Longer than most, not as long as some.

What are the differences between the two types of zombies? I haven't seen WD, but from the gist of the thread they don't sound as mean as the zombies in 28 Days Later.

Probably a long time. We have thousands of small uninhabited stands in the inner channels with plenty of things to harvest.

The problem with 28 days later “zombies” is twofold. Speed is the killer here, there’s no safely getting away once you’re spotted. But furthermore, the infection method. Like AIDs in North Baton Rouge, it’s easily spread through the bloodstream, not just bites.

I would live a very long time amongst TWD, and not long at all in 28 Days.

I feel I have a good shot since the people on the show don't use common sense and the zombies are fairly easy to kill. The biggest threat will always be people trying to take what you have. Best bet would be to hide out somewhere remote and live alone or with as few people as possible.

Lawlz about maybe a day after the outbreak. Possibly less.

First - hopefully until old age. A lot of family land back up in the woods near the Savannah River. Should be defensible, however people would be a bigger threat than zombies. If people were out of the equation and weren't general a-hole looter/killers, then as long as we had a way to keep the zombies out of the land then I don't see an issue. Tools/equipment/etc would be a concern, though.

Second - 28 days later type. There really isn't much one can do unless its some pacific island or something.

It all depends on how much Warfarin I have available. As long as my supply is consistent I’ll have a chance. If I run out, I’ll last about four days and then it’s over.

I read and posted in the original Zombie Apocalypse thread (RIP) so I know everyone's plans and will act accordingly.

Probably not long because I’d do everything to protect my kids and family

Might be safer outside that Grand Isle wall. I could see some scary stuff going on in that apocalyptic society.

In the city with only a pistol, maybe a day or two. On the outskirts with provisions. Much longer.
