When it comes to casually candid conversations concerning the cataclysmic conditions of an apocalypse (those of the zombie variety in particular) the first topic is always on-hand or potential weapons caches. With everyone assuming the world will end in a free-for-all, shoot-a-thon. Without taking into consideration a potentially infinite number of targets, versus a finite ammunition supply.
Secondly, discussions of where and what would make the best anti-undead (like a weird double-negative there) stronghold come into play. As though you’d get to pick, like the world is your oyster. Always forgetting the hard shell you have to crack to get there. In finding an ideal shelter you’ll have to be very clever, very lucky or learn to make do with what you can find, making sure material needs are met is important. However, plans of dealing the psychological effects of such an event oft fall by the wayside. In the end, one’s sanity will be the hardest resource to come by and maintenance of one’s sense of humor even more so.
