Whoever said "Go North" had the right idea. Zombies, like he said, don't have enough brainpower to wear thicker clothing, or bring any sources of heat (or know how to use them, for that matter). Zombies also don't give off any body heat (being dead and all) meaning that they'd easily freeze in the north. Northern Canada will be an excellent location to go. Get the right supplies, and find yourself a steady source of food (fishing will be pretty good, I'd say, as I doubt a zombie will try to infect a fish, even IF a zombie could get up there without freezing).
But it also depends on if this is an airborne virus (like in The Waking Dead, except it kills you, it doesnt wait for you to die), or if it's ONLY bites. It's likely it will be from only bites, but originate from a certain species of animal or bug/insect. Otherwise, there'd be no zombie apocolypse, as it's pretty easy to kill one or two guys trying to eat you. It's different when its a swarm of bugs that wiped out a village, and then spread all over the place.
Virus in the air = You're probably going to die anyways, unless you're so far away from the source point, it's too weak by the time it reaches you.
Through bites from other zombies or bugs = Go north. It's likely the bugs wont be able to survive in colder weather, and a dead body definitely wont be able to.
Everyone remember that once the situation is 'solved', going anywhere near the ocean is a no-no. Due to being dead, Zombies can't really drown, and it's more than likely that the next hit series, as a sequel to "Walking Dead" will be "Swimming Dead". Not swimming. But imagine putting your foot in a pool and a dead person's hand coming up to grab your leg.
The first thing anyone should do, at the FIRST SIGN of any sort of Zombie Apocolypse, is go and get as much canned good as you can, as well as anything else non-disposable. Camping kits are excellent, as they normally come with a sturdy cooking set, meaning that Ramen Noodles are your friend. Cheap, easy to make, fast, and they don't go bad (if they do, it takes a long time, but I'm pretty sure they dont). Also, you see in a lot of zombie movies, people making fires to have light... It's ok for cooking, but if you just want light, electric lights are your best friend. Fires are noisy, what with all the crackling and whatnot. If you have a portable electric stovetop: Extra Good.
Give me a like because I taught all of you a couple things. :D

Hm. Well, supplies... Explain what you mean. Because as I said, fishing can keep you fed for quite a while, if you don't want to eat as kings do constantly. A fish a night per person, you're good to go.
In the summer months, it can still get pretty cold in the far north (Like I said, Northern Canada), however if you ever come across a zombie (which will be not often, as you should be keeping yourself isolated), even a slightly chilly temperature will at least slow them down, enough for you to use simple, homemade tools to poke their brains with. Also, to be able to survive in the weather you live in, you'll need lots of padding from the cold, meaning a bite has less chance to get to you, thanks to your 5 layers of coats.
If you didn't need to worry about being infected, there'd be no Zombie Apocalypse. Unless you're special, and you're IMMUNE to the virus, the "Apocalypse" will only last a couple days, maybe weeks. In fact, if no one had to worry about being infected, then it would last for 1 hour. 59 minutes of chaos and cannibalism, 1 minute to put a bullet in the thing's skull. If you could explain what you mean by "not worry about being infected", that'd be excellent. :D
Other survivors... It's a gamble, really. I wouldn't say kill on sight, because violence, even in the zombie apocalypse, isn't ever the way to solve a human disagreement. But on the other hand, you need their stuff. If they have guns, you'd need that, and if you have food, they'd need that. Humans are unpredictable and stupid, which means that it's tough to plan for them. I'd say above all else, try to make peace with them. If they have a gun pointed at your head, tell them you have things they don't. Let them know WHAT you have, not where you have it. There's a 50% chance you live and create an alliance, and a 50% chance you die. WHERE you die, is also a gamble. Do they kill you after you show them what you have, or do they kill you on the spot? Like I said, humans are unpredictable. But if you died trying to be as peaceful as possible, at least you died with your common sense intact, which is what should be most important. Freaking out and becoming a bandit never helped anyone. Sure, you get stuff, but you could also befriend them, get their stuff, their trust, AND their help. The Governor, from The Walking Dead, had pretty much the right idea. Except he was batsh*t crazy, so you know. The point is he built a city instead of killing everything he saw. He let people in to his city. If they're infected, explain the situation and let them know what needs to be done. If YOU'RE infected, don't hide it. Tell your friends and family, and then give them the option of watching you kill yourself, or letting them kill you. But either way, if you're bit, don't even ask to be saved unless there is a legitimate and actual cure.
Also, people will be putting out drugs, claiming for them to be cures. WHenever a new one pops up, go out, get a box or 2, and then DONT TAKE ANY until you know they work (usually it's on the news whether they work or not. I say news because if it's still safe enough to be manufacturing and developing 'cures' just to make money, it's safe enough to broadcast a news network). World War Z knowledge for your brain.
