What would you want in your safe house? And where would you want it to be? |
I don't know....a re-purposed missile silo or other 'out to pasture' facility that was sold on public auction ages ago (the more time between sales the better, keeps it off more people's radar)? I also like those privately owned communities only accessible by airplane (there must be a term for them). Either one, way up the fuck north with enough long term foodstuffs, survival gear and modern equipment and alternative energy (wind turbines/sails would be great along with solar panels and batteries) to do some reclamation after the dust clears (and the dead rot). |

I've always thought IF you were stuck in a city & IF it were close to other buildings, that an old school bank might be a good choice. Nice thick walls, designed to keep people out, only 1 way in ('course if they get in & you've got to way out yer fooked...). If you could access the roof & use it to get to other buildings you'd be good. |

I would stay in familiar surroundings, like at my house for as long as I could. I have said it before I would die in my own home. I probably would stay here and go out and forge when I needed to. I live in a small community with lots of woods around us, there are two cemeteries bordering us. but, as I have been told before I wouldn't have to worry about zombies coming out of the ground if in GAR's universe they can't dig through the ground and coffin/vault. So, unless the recently dead weren't buried and in coffin/vaults the cemetery would be least of my worries. I would have to worry about pilfering food and water from houses and stores. If worse came to worse I could live off the land after awhile. Lots of hunters around here I am sure guns and ammo wouldn't be too much of a problem. But, again you can't get to cocky in a situation like zombies. Safety first! Double tap defo!! lol |
I agree with up north and the mountains. The fewer people the fewer zombies. Does everyone agree with zombies freezing? What about thawing out and continue to pursue prey? In any case it's easier to defend from a high position. |

Good question....maybe we are over thinking it and we should hole up in a graveyard. I think in GAR's universe only the dead above the ground come back. Get your shit and head to a big cemetery. |

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

What would you do anywhere? Eventually all your stuff will either run out or break. I'm thinking a graveyard is the last place most living people would frequent. |

my moms old house. super high windows. the lowest window is like 7 feet off the ground. or my old apartment i grew up in. two ways in and u gotta bust your ass to get to both. idk.......if i had to choose, maybe an old brick fire house? whoever said bank had the best idea. those things are sometimes made of solid stone. |

I agree with whoever said going north,but, also if you live in a small community on a hill with woods all around sounds good to me. That is where I live,big enough to forge, small enough to survive me thinks! I really would stay where I am at the more I think of it the better it sounds to me. Sure I am thinking people here prob hold up here and possibly ban together I would hope!! The houses here are far enough apart that if someone got infected would be easy to stay away from them. Yeah, I have wayyyy too much time on my hands! lol |
