Those Who Run...

Avoidance is the key here.  The best possible solution to dealing with any zombie is avoiding it completely.  Sure, sometimes you have no choice but to engage them but it's best not to waste the resources, energy, or risk attracting more unless you have to.

Zombie Tip Of The Week: If you are alone, you are wrong!

If you are traveling the zombie world all by your lonesome, perhaps you should rethink your strategy. You've all seen the part in any zombie flick where someone goes out exploring on their own. What usually happens? More often than not they become zombie food or at least have a close encounter.  It's a little difficult to watch your back all by yourself.  Some people think the bigger the group the better, others say that a smaller group is best.  I personally think the smaller group is better.  With around 3-5 people you won't consume too many resources and it considerably easier to move around.  Both have their pros and cons and it's up to you to decide. 

Zombie Tip Of The Week: Know your enemy!

Hopefully by now you already have somewhat of a plan for what to do when the zombie apocalypse happens.  Maybe you'll go solo or maybe you'll travel with a group, maybe you'll head south or maybe you'll head north, maybe you won't go anywhere and just bug-in and hope for the best.  When coming up with your great escape plan take under consideration the type of zombie you may be faced with.  If you plan for slow and fumbly Romero zombies you might be ill-equipped for a horde of track star 28 Days Later zombies.  Plan for the worst possible zombie, you can always dumb your plan down if you have to.

Zombie Tip Of The Week: The Hard Decisions!

When the zombie apocalypse happens and the SHTF you will inevitably be face with all sorts of decisions, even more so if you are responsible for the people around you.  Sometimes it might be deciding who gets to eat today, other times it might be having to put someone down because they were bitten.  Sometimes there won't even been a good decision, just one that's not as bad as the other.  Of course there will always be people that don't agree with you but always remember, the good of the many always outweighs the good of the few.  One thing we can all learn from Rick is that there is no place for softies in the Z World.

Zombie Tip Of The Week: Stay out of the city!

According to the 2000 census, 79.2% of all people in the U.S. lived in urban areas.  Not the place to be during the zombie apocalypse.  It's a general fact that an outbreak of anything will spread quicker in more densely populated areas and a zombie outbreak is no different.  At the first sign of zombies, head for the hills.

Zombie Tip Of The Week: All the weapons can't save you if they don't work!

What supplies are you taking with you when the zombie apocalypse happens?  Normally when I ask that question I get a long list of food, water, medical supplies, camping gear, and of course at the top of that list is weapons of some kind.  I've seen bug-out-bags with 5 or 6 knives, 4 rifles, crossbows, and more handguns that you could hold if you were Shiva.  You know what I didn't see?... Not one can of oil, clp, sharpening stones, or extra bow string material.  When your weapons fail, you fail.  Something to think about.

Zombie Tip Of The Week: Have a plan B

It's just a known fact that things never go according to plan. There is even an epigram dedicated to this called "Murphy's Law".   Don't let it catch you off guard, make sure you have a back up plan.  Make sure you always have that one extra person with you, that one extra weapon, that back door to escape, and make sure everyone else knows it.
