die, of course ear, I want to be on the winning side.
HB, that was a good show, and their plan was a good idea...until it started raining...
As for actually surviving a zombie apocalypse, assuming you aren`t rigging the deck like ear just posted, and stick to the way most zombie movies go, either slow stumbling things, or ones that can run, until they start decomposing and can`t use tools, or really climb, then I`d have to say get somewhere like Costco, or another store or warehouse with steel you can climb up on that doesn`t have ladders, and board up the entrances. You have many supplies ranging from fruits and vegetables, which you can also collect seeds from to plant later, to tinned food that will last a while. You`ll have some basic medical supplies, and liquids, as well as tools with which you can fashion other items into something useful. I know the Costco near my place also has some generators, so that power would not be an issue, for a little while at least. Also, many items in the store can be turned into handy weapons for zombie bashing.
Have you and any other survivors in your group sleep on the levels above the floor, so that if zombies do break into the warehouse, your sleeping people won`t get wiped out before they can reach safety. Skylights can also be broken, and tarps hung under to collect water from rain after the bottled stuff runs out, as well as hanging an escape rope in the event that you really need to flee. The roof, if inaccessable from the ground, can also be used to scout the outside of the building, and, if possible, allow you to string up lines to other buildings to explore outside your refuge without compromising your defenses. If it can be gotten to from the ground, use the tools to remedy the situation.
Eventually, extermination parties, to lessen the zombie presence would be required, and fences could be built to extend the cleared area, hopefully giving you the area to plant the seeds from earlier.
