I suppose with the fortress you have in mind the numbers wouldn't be bad but there would have to be more supply runs.

Probably, but this is assumed over about a year of preparation. The year itself would be much harder than life when it's done. defending the territory, etc.

The location I would like is probably a beach or cliffs over the ocean, so you would have to defend only one side. Plus, cliffs could have makeshift elevators out of rope, etc, and beaches would have boat escapes if the disaster ever became unbearable.

Food? I think we'd manage. By the ocean we could fish a lot obviously, and... Can salt water be purified into drinking water? That's probably a stupid question, but i'm not sure. Defense would be easy too, i'll describe it after this topic's done.

Yes, salt water can be turned into drinking water but in quantities it would be questionable.

Ok, I see. Well, rainwater of course. By the ocean that isn't too difficult usually.

Snipers, electricity, and cleverly constructed walls and forts would be the defense mainly. For example, the main gate would be about 20 feet concave with the walls, so shooting zombies close to it would be extremely easy.

It would be easy to gather materials for solar power as well, not only that but generators and possible turbines controlled by wind or water too.

Great ideas! Wind and solar by the ocean is PERFECT. I like bike powered generators too, good way to stay fit and gain power.

soon every thing will be solar powered (more like 20 years or so)

Not everything no. There's tons of natural ways that are very effective, like wind turbines, mentioned above. Hydro electric could work in this situation too.

Um...they'll come out of the oceans too. No need for air, they'll walk along the bottom of the sea.

There is no surviving. That's why the zombie Armageddon is so scary. Death will win, it's winning right now, we are all the walking dead...every microsecond is a step toward your inevitable doom.

Of course we'll have to try to survive, it's hard wired into us. But there can be no victory over death.

Comforting, isn't it.

Yes this is true, it showed this in Zombi 2, and Land of the Dead.

You just crushed my hopes and dreams of defeating zombies! You sonofab! Way to ruin this thread ROD! :D

Edit:

My Zombie Surival Guide:

If an outbreak were to happen right now, I would take the gun I own with me get in my truck and fill it up, and fill my extra gas cans up. I would my closest friends, mom, and fiance, and tell them to get to my house. Have my friends swing by the store to get food, and beverages. I would then swing by the gun store and pick up more weapons and ammo. When I got home I would back the truck up as close to the roof of my porch as I could. I don’t think I would have the time to make a fort.

Some tools to gather up that are in the basement, air compressor, nail gun, drill, axe, nails, crow bar, a gas colemens(sp) grill(too cook) .

Since I have plywood, 2x4’s at the house already, I would start to board up the windows on the bottom the floor, and finish the door when the last person came through. I then would have everyone work together to move all of the furniture against the windows, and doors. I would leave the windows on the top floor open as that is easy access to shoot out of and escape to the truck if needed. After this is all done, I would have everybody move upstairs and I then would block off the stair case by building a wall with the 2x4’s and plywood. Hopefully with the weapons that we have, food and beverages, we could stop them, if not and I know I’m going down, taking a gun and inserting it into my mouth.

*wonders what renob would do*

that was my favorit part of the movie when they walked across the bottom of the ocean
