Stock up on canned food, ammo, batteries, fuel etc. Go to a cabin in the wilderness far away from everything. Check that I've got the essentials, realize I forgot something. Go back to town to pick it up. Go back to cabin, go back to town to print out some guides on how to preserve food, go back to cabin.

I was just thinking I would download Wikipedia, but I guess batteries degrade so printing probably isn’t a bad idea…

Crater Lake. Wizard Island. Fresh water, fish, lumber. Built in barriers.
And a nice view to boot
Do you have the means to reach this place? Lets say that you get the warning tomorrow, are you able to reach the island?
Yup!

Sucide
The number of people that would go to the woods makes me think that staying in a city would be a better option.
Yeah it really depends on a lot of factors, exactly what your city / suburb is like, and the nature of the crisis.
After a week or so of supply problems, a major city would be bereft of food. Unless everyone is dead, there would be a lot of desperate, nutty people.
On the other hand, as someone who lives in the country, the easy food here would get low to the ground real fucking quick even with just the local population. Like I can catch a feed of fish, trap rabbits, or even shoot a kangaroo, but these food sources would disappear in my area with even just a dozen people actively harvesting them.
I think that if I'm going to be hungry, I would definitely prefer to be so in the country just because at least you can get away from other people.
Meh. Stock up on crowbars, axes, hammers, screwdrivers, etc. Drive into the hills and away from the cities, stock up on as much canned food and water I can cram into my tiny ass car. I don't have a gun nor know how to use it, but I'd probably try and kill a cop zombie at some point after the outbreak. Then only use it on myself if it looks like it be eaten alive.
Otherwise I'd try to live a quiet secluded life reading books, attempting to garden, fish, and trap small game animals. All while mourning my loved ones while waiting for the weight of the depression to finally convince me life isn't worth living in such a state. Hopefully that takes a good long while, but yknow...that's unlikely.
I'd likely die of starvation or dehydration before the zombies got me, unless we're talking sprinters...then no way.
I used to play Project Zomboid. The game mechanics make the learning difficulty high and you have to start from the beginning if you die...and there is no plot nor point to the story other than just survive in a world where you are the sole survivor of a zombie outbreak. It forces you into thinking like this often the longer you play. Amazing game, but very depressing.
You say you used to play PZ... I recommend checking out the Week One mod with the new unstable branch of B42. Breathes some life into the world prior to the apocalypse occurring.
I would not prepare anything because I know I would get caught the second it started
Same, I would just download a lot of shit for whoever raids my house.
I'd order the sweater with the text "the hardest part about a zombie apocalypse is pretend I'm not excited".
Extra fast shipping I guess, or click and collect somewhere
When I order nationally it ships today, arrives tomorrow. When I order from a neighboring country it takes 1 to 2 days longer. Just don't order from China.
Well... My health conditions mean that I am unlikely to survive long term after apocalypse. Even if no zombies get me. The first week would be fine, the first month maybe, but I wouldnt be alive to see the second year. I could try to do a camping trip to see if the "apocalypse" passes over quickly. If not, then there is no point trying to plan for long term survival.
I don’t presume to know your conditions but assuming you need some medicine, maybe you could buy some chemicals and make it yourself? But no sounds like a rough spot, wishing you well
I will join the army at last. My zombies are regular semi-slow ones, not magical.
Get a new axe. Probably some non perishable food and water.
I'd learn to speak zombie. Doesn't take long, it's mostly throat noises. And walk like a zombie, just pretend a horse kicked you in the ass yesterday.
I would bug in, 100%.
Stock up at home and hide under the blanket.
Id give up so fast, id maybe try to survive, but my plan would include getting bitten and somehow being immune to the brain damage making myself immortal, either that or die
Get to new Zealand
My bugout bag and axe are ready so I guess I'd just stock up on ammo.
I would wake up from the nightmare.
Bro we're already living in one. Might as well have some fun shooting zombies in your dreams instead of doomscrolling in reality.
