I never really thought about it, so this is really quite literally off of the top of my head.

Procure a vehicle - large truck, suv, or van I think - that can run them over and haul all of my stuff and hopefully my friends, too.
Wal-Mart. They got lots of supplies, including weapons and ammunition and sporting goods and most have pharmacies.
Some farms have large fuel tanks on site for keeping their tractors running. I'd take over a farm I'd try to get those filled up and stockpile as much fuel as possible for driving and torching zombies. Since I'm heading for the countryside for strategic depth and low population, I'm going to be looking for that gas station at some crossroads in the boonies.
Hopefully that will give me a foothold where other humans can come to expand out.
Furthermore, the military will be napalming and possibly nuking the population centers, so I want to be as far as possible from them.

it's definitely a night time raid, although at that time it's more difficult to tell the humans from the zombies.

I might also high wal-mart in the boonies where some of them still close for the day.

If it's Zombie time, I'm headed for the mountains and far away from people.

I'm going to stock up on shotguns and canned goods.

I'm going to have a truck, a 30k generator (miniumum), fuel trailer, and a water trailer, even if i have to make three or four trips.

And when the Zombies find me, I'll move. And keep moving, living off the land and never becoming reliant on anything I can't take with me.

Survival will be the name of the game and there will be no more room for luxuries such as compassion. If you're a burden and don't pull your weight, you won't be coming with me.

Because at the end of the day, we're not talking about the survival of the human race anymore. We're talking about me surviving for as long as I can until they get me. That won't be today. And if I'm real careful, that won't be tomorrow.

Get back to me about the day after tomorrow.

how do u plan to come by all those things

By any means I have to.

Remember, there are only two categories of people from now on. Survivors and Zombie Chow.

They're not going to get me because I'm not going anywhere near a Wal*Mart.

"IN 36 of my 37 Zombie plans, you are sacrificed in order to give me time to escape." "In the last one I become one of the undead and come eat you myself!"

Sorry, I just watched the Red vs Blue Zombie plan ep last weekend.

In our All Flesh must be Eaten game (set in Middle Georgia where we live), our group headed to Fort Pulaski on the Georgia Coast. Its got a huge open area in the middle, deep moats, drawbridges, and docks on the island (for access to fishing and travel). Its got one way onto the island by road, and if you go to any of the nearby bases and manage to scavenge yourself a bridge layer, you have easy access on and off the island without leaving yourself open to zombie invasion. Scavenge horses, cattle, goats and seed from nearby farms, save your gas for the generators to run the lights at night, and if you get lucky, rig up solar cells to power them. Set yourself up in the nice little oasis of survival, while you scavenge for medical supplies, ammunition, and weapons.

At the moment, due to current life challenges my best zombie plan is "go down swinging."

A few years ago we had a sweet one though. I lived in a college town surrounded by farms with a large social group that got along great together. If a zombie wave hit I could literally count on dozens of well armed, sensible, and cooperative people. I lived in a three story place with the main entrance on the second story (all concrete and no windows on the bottom story) and the stairs were literally bolted together. I only needed a basic socket set to take them apart quickly. Between my room-mates and I we had extensive tools, weapons, ammo (when my best friend moved out my hatchback was bottomed out from trying to move only his 8mm mauser ammo), and food. Being close to the college campus meant we had multiple power grids overlapping to prevent power outtages (parents get a little wierd about their "little girls" being in power outtages with all those horrible boys just down on the next floor of the dorms) during our common wind storms. So everyone new my/our place was the meeting point if anything really crazy happened (zombie related or something more realistic like horrible windstorms knocking everyone elses power out).

The college campus had a large square surrounded by large brick buildings and the entire region was paved with unmortared bricks.

Our zombie plan was to meet at my place and remove the lower steps. Then very quietly go secure several multistory houses surounding campus. knock out the stairs in them and set up zip lines from the top story to a nearby secure location. Several teams would then start shooting any zombie that moved from these very secure locations. Everyone else grabbed trucks, hauled strawbales from the surrounding farms, and quietly stacked them up as walls between the narrow gaps between buildings, securing the campus square and sealing the outside entrances to the buildings, then stacking the loose paving bricks in front of the strawbales to give a harder, longer lasting finish to the wall. The entire time we keep gathering people that are willing to cooperate and quietly killing any zombies not distracted away by the shooting with hand weapons. When the campus square is fortified we go rescue the stranded distraction teams one at a time, covering their retreat down the zip lines in force. Then we pull into the fort we've built with whatever supplies we could get.

Once we had a fortified position, we would take an aggressive defensive attitude (think of the US strategy in the Pacific through most of the war). Each morning we use the tunnel system under the campus to come up outside the walls past the horde of zombies that had collected at the wall during the night, clean them out, and then maintain patrols to engage groups of zombies in positions that we were at the massive advantage. Being in a small town we'd never have the massive mobs like in a major city. We'd take time gathering supplies, equipment, and survivors and improving the fortifications on campus until either the military showed up to rescue us, or we were over run by either some crazy warlord or the wave of zombies that would likely eventually reach us from nearby major cities. Though if people pulled together well enough it's likely we'd be in a position to deal with even the major wave from the cities or be large enough for roving gangs to just swing wide around us.

Now I live in a trailer in the middle of Seattle without anyone I could really count on in a zombie invasion, so I'm stuck with "going down swinging."

I was actually planning a Zombie situation, but my plans will be more the "resident Evil" type scenarios, where its small pockets of incidents outsied the main stream.

In fact, My first plan with be on an Island outside Washington state, a Science research center will suffer an outbreak and the characters get caught in the middle of it. Trapped on zombie island sounds like fun to me. Its still a work in progress (still need to get the dead reign book) but I'd be happy to share more details once ive written a plan.
