How To Survive a Zombie Apocalypse

How To Survive a Zombie Apocalypse

              Civilization as you know it has ended. Only few uninfected people are left. Most likely all your friends are zombies, your family is a zombie, and your dog is a zombie. You, on the other hand, have not been infected. Here are a few simple tricks to survive a zombie apocalypse.

Step 1: Stay in a confined area.

 It is important that you have a place that you know like the back of your hand. You need to know all of its exits, tunnels, rooms, and so on. That way if there happens to be a break in, you know the nearest exit. There should also a numerous amount of exits and escape routes throughout your confined area. As long as you have a way to escape, then you are somewhat safe.

Step 2: Have a maximum amount of weapons and ammo. 

 The preferred weapon for a zombie apocalypse is a firearm. If that happens to be your weapon of choice, you can never have too much ammo. You should have a gun on you at all times with at least 2 more magazine refills. You should also have weapons scatter throughout the area which you will be staying in. The weapons can be melee or lethal. The best melee weapons should be something that is lightweight, but won't break when you hit the zombie. Knives are not a good choice because you can get the zombie's blood on you and then you will be infected.

Step 3: Stock up and keep food, water, and supplies in bag. 

 The best kind of food to keep on you is rations or MRE's. MRE means Meal Ready to Eat. You should keep them in a bag, or backpack, that you will have on at all times. This backpack should be a Camelbak. Camelbak is a company that makes backpacks with water bladders for storing water. You should keep your ammo and rations in that bag so that you have everything with you. You could leave the compound anytime you want to.

Step 4: Be medically and chemically prepared.

 Being medically and chemically prepared is key to survival. First aid kits can be found at almost any store. You would want to get a first aid kit with: bandages, alcohol wipes, medical tape, scissors, needles, antibacterial cream, and head bandages. Being chemically prepared is also key. For example, say you have no more water, but you know where there is a river. You have a portable filtration system. You pump the water through the filters and now you've got clean water.

Step 5: Know how to use your weapons. 

 What good does a gun do if you have know idea how to use it. Melee weapons are self explanatory, all you have to do is raise the bat and swing. You should go to a shooting range once and a while so that you can get experience in the field of firearms. You should have at least 3 firearms: an assault rifle, a shotgun, and a sniper. The greatest ammo you could have are called hollow points. A hollow point is an explosive bullet that explodes on contact. Now you're ready for a zombie apocalypse.
