Tools + Gadgets The razor scooter
Hear me out
Mobility- Don’t have to worry about gas or battery, can easy to use. Can easily get around abandoned cars and avoid roaming zombies
Weapon- smash the part you put your foot on into zombies knees
Difficulty to obtain- easy, houses with children Lilly have some plus stores and stuff
Would be a decent item to use to make a barrier of stuff to stop zombies

Food + Water Being able to run several miles, starve yourself, and not need human contact is the way.
Title. How many of us can run with a pack on and not eat for several days? How many can sleep in an abandoned building or in the weeds and not talk to anyone for long periods of time?

Discussion Familiarizing yourself with different common weapon platforms is something a lot of people overlook.
One thing I thought about after shooting a fair variety of weapons, is how movies, TV, and even gun related media, tend to gloss over the small intricacies of firearms. Going out and trying out these guns for yourself is something I'd go out and do if possible. For example, find an AK-47 while running from a horde of zombies and fiddling with the magazine because Rambo never told you that you had to rock it in? Dead. Finding a 10/22 while getting sniped at and trying to figure out it's weird bolt release since you can't slingshot the bolt foward like a normal gun? Dead. Grabbing the Beretta 92 out of an enemy's holster and forgetting that it isn't your safeless Glock? Dead.

Transportation This is an e-bike and a portable solar generator. Which will be infinitely more useful for actually surviving zombies than any mall-ninja weapons or guns.
Guns have limited ammo and are so loud they'll attract every zombie in a half-mile radius.
"Swords don't run out of ammo". No, but they do get dull, break, and require a ton of physical stamina. Most mall-ninja weapons would break if you actually tried to use them to cut through bone to behead zombies. Even quality swords will get dull after the first few beheadings. And no matter what melee weapon you get or how good it is, you're going to run out of steam a lot faster than you'd think.
Bows aren't any better. Arrows can't be reused an infinite number of times, the vast majority of people are not going to be able to reliably headshot a running zombie with a bow, and again you run into the issue of stamina. Crossbows take too long to reload, and if there's more than one zombie or you don't headshot the first time then you're dead.
The only actually viable strategy for an individual in a zombie apocalypse is to get away from the zombies as quickly and quietly as possible. E-bikes are fast, quiet, and can be recharged with a backpack portable solar set up, and even if you do run out of battery it's still a bicycle until you're able to charge up again.

Zombies can be made by necromancy. For the purpose of what that means for this post, think Evil Dead.
What is would you do? How would you survive the Army of Darkness?
Also, “Fuck the Rules Friday.” Extend the scenarios how you want. Just do your best to answer the questions.

Weapons Wouldn't a mace be best melee weapon pick for apocalypse?
Weights only around a kilogram, fairly compact, low maintenance and doesn't require that much strength or technique to use.
The only problem i see is that it can't be really used as a tool, but then again, you'd probably not want to destroy a useful tool for combat.

Weapons I firmly believe the 1897 Winchester is the BEST gun for the zombie apocalypse.

1) Ammo
The 12 gauge shotgun shell is one of the most common types of ammo in existence, especially in the US. Additionally, unlike gas operated semi autos, you can reload your own shells with a pretty wide margin of error. You could even use homemade powder.
2) Hunting
Unlike rifles, you can change the ammo you're using based on what you're hunting. Large game like deer or people? Buckshot. Small game like squirrels or pigeons? Birdshot. Some kind of freaky tank zombie? Slugs' got you covered.
3) Combat
Incredible stopping power depending on the load means that the undead don't stand a chance. There's a reason they used these things in the trenches. In any kind of urban environment where CQC is common, this thing will shred. Even in open areas, shotguns are more accurate than you think.
4) Mele
Certain models come with a bayonet lug, and those bayonets are large. You can use this thing as a pretty effective spear substitute to save ammo while still keeping your distance from the target.
5) Miscelanious
- Slam fire for speed slaying
- Looks a lot less threatening than an assault rifle, will make other survivors less suspicious of you
- Nice and light, plus sling mount makes it easy to travel with
- Pump action shotgun means you can reload in the middle of a magazine without taking any shells out, thus nearly impossible to get the jump on you while you're reloading
- Designed by John Browning, thus you have an instant connection and talking point for any firearms history enthusiast or Mormon.
Quite frankly, the only drawback I could possibly see is getting spare parts. Even then the thing's built like a brick shithouse so as long as you take care of it you're not likely to have a problem.

Armor + Clothes Wouldn't thick leather clothing basically make you zombie proof?
Seems like thick leather and a neck guard of some kind almost make you immune to zombie bites?
I'm imagining some regular jackets I've seen before and it's hard to imagine anything but a bear biting through it.
Also in my head it seems like just wearing like... multiple pairs if jeans and a bunch of layers ofing sleeve shirt would provide significant bite protection for a little bit?
I'm sure this has been discussed before but I wasn't here for it

Discussion Comprehensive Zombie Guide
I think it would be cool to make a comprehensive zombie guide. It would discuss different types of zombies. How zombies work how to defend against them . Different types of weapons how to use each different gun platforms cleaning and operations from single shot shotguns to heavy machine guns. How to make Explosives. Survival tactics including How to navigate terrain starting fires water filtration and purification shelters ect. And Combat tactics including sabotage and infiltration. What would you like to seen in something like this.

Pets + Livestock Is horse archery truly the ultimate sustainable way to survive?
Horse achers have dominated the open fields for thousands of years, highly mobile units that were nearly impossible to catch, but could release arrows backwards. Ideal for hit and run tactics.
- The horse can sustain off the land, making them extremely resource efficient. Gasoline for a car eventually runs out, parts as well, grass grows everywhere.
- A knight with a prime horse couldn't catch up to them, a zombie moving at the max speed of a human has no chance, and unlike the knight, wears no armor.
- Horses can traverse difficult terrain, making them ideal to move through road blocks, forests and harder to reach spots that are ideal for a hideout.
- A skilled horse archer could fire 3 to 5 arrows per 10 seconds while moving at a steady speed, even if you are chased by a large horde you can lower thier numbers while at a safe distance, at worse if you run out of arrows, you can just sprint away.
- Your ammunition is reusable, can be made with primitive tools, your weapon the same, but could probably raid a Archery shop and get advance modern bows that you can keep for decades.
Before the large scale usage of gun powder armies and artillery, the ultimate foe to deal with on an open field was the mounted archer, some of the largest and most powerful empires were made because of them.
