380 days of Zombieland sun and fun for me.
I wish there were more questions about bladed weapons. I picked a shotgun over a knife but a Claymore, broadsword, or Katana doesn't run out of ammo.

Assuming I didn't shoot myself in the head on day one, I'd last 380 days too.

I'm sorry. I have to ask. Is said shooting accidental or on purpose?  :o

Too close to call. I could see myself deciding not to intentionally shoot myself in the head and then accidentally shooting myself while putting the gun down.

Now that I give it more thought, the 380 day estimate may be wildly optimistic.

376 days for me. I plan to spend those days obliterating the walking dead, then spending my hours away from the violence working arduously to repopulate the planet.  ;D

364, not quite a year. I'm guessing I'm too soft and have no combat training or weapons.

Apparently I'd make it only 353 days, I suspect for much the same reasons as what Monty listed.

Maybe flame-thrower would be a bad pick.
Hot damn! I always wanted to try a flame-thrower. More realistically I would go Katana and staff. My axe is a good plan B, I can swing the fibreglass axe all day.

if i could just make it to Jarhead's Manison and Smuck would show up also ...it would increase 10 000+ i bet  ;D
(so i hope i am in CONUS, probably at JFK for a connecting flight when the shit hits the fan)

...when i am here i would go to a nearby mediaval castle, includes an eases to denfend Bergfried with inside-well and a museum full of hit n slay arms inside the main buildings ;) ...and the tourist restaurants nearby will provide a stockpile of food to gether and store at a safer place inside the walls)

425.

No surprise there.

I got 368.  I'd help loved ones, I don't own a firearm and I need to shed a lot of weight.
Any time is a good time for pie.

I ran this as if I were half my age and got 402.

There's no way survive in their estimation. I sense a Kobayashi Maru is appropriate.
