Zombie-Code: Survival and Combat Tactics
Monday, February 9th, 2009Now that we’ve thoroughly outlined what a zombie is and is not, I think it’s important that you be properly educated on how to defend yourself should a zombie outbreak occur. There are a few schools of thought when it comes to self defense and no one school is perfect. However, with the right amount of know how you can pick and choose ideas from each scenario and create a comfortable zombie-filled living situation for you and your band of survivors (if there are any other than you and I).
Let’s start from the beginning; if and when a zombie outbreak occurs you need to be properly prepared. This is why I suggest you purchase a few things in advance…just in case. My list of pre-purchases is small because I assume once the outbreak is in full swing the need to purchase anything will have plummeted. The list is as follows:
- A weapon of some sort (should probably be a firearm, but a blade or large blunt object would be acceptable)
- Ammunition (if you did indeed buy a firearm)
- A first aid kit
- Non-perishable food items. (Canned goods are good but if you can get MREs [meals-ready-to-eat] I suggest you get those. Military grade food that lasts a LONG time.)
- Fuel for your vehicle of choice.
Once you’ve made those pre-purchases you should have enough supplies to relocate to a stronger location and make a stand for a while. Alas, unless you live in an abandon military bunker or a castle I suggest you relocate to a larger, more well-supplied location. A prime example would be a shopping mall, a grocery store, convenience store, or somewhere that carries food items. Now depending on the severity of the outbreak you may need to act as a parasite on the land, moving from location to location consuming the available foods.
Without the proper hideout your plans of survival in a zombie-ridden world will be useless.
