I think that living in a constant fear or being attacked is something many people don't think about. As someone who regularly spends time alone in the woods at night I know how your minds start playing tricks on you and it can get quite intense and scary even though you know it's just animals out there. Just imagine trying to sleep in a abandoned house and then hearing a zombie walk outside. Even if you made sure that location is as safe as it can be that's still going to be terrifying as hell.

I guess I'll go first:

• I stayed home for the first few weeks and waited out the worst chaos
• I was prepaired enough that I could stay at home
• I own a 4x4 truck and had several spare canisters of fuel which enabled me to bug out eventually with all my gear and no need to stop looking for fuel
• I stayed away from malls, supermarkets, gas stations and other hotspots
• Every time I encountered a zombie I ran away instead of fighting it

Personally I've got enough food stored at home to survive the initial phase but if not I'd probably rather try to raid abandoned private homes instead of heading to the closest grocery store. I believe it's wise to avoid hotspots like that especially in the beginning.

If it's a zombie apocalypse, then I would assume the grid is down. Critics would say that the battery and the durability is a problem, but I don't think it's a problem in this time and age. So is the phone really the best source of knowledge during a zombie apocalypse?
