I believe that Human Aggression is natural. That and reasonably normal humans want to survive and live.

Very true. The drive to survive is the best weapon.

well obviously you want to take the high ground and as any kind of slope will slow a zombie down make it easier for you to knock them off balance and deliver a killing blow. also rember zombies will not react to drops of holes. while a living human may avoid or jump over them a zombie will shamble right in or say over a cliff. also while rain may impact your senses as well a zombie trying to shamble on a wet or muddy surface will have a harder time staying up right. knock them over then split their heads open at your leisure. also a wet forearm will be allot hard to grab onto then a dry one. snow is actually a good thing to use agaisnt zombies as one an icy or snow covered surface will slow the progress of your attacker even more then their undead nature. also tracks on fresh snow will make identifying the path of a zombie very easy. and of course we can not forget about colder temperatures reducing the movement of a zombie limb. and if bellow freezing stooping an attacking ghoul in its tracks, essentially freezing them. for a more detailed explanation on these and many more topics please consult "The Zombie combat Manual", your complete guide to fighting the living dead.

I think acouple of things in nature will definitely help your chances of surviving a zpoc.

 

The first one is definitely cold weather. I saw someone else post this already, but its definitely going to stop their movement in winter. If their infected minds are too distracted with the thought of killing and eating, I doubt they'll seek shelter from the cold and will likely freeze to death. Being frozen solid will kill any virus Im sure.

 

Higher elevations give the advangtage of higher ground. This isn't just key for being able to defend yourself, but also allows you to see what types of threats are coming your way.  If you can avoid contact, do so before engaging.

 

Rivers, and fast flowing creeks will make natural barriers for clumps zombies.

 

Wind, rain, snow, hell everything that threatens to kill your average man, will be a threat to kill zombies. Floods are good one too.

Wow, I actually agree with you on this. My only concern is fresh water. You can desalinate water, but its hard to keep filters, and pumps that will allow this because of the corrosive nature of salt. You can get water from plants if you have them on board, but they also need water that they can not obtain from salt water in order to survive.

There is one good option for obtaining fresh drinking water on ocean. If you can make yourself a good copper still, you can distill your own water. Simple boil it off leaving the salt behind in the still,  while condensation will leave fresh water deposits in your drain tube. It should be fresh enough to drink, and not shut your kidneys down. As long as you can fuel a fire you have all the fresh water you need right around your boat.
