Relocate to Aus, the wildlife will take care of the zombies for us.

Fire axe. It's a far more effective weapon, and doubles as a pry-bar. Less weight to carry, too.

My s/o loves the idea. Sadly, there are no silos on the West coast...

I'm kinda surprised that nobody suggested utilizing a copy of the anarchist's cookbook, poor man's james bond, etc. Quite the plethora of useful information.

That thing is so outdated that all it contains nowadays are recipes for disappointment.

No one seems to have mentioned any of the IWM system. Any of the Imperial War Museum locations will have plenty of nice weapons for head thumping. Again unless you have experience with fire arms, I suggest staying to blunt instruments. Halberds and pikes would come in handy, plenty of maces &etc... Or get to Duxford, teach yourself how to fly and just Arthur Harris them to bits using the BBF Lancaster...

Awww MAN I found the perfect bunker for when the gak hits the fan yesterday. My family went with my brother the Giants family to the beach and just hung out for the day. Well about 15 minutes from my house, we were driving down a backroad to some park, and there it was in the middle of no where. A building, totally fenced in AND had razor wire on the top, Id say about 15 foot fence. The building was probably 20ish foot high, so about a story and a half, no windows save for the ones ALL the way at the top. Made completely of brick and steel doors. There was even a ladder that went to the roof FROM THE INSIDE! Best part of all, it looked like a treatment plant for the nearby stream. So we would have flowing water into this building as well. Best part is, while walking around the park, we found a mostly hidden manhole cover a good 500ish feet from that building. So we would even have a nice escape hatch if things really got harry. Its perfect lads.....its perfect.

If it starts to look bad, I will begin to make my way north then. I will bring a home brew beer kit so we can always have sterile water to drink, and food, as well as plenty of vegetable seeds... And my SM army. We can play 5th or 6th... I'm ok with both

HHmmmm Here at Bremerton...I've USS Independence....Ranger...Stennis...Constellation...all four aircraft carriers...moored right by each other and near the gate for easy access....

Go to a garden centre and by a load of bamboo cane. Sharpen them into stakes and fortify your house.
Buy some cheap replica swords most are £50-£150, they're nit as good as a real thing but better than nothing.
Gardening tools will work, rake hedge trimmer and broom.handle if it comes to that.
Bread knives are long enough to get a zombie or someother long knives will work.
Air rifles are pretty painfull, get a zombie in the eye, its down.

This is what I imagine Fortress Dakkadakka as.

I know loads of places to hide and places to weapons, I once lived in a castle (there was a campsite around it and one flat in the castle i lived there) at the castle is isolated and is easy to lock up I'd hold out there myself if all else fail flee to Scotland there is an old nuclear bunker there just for tourists now.

I figure going to a military base in a fairly secluded area would be a good deal-no big town, means not many undead. Military base means lots of guns and trained soldiers. In the movies you see where the survivors get saved from the jaws of death, it's often the military coming in. I know the perfect base to go to, should this come to pass...glad my job gives me ample opportunity to plan for this.

Um....soldiers didn't do so well against alien requiem...have to remember something about a military base...there's the built up area where barracks, office, units, and what have you are located at and then you have the back 40 where its training area....also the ammo bunkers..
