PC How many days would the real you survive?

But...you don't have a forge! How are you going to make glass jars? You have snow but how are you going to purify and drink it if you don't a have any glass jars and a campfire? You obviously won't have enough wood to keep these going for that long.....and no battery bank to store the solar power! You can't just wire this up without the wire clippers! SMH

Oh, there's plenty of barrels, cans and such. There's even beer still in the bar (left from 1982) still sitting on the counter. They even have generators. Mind you, my fuel probably won't last long and I don't know if I have enough fuel to dig the 2.5 miles down to the deposits.

given that pic, I can see why you would probably at least *try* to dig down to some deposits.  Those ...2.... cans on the left might be tempting after a good day of digging.

In the "real" apocalypse, the winter biome would be effective. I've lived on the Greenland ice sheet for months at a time. Nothing lives out there. Eventually, the zombie dogs, people, etc. will run out of nutrients and die off. I just have to outlive them. 250 miles from the nearest civilization of 600 people. Considering that not even birds were able to live there, I'll be fine. I even have a cute little shelter pictured here that I can stay at.

If this scene were the real 7 Days to Die, there would be nothing but lumberjacks.

 
But even when you got tree's around.

I think most of use would suffer the skills to craft a "useable" stone axe to harvest them ! 🙂

 
1 second, then I would commit die by eating glass.  Who would want to live in a world where you can't create dank memes?

 
Expressing my own opinion, people who are in the cities, as I believe, are safer than those who are in the villages. Naturally, after the outbreak of the epidemic (as for example now), many services will adopt a state of emergency. Including the army and special" units " of medics. Based on this idea, it is best for ordinary people to hide in their own apartments and wait for news.
Being in bunkers, or even more so "Rimbaud-survivalists" - will be much more dangerous. The epidemic is likely to be stopped, if certain services are operational.

In other cases, only by uniting people can survive normally.

 
In real world scenario it just the luck the define your survival. If you are in crowded place when it start, you might not even survive 10 minute, but if you are hiking and off population you might get chance. Then where you left alone, if that place is full of z or very rare, what resources are available. 

Also in real world anyone will search for fellow survivor and start growing community, as that is best chance to live longer assumming you find one.

I've seen how people react to a toilet paper shortage, so I can't imagine how crazy cities would get when the military puts an entire metropolitan area under quarantine and no food is coming in. In rural areas there's opportunities to farm and hunt to be self sustainable, and lower numbers of infected you'd run into which greatly increases your survivability. Urban areas would fall to famine a few weeks after supply lines are cut, and all those people holding up in apartments will be surrounded by thousands of infected roaming the streets (in a 7DTD scenario).

 
I would die day one for sure.

My son says that to increase the chances of him, my daughter, and my grandchildren's survivability that if the zombie apocalypse happens, his first step will be to give me mercy. A disabled grandmother is too likely to get others killed.

I love my kids.

You don't need to imagine, just watch what's happening in some cities in CCP China... people are forbidden to leave their apartements and are starving, while the ones brave enough to go against the lock-down are arrested (or worse). Some have lost their mind/patience because they needed medicine for their relatives and knifed down a man trying to stop them. Sadly we don't need zombies to get crazy (in cities). So basically I agree, cities are the worst place to be under a pandemic.

Yeah... in any crazy, society ending situation a city is the last place you'd want to be.  Remember, 7DTD starts after society has already broken down.  There is no military to call on or government or anything else.

Accurate. According to Max Brooks book The Zombie Survival Guide, cities are the worst area to be in as a zombie apocalypse is occuring. The high population density makes it for a proportional zombified people density and it may be extremely difficult to navigate into this raging chaos with the intention of getting out of there. Streets will be filled and clogged with corpses, people in panic, damaged vehicles with many being on fire and obviously with lots of zombies.

Best examples of this is any time the protagonists have something to do in Atlanta, in The Walking Dead and the opening sequence in Philadelphia, in World War Z.

The first thing to do would be to leave the city ASAP, if its remotely possible. Idealy, one shouldnt even be in a city in the first place and refrain from going back in it. The out-country still remains the best place to be, as close as possible to Earth's north and south poles (like protagonists do in 28 Days Later, in the last stretch of the movie).

 
I'd recommend that most folk go to the south pole. At least you've got McMurdo. Up north, we lived in tents on the ice sheet. Even the summit station isn't a permanent structure and must be moved every few years. That, and the 200+ mph winds can be a bit intense for some. 

 
Considering that I am a gamer that doesn't do much exercise and would have just my wits to fall back on, I'm guessing that I'd be pretty dead fairly soon... unless I could build my cheese base in time. Then I'd be fine :)
