I want to join the boat sanctuary!! maybe we could reason with the zombies, and they could eat fish brains instead of our brains?

I think I would be mostly useless during a zombie apocalypse, so I'd just be wearing a hoodie and sweats. I would make good bait?

I am legend, has actually influeced the zombie genre. in the book, they were more like vampires I believe. a pandemic of some sort caused the people to mutate into the vampire things.

Last man on earth they were vampires. The Omega Man they were more like crazy mutants, maybe along the the lines of the Crazies (another Romero film). I am legend they were also more vampiric (and when you think about it, a possible sure for an horrible diseae like cancer, could potentially have side effects. how scary is that. no more cancer, but everyone becomes some undead thing?) In I am omega they are more like zombies.

In the will smith version the dogs name is Marley. The leson we learn from this is you have keeps your wits about you. You lose it you risk your dog dying. Now if we had a situation like this happen atleast we got Will frickin Smith on our side. He's a smarty pants doctor who will eventually come up with a cure, and he kicks butt, and he aint bad to watch while he's working out.

I don't understand how one day people just wake up from being down. Like how? But I guess that's why everyone wakes up from comas in the movies Etc BC they don't know either. I was thinking about it last night. What if I wake up and my roommates are undead?!

Zombie origins: How will the ZA gegin? Who knows. Luckily we have had movies, books, comics, videogames, ect. to help us figure it out.

There could be a plague of some sort that will cause the breakout that willl lead us to zombie takeover. a virus (think resident evil t-virus), a mutated already exsiting pathogen (think quarantine and the new form of rabies that turn infected people into crazied zombies), or a parasite (think The Dicrocoelium dendriticum, yes this is a real parasite, google it. did you google it? scary right? image it mutating to be able to control humans.)

One of the major causes of bringing on the ZA is govt experimentation. Just like in all the return of the living dead movies, that gov could bring about the Z-day. How did 28 days later begin? when scientist were genectically altering "rage".

There are also a possibily of alien forces at hand, think night of the comet or night of the creeps. Both ZA are caused by alien intervention.

There could also be a demon virus that will lead to the "possessed" biting and creating zombies. the only ones who will be able to save us in the vatican. Think REC (Quarantine is the american remake)

no matter the cause the result is still the same. you get bit, you get infected. so dont get bit!

But what does matter is how it can be transmitted besides being bit. the walking dead, we are already infected. we just dont become zombies until we die. 28 days later, we can die and know we wont become like one of those crazied ragers. shaun of the dead tells us even if we become a zombie we can still have a happy life, if we have someone to lock us in the shed and play videogames with us, like a best friend.

After hearing about the Zombie haunted house in (or just outside of) Atlanta, I am so going next year and calling it practice.

You tour through a hospital that shows you how the ZA began, leave the hospital and walk a large wooded area full of zombies, and then you tour a 100 room zombie infested motel. The whole thing is $30. For an additional $30, you get to go back through the motel with paint guns. YES!!!

I was suppose to do the run for your lives zombie run this year, but my sister really wanted a halloween party. so I will practice some other way.

Fifi.G

RFYL looks like so much fun. My zombie loving friends and I have talked about doing that for a couple of years now. Are any of us runners? Oh no. We only run if something is chasing us... Perfect. Lol

Well I don't own any cargo parts so it looks like I will have a great excuse to wear my (knockoff) Gucci Fanny pack :-)

Even during a dire time such as a zombie attack I'm pretty sure any fanny pack should be illegal to carry.

I've decided that I'll never get down to my original weight, and I'm OK with that--After all, 8 pounds 2 oz. is just not realistic.

i was just going to say basic black because black goes with everything!

but y'all have thought of this FAR beyond what i would've, so i'll just join CE in hiding on the boat and being generally useless.

Food and water

Water: each person will need a gallon of water a day. thats alot. you can get some water from the canned foods you should have stored, but it wont be enough to survive. thats where those water purifying tablets comes into play. you can also use iodine or bleach , just not so much you poison yourself, about a tablespoon per gallon. if you end of on a boat in teh middle of the ocean, dont drink the water straight up. but you can dilute it with fresh clean water to make it spread. it will becaome more of an electrolyte drink.

food: you can live alot longer without food then water, but when you are running for your life, calories burn quick and you need to replemish. mre's are a good option and they dont taste that bad. you can also get those calorie bars packed with 1000's of calories. dried fruits adn nuts may seem like a good choice, but its not. dried fruit has lots of suger. too much sugar sould led to a crash later, you diont what the crash to happen right before the zombies bust donw the door. and nuts are a no go because people can have nut allegies. and you may not have one now, but you can develope one. do you really want to deal with a nut allergy? freeze dried foods are a good option adn they have a long shelf life. canned foods are a great option, but can be heavy adn weight you donw, remember to travel light. learning to hunt can vastly improve your chances of not starving to death. hopefully you will be able to make it somewhere safe where you can perhaps grow crops. so having some seeds on hand wont hurt.

iroc

That was immediately what I thought of too!

And yes how could I forget 28 Days and 28 Days Later?!!

I never saw The Crazies, but was that zombie genre?

Same thing with Chernobyl, which I haven't seen yet but get the feeling its zombie-ish.

It would be great storage the the essentials: Bullets, matches/lighter, water purification tables, small knife. I can keep my essentials close.

The crazies is another film by Romero. Its about a gov war agent being used on a town. everyone infected either dies or becomes homicidal. Not zombies in the traditional sense. kinda like 28 days "zombies" arent really zombies. but its still really good and scary. there's an original and a remake. try them both.

I havent seen the chenobyl dairies. I think the chenobyl incident is scary enough without zombies.

and I forgot to mention about food. fishing can be another means of survival.

yeah. i cried doing that whole stupid movie!!! i couldnt even listen to bob marley with out tearing up!

when i hear fanny pack i see this:
