great idea, but what about the windows???? most old school buildings have no A/C too, so you'd have to ventilate it. with the windows closed, or boarded, that would be difficult.

they said HIGH windows, no boarding or additional vents needed... Think like gym type.

My personal choice for a living environment would be a hospital that has already been looted. There might still be some basic first aid supplies still around. You could demolition the stairs on the first and second floor so that nothing can get up unless you allow it. Hospitals have gas powered generators and full security systems so you can stay warm/cool and keep an eye on your environment. Full kitchens for cooking and food storage. They usually have multiple floors and helicopter landing pads for rescue/evacuation. They also provide plenty of beds.
As for weapons, I'll take a few swords and a baseball bat for close combat. A couple of Glocks and a 12 guage shotgun for medium range. Last a nice hunting riffle and/or bow for food in the future.

Thats what i am here for (others amusement)as for your plan i like it! risky and not very much trouble to acomplish though i would go with a deepfreezer, more comfy for sleeping
like the deep freezer idea. Im assuming the zombies will be stupid and wont make the connection that Fridge locked=food inside
and instead just pass on by. and by design a fridge/freezer is meant o keep smells in and from entering so they wouldnt be able to follow their nose

thats true till you put your vents in unless you have like a scooba tank or something then you will just fill it up with Co2, so either way i think vents would be a must.

If i weren't already married i would totally ask you to marry me on principal of this post alone...
though i do love this idea and thought process, i do have a question. How would you secure the doors and windows would you just move to a higher floor and leave the lower for the Zombies that get in? or are you just going to baracade everything and keep it all for you and your loved ones?

they're also air-tight by design, so you wouldn't be able to breathe once you're locked inside

LOL I appreciate that, but I think your proposal would upset too many women.
I think you would have to barricade a certain portion of the building to prevent zombies from getting to the generators (probably in the basement) and the kitchen (also in a lower level). I do think both could be accomplished with a certain amount of demolition and heavy objects (cars and trucks possibly). The first floor would be lost pretty quickly and the lower portions of the stairwell would have to be collapsed on themselves to prevent anyone from entering and going up or down. Once the generator(s) are working the service elevators can be used for trips to the basement floors. Ideally the hospital would be in an area with other buildings close by and travel between buildings could eventually be accomplished via the rooftops. It would also be ideal that a library be close by.
I think the real problem, beyond the zombies, is the same problem that you would face in any apocalyptic event. There will be people looking out for themselves at the cost of anyone and everyone around them. While the idea that a community could be established in any environment you find yourself is very appealing and pretty ideal I think the real problem, once the zombies are manageable, is the other survivors. There will be plenty of people that would rather rob you blind and kick you to the curb than work together to survive. This would make accepting or being involved with other survivors very difficult and somewhat dangerous.

Kind of like moderating a forum. ... .. .

Though i like the complament and thank you but i think my wife would be about the only one
as for the last part with people robbing other people i totally agree and am surprised no one thought of it sooner. hell people do that now and the world isn't as bad as it could be during a Zombie Apocalypse. For this i am already a bigger huy. 6'1" 230 lbs so not many people try to pick fights with me. though i do have a name to suggest that i was brought up in the country. Colt Wrangler Dakota Inman (and i would have signs posted so people knew who i was) that way they would see that and be like oh Sh!t he musta grown up shooting a lot and will shoot me if i mess with him.
and they would be very correct... and yes that is my real name.
If my buddy CastleAnthrax ever gets back on this thread he can verify if anyone questions it
But in all actuality i would get a group together of people that i could trust and appoint someone else to be in charge while i pull the strings from the back ground so i can stay alive longer for my daughter and wife

Thing about the midwest is you can pick off the zombies from miles away. Food is easily growable, providing you put yourself in an area with moderate rainfall. As for ammo? You will run out. Build yourself a crossbow, use sticks and bones and shit(not literally:/) for ammo, then when you can, venture to civilization, find ammo, find survivors who are uninfected and go back. Make sure to take your whole party, and anything that would attract an infected so you are not overwhelmed when you return. One of my friends said he would go to a Boy Scouts camp in New Mexico, I can't quite remember what it's called, but it's supposed a huge, flat, barren, lifeless area with lots, and lots of gun, ammo, and food and water. Another good way to go, settle on the lower west coast of America(Or the lower east cost of Asia), stay a little while building up supplies, then build a ship(not a boat, a huge ship for sailing), sail it across the ocean and find yourself a nice tropical island with lots of life and no human settlement. No people, no contact, no zombies! (Unless the zombies are created using necromancy, but that's a whole different girl). Food will be plentlyful, you can get water using rainfall, in island freshwater bodies, purifying the ocean water, or a combination of the three. The food would come from the various fruit on the islands. Also, bring all kinds of seeds, and a few species of animals. Rabbits for breeding for food, dogs or company(even if you venture out in a party), tamed birds for conversation, cows for milk and meat, horses for transportation, and, other people (endless possibilities.). Make sure you bring your loved ones and friends so that being so worried doesn't make you sick. A zombie apocalypse is also a great time to express you feelings for someone if they don't already know it.
Hope this doesn't make me sound creepy, if it does, I'm sorry, but that post made you sound so sexy, OTD IMO

Unless they are a zombie.
I'll say thanks, but I don't know if I'll go along with the sexy. lol I guess if survival and guns turn you on.....
it is kind of intriguing that in a zombie apocalypse, she considers "having plenty of beds" a pro worthy of attention
Well, who else is going to run the post apocalyptic brothel?

What if the zombie virus is sexually transmitted?

then you should not have sex... is this really that hard???? it's like the horror where you say "don't!" and they do! but if they hadn't, they wouldn't have.... jebus wth?

I think it would be short lived. Not enough people crazy enough to have sex with a zombie for it to spread.

now, if it were transmitted ONLY by sex (exchange of fluids) then, humans are EF'd .... imo

Not really. There are a number of barrier style contraceptive devices on the market now and there would be even more if this was the case. As for reproduction, we have labs that can take care of that. There would be a lot of adjusting, but I think the human race would get by just fine.
