We have all decided that the outbreak is coming. Eventually the dead will rise up and walk among us craving the flesh of humans, never dying, never stopping, never slowing, just on and on, moaning as they continue to stalk you across hundreds and thousands of miles.
And are you prepared?
My friends and I actually spend more time discussing what we need to prepare and since this week at work so many people have been sick, we have realized that although we have a good action plan in our minds…we really are not as prepared as we would like to be. What do we need to survive the zombie apocalypse? Sure there are the RULES, but rules are not enough on their own…it is easy to say, Supplies…but what supplies? What about a plan!
My girlfriend and I have spent the last few days talking about what we need. She is lucky because, “My family is full of gun toting freaks, and I’ve got Sam J,” and she is right…she is lucky. I don’t have a gun toting family, although I must admit, my mum is one very good shot and does know how to handle her way around a gun!
When the outbreak happens…where are you going to go?
Again, my friend is lucky because her family has property in the middle of nowhere! PERFECT for hiding out and surviving the outbreak.
Me on the other hand…well I live in South Florida …so we will say, I am preparing for HURRICANE’S. Which includes:
Storm windows
Metal panels that can be pulled over and bolted over every window and door
Reinforced Walls
Extra roof shingles in the attic
What do you need?
Sure it is easy to say I have a house built to withstand weeks and months…maybe even years of zombie bombardment. But if you don’t have the supplies you need or the ability to get the supplies you need. You’re pretty much screwed.
Again, my friend is lucky; her property has cattle, farmland, and an orchard.
Me on the other hand…living in a city I must think outside the box and again, hurricane preparation is the perfect cover:
Solar panels on the roof – providing me with electricity for cooking, etc
Generator with back up fuel
A huge store room full of bottled water, water cleaning systems, toilet paper (because lets admit that is a must have), canned goods
A small ledge garden built onto the roof
What about protection?
Great, now you have a location, and it is stocked to the bursting point…but those zombies don’t just stop trying to get in because you haven’t poked your head out in a few hours. NO once the zombies know you are there they keep coming, moaning and coming, pulling more and more to your location as other sources of food die out.
What about cash?
Lets face it…money is going to worthless, so robbing a bank or your neighbors is pretty stupid, but that does not mean that everything is going to lose its value.
As my friend pointed out, penicillin will definitely be worth something.
Me, yeah, I agree with the penicillin, but I am thinking Mr. Walker or the Goose is going to be the next Benjamin!
So before you lock yourself away in your safe room/house, make sure you stop by the local hospital (go in hot and ready because that place will be loaded with walkers! Sick people always like to gather in hospitals) and load up on the meds! With the liquor, don’t be foolish and wait until the day of the apocalypse, those crazy hoodlums will have already cleaned them out…Liquor is something you should have already been stashing...I know that I will be!
My best friend made a wonderful suggestion and although it sounds a little mean and inhuman…or whatever you would like to call it, it is logical, and to survive you do not need to think with your heart, but with your head. She said….”First thing I would convince them all to do is KILL all the neighbors. Shoot them all. Kill the humans, that’s just one less potential f*ing zombie. Then we can eat their food.” Beautiful idea, and she is totally right, because as your neighbors fall to the zombies, they do not just die, they turn and they come after you!
Some survival plans that would not work:
Plan to run around naked.
So live long and survive!
