    Hate to tell you this but those of us who lived in those mountains got real laughs out of flat landers that were gong to run to the mountains to live in an emergency. We hoped they'd bring really stuffed backpacks of supplies so we'd get a good variety of stuff when we came across their carcasses wherever they dropped. We always bet that we'd get bunches of rolls of toilet paper, HA. Most people have not clue one how to survive at altitude. Most of em end up hopelessly lost their first day out and you end up with the cops at your door asking if you and your dog have the time to go find them. If you've never lived in mountains, for god's sakes don't run to them when you get scared. It won't end well.

      No Sal, we would only run up into the mountains, to find the secret military base underground with 5 years worth of food, and hopefully toilet paper!

      Nothing like a 3 course meal after a hard days work zombie whacking!

        Why would I hide? Lots of hot women will become zombies. After they are brain dead zombies, my chances improve. And they are naturally attracted to brains...so, once they see the size of my head, I'll be a hot commodity.

        And zombies make terrible buying decisions...I'll get rich, selling them cauliflower, telling them that it's brains.

        And if they are the really fast, crazed zombies...they'll need running shoes......

        I'm a real "Glass half full" kind of guy.

          Half full? Most of us here think you're completely full of it.

          Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
          So that blind people can hate them as well.

        Never noticed you weren't an American before. I've never been to the UK so don't know what the "mountains" of the Isle's there are like. I would suggest, if you're a Londoner, it might be a good thing not to try to do the Alps at any rate.

          I'll embrace my inner caveman and climb the mountain and hunt like the olden days, kinda hoping this zombie lark isn't going to happen!
