I've got a couple of these, but I"ll go with the first one. From the cast of Big Bang Theory Leonard Amy Raj Bernadette Penny

I agree with a lot people have said in the thread. However, the only bad thing about Costco, Walmart, etc. is that there will undoubtedly be swarms of people in the beginning stages of the ZA that will try to go to places like that to get supplies. Add in the people that will simply try to claim a Walmart in the beginning of the ZA and just try to stay * live there...fighting with people over supplies. I would suspect many people would die & turn in the Walmart...causing lots of havoc. Maybe they would a good spot several months to a year from the start of the ZA, but I don't think those big box stores would be ideal.

Didn't they kinda get the poisoning thing down? IMO, the whole pig "flu" thing should have taken care of the "what would it be like to have a sudden illness during the ZA?" Also, I don't really want to see the cast swatting flies in the Georgia heat every episode. That would bug the crap out of me! (No pun intended)

I'd make my way to Hyde County in Eastern North Carolina. It's home to two large fresh water lakes and is surrounded on 3 sides of the county by the Pamlico Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. Current population is little over 6,000 people in a county that is 613 square miles in size. compare that to Mecklenburg county in North Carolina (Charlotte, NC) with over 1 million people in a county that is 525 square miles in size. Pretty much all of Coastal North Carolina would be similar. Lots of freshwater rivers, lakes, and sounds with very low populations to deal with. Lots of farmland.

A child's t-ball bat or short softball bat would be suitable alternative since it would be easy to swing with one hand. I'd also have a machete and/or camping axe with me as well. Like another has said, sometimes, you will need a blade to clear brush or chop down limbs. Only thing is I probably wouldn't want to use the same blade for chopping up zombies that I would to chop up an animal to feed myself or others. So a small bat, Machete, camping axe, and maybe one of those "multi-purpose" tools with the knife/can opener/etc. as a last resort weapon and survival tool.
