[Overpaid Slacker]

OK, I had a lot of time on the road this weekend to contemplate this, and since I was heading upstate (NY) I had an idea --

How about just going as far north as possible (if you're in the northern hemisphere)? Though zombies might not feel pain, etc. (I guess) would mother nature take care of them by freezing them? The traditional zombie is not known for bundling up and would likely be done in by the elements.

All the other ideas about weapons/defenses/strongholds would still apply to a greater or lesser degree, but I'm thinking some vast northern wilderness, though it'd make life a little tougher on the living, would wreak havoc on the undead. And there'd naturally be fewer people around to have been zombified.

Oh, and as far as vampirism goes, where do I sign up? I've already got the classic Irish complexion, so the sun doesn't particularly like me anyway.
