The Rockies. There’s already a low population in a lot of areas, millions of acres set aside as wilderness, fresh water and game, wood, steep terrrain, fire lookouts/ranger cabins/cabins/abandoned mines. Winter show would also slow/hinder zombies and make for an easier kill. The downside is that I know I wouldn’t be the only one and the main threat would be all the other backcountry survivalists heading for the hills and defending their resources.
I choose to secure all of North America.
hold up
And a bone apple tea to you!
Unless their hold is in their castle!
a 1950s school building. they were built like castles. have wide open lawns and high towers. windows were at least a story above grade, and the glass had that mesh embedded inside.
any windows or doors that are at grade can easily be barricaded or already are with high grade steel cages.
bonus if there’s an internal courtyard that can be used as a field for growing crops, water retention area, and just an outdoor exercise area.
schools already have a cafeteria and kitchen, showers, fitness and entertainment, first-aid and medical, an entire library, science/biological labs. many schools have also been retrofitted with solar panels as well.
a school is really the best place to hold up for any kind of natural disaster.
any, I’m gonna say the Fortress of Solitude from Superman
Any location? An automated Oneill cylinder.
Nuclear powered carrier ship in the middle of the ocean.
You’re goods run out of supplies eventually.
You know how to run those?
I bet there’s a manual somewhere on the ship.
Yeah probably, it’s only thermonuclear science
How hard can it be?
A shopping mall, so I can pick up a flashlight, duct tape some jewelry on it and use it as a lightsaber
There was a movie/TV show where the character was hunkered down in a wind turbine. Always thought it was a clever idea.
I got an old abandoned insane asylum on the top of a hill next to a naturally occurring spring kinda near me. You really couldn’t ask for a better location. Farm on the roof.
A bridge. Destroy the entrance on both sides, build a draw bridge in its place. This is assuming youre not worried about human enemies, which are always the real threat.
Assuming zombies are incapable of any higher reasoning, somewhere only accessible by climbing up a ladder or rope.
It works in PZ, it might work IRL.
Climbing or swimming. Steal a luxery yacht and some solar panels, soil, and seeds, and you have a floating homestead.
Read The Zombie Survival Guide for why water isn’t much of a hinderance to zombies.
Zombie Survival Guide
I assume floating, like a corpse? That’s far from swimming though. Also, to get into a ship you generally need to climb a ladder too. It being on the water means it can move though, so you can change locations when needed.
Lemme grab my sledgehammer.
Look, I need to spend my efforts on the toxicity and climate collapse apocalypse. I would WELCOME zombies at this point.
Just any yard with a distinct lack of my milkshakes really.
An island? Seems like a great way to isolate yourself from the masses
I don’t know, the old zombie flick ‘Shock Waves’ (1977)… Not typical zombies but it made the island approach seem a little less viable to me. It’s still better than my default choice of a mall.
World War Z, the book, proved this wrong.
