Shoot everything moving and loot everywhere?
I think the government would have something to say about that
Wait thats not business as usual?

ChrisWWII wrote:...How did they shoot down a rescue chopper, that's what I want to know.
According to what I remember from the CNN story...
Pilot was hovering over house getting ready to lower basket.... neighbors got pissed that they were not comming to them first.... they open fire and according to them "Trying to get the pilots attention" and the pilot panicked, lost control and then ended up as seen above a little ways away.
A police boat later "rescued" the shooters straight to jail.
Nobody was seriously injured in the crash thankfully.
I will simply leave a "please wait here" sign and some velvet rope leading away from my house and the pub.
The zombies [being of the British variety] will patiently queue tutting every now and then until such time as I deem fit to off them or am whishked away in a red helicopter to ChrisWWII's highland retreat until hunting season starts proper.

I thought Australia would be a stronghold.
From whom are unforgiven we bring the mercy of war.
Yeah, but it's kinda hard to get from the UK to Australia, especially if the zombie apocalypse has spread, and destroyed civilization as we know it. So, I'll settle for fleeing into the Highlands....should be safe enough there, as long as I have food supplies.

The trouble with really good anti-zombie fortresses is they tend not to let extra people in. What you need is a really bad anti-zombie fortress. The more the merrier!
But then the zombies can get in...doesn't that defeat the purpose of an anti-zom....oh I see what you did there. Clearly Soup and a roll is a zombie, and he's trying to get us to lower our defenses so he and his bretheren can take over the world without resistance!
I'M ON TO YOU!

Here's a question for all you Zombie fans. Would a proper island be a safe retreat? Can Zombie's swim? Or is walking across the seabed a viable path as well? Obviously no air in lungs so they won't float, but would they had enough motor skills to do this?
Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about his religion. Respect others in their views and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life. Beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.

an Island, in visable distance of another is the perfect retreat, you would want a fairly big island so there would be a source of fresh water and food.
semi-tropical would be best, lots of sun for solar power, and a decent breeze for a small turbine.
walking across the seabed would be Viable but you have undersee volcanoes, man eating fish, trenches etc. that they could fall into. also since most zombies work on smell/hearing they wouldn't notice you

Depends, how big is the island?
Then you've got currents and that to sweep them around. But I guess they could walk along the bottom, worst that can happen is zombie sharks.

Depends on what type of zombies. Zombieland and 28 Days Later type of zombies are still TECHNICALLY humans, but have lost the motor coordination to swim, but since they're still alive, they can't walk underwater.
However, Maz Brooks style zombies (that I consider classical zombies) well...keep an eye on your coastline, and keep a boat at the ready. You never know what could happen.

You could mine the stretch of water or you could always get some zombie eating sharks [with lazoors naturally] that the papers are always on about. Or is that immigrants?

Old Cold War missile bunkers all over the midwest. Find one, occupy it, don't leave except to hunt. All you goin on about shooting and looting have it all wrong. Gunfire attracts attention, and you won't be the only bloke with a firearm, rest assured.
I've spent way too much time planning my SHTF scenarios...

That would depend on which vision of Zombie takes over. Could be really bad if it is the Fulci version from "Zombies 2"

Heh I love that movie.
Zombies strolling about on the bottom of the ocean and the threat they present is covered in the book World War Z,in the book zombies wandering onto beaches or pulling themselves onto boats becomes a bit of a problem,so much so that special underwater "kill teams" are assembled to combat the aquatic dead.

WWZ is set for a July 2012 release, it seems.... with Brad Pitt and Milo Ventimiglia (Peter Petrelli from Heroes).
