How To Survive A Zombie Apocalypse

Tips and tricks to combat the undead.

The zombies have arrived and they’re inching closer to where you are. You only have hours to prepare a plan and your first instinct might be to just run, but do you know the best places to go and what should you pick up along the way? You should have a plan going into this. Read on to find the best ways to prepare yourself for the trip.

First of all you may not know about a zombie apocalypse before you are attacked by zombies so be wary of anyone trying to bite you or acting zombie-like.

When you are notified, you will want to grab a weapon. Weapons with explosions are usually better since you don’t want to have any zombie parts left that could continue to move. If you cannot get your hands on that type of weapon, tools that cut zombies should be avoided because you don’t want zombie parts all over the ground.

Try to cover all of your body with clothing. Zombies will need a way to infect you and their best option is to try to scratch you. Wear pants and shirts with long sleeves. When it comes to covering your neck, use scarves. Winter clothes like snow pants and coats will be the hardest to scratch through so try to wear those. Motorcycle body armor is recommended as well.

What foods to pack canned/ preserved food is useful since it doesn’t spoil and you may not be able to get fresh food such as canned beans, honey also doesn’t go bad and water restaurants will likely have lots of salt.

An abandoned office building with multiple floors is amazing considering people can easily enter while zombies will be unable to use elevators. Another bonus is lots of hiding spaces (cubicles) and possibly food in the form of vending machines. Make sure to block staircases so zombies don’t have access to the higher floors.

Eventually, there will be no more human zombies due to not enough humans becoming infected. This is because we’ll learn how to avoid infection. Animal zombies, on the other hand, will likely remain for some time since it will take longer for them to learn how to stay safe. Until that happens, they will reproduce fast enough for zombies to infect new animals.

The zombie apocalypse will likely happen and it would be the result of someone unleashing a virus. Following these tips could increase your likelihood of surviving. Or not.
