    The Rockies. There’s already a low population in a lot of areas, millions of acres set aside as wilderness, fresh water and game, wood, steep terrrain, fire lookouts/ranger cabins/cabins/abandoned mines. Winter show would also slow/hinder zombies and make for an easier kill. The downside is that I know I wouldn’t be the only one and the main threat would be all the other backcountry survivalists heading for the hills and defending their resources.

    a 1950s school building. they were built like castles. have wide open lawns and high towers. windows were at least a story above grade, and the glass had that mesh embedded inside.

    any windows or doors that are at grade can easily be barricaded or already are with high grade steel cages.

    bonus if there’s an internal courtyard that can be used as a field for growing crops, water retention area, and just an outdoor exercise area.

    schools already have a cafeteria and kitchen, showers, fitness and entertainment, first-aid and medical, an entire library, science/biological labs. many schools have also been retrofitted with solar panels as well.

    a school is really the best place to hold up for any kind of natural disaster.

    There was a movie/TV show where the character was hunkered down in a wind turbine. Always thought it was a clever idea.

    I got an old abandoned insane asylum on the top of a hill next to a naturally occurring spring kinda near me. You really couldn’t ask for a better location. Farm on the roof.

    Look, I need to spend my efforts on the toxicity and climate collapse apocalypse. I would WELCOME zombies at this point.

    Costco.

    Small number of secure entrances. A lifetime supply of batteries and solar kits. Tons of shelf stable food and drink. Clothing. Tacky home decor to make the apocalypse feel more homey.

    It would be great.

      Fully stocked pharmacy, comfy mattresses, tvs and video games, car batteries and inverters to run the entertainment, and sometimes even citrus trees to prevent scurvy.

      Downside is that without power to the building you have a lot of work to do to dump all the fresh food before it stinks up the place. That dairy cooler alone would get disgusting real quick.

      It would be great if there wasn’t thousands of other people in your city who had the exact same idea.

    Billionaire’s bunker island. Be the security guy with a gun that realizes that money doesn’t matter when civilization falls.

      You know what’s cool about bunkers? They have fresh air intakes.

      You know what’s cool about me? I know how to use expanding foam insulation.

        Good point. But there should be a protocol to prevent innocent victims. Perhaps some way to clearly advertise that the bunker is free of infection by any original Epstein class owners…

        Water, concrete, metal; halothane, sevo or carfent and naloxone if you want them alive.

        You can find air intakes with smoke or microphone array cameras. Construction equipment is fleet keyed if you want to live out your Apocalypse dream and bulldoze or excavate.
