Was TDog or whatever his name is, in the comics? What happened to him? Put in spoiler of course.He was not in the comics, but a an African American named Tyreese was. Tyreese was a bad ### in the comics too.

The problem is the infection probably hits Hawaii. Then you have a permanent population of 1.3 million, plus the tourists that were on the island, big number with about 8 million tourist per year. Then even more if people made a mad exodus to Hawaii. The less inhabited Hawaii Islands could have been filled with people from Japan, and the west coasts of North and South America. You'd need to get to Hawaii within a couple of weeks, maybe even less, of the epidemic starting to find a place to claim. And then most of the best places to make a base will have been gotten to by those that live on the islands or zombies. Plus you will have had to acquire and move within that short amount of time an enormous amount of guns and ammo.I don't think Hawaii is much of an initial option unless you started on the island. I suppose there is a chance, with the military bases on Hawaii that they bomb the hell out of it like it looks like they did Atlanta in the show. In that case getting there later might you might have a shot. But there will still be a few million zombies. Especially if people that get bombed turn into zombies.Excellent point.I put it to you further that you probably won't even find a haystack in the ocean let alone a needle.Even if zombies were to walk aimlessly into the Pacific Ocean, what are the chances that they'll actually end up hitting Hawaii? Needle in a haystack.And, I would rather have a ~2,000 mile buffer between me and the zombies with the only worry of, "they might reach here at some point. In the future when I am not alive anymore". Hawaii looks better and better. Vacation spot in Iceland and I'm golden.Realistically, they'd never make it across an ocean without getting destroyed by water pressure, underground volcanoes or getting stuck.As WWZ showed us, zombies can swim. Well, not swim per se, but more like walk on the bottom of the ocean/lake/sea/river...No zombie animals or possibility of those?Priority #1 is to find an island stat.
This is the reason why in WWZ that the islands were some of the worst places to go because everyone thought this way. Get to an island. Get to an island. The problem is many of the people that got there were infected and spread it to the people already on the island and there is no place to run.In addition, why is the cost of living so high in Hawaii right now? Because they rely on everything being shipped to them. So you are going to have limited resources on the island along with this huge exodus of people healthy/not so healthy that use it up which is going to spell disaster.The only way an island is a good choice is if you own the island already and have it stocked to the brim with supplies AND it is a smaller type island that can be defended easily.I like living here in Colorado because there are plenty of small mountain towns that are already isolated and only able to be reached by one pass that could be easily defended. You have the weather on your side here because the zombies would freeze in the winter. Plenty of fishing, hunting, raising livestock. Everyone here has guns, so they will be easy to come by. All you have to do is avoid the larger population areas and you could easily survive here for a long, long time. Wyoming would be another good choice--low, low population and lots of land.

Mountains are good. I was also thinking, building an elevated community in the redwood trees in California might be good too. Like the Wookies and Ewoks in Star Wars. Grow crops on the ground and sleep up in the trees. Just need to raise a ladder or ramp so the stray zombie can't get to you.Any place I go, I'd want to start training dogs quiet ways to alert people at the smell of zombies. Pointers would be good. Cadaver dogs too, but you have to train them to point or something and not go after the scent. Barking might risk drawing more zombies.They are probably thinking boats, but I'd guess most boats on the ocean coasts will be gone. Taken by people traveling to islands.Are you people assuming that Delta is still going to be operating post-zombiepocalypse? How exactly do you plan to get to Hawaii? I'm calling BS on anyone who claims they could fly there themselves without GPS or any sort of navigational equipment.
An elevated community would be an interesting idea, but if you are in the redwoods, you can't grow crops under the trees, no sun. I do like the idea of having elevated sleeping areas, regardless of location. Just getting off the ground could easily allow for surviving stray walkers. Heck, they could walk right on bye if you are smart about lights and such.Agree on the mountains. While I have replied on places like Hawaii, it has been more around the fact that if you are safe there, you don't have to worry about a zombie walking there from another location. It could be a good place to be if the outbreak hasn't hit there. If they shut down air traffic/boat service and make sure to quarantine any travelers that do make it there, they have a better shot at not getting an outbreak if it can't travel in the air over long distances. They would also have boats to potentially make trips to other areas to try and find more supplies, if needed. I would hope that they could setup farms to grow whatever crops they would need to survive and if not infected, I would think the local government could keep order as well.That said, when the SHTF, no way are you making it to Hawaii. Best to hit up your survival site in the mountains and work on defenses.This is the reason why in WWZ that the islands were some of the worst places to go because everyone thought this way.

Question is: why wouldn't you bomb Atlanta?What was the reason for bombing Atlanta? I know it was the zombies, but is that where it originated? I Don't understand bombing an entire city.

Also calling BS on anyone who thinks they can find Hawaii in a ####### sailboat. Don't act like you know how to use a sextant.They are probably thinking boats, but I'd guess most boats on the ocean coasts will be gone. Taken by people traveling to islands.

Is it really any better than hanging out on the roof of a building, like everyone has done in every zombie movie since ever? Sure, the horde won't be able to reach you, but once they realize you're there, they're not leaving. Have fun starving to death in a tree.An elevated community would be an interesting idea, but if you are in the redwoods, you can't grow crops under the trees, no sun.

I agree people think it will be much easier to navigate to an island than it really would be.I saw in a documentary that as you go up into the canopy of the redwoods there are trees and bushes growing in soil that has collected on branches of the trees. Tons of bugs and small critters and bugs to eat too. Once enough platforms are built you could store food. Water isn't a problem because you could collect the water from the mists that water the redwoods. The redwood don't syphon water from their roots all the way up their length, the trees collect water from mist that forms at the canopy. I've seen the collection of mists done with fabric hung on a mountain side by natives of a desert community.Build bridges and platform to other trees so you have escape routes. Plus you can safely kill zombies from the trees.Is it really any better than hanging out on the roof of a building, like everyone has done in every zombie movie since ever?

Yeah, if they had a nice boat, you would have been crazy not to load it with supplies and sail away. A huge convoy of boats with thousands of people could likely find a new place to start civilization. They just have to be 100% positive they don't over anyone infected.

With what research equipment or brain power?Can animals get infected? Because if they can't, people would be smart to start breeding some dogs. They will make great lookouts, carry out missions searching for zombies, and most importantly could easily incapacitate a zombie without getting infected. A big dog could easily take one of those uncoordinated zombies to the ground and while it might be hard for the dog to kill the brain, the zombie would be defenseless allowing even a smaller, weaker person to kill it easily. Some pigs would be good as well, they reproduce a lot, require very little maintenance as they will find food on the land and are pretty self sufficient. Also, they are small enough that you can travel with them relatively easily. Also, it was stupid to kill all those zombies that were trapped. It would have been useful to conduct some research on them.

True, the group has about zero brain power. am talking very simple observable things...see what happens to some in the winter, how does the cold impact them? Will zombies die or weaken without food after a certain amount of time? How they react to fire? Could they possible be burned out in a large controlled fire? Would they resort to trying to eat each other if unfed for a long time? Is there anything: lights, sounds, chemicals, etc. that seems to have impact with the zombies? Can zombies be poisoned in anyway?With what research equipment or brain power?Can animals get infected? Because if they can't, people would be smart to start breeding some dogs.

It was Robert Kirkman the creator of the comic book. Talking Dead guests\Season one`s first episode?

"One of the things about this world is that people don't know how to shoot people in the head at first, and they're not familiar with zombies, per se," Kirkman said on "Talking Dead." "This isn't a world the (George) Romero movies exist, for instance … because we don't want to portray it that way, we felt like having them be saying 'zombie' all the time would harken back to all of the zombie films which we, in the real world, know about.
"So by calling them something different, we're kind of giving a nod to … these people don't understand the situation. They've never seen this in pop culture, this is a completely new thing for them."
Another Kirkman nugget: Animals can't become walkers/zombies. Only humans.
What if you got on a boat to sail to Hawaii and it turns out the boat is a zombie?Zombie ghosts, angels, demons, aliens, vampires? Lots of questions.
If the infection is something inherent in most or all people, like I think it is (haven't read the comic books) then anyone that dies and doesn't have their brain destroyed will turn into a zombie. So a cruise ship would be bad till people know how to avoid zombies occurring, however it happens.Yeah, if they had a nice boat, you would have been crazy not to load it with supplies and sail away.

Unless he loses any say on it, I think no zombie animals will stick.

The infection can't be something inherent, otherwise there would always be zombies. It had to be introduced at some point recently and spread. Now, it could be in everyone, because it spread quickly and is transmitted easily, but it still had to start at some point.If the infection is something inherent in most or all people, like I think it is (haven't read the comic books) then anyone that dies and doesn't have their brain destroyed will turn into a zombie.
