Ugh, it always changes, in the medieval times it would have been "Aye Wallace get yer longsword, tha nightwalkers are comin". In the older days, it would have changed to "Jimmy get ya blunderbuss, I just saw my dead parents eat my brother". Now its different, people are aware, and it sounds more like: "Its Z-day, get your automatics and ammunition and lets GO!". Instead of the usual stupidity on where to go during Z-day that always ends up being a cellar, I think we should take a better look at where to go during such an event. I personally believe if I had a choice of select materials, vehicles, and weapons to use, that these decisions would let me survive for many months.

To start, In a zombie filled environment its hard to find a secure place to stay. Here is a few things to help.
Find several places to stay temporarily, usually within several miles of your primary safety zone. This allows you to stay safe during night hours without having to worry about making it all the way back to your primary safety zone.
Secure your zones with quickly accessible doors, (elevators and ladders work nicely for escaping zombies quickly) and use melee weapons to batter away any zombies that follow you.
If you drive something, use the sunroof for quick access to the outside world and access to your safety zone.
Keep entertainment handy, even if its old tapes of Bill Cosby or crappy magazines. Its bad to be bored during a zombie attack.
Travel during early light hours to maintain the greatest visibility of your flesh-eating brethren. Pick off these suckers with long range weaponry whenever you can, less zombies to risk your lives near further on the road!!!

Vehicles, they are important, but very costly in resources. Here are some helpful tips to allow safe transportation.
Utilize gasoline, wherever you can find it, whenever you can find it.
Use gas conserving vehicles like mopeds and motorcycles.
Mopeds and such can be rode with one hand, so don't you think the other hand could be more useful holding a pistol???
Keep your keys in the ignition, since I doubt zombies will explore and drive away your vehicle.
Keep gas cans stored on or in your vehicle, for special situations where you need some extra fuel.
KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR FUEL LEVELS, ITS BAD TO BE ON EMPTY WHEN ZOMBIES ARE AFTER YOU.

Weapons, they kill to save lives.
Keep a full arsenal on hand if possible, comprise this of the following weapons if possible.
Keep in mind that some ammunition will be less common than others, so carry popular weapons.
A long range scoped rifle, for larger groups of zombies that need to be eliminated at a safe distance. (The farther the better, as long as you are accurate)
An automatic rifle for medium range scuffles. (Mind your magazine size and keep a spare handy)
A shotgun for those who sneak up on you. (Dont forget to reload after a small battle)
A melee weapon such as an axe or a machete for when reloading takes too long.
Use soccer equipment, yes soccer equipment, for protection. (How awesome would it be to NOT be bitten on the arm because of some quick thinking and soccer pads?)

Things to avoid:
NEVER travel at night. Nuff said.
NEVER pass up the chance to get ammunition, you never know when you will get another chance.
DONT use chainsaws, yeah they look cool and stuff, but they use valuable gasoline and need to be primed and started. (that equals death)
DONT ever, ever, EVER use a number passcode door.

What now? Find survivors and replicate. Save humanity and save the world.
