:rofl :rofl

I don't want to be around people now as it is...in that situation it would be just me and the kids.....in the woods in gillie suites with bows....never hear us...never see us....even in the middle of a herd.

errr....and the wife.....looking around to see where she is..... :uhoh
what ya need with ghillie suits? you would be better off with some sort of scent block and some base camo clothing...that is assuming the premise that zombies are visually impaired but they can smell you.  :rofl  i've been thinking a modified take down recurve with spare parts. pvc core aluminum arrows with 100gr broadheads. if i had an unlimited supply of arrows i'd do all diy explosive tips, maybe 22mag rat shot.

so, if zombies can be killed with a brain puncture...how is it that there are zombies with holes in their skulls/brains or half their heads missing?

the gillie suit will make ya blend in....if they cant see ya, they cant get ya....as far as scent goes I would think after living out doors you wont smell so "Human"...same with hunting.... I would leave my hunting clothes outside in the ground....

I think being quit would be the most important to survival in that situation.....a bow would be perfect...I love crossbows but in that situation a bow would be better IMO.

head wounds maybe they happened while alive being attacked....so never had their zombie head destroyed... :headscratch:

My girlfriend noticed that too.  She also pointed out that in season 1 they looked almost human, almost.  Now they look a lot more decomposed. Is it possible that since they are dead and decomposing, eventually they will just fall apart and be gone? 

Another something to think on.  Do zombies breathe?  Since they are up and walking around I assume their muscles work.  Don't muscles require oxygen to function, thus requiring blood flow, thus requiring a working heart?  If this theroy is correct, wouldn't a heart or lung shot incapacitate a zombie?  Maybe not kill it since the brain is what comes back to life, but immobilize it.  Just something to think about.

there is a bunch of things "questionable" with the whole zombie thing....but thats why its called imagination :D

in reality im thinking the bodies would eventually rot till nothing is left...but then what is keeping it alive?....once the flesh rots there would be no more zombie....

Just for the record.  My previous post was not picking on the show or anything, just some stuff to think about.

According to Max Brook's writings, the virus that is at work is toxic to living creatures, even microbes and bacteria. This slows the natural rate of decay.

If the bones (skulls in particular) get weaker then a silenced .22LR pistol or rifle may be the way to go.  Having anything else bigger than that would be a waste of energy.  Think of it as using a sledgehammer to kill a bug. 

These discussions are getting fun.  LOL!   :)
