Also, just wanted to post, Rowdy (Merle) definitely did not put a bunch of zombies in the back of that van and carry them up the mountain. There was no partition between the back and the front, and they would have eaten his arse.
I'm not ruling out the possibility of them following him back to camp, or him leading them there on purpose, but my guess is it's just them not being vigilant enough and not heading the warning signs (the single zombie in episode 2).

shite if I just sawed my hand off and had been handcuffed on a rooftop for a few days, the last thing on my mind at the moment of my escape would be getting a hoard of zombies to follow me out of town for revenge.
Just saying

This has to be a pandemic, so moving away from Atlanta to lesser populated towns etc is a smart survival tactic.

What y'all aren't thinking of is yes, ideally you would be in a yacht on the coastline. But if a pandemic did break out, it would be harder than frick to get outside the city with traffic and zombies prancing around. You would be better off getting whatever food you can, barricading the he'll out
Of your house and taking a nap for a month. Also everyone keeps hating on rick for going back in the city but he said he's going back for the walkie talkie or whatever to keep his promise tothe black dude.

Maybe, or it could be localised region the zombies contained by natural barriers ( rivers).
Perhaps the helicopter was flying over to ascertain the extent of the outbreak. Hell perhaps the helicopter picked up Merle.

That would be lame as hell. I want a global catastrophe

TENN-Tom to the west and Tennesse to the north. Then Mountains to the north. Thats almost a quarter of the country. Maybe something got loose from the CDC and infected people. Maybe the feds quartined the whole region. Nothing goes in and nothing gets out. That would suck arse situation to be in.

I love all the people suggesting getting on a boat. Apparently, they've never read World War Z. Zombies don't breathe, people. They can walk along the bottom of the lakebed and pull your anchored boat down.
For the record, I don't mind them going to the mountains. Find the high ground is almost always a good idea because you can see for long distances and have early alert. But the people wasted the high ground and settled in a clearing in the middle of a forest. They had no early warning.
BTW - I already have my zombie disaster plan. We're all supposed to meet at Mrs. Baloo's family ranch in the Texas Hill Country. Her dad stocks it full of MRE's and guns in case the revolution comes.

Said it before I could.
Boat seems like a good idea til the Zeds sink that bitch by pulling it under or just pull themselves up onto it. World War Z is an amazing novel that shows this happening pretty often. Great read for those that haven't read it yet

Well, I never thought of that, I just figured they couldn't technically walk underwater, much less have the muscle fortitude to actually walk against water pressure. But as stated, Zombies are paranormal.
Also, Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z are now on order from Amazon. I have to plan my survival plan carefully.

Always remember, it's not one zombie that's the problem. It's thousands of zombies that is the problem.

At first I questioned camping in the woods with tents as refuge, but here's a few points:
- It's up a mountain deep in the hills. No one likely lives up there for miles. And is not in Atlanta itself.
- Granted the woods provide cover for the zombies and you can't exactly see them coming, but with the woods and the quarry lake you have the opportunity for scarce food and water.
It does seem they could beef up security tho:
- take the school buses, park them around the perimeter, then use the huge rocks from the quarry to fill in the gaps.
- Have one entrance and one exit. Kind of like the messican gang in Atlanta.
- Worse comes to worse. have the canoe and other floating rafts to get into the quarry lake in until the attacking zombies either leave or dround.
Am I the only one who thinks like that? frick digging holes, catching frogs, fishing, or going back to Atlanta to save a crazy redneck.
I'm building a fricking rock wall, lookout towers, booby traps, and a moat.
Once I'm secure, I'm figuring out how to build weapons, electricity, fuel source, and sup'ing up vehicles in case the worse happens.
Glad someone thinks the way I do. They are all just sitting around shooting the shite. How about putting some fricking bear traps down to stop the zombies or at least string the whole perimeter with noise makers. frick, after nightfall move to some type of barge on the water.
Great idea about circling the vehicles.
When they go into town with the vehicles, why didn't they mount some straight blades to the sides of the car/trucks and just cut all the frickers into pieces. You aren't wasting amunition, you are driving anyway and you can take them out en masse. They really need a welder in the group.

I thought about that, but wouldn't that take some thinking from the zombies?

The only thing they did wrong was not set up a better perimeter. And if it has been only one month like some believe, no way they set up watch towers and all that shite. They'd have to cut down woods and such to build those and that probably would make a whole hell of a lot of noise not to mention the time it would take.
Gotta believe they stayed in their homes (barricaded) until they ran out of provisions , met with other people, had to traverse out of town (for the first time), etc.
It took the hero 2 days to get out and that was with two well coordinate groups.
They had guns with em at eating time so that is probably how they stayed protected at night, and you take away 3 guns= 3 positions not being guarded at night.
Within the month time that is possibly being used, they were probably up there no more than 2 weeks and you really think, in your mind, that Zed hordes would be up there that fast?

Stone Mountain park is a few miles outside the loop, and there is mining for granite there. That would explain the rock quarry look to the lake and makes sense, except for their run from town to their camp. That would be a long haul for people who haven't trained for a marathon.
Also there is plenty of population around the Stone Mountain area and beyond. Atlanta suburbs go far beyond the city so if they are camping in view of the city skyline their are plenty of zom's in the area I can assure you!
If they were to look for a safe place to live in town there is no place better than Turner Field. If going in to the less populated area's, Lake Lanier is north of town and has plenty of houseboats and small islands on it. Of course someone brought up the fact that zombies are dead and can't drown so this may not be as good an idea as I originally thought. IF you go north of Lake Lanier you get in to the Ga mountains. Personally if I was going to go that far I would follow my first option of heading to the coast and taking refuge in an old fort. But that wouldn't make for good TV I guess.

Ever hit a fricking deer head on? Totals the truck. Now imagine hitting 500 Zombies head on. Through your windshield. You're dead buddy. I just saved your life. That just happened.

These dead appear to be pretty fricking stupid. Why would they grab a chain. If all they have are their basic instincts to eat and limited senses how the frick would they know that an anchor line is holding the boat in place?

Well, see in this Universe, I have argued they're not completely dumb. One picked up a rock and bashed the glass in yesterday. That took some thought process. Entirely plausible they track underwater and pull an anchor line if they can bash a window with a rock.
