They are supposed to be hiding out in the woods and don't get the fact that they should be as quiet as possible instead of having petty arguments left and right. Idiots deserve to be eaten.
One thing that I hate about this show is the zombie bandwagoners that never gave zombies the time of day or looked down on the genre are suddenly claiming how awesome zombies are and how much they always loved the genre.
As a life-long zombie fan, that's plain insulting.
As for deserving to be eaten in their supposed "hide out," considering just what they are hiding out from, why in God's name are they camped out in a clearing surrounded by forest in the first place? There's no way to see the zombies until they're close enough to spit on, at which time they're under heavy attack, and THEN they go scrambling for weapons. Given the situation, every adult and adolescent in the camp should be armed at all times, and if firearms and ammunition are an issue, as they seem to be, constantly, edged weapons are just as affective one on one, and never need reloading. Go to any garden supply store or Army Navy store and get all the machetes, parangs, and bolo knives that they can lay their hands on, and save the guns for when a large group attacks.
Getting back to the hideout itself, they should be in a large warehouse or storage building, well away from the city proper, that are surrounded by high chain link fences, preferably topped with razor wire, well fortified and with all of the food, water, and useful material that they can scavenge with daily hunting parties.
It may be more dramatic the way that they are doing it on the show, but from a survival and tactical standpoint, what they are doing is nothing short of suicidal. About the only thing that they did get right is that they are near a plentiful and (hopefully) unpolluted water supply.
(And, just for the record, I am neither a zombie "band wagoner,"
nor do I "look down" on the genre. I watch the show just so that I can rant about how little these so called survivors actually know about surviving in a situation like that. Watch "Falling Skies" if you want to see how it should be done properly.)
