Surviving The Living Dead


If you have miraculously survived the first couple of days in a zombie outbreak, here are a couple tips on keeping your brain in your head and your flesh on your bones.

1. The first crucial tip for surviving is food. If you want to survive anything you will always need food. I bet the first place anyone would go to to get food is a super market. Thats the bad part, everyone would go there so unless it's the size of a foot ball stadium, I would suggest not going there, at least until everything has toned down a little bit. I would say the best place to go to is other houses, I mean they're every were and there's also a pretty good chance that they have canned goods or other necessities. Also small liquor stores wouldn't be a bad idea or gas stations.

2. One of the most important parts of surviving a zombie apocalypse is defense against them, weapons. If you're thinking huge shotguns and huge machine guns you're probably wrong, because unless you're fighting a town, you don't have to all out Rambo on them. The problem with guns is that they have a limited supply of ammo, need maintenance regularly, and just too loud. Don't get me wrong, it is crucial to have a gun, but it's a bit overkill and should only be used if you need to. A good weapon would be something silent, easy to maintain, and relatively light. Like a good melee weapon, I would say a base ball bat or a machete, maybe put some razors or barbed wire on the baseball bat for extra fun, but if thats not your style well then maybe you can pick up a bow or a crossbow, because they are silent, relatively light, and retrievable ammo. Pretty much anything that will cause some major damage to someones head, and is dependable, is a good weapon.

3. The third step, Proper attire. Now just because there aren't any people around doesn't mean that you have to straight to the mall and get the latest fashion, because no one's is going to be around to care, except zombies. What you need to wear is something thick, or layers of clothes, maybe try to find something light, that would with stand a couple of bites, because when you find yourself cornered by some walkers in an alley, layers count, because zombie teeth aren't made of Teddie bears. Your hair, you might see it as a long and luscious lion mane, but zombies, zombies see your lion mane as a handle, in which to jerk you back and make a meal out of your not so smart brain, because you should cut your hair, or crop it back.

4. If your stranded in a city and looking for a place to spend the night, don't just go anywhere, because that Walmart might be infested with fat Mcdonalds loving zombies that want to make a happy meal out of your face. Go to high ground like a sky scraper, not an apartment building, because the tenets could be, you know, zombies. Back to that sky scraper, now getting in may be a problem, but only if the place is covered with 'em, obviously, but you should probably only go if the whole apocalypse thing has died down a little bit, if it hasn't though, well then read step 5

5. If the zombie apocalypse is at it's peak and you are struggling to survive or fight off those zombies, well then find a permanent residence, far far away. If your thinking outskirts of town well there are obviously still going to be zombies around. The best place to go would be a tundra, but don't just hit the road without preparing for it, get your camping/tundra supplies and get to it. The reason a tundra is good because it's pretty cold out there, and zombies don't seem to have a lot protection, so it's their problem not yours. But if your not much of a cold person, well then go to a forest, not a camping place with trails but an isolated forest with lots of animals around, so bring your hunting tools and get to it, unless you would like be eaten of course...
