There are practically deserted islands that exist in the pacific ocean, that are only inhabited by monks. very few even probably know they really exist.
they live off of the land there, and have self sustaining forms of their own government.
you'll be protected from disease epidemics, there is tillable soil there and vegetation to live off of and you're pretty far from anywhere there would have been major nuclear blasts if they bombed major cities of most countries.
the less people the better, you want less chance for disease, cannibalism, and less people to ration food between to keep the fights few and far between and the organizational/governmental system as in check as possible.
the only downside is, anything you'd normally of had in the mainland back home, you won't have there. but- the plus side is you get to sleep at night knowng someone isn't comign to brutally murder you and eat you. peacefully.
besides, the stuff that everyone wants from back on the mainland, like medicine or, medical care. fresh water. stuff to make fire with to cook food. food in general. cars, gasoline, even operating planes and connections to the people that have them. those are the highest valuable items, but- there will be so much blood shed over them, that you likely won't be able to get any without risking your life first.
not to mention, i wouldn't doubt people forming militia's of there own and such to fight for themselves with, groups that, try to salvage what's left of the resources for themselves by killing everyone else. just for things they wanted. whether it be, sunscreen or, a form of currency. who knows what they want.
but i think our own kind would be the thing to look out for most.
in the event of like a walking dead type apocalypse, i would hide in the trees or go underground in the tunnel system if too many people are shooting at me in the trees. idk. it just depends on how it goes. the tunnels might be full of people who had the same idea. i'm sure there would be people living in abandoned subways and railway cars and what not.
the idea they had in the walking dead to start a commune on the roof of a hospital was kind of a good idea.
but there are NASA facilities and things like that- that if they're not over run or blocked off, or whatever. I would go there. They have these like huge buildings that are made of fucking steel, built to withstand a *lot* of powerful shit. they could def take bullets and shit. they stand about sixteen feet tall in the air, on huge iron poles. so the only way to get to them is with a long ladder.
these buildings were designed for the workers to live in while they worked on the rocket ships, which are very tall. so the building is designed to be *movable*... it can be moved anywhere with a tank or a toe.
and it can be adjusted in height. and the tanks they have, don't just move forward and backward, they can move in all directions. highly sophisticated rovers. they also have "blast resistant" tanks. which might come in handy in an apocalypse. buildings full of technology that would be extremely useful for communications should you be able to get any sort of a signal to anywhere.
they use satellite instead of interent to communicate and do locations services, and have like special ways of communicating with the government and what not. and i would find that very helpful.
so yeah, i would go straight to NASA.
but first i would go to my grandfathers house, which is abandoned at the moment because he doesn't live there anymore obvioulsy (RIP) but he has a shit ton of guns, an entire arsenal, and those things are fully loaded and ready to go.
so i would just take everything i had there, and get to NASA. then think of a strategize plans to get a pilot and a plane to take me to that island far away.
but yeah if all things go to shit- just live in the trees. hide there. it's pretty simple, all you need is a lot of rope. and if you don't even have that, just duct tape knives to your feet, and climb mother fucker.
when you're afraid of getting eaten alive by zombies, it's surprisingly easier to climb straight up a tree trunk with knives taped to ur feet, and obviously knives in hand. but it's a lot easier to be done with a rope.
and then you just tie yourself to the trunk and sit up there.
you could also head north to the caves inside mountains, and try to live there quitely but. that's a long journey, and the snow is dangerous. not to mention no way to grow shit, so you have to hunt. and good luck surviving the wild beasts and wolves that try to kill you. also, you can't run too fast in a certain temperature that is too low, it causes your lungs to essentially burst and you drown in your own blood from the inside out and pass out in the snow and die.
not being able to run in a zombie apocalypse and not being able to grow food is a problem. but if you can find a little cabin that you think is safe, it might could work temporarily. you'll just always be in danger of ambush i guess, depending on how difficult the location is to get to.
and lastly, naval bases in the middle of the fucking ocean/military bases. also hippie communes in british columbia canada.
there is a military base where my mom used to live, that's literally on an island. they have amunition to protect themselves with from air strikes. and there is one bridge, onto the island, and off the island. that's it. and it's very, very long. and the water is deep. so, if you could manage to keep this island fairly ok. you could live there. and guard it, from the bridge. or just, explode the bridge if it becomes that much of a problem.
just make sure you have a boat XD
but yeah, setting to the seas is not smart unless you really know what you're doing. it's very rough and difficult to survive long distance travel like that without knowledge of the seas and what not. and even with knowledge, and all the bravery in the world- it still may not work out.... the ocean will kill you. but, if you can mange to get to a naval base. that might be a good spot if everything is absolutely gone to shit and you're out of options. there likely wouldn't be very many peopl ethere, because it requires a plane or an excellent naval captain, to locate and get to.
how much supplies they have, who knows. just make sure you have enough fuel to leave. because you likely cannot stay there for long, you can't live off of fish forever, mercury builds up in the body from eating fish consistently for too long, and you'll die from that essentially. it's not pretty.
but yeah uh, the hippie commune in i think... victoria canada if i'm not mistaken. it's an island, self sustaining hippie commune. lots of live off of there.
also, there is an underground cave system that people live in out in nevada, it's pretty cool. so that's a place to survive for a while. you'll have to hunt though, the soil is shit and there's not much water. but there is one entrance to the cave system, and it's designed for human habitation, they have beds and everything. a whole "city" essentially but underground. and, you can close it off with this iron door they have. it's pretty sick.
and then you have, that weird island that hasn't been touched by modern civilization yet. there's lots of like "abandoned islands" but i just figure lots of people will go there by boat. but, this island was recently discovered and it has people on it that have no knoweldge of the outside world and speak a language unknown to us. they're self sustaining obviously. but, if you arriave there, they will likely kill you. the reason we can't get in touch with them is because they kill anyone that arrives tehre on sight. no one's been able to make it to the shore, they're violent.
but if yo uhave a machine gun it might work.
and, lastly. the aboriginals of australia. that might be a place to go. i don't know.
just be weary of water, don't drink or go in rivers that you don't know are safe. cover exposed wounds. always wear shoes and thick clothing to cover your legs and arms, and surround them with duct tape or something as armour.
scratches that get infected with bacteria, is the thing you're probably most likely to die from, apart from natural viruses and disease, dehydration, starvation, sun exposure, heat, or extreme cold.
you can manage to survive, but you can't forget about the reality of infection and viruses, bacteria, the microbes. the fungeses. boiling the water. being weary of the food you eat. the soil you grow it in. the water you step in or bathe in. not to step in animal feces. don't eat weird plants or bugs. etc.
even then, youll likely get a run down immune sysem, catch a cold you can't fight off, or a virus. and without antibiotics or medical assistance, you die from a high grade fever one night in your sleep.
you also need to know how to use all your weapons, or they'll be used against you. know how to load them in your sleep, in the dark, blindfolded, backwards and fowards, inwards and out. do it in 7 seconds. then do it in 5. do it behind your back. store your weapons
