How would you survive a zombie apocalypse?

In order to survive a zombie apocalypse, one has to understand what they are after - brains, right? For myself, I would find a location that was well fortified, stocked with food and other necessities, and plant myself in the middle of nowhere. Ensuring that one is well stocked with weapons for a just in case would be a good idea as well. Ideally, it would be a place that there are not a lot of people, and one would have a better chance of survival.

Although the movie, “The Night Of The Living Dead” takes place in a rural setting, one would have to be somewhere to become infected, and then travel a long distance to get to a more rural location. There are several locations within the United States and around the world that have dense populations and would allow one a greater chance of survival. The most optimal situation would be an island somewhere with renewable resources that one could escape to, in order to escape the apocalypse that was happening elsewhere.

A zombie apocalypse is a particular scenario within apocalyptic fiction. In a zombie apocalypse, a widespread rise of zombies hostile to human life engages in a general assault on civilization. In some stories, victims of zombies may become zombies themselves if they are bitten by zombies or if a zombie-creating virus travels by air, sexually, or by water; in others, everyone who dies, whatever the cause, becomes one of the undead.

In some cases, parasitic organisms can cause zombification by killing their hosts and reanimating their corpses, though some argue that this is not a true zombie. In the latter scenario zombies also prey on the living and their bite causes an infection that kills.

Okay!

Let’s go. The most important thing is not having a high kill count but surviving. The government will take a few months to figure out what to do with people so relying on them is the last thing I would do.

I would first max out my card and buy water and food. By food, I do not mean gourmet meals but cheap cost-effective food items(quantity over quality). Water and food will immediately become a precious resource so secure as much as you can. Next, I would secure plywood to board up windows and doors because they can probably break a lot of windows. The third item I would secure is a first aid kit. The fourth is simple utility items like batteries, torches, matches, knives, and hammers. The fifth is stitching a zombie-proof suit. It's easy and all you really need is a leather jacket, pants, gloves and a little bit of artistry with shoulder pads.

Once I’m done with bare necessities, the next focus is on protecting myself. The greatest threat wouldn’t be zombies but other humans. Humans in groups could be especially dangerous and scarce resources would mean conflicts between humans to the proportion of killing each other. So I need a fake gun to intimidate them. A real gun would be necessary if the zombies are fast but I’m assuming that they are slow-moving smelly bodies. If they are slow, a baseball bat bedazzled with nails would serve my purpose. If I feel especially likely for gory views I would get a chainsaw.

The only true advantage the zombies will have over humans is their numerical superiority. I would try to avoid places where their concentration can be overburdening. I would also never attack a zombie if other zombies are nearby. I’ll try to band up with known people who still aren’t zombies and share resources. I’m sure the government will figure out a way to band people together within a month and once we have a safe haven to go to: the next challenge begins. Banding up will be really helpful if the safe haven is far. If I’m all alone I would sneak out of the house and gather fuel and a working vehicle. A vehicle with a strong engine and high mileage would be my preference. A pickup truck would be great because I can store a lot of fuel. There, friends, I have survived a zombie apocalypse!

There are several things you need if you are going to survive a zombie apocalypse. Some of these things include water, food, medication, a first aid kit, hygienic tools (such as soap, towels, shampoo, and toilet paper), utility supplies (including batteries, knife, can opener, torches, and matches). Some other items of interest include phone, keys, enough gas in the car, and possibly a tent. Last, but not least, the most significant item which will ensure survival is a weapon.

Rifles or shotguns tend to be the weapons of choice. However, knives, axes, machetes, shovels, and baseball bats are also useful. You should also ensure that you have identified a safe meeting area and the easiest route to get there. Make sure to locate the closest hospital, gas station, grocery stores, and banks. It is also imperative that you know every exit out of your town and the fastest way there. Also, keep calm and have a map handy.

Will you be ready if a zombie apocalypse occurs? Aside from trying to make sure that the zombie will not eat your brains, you have to make sure that you will keep your sanity intact. First of all, make sure that you will check the room for zombies before you hang out. If in case you see zombies, do not turn your back on them because they may suddenly move. Make sure that you will stock up on food.

There are some people that you will meet along the way. You may have the ability to trade with them for other items you may need. It will help if you could work together with them. It will make a lot of difference for sure. You may need to create your own weapons too in order to protect yourself from zombies.

A zombie apocalypse experience can be very frightening and deadly. A person who wants to survive a zombie apocalypse will need to first prepare for the uncertainty. Everybody should do this every day. Preparing for any situation that comes our ways will help us to make the right decision. First of all, try as much as possible to get the necessary information about what is happening.

Watch TV, call your family to know exactly what is going on. At times, just a part of the country may be involved, and even if your area is involved, you will have the necessary information that may be helpful from TV programs and calls you have made. Also, don't always go with the first option that comes to your mind. Try and calm yourself so as to generate more options that may be helpful. The first thing shouldn't be about getting a gun, stay calm, and watch the situation, don't just follow people, majority of them might be running into their death. Finally, find the protection and get yourself a weapon.

How are you going to survive a zombie apocalypse when you do not even know what you are dealing with? The first thing that you have to do is to make sure that you will avoid zombies at all costs — the more that you avoid them, the lesser the chances that you will get infected by them. You should also make an effort to terminate the zombies that are within your area.

The fewer the zombies are, the easier it would be for you to move around and reclaim the area as your own. It will also be easier if you have other trusted people with you who will be working towards the same goal, which is to survive the zombie apocalypse. You should also find proper ways on how you can dispose of the bodies of the zombies that you have killed and the people who have been killed by zombies so that they will not turn into zombies too.
