Well I'd get a backpack an fill it with socks and water(food is free now). Id gear up with knives and an axe or bat. I'd go to the nearest Dick's and gear up with armor, camo, weapons, and tools. Then I'd do my best to survive.

Its a detailed plan, so please bare with me.
So I would telephone my girlfriend, she would in turn telephone her brother, who works as a Policeman, he has been briefed that we would require a riot van and some firearms. He will collect his immediate family and fight his way to the harbour.
I would get a motorbike and find my girlfriend before heading to Costco, they now stock long life food for survival. We would stock up a stolen car and head to the harbour. Important items to remember, seeds to plant vegetables, dried foods such as rice and flour.
Once at the harbour we would commander a fishing boat and set out to see for the small islands around Scotland. We need to find a small island with a small population.
We would be looking for an island with small huts and a population of less than 50, there are plenty of these. With the firearms we could take out any walkers, if the infection had spread that far. We could grow our own vegetables and use the boat to fish.
From there we would be able to gradually take islands of a larger size, gaining supplies from each island.

If the Zombie apocalypse started, it wouls presumably start in Asia, around most of the nuclear testing, & industrial pollution... So that would give me, in America time to organize a defense... I would get myself, & my family safely inside the National Guard armory down the road from my house, then i would seek my football teammates out, & arm them, until we had our own personal barricaded fort... We would have to drive several military trucks to grocery stores around town & load them up with canned good, & weapons would be provided. If we had to move, military vehicles would provide a good enough exit.

If you have a few days to prepare the most logical place of refuge would have to be the open water. Assuming zombies haven't evolved into uber-intelligent man eaters; I would head straight towards the nearest large body of H2O. Oceans would be preferable, but large lakes would work in a pinch.
You would first need to secure a boat, and make sure you can operate it. If it's a large boat you might need to find someone to captain. Stock up on food, water, weapons, and most importantly: tools. The idea here is to find an island where you can live sustainably. At first you could ration the food you brought while you slowly learn to forage and hunt. If you're smart you will also try to bring a diverse selection of seeds for farming your own fruits and vegetables. In this scenario, survival is based less on defending yourself from zombies, and more on your resourcefulness in finding food, water and shelter.
It would be unwise to bring a lot of people with you. Less people means less mouths to feed. If you have the time you should try to select your companions based off their usefulness in survival situations. Try to balance your party with a mix of brains and brawn.
There may come a time where you will have to fight. Be it swimming zombies or resource-starved humans, weapons are a must. Primitive spears, knives and throwing rocks can be produced quickly and easily but if you have the time you should try to develop more advanced weaponry. This could include bows or slings.
Fortunately, islands can be very defensible. Find or create a central vantage point with altitude. Keep a lookout here 24/7. Create simple traps, ditches, rock slides and other fail-safe defenses to give you a home advantage.
Over time, you will come to love your new island paradise. With a level head, hard work, and a lot of luck you should be able to survive for years to come. And most importantly: don't forget to procreate!

Following Spencer's lead with a few minutes warning from home, I would gather any necessary supplies that myself and whoever was with me could carry. Supplies would include non-perishable or long lasting food, multi-tool (I have a Leatherman in my car), first-aid kit, etc. My weapon would have to be something like a baseball bat at first since there aren't any firearms at my house, i'd also probably have a couple kitchen knives but more for utility than defense.
My philosophy is to keep your equipment light, and to keep moving. So once me and my group were ready we would make our way out of any urban centers, the less populated the area before the attack the better. I wouldn't want to hole up anywhere because if something goes wrong odds are you're f--ked, and also you aren't the only person who's going to do that.
When the attack happens civil society is going out the window. Maybe it's just my Cynicism but I feel everyone is going to be looking out for themselves and their friends/family, it'll basically come down to who has the bigger stick, if you're group comes across a bigger/more well armed group that wants something you have, they're going to take it. So my strategy is to go where people aren't.
For ongoing survival it would be the basics, don't move at night, always keep a lookout, don't draw attention to yourself. Keep on the move and away from developed areas unless you need to resupply, and then go for smaller places like gas stations. It would probably come down to our group moving through the Appalachian Mountains from place to place.
