zombie outbreak possible?

I find it fascinating that zombies are no longer scary to our culture, so much so to the point that people prefer a zombie apocalypse over other ways our civilization might be annihilated. Good thing I'm in Alaska, where the weather is cold and guns are plentiful.

I have seen 30 Days of Night, Alaska isnt as safe as you think it is.

I have a Zombie Apocalypse Incident Response Plan I had to do for a class professionally printed and bound just in case... Seriously, I am prepared.

HA! It's a word doc and on my work PC. I will try and remember to grab it and post it here but the formatting would be shot.

Basic Summary: It involves taking over a Wal-Mart (by force if necessary) and procuring gas from cars in the parking lot to keep generators going as long as possible to keep as much perishable food good for as long as possible. I chose Wal-Mart as pretty much anything you need (guns, food, camping supplies, etc.) and more will be inside and it can easily be converted to a near zombie proof fortress. It would also be a bastion for trade in a post zombie apocalyptic society. The plan is just response to the initial incident. The next stage would be moving somewhere that is not very populated and starting a new life. It was for an Information Security class and I had fun with it :)

Again, I will try and remember to post it here tomorrow.

I think a costco would be better :p I do believe costco sells guns? and they have cars inside of the place and plenty of supplies to make some kind of bad ass war truck.

i havent seen any guns for sale at the costcos here in california but its no a bad idea. costco is just one big warehouse filled with food and goods (including solar panels) AND a gas station. so not a bad alternative to walmart. the only problem i can see is keeping out everyone who also thinks it would be a good idea to shack up at a walmart. first come, first serve i guess.
 
my boyfriend is obsessed with the idea of a zombie apocalypse. he wants this book really bad: Amazon.com: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Zombies (9781451641578): Matt Mogk: Books

pretty sure i'm gunna get it for him for christmas. if it were to happen i would head to the mountains, for sure! mt baldy looks good right about now, haha. also, do you think headed to a super humid place such as louisiana would be a good idea? would their bodies break down easier with all the moisture in the air?

also, supposedly zombies have the same strengths as normal humans. with that being said...why wouldn't you just wrap your clothes in duct tape? there's no way they would be able to bite through that stuff..normal humans certainly can't.
 
The problem we don't know how zombies operate. When a person dies, rigor mortis sets in, so that supports the lumbering zombie. However, Boss, I believe you are correct in assuming that zombies wouldn't have any abnormal strength unless otherwise granted as a result of the infection.

Let's not forget, a super virus that changes basic human design could be what happens on a zombie outbreak, and infection is passed by direct-to-bloodstream from a bite, or, worse, airborne. If we all wear metal armor, we should be okay though.
 
i would think some light chain mail or maybe some of the more sophisticated ballistic armor (dragonskin) would be helpful. but you have also to think of the trade off, i.e. weight/encumbrance versus agility (being able to run away from zombies quickly).
