Tumblr user, kars-did-nothing-wrong, makes a really good point...why don't people just wear armor? 

What's your survival plan? Ours is to hide out at a Costco. We probably won't make it long through the apocalypse but at least we'll die in the place we love.

    Text - kars-did-nothing-wrong everyone else is like "oh we gotta stay inside the most secure places possible and never leave" and I'll be storming through the wastelands in my bloodstained suit of armor, blasting the Doom (2016) OST and plowing my way through waves of the undead. one of them tries to bite me but his shitty rotting teeth don't even leave a dent in my armor before I turn his head into paste. I'll be unstoppable until I die of dehydration or something like an idiot

    Text - earlgraytay this goes along with my other pet peeve about zombie apocalypse stories, namely: why does no one ever think to ride a bike? bikes are quiet- if the zombies react to loud noises, they won't hear you on a bike the way they might hear you in a car. bikes don't need gas, meaning you won't be stranded if you run out. bikes are much, much easier to maintain than a car- there's no computer that can short out, no fiddly engine bits that could kill you if you mess with them wrong. you

    Text - TheSpectacularNaked FlyingBeefBowl RobotofSouthSuburbia 16 pts If I remember the Zombie Survival Guide, lugging yourself in the armor would not only be exhaust- ing but would allow for the literal hundreds of hands clawing and grabbing at you to pry open the armor and get to the the meaty center

    Text - DirtPoorFarmerSeedingUsersub 9 points 16 days ago Lots of naysayers about this: would his inevitable failure make him a more or less threatening zombie to deal with by survivors?

    Text - SanguineMyBrother 7 points 16 days ago Shark suits are the answer. Theyre lightweight enough to be swam in, but strong enough to not let a shark break through the mail.
