I guess it depends on the size of the island.  I was picturing a fairly small one, maybe large enough for a few villages or some cottages.  However even then, unless your going to put in place some kind of Aztec-esque human sacrificial practices then your island will eventually over populate then you have the choices of moving to another island or going to mainland areas.  

I was also going under the assumption that the undead can't starve to death so they will still be there waiting for humans to return.  As for the crops, unless your planing on growing vegetation native to the island you picked than your going to need to bring all the seed with you for the first years crops (which is fine just make sure you don't forget while your gathering ammo, weapons and good looking female survivors).

Actually I was thinking a fairly good sized island.  Something that was inhabited before but not over inhabited.  

I would also think that, eventually, all of the zombies would rot from natural exposure.  Perhaps not those that were locked in malls etc but, if after a few years, you HAD to venture forth to the mainland, I'm guessing the zombies that hadn't decayed because they were locked indoors and thus protected from the elements wouldn't be much of a threat.

You fail to consider that other groups of survivors might stay in the mainlands, and eventually themselves be turned. If this is the case, and I consider it likely, there would still be some zombies wandering around in relatively good shape.

Even more frightening, is that the spartan existance led by those survivors would result in lean, strong zombies with well developed musculature, compared to the fat lazy beer drinking bbs reading zombies we will encounter initially.

rural areas...theres a reason zombie movies take place in blue cities...and britain.

even in suburban areas...there shouldnt be more than a few hundred zombies in a wal-mart...they have big wide open parking lots, get on top of a tall vehicle, and start shooting.

even Molotov cocktails are going to do a lot of damage to a group of zombies...as long as you stay high enough that they cant reach you.

I would like to nominate this for the most well thought out and well reasoned post of the entire thread Hubs..

an island would simply be a base..  once you were there you would have breathing room..  there would be more boat stuff around than you know what to do with and... probly ammo and firearms...  no decent male doesn't have ammo and firearms stashed.

You don't have to hit the mainlands viking style... you can hit other islands from your base and clear em... gather what they have or whatever... you can hit any of the thousands of well stocked dock areas on the mainland too... one group to hit the dock and search and one sniper group standing off with high powered rifles.

you should have plenty of everything for decades... if you are a little cautious.. you will be in no danger..

If the zombies win... then you simply have to wait till they all are so decayed that you can get more inland and eventually... the whole planet will be yours for the taking...

If they lose..... you need to worry about what kind of government the victorious survivors have established... you should be able to tell which way the wind blows by the radio and any survivors you happen to run across..

I would, of course, be running the whole thing.   The dawning of a brave new world is upon us!

In Romero's Zombie world there are no animal zombies. I guess that's where the premise came forth.

I thought we'd established that animals don't reanimate?

If zombie birds are really an issue, why not get a bunch of zombie barncats? They're basically velociraptors with fur- the zombie birds would get destroyed. We're talking zombie sparrows and finches here, not pterodactyls.
