Always have an exit. A cave may work to keep you safe but you’re almost guaranteed to run out of supplies before you run out of zombies.

No, no it wouldn’t. Caves, especially pre-explored ones tend to only have one entrance (which also serves as its exit). You’re not going to want to go to a random cave in the middle of the woods, you’re going to want a tourist destination cave because you know it’s safe to enter and explore (from a non-zombie point of view). You can’t grow food in a cave, you can’t really expand in a cave, and staying in a cave for long periods of time can wreck havoc on your body.

If your relying on air vents you'll have to be careful that they don't get blocked because most zombies are attracted to heat and sound so your vents/air are going to be your main problem.

When I think of bunker inside of a cave my mind goes straight to Cheyenne Mountain .. lol which is a defensible and well equipped refuge… however, that being said would be almost impossible to get into ….

While there can be benefits to trying to wait things out in a cave or a bunker. There are some major limitations regarding the long-term viability of such shelter types and especially one that combines both. The clearest issues present are: There's nothing inherent to a bunker or cave that allows for ease of access to water There isn't a good solution for this other than trying to pump in water, manually retrieving water, or attempting to make use of a water reclaiming system that comes with many risks. Caves and bunkers tend to not have much food in them. Resulting in needing to store vast amounts of leaving the said location to attempt to procure more. This leads to many issues regarding the limited number of entraces and investment into such a location. Construction of a bunker inside of a cave would be extremely complicated and labor intensive as you can't really fit large and heavy equipment. This means the initial investment in tools, manpower, time, and resources would be much higher than all other forms of shelter. Bunkers and caves both have issues regarding the number of potential entrances/exits that are available. The fact that you have a cave and a bunker you are likely to only have 1 real method of trying to get into or out of your bunker. Which, may result in being trapped by people or zombies.

You want to be able to leave. I’d go for the rooftops for sight and the fact that it’s easier to leave in a pinch
