Zombie Apocalypse

So I have recently become addicted to The Walking Dead. I love zombie stories. I don't know why, I just do; don't judge me. So I was discussing zombie survival plans with some co-workers yesterday. Not that I think a zombie apocalypse-uprising will ever happen but if it does isn't it better to be safe than sorry? Hopefully the early signs of a worldwide disease-infection will cause my paranoia to kick in and I'll start getting things together. I'm assuming Kelsie will not yet be infected so the two of us will travel together. Stay in town no more than a week. Gather as many supplies as we can reasonably carry. Canned foods (corn, asparagus, beans, lentils, spam, etc. etc.) are a top priority. Likewise a can opener will be vital. You don't want to be the guy sitting on a throne of canned goods and the end of the world only to discover you failed to grab something to open them. My knapsack will be loaded down with the cans as well as a small, portable stove. I will also carry any bottles-canteens of water we will bring. Kelsie will carry the blankets, bars of soap, and an envelope of photographs to remember our life prior the the end of the world. We will also be packin' knives. I mean armed to the teeth in knives, machetes, daggers, probably a spear... My weapon of choice will be a Louisville Slugger. I will require Kelsie to carry a spear, I don't want her to get into too close of combat. I will also one handgun with two bullets in it, one for her and one for me, should we get bit. Easier than suffering. We will make our way up north, perhaps to the boundary waters and get a canoe. We will canoe to a island that is removed enough from land to not attract attention from the undead but not so far that we will have trouble getting back if the need ever arises. Ideally the zombie uprising will occur in the spring to provide enough time in the heat to get to our island and begin building a cabin. Now that I think about it my lack of carpentry skills may be a hindrance. I should take a class for that. Regardless. This is where we will make our home when the zombies rise up. We will not join forces with other survivors. You don't know who you can trust in those days. We will be like Adam and Eve, but instead of a paradise world in the Middle East, it will be a forest island on the border of Canada.
