Hate to break the news guys. But I'd be using you for target practice! Nothing personal but you would be Zombies? And maybe just shoot Rob Zombie for good measure! Unless he is making another one of those marvelous Munster's movies! Most his stuff is violent c**p. But that one is a Jewel!

Find a group of dependable people, find the nearest defensible area, barricade the doors, see what I can weaponize, check if my phone works. In that order. If we're stuck there for a while, I would assign everyone jobs based on skillsets, create a plan in case we get attacked, and once the coast is clear, take out a small group to look for resources (food, water, blankets, etc).
That's the plan, anyway. Realistically, I'd probably trip over my own shoelaces and get eaten immediately.

I grew up on a farm. I already know how to grow food, hunt food, and be quiet in the woods. So, my plan is just sit back and wait for everyone else to run out of bullets (can you tell I'm in the US?), then sell my potatoes and beans as the new gold. I have nothing about my home that screams "Great bunker for end of the world!" so it's highly unlikely anyone'll even try to break through the fence. I allow our perimeter to be overgrown with nasty stuff on purpose (ever seen poison ivy thick as your arm?). And so forth and so on.
TLDR: Stay put, live like my gramps did 100 years ago, watch the world burn.

In my dreams:
A: Runs away to a remote island in the middle of nowhere with some friends and family and lives there for the rest of my life

Gather as many survivors as possible, and bring them all to one place that is close to a store. Food, Water, and maybe even clothing problems are solved. Lock every door that leads to the outside. If the food or water runs out, pile into a bus and get to the nearest other place with food. And always remember that anything can be used as a weapon.

Since it's unlikely it will start anywhere near the village I live in:
Plan A) Cut the forests around for logs and build a pallisade using the outer line of buildings as wall. Power can be provided by the renewable sources we have around, food comes from our local farmers. We also have some hunters and metal workshops, so weapons won't be a problem either.
Plan B) Meet up with my best friend, grab some of the guns her father has on his shooting range and find a remote, defendable position that isn't too obvious and would attract a lot of other people (like supermarkets) - probably one of the old mines around.

if it gets cold where you live, the freezing frost will kill all the zombies.

Get my family to our off-grid cabin up in the hills. Then, wait for as much of the initial mayhem to die down, and head north. Find a new place to settle down up there, holing up during the summer, and venturing out when it is freezing. (Dead flesh still freezes solid, even if the frozen creature does not die). Stock up on supplies, break as many frozen zombies as possible, and return to the crib before the spring thaw. Stay heavily armed, vigilant, and stocked. Learn how to repair and maintain everything we use, as well as how to cultivate food in greenhouses. I think that about covers it.
Yup, as soon as I get that off-grid cabin built, I'll be ready.

Since I tend to think about these situations a lot, here's my plan:
- Get 1-2 people I know well
- Gather stuff from my house that's useful ( Weapons, food, water, etc )
- Drive or walk to a remote, forested area
- Make a camouflaged base out of dirt, moss, etc ( Using those survival videos I watch as a reference, obviously )
- Start rationing food and begin to plan on scouting around for things to eat and drink
- Begin my life as a forest badass /hj
Oh, and for any zombie encounters, I'd either shoot them or if I need to preserve
ammo, I'd be sneaky and try to cut their head off from behind.
By the way, is it obvious I play The Last of Us?

I live on a farm so I feel like it would be easier for me than most to survive. First, I’d fortify the chicken coop and duck pen so that I can have a reliable source of eggs. Then, I’d kill the sheep for food, and kill most of the horses except for one or two for transportation. I’d move into the barn loft (it has lots of hiding places), and I’d use the stalls as separate rooms for keeping weapons. There’s also a pond on the farm, so I’d keep my fishing rods and use that for food as well. I’d fortify the vegetable gardens and plant more food besides just watermelons lol. I’d keep my donkeys as guard animals and I’d keep my dogs for moral support.

1) Assuming I'm at my home, Get what I need (Some food and water, pocket knife, clothes, ect), If not, get the most useful things in the surrounding area.
2) Then, go to my local bookstore. Get books on survival and plant identification, as well as dealing with wildlife encounters. Also go to a camping/survival store and medical supply store.
3) Steal a car. Nothing personal, just every man for himself in an apocalypse
4) Invite my friends and family to come with me, obviously.
5) travel to a remote location in the mountains with whoever accepts, making sure I'm far from humanity.
6) Assign each person a job based on their unique skill sets, eventually building walls around the small civilization and picking up and survivors that happen along.

I haven't put a lot of thought into it, but I'd definitely try to find or contact my cousin. He's a prepper and he does contract work for the US military, so he probably has a good plan. He also has way too many guns, and those would probably be useful.

Well, I don't think I'd be a great fighter, and I quite enjoy having electricity and internet, and fresh food, and things like that, so probably become a billionaire before the apocalypse starts, and then build a well defended house in the mountains, fully stocked, and powered by like solar panels and windmills and things.
However, that's frankly unrealistic, so I'd just hope for the best and try not to die.

Ohohoho- you have no idea.
1) Locate the important people (those dear to me. Anyone who is unreachable, I check up on them via text or email.)
2) Abandon house. Im not sure how obvious the warning for an apocalypse would be, but either way I would take any necessary things. (Money, imperishable food, keepsakes, a journal and a few pens, clothes, and a blanket.)
3) This should have been said earlier, but I’d request an adult to make a trip to the store for supplies. Maybe the store itself could be a safe house, but I’d think no considering the perishables. The smell of rotting meat would attract zombies, no?
4) Have my parents communicate with someone who might have a bunker, or multiple people. While they do this, we might still be at home trying to keep quiet. I’d be charging all of our devices and charging blocks, as well as helping my sister pack.
After that, I’m surely not going to be in charge anymore, regardless of how useful I may be. Adults like to take charge. Especially extroverted ones. They’d probably enlist me as part of the gardening team or therapy team.
OH, DUH, I’D BRING A BIBLE LOL. Sorry, remembered that just now. I need to make a list so I don’t forget if an apocalypse really happens 🤔
Anyway, I’d probably fit somewhere among the gardeners, therapists, and entertainers. I wouldn’t be crucial to keeping us alive, but I’d be good for keeping everyone from losing it.
Of course, if I get infected, I’d be one heck of a chill zombie. Might try to eat someone’s brain once, but if you whap me on the (left) arm hard enough, I’ll get sad and won’t attack you if it means I can use your craft supplies.
Ideally.

Avoid big cities, and fortify a small area like a farm with a small group. Big cities like Toronto or Montreal (for Canada), or New York or LA (for the USA), might be ample in supplies like medicine or food, but there would be millions of zombies in them, effectively making them a death trap.
Work on things like cardio, lose weight, learn how to properly use weapons like firearms and bladed/blunt weapons without risk of injury, eat in moderation, and only occasionally leave to fetch supplies. Sometimes, surviving isn't being the best zombie killer, but knowing how to avoid danger.
This is also depending on what kind of zombies we would be getting, and how the infection spreads (through bites/scratches only, or death without the brain being destroyed). The slower zombies, like those of Night of the Living Dead, the Resident Evil games, or The Walking Dead are especially dangerous if they box you in.
Zombies like those from the Dawn of the Dead remake, World War Z, or Train to Busan, would be much harder to survive because of their speed. Even worse if they are smarter zombies like those from #Alive (an excellent South Korean film on Netflix), or the Hawking's/T-800's from Zombieland Double Tap.

zombies aren't immortal right, eventually, the zombies would die from exhaustion or hunger. and if any zombies survive that, they would need to survive the freezing winter months, or the boiling summer season.
no matter how you put it, all the zombies would die out in under two years

If anything, I think the decaying of the bodies would get zombies would make them disappear within a few months. And when you consider rigor mortis, assuming their bodies would act according to scientific reality, their muscles would be very tight, making them move incredibly slow (much slower than we see in the movies). I think the only ways zombies would last a long time is if the transmission vector isn't the conventional bite/scratch (like the Last of Us's cordyceps fungus, or the Walking Dead's airborne transmission upon death not involving damage to the brain), or if a combination of the military, police, and gun owners don't band together to eliminate them in the early goings of the outbreak (or the original town isn't carpet bombed out of existence).

We all have skeleton's in the cupboard. And we all fear that we will one day we will be dead and meet all our bad actions.
So - Zombies are the half dead who want to put right what they did wrong when they were alive, but they can't without eating a brain? Like they are bad people anyway, and they have no ability to change? That has to be the Zombie scare - what else?
The only resistance is to explore your darkest fears, apologise when you need to, and know when you don't need to.
And banish scary thoughts to the foolishness of 'Zombie'. Those Zombies will have nothing against the power of a resilient mind.

Mel Brooks son, Max Brooks, wrote books The "Zombie Survival Guide". and "Closure Limited and Other Zombie Tales". So if you like zombies ( they gross me out) those books are not humor. He also wrote some other end of world type books, and World War Z. The closest thing I've seen to zombies are heroin addicts. They don't eat brains but walk the same, aren't coherent and dress the same. I"'m not ragging on addicts, I wish them the best of recovery. Wow that went off track.

Easy, take over the local school with a small selection of my friends - allowing pets. We will start a farm of both regular plants, those trendy micro greens, and aquaponics. The school has generators and solar panels so electricity shouldn't be much of an issue. Over time we will break into every storeroom and classroom so we will control the entire school, we will not accept people we do not know and the people we do have to have a specific value to us as individuals or they have to have a skill or attribute that makes them a desirable member of the group, no food will be wasted on a useless idiot. Hopefully, the empire will expand to the local housing and shop next to and around the school so we will have a larger space to develop into a formidable home base, from there we would organise trips to the nearby hospitals and shopping centres for supplies as needed. The only issue really would be the local idiots, but I know how to make all sorts of weaponry and gasses so they wouldn't be an issue for long :)
