This was brought up in a community I talk in, and I figured I’d post the same question.
In the event of a Zombie outbreak, where would you go? What would be your ideal hideout?
Here’s what I posted: (Note I added more context to this post for the zombie ignorant)
Initially I would go here:
http://www.uaf.edu/campusmap/buildings/gruening/
The building was built with re-enforced concrete, also notice the thin windows. There are riot windows, which are designed to prevent a human coming in and out.
There are 4 entrances on each side and that’s it. Each is an arctic entry. So there’s an outer door to the outside, and inner space and then another door to the interior. Right now, each door is made of heavy metal, and the way it’s designed allows for easy blocking. The arctic entry can be easily blocked off.
There are three ways to ascend the floors in the interior of the building. One is by elevator (easy to take care of), a main set of stairs and a secondary set of stairs. The secondary stairs only go to floor 2 (the building has 8 floors. The main set of stairs go all the way up and use a switchback system. So you walk in one direction as you climb, and then have to turn 180 degrees to continue. ( |/| <--this would be inclining) The stairs are also fairly steep. This would be fairly easy to block with some work and probably the best point for zombie access. So you could set up defenses to prevent Zack from climbing the stairs.
There is an interconnected tunnel system that connects every building on campus to one another (underground). They are service tunnels not meant for traveling, but I have imagined many scenarios where I use the tunnels to travel around campus. Especially, if supplies run low or I seriously get sick of being in the building. Of course, I also imagine a dark tunnel filled with Zack chasing me the whole way.
Living in an area where it's below freezing for half the year helps in preparations for spring and summer. According to Max Brooks, the arctic would be one of the safer places on earth during a Zombie outbreak, because they are still humans with human flesh. Human flesh freezes solid in cold temperatures, and Zack is dead, so there's no core heat.
