVING!

Develop a way to cook well walking.

Find some rolling flat hills with low grass.

Walk forever.

I can have loads of sleep in my barricade
and there's food in the store right next of me
(there's also a gate infront of this store that I can close from the inside, so they can't entire it, except from the back, but that'll be barricaded 2 ^^
