If all hell broke loose right now, what would you do?

Well, you need a permit in Japan to buy a "real" Japanese sword, and from what I hear they aren't easy to come buy. Of course I could always buy one from Bugei, but I'm pretty sure it would never make it through customs (and those things aren't cheap anyway). I'm positive those things would cut though :)

And it's not that I don't have the option of moving to the midwest, just that Tokyo is home, and has been for a long time now. Although I am moving back to Boston next year (say what you want about zombies, but megaquakes are really and truly scary).

Now earthquakes on the other hand are a much more reasonable excuse for moving.

This is where I'm going to hole up. It's a house on a cliff in Newquay. The only way to the cliff is by that bridge. It has it's own generator and water purifying supply from the sea (apparently). A droppable rope ladder or two with boats tied to the rocks set up for quick getaways or a sneaky way off, and voila - instant protection. Plus there's plenty of shops/warehouses in Newquay for raiding, but it's not so big that there would be millions of zeds to put up with.

Nice, you'll be plenty safe out there, any thoughts about food.

For a start, I'm a decent sea fisherman. Second, there are quite a few shops and a food distribution warehouse in Newquay, so food wouldn't be a prob for a bit. I live a little way (about 20 miles) from Newquay, but on the way there is an Air Force base, so I'd hope that if the base had people/arms in it, I'd be fine, if not, it's on to the cliff house. Mind you, it's a well known place, so maybe lots of others would have the same idea...

Fishing is good but outside of that? Long term a wide diet is necessary. Other people having the same idea could also be a disadvantage.
Brilliant find though, very defensible.

Long term? I don't think I'd worry about long term for a while. I think day to day is what I'd be concentrating on. If the zeds start dying out, then farming and finding others would become a priority. But yeah, that place would be perfect to hold out long enough to survive the initial attacks, if I could get there.
Think I'd have to fortify my house (as it's pretty remote anyway) and prepare to move out as soon as possible.

Hey even with a umbrella I think I could make it atleast a few days im crafty like that

I suppose. Tbh, long term I don't think many of us will survive. For example I have remoteness and a plentiful food supply on my id but very little offensive capability and I lack the skills necessary to turn all those animals into gourmet meals.

So would you try to make it work, or take the cowards way out?
