Here's my zombie prep.
The Plan: To find a safe house far from civilization, but not way off the map. To be self efficient and live off the land. Try to stay away from towns for the most part. Be observant of the current situation, do not totally isolate your self. Remember, towns are full of people, that will probably have the highest zombie count.
The Group; Make sure you know who you're going to take with you. More than likely, you will have some warning of the zombie outbreak, before it reaches your area. It is up to you who you would group with, if at all possible. Personally, my group will be very small. Family and a few friends we can trust. You'll also have to establish who will be leading early in the game.
Planning Ahead of Time Don't wait for the disaster to happen and then try to make your plan. Map out possible safe locations, (If your really, "Paranoid" you'll maybe even own property somewhere to construct a safe location). It is best to have everything you need ahead of time. When an outbreak occurs, you will not want to have to gather supplies in town. More than likely, looting and violence will have already started. This is the time that your try to group up and head out. Given the situation appears to be escalating out of control.
Be Prepared, You Gotta Eat: Be prepared for anything. Obtain the knowledge to live off the land, hunt for meat, and grow your own food. We've got a stockpile of seeds, all of which are heirloom (That means you can collect the seeds from the plant), and we have the knowledge of planting them , harvesting, and collecting seeds (Lots to know). In the case of an emergency, you cant grow produce that first year, so have stocked up food supplies. It is also key to posses knowledge of food storage. We know how to preserve meats and vegetables. We save some of our current produce for storage by dehydrating it (Good for 2-4 years), just add water. This method takes up less space, we do it every year in case an event happens (It's not like being prepared is a big chore, we live our life as normal, and we have no reason to be paranoid, we're all set). We also know how to make our own beef/deer jerky, good for 1-2 years, can be eaten as is. It is good to have enough meals for at least 2 years, 3 meals per day. That will not be able to be carried by back, so at least 3-6 months of food. If you have a vehicle, pack it smart. Don't forget about water. You'll definitely want different ways of purifying water!
Good basic staples: Wheat, Rice, Beans, Peas, Lentils, Honey or Sugar, Salt
Dried Milk, Peanut Butter, Dried Fruit, Canned food, Dried food, Oatmeal.
We're Going Camping: Now is a good time to evaluate what you'll carry, and have it ready for moments notice. Don't bog yourself down with too much. Assuming you have a vehicle to make it to your safe-house, a lot can be carried. You'll want to bring: your food, ammunition, weapons, clothing, survival gear, and supplies. Here's a brief list of important items: stocked food, basic cookware, matches, more matches, water purification and filters, flashlights, water bottles/canteens, compass, duck-tape, multitool, compass, maps, sewing kits, space-blankets, small shovel/E-tool, machete, hatchet, paracord, supply of fishing line and hooks, medical supplies, bleach, gun cleaning supplies, materials such as plastic, rope, cloth, ect, heavy duty clothing -summer and winter, camo never hurts, more info can be found on the web.
Defense: Defense is important, you might be fending off a hoard of zombies, or defending yourself from humans that want what you have. Either way, you'll need weapons! One important tip, keep your group shooting the same ammo. Personally, I feel it is good to chose upon one side arm caliber, and one rifle caliber. Personally, I favor the 9mm or .45 auto for handguns, 5.45×39mm or 7.62x39mm, and .22Lr. Yea, I did say 22 long rifle. Ammo can be carried by the thousands, high cap mags that hold 50rnds plus, and it's light. I wouldn't necessarily want to fight zombies with it, but it is still a great choice to have for: Target practice, small game hunting, and hey, it might take down a zombie. My personal favorite choice for a 22, is the Ruger 10/22 combined with a high quality scope.
Side Arm: You'll definitely want a side arm with stopping power, ammo capacity, and reliability.
My choices would be a Glock 17 in 9mm, Smith and Wesson model 59 in 9mm, or a 1911 in .45 auto.
All are easy to reload, reliable, and light weight.
Medium Range Rifle Choice: You'll want a reliable weapon capable of shooting lots of ammo before it's next cleaning, reliable, east to reload, and a large ammo capacity. For this, I would want an AK 74. No other. The AK74 is a rugged weapon, with good accuracy, and reliable. Ammo is relatively cheap, light enough, and high capacity mags and drums are available. Compared to the AK47, the 74's recoil is low. The 74 is easy to control, and keep rounds going to the target, and not into the air.
Melee Weapon: This is mostly your choice. But pick something smart. You'll use your melee weapon when your up close and personal with zombies. It has to be an efficient and effective weapon. I would not advise a golf club, the part that would deal out damage is at the end. My personal favorite would probably be a baseball bat/hard pipe, and a nice machete. The baseball bat is capable of damaging the brain, and it wont get stuck into the flesh and bone. If that happens, you'll waste time taking it out, our have to leave it behind. I would not advise an axe for this reason.
