Easiest way to make progress is get on your knees and sort of scoot along, but it gets the hypothetical guy some pretty bad hypothetical scrapes.

I've actually figured out how to make an actual upright run work... it's difficult, but I've managed to keep it up for a full 20 meters.

Make that 32!!  I'll master this today.

Step one: Get a firearm with ammo.

Step two: Climb a large building.

Step three: Put the handgun to my head

Step four: Shoot self in head and land off of building.

What? It's better than being evicerated and eaten.

Fuck that, if I went depressed in the post-apoc world, I'd at least die in a blaze of glory. See: Blow up city block with explosives and incendiaries.

This is pretty much my plan, except with less building involved. Survival is too much trouble and it's not guaranteed the enemies will ever be defeated.

Best way for blaze of glory method would be to get one of those supertankers, float it into Zombie New York, get a really loud siren, wait until the zombies are absolutely surrounding the ship, then go boom. Like the L4D pipe bombs, but on a really big scale.

It's an opportunity to put your personal awesome to the test or die trying.  The only downside is that the scenario requires large numbers of people to die trying.

Unless you are dealing with the classic Romero kind, where it isn't a virus - the dead are simply getting back up. Everywhere. Now.

Except that isolated areas can often have just as many graves as anywhere else, as well as the fact that unless you're living over a necropolis, you've got a higher chance of finding something like a mass grave in rural areas than a city.

I'm in luck where I live if a zombie apocalypse were to occur.

Since it's essentially an island connected by a bridge or 2 (one's a flat drawbridge type (linked to a sub island with another sub island off it; and just on the mainland there is an old stone fort that has stood there for ages.), perfect for gateway; the other is a tall arching type, perfect for retractable rolling traps, and steep enough to slow zombies down), we can bottleneck zombie invaders that come in from the mainland, and take advantage of the river and ocean to trade for equipment and such as well as fish.

Not only that, but it's nearly a ghost town as long as it isn't Spring Break, Summer, NASA Launch, or Snowbird Season. Plenty other people in town are hardcore enough to withstand the ZA as well.

I think the best zombie survival strategy is to wear a full helmet (think: one of those things that the guys standing behind the man with the bat in baseball wear), and keep a cleaver on each hand at all times (consider strapping them with leather to ensure you don't lose them)

As I've been saying :)

And I have protective pants to go with that, too.  I've already survived an accident with that suit.  There's no way I could be scratched or bitten.  Just need a good weapon.

I always thought it would suck if you had to face zombies wearing ballistic helmets, like the new kind being developed that stop military rifle rounds.
