Building vs. Cliff in the Zombie Apocalypse


                   Angry Zombie Halloween (Angry Birds)




When looking for shelter from zombies you might think, “Oh I’ll just go on the top of a building and barricade myself in.” Unfortunately, this idea might lead to a slow, stupid death. Even if you do barricade yourself in you will still have to worry about fires. Brick buildings and cliffs don’t have to worry about this unless those buildings have furniture and wood support.

Superficially, a cliff is a great idea! You may remember having to scale a rock wall in high school – only a few of those healthy, living kids could get to the top while the out of shape just sat and watched. Climbing a cliff is way different, and sometimes nowhere to even grab onto. If the fatties said no way to a rock wall in high school, then you know what the zombies are thinking!

With a cliff you can use a pulley system to get yourself up and down and get supplies. However, that means climbing with all of those pulleys and rope systems. I don’t know about you, but I was one of those fatties and there is no way I’m going to climb with pulleys and ropes. To each their own, though. 
Buildings have stairways that hordes of zombies can fill up and go nowhere in. This creates a perfect opportunity to drill a murder hole, like in a castle, and just mow every zombie down. However, one could still be alive while it’s lying on the ground and bite you on the ankle. 

Cliffs are exposed to the elements, and unless you pull some building supplies up before some zombies get to you your toast. The sun will burn you, all of your water will evaporate, and you might get blown off by a freak gust of wind – same with a tall building. So in a nut shell tall buildings are dumb and cliffs are even dumber. Choose a building and die from a fire or starvation. Choose a cliff and risk an attack from a zombie eagle.

If you had to choose shelter in the zombie apocalypse what would it be and why?

  1. I would chose either

    A mall because it would have many things nearby you could use to survive. We have all seen the movies and games.

    A twinkie factory, do I really need to explain this one?

  4. An apartment highrise. There would certainly be an excellent cache of weapons and foodstuffs located throughout.Also excellent 360 degree vantage points and access can be easily limited floor by floor.
