Your home contains normal home stuff. Fearing for your safety, you round up all the weapons you can. You have: 1 baseball bat, a variety of kitchen knives and utensils, a car with half a tank of gas, and standard access in and out of your home. A scratching noise at the window alerts you and you view 2 undead lazily bumping their heads into the glass. You've seen zombie movies before, and you know it's only a matter of time before they either get in or attract other zombies. You need to act. You need to flee to a less populated area. Using the tools you have, what do you do? And if you escape, what do you take with you?

I would take advantage of the time I have and act immediately. Since these two zombies have been lazily bumping their heads into my window, I assume they're rather slow moving - so outrunning them in the car won't be too hard. I only take the kitchen knives and utensils to use as weapons/survival tools and immediately go around back and drive away in my half-empty car, taking a route into the forest as far as I can go before I run out of gas.
I'd roll my car into the middle of the forest somewhere and use it as my shelter at night. I do my best to survive off the land, eating plants and drinking from creeks and streams, employing the kitchen utensils as survival tools.
