And your assuming makes what I assume to be very questionable assumptions.
1 That it is realistic for zombies to exist
Bollocks!

Quote from ahoaho
2 Zombies DON'T have INSTINCT that tells them to pursue easier prey. If so, you might still be the best catch in the area 😛
Quote from ahoaho
In reality, which I reiterate this is not, the most logical weapon would be an automobile because they are plentiful, easily procured, easily refueled, and ten times more accurate in creating fatal head trauma than any of the other proposed methods.
So in the magical world of zombie invasion, I will be driving my M1A1 tank. 😎
Also bollocks! Cars now-a-days are designed so that when you run someone over you are unlikely to fatally injure them, as the force of the impact is spread throughout the entirety of the person. And viola! You hit one zombie and suddenly you got a heavily cracked windshield and a still live zombie.

Seeing as they are mindless more or less I'd assume they can't swim. I'd pick up some hooks, fishing line and the first boat/table/floating pile I could get my hands on and head for deep water. If I'm stuck alone in a raft, I'll hug the coast. If I'm on board something seaworthy with a few uninfected I'd head for warm waters and hope I could find a nice deserted island. Unlike those morons in the Dawn of the Dead remake, I'd be paranoid enough to patrol the coast of the island for a few hours before making landfall.
edit: So much safer than fighting the bastards. Even if you must you at least can fight them on your own terms with whatever is on the boat. Less of a chance of being swarmed after all.
edit2: In terms of weapons, a shotgun and a lot of explosives would be my choice if only because my goal would be escape rather than confrontation. If I'm desperate, a strong ax would be my choice but I'd rather run given that option.

Assuming of course some of the dead don't have large amounts of gasses in them from decomposition and they don't just float (or heck, underwater walk) straight to your island. Or also assuming other survivors don't bring their secretly bitten relatives to your island. (all from the book World War Z)

Never Mind The Bollocks, It's The Zombie Pistols! 😀 (Sorry couldn't help myself.)
I will say lets agree to disagree. (My '89 Firebird or my 82 El Camino will pwn any zombie)

I see you are not having nearly as much fun as I am.
Or perhaps I have just rendered you speechless 😮

No it's just the fact that my mind is too logical to contemplate a sudden onslaught of homicidal zombies. Even if the was a chance that they could exist, why go after humans, who have the ability to fight back with greater success than say, a marmot. Why not make the mindless bastards perform free labor for the exchange of rotten sickly livestock? Where is the government in all this chaos?
Unfortunately, (or fortunately?) I have confidence that sane people, when confronted with a force that threatens to wipe out their survival and/or way of life, will band together and fight said force. So the notion of a single person, or even a small group of people fighting the damn things alone is as farfetched as the notion of zombies themselves.
And I still want my GD tank.

For all you foolish little people who think living in a tank with food and water is a good idea.
WHERE IS YOUR F'ING TOILET 😕 ?
A tank is a weapon not an RV with cannons. Granted this is fictional but use your brains! People are giving you plenty of reasons why a tank is a BAD idea and you just ignore it.
Rules for survival
- Common Sense
- Common Sense (because you ignored the first one)
- Calm planning
Thats it! That is all it takes to survive the zombies. 😀 😃

Calm down Nancy your scaring me. 😀
I would improvise a way to expel the waste. Hell, I could put it in a shell and shoot it at the zombies.
But I think that I have to change my vote to an RV with cannons. 😎

@SirGir
I wouldn't worry too much about the walking zombies. If all they do is sink to the bottom of the ocean then most likely they would crush/immobilize themselves while struggling under the pressure of the cold deep water. They would only come into play in shallow water environments near the coast.
Floating zombies would be a danger especially on small/improvised boats or island sanctuaries. On larger seaworthy vessels though, their danger is comparatively negligible. Their propulsion through the water would likely be limited to thrashing wildly, making them slow, noisy and easier to anticipate. Even when they leave the water and get onto an island they would be waterlogged and hampered from the long trip.
The old moron who doesn't tell anyone they are infected problem has to be the worst. That would require some daily public examination protocols involving armed goons. Where possible everyone should live their lives naked!

Your imagination could be your undoing. Quote from ahoahoEven if the was a chance that they could exist, why go after humans, who have the ability to fight back with greater success than say, a marmot. Why not make the mindless bastards perform free labor for the exchange of rotten sickly livestock? People are so afraid of genetically-modified food and Chinese-made products, good luck convincing them Zombie Brand is safer. Quote from ahoaho
Where is the government in all this chaos? Underfunded, unprepared, and in general, acting like a bureaucracy 😛

You are vulnerable! (until you get the tank)

Your thinking is most solid, a few basic sleeping securities and that might just work 😃

Any car/bus/truck/tank/etc. is a bad idea. First off roads are jammed with traffic, second if it stalls or flips or just says "screw you" and go to car heaven then you are pretty much Spam in a can. Your classified is meat, your in a metal container, and when you're finally pulled out you make a nasty SHLOP noise.

Go to drunkguy's island, or if I have warning, train to become an astronaut and live in space until this whole thing is moderately solved 😀
I've thought exactly 5 seconds about this (I'm such a hypocrite 🤣 )

On my island, everyone would have be naked and shaved of all hair both pubic and otherwise!

I know I would never last, I hate zombies soo much, don't like stuff dealing with the undead. I would probably lose it if I had to really deal with that.
But, maybe if I lived in a submarine until you all destroyed them b/c don't think zombies can swim (I hope)...
