As fans of "The Walking Dead," "Z Nation," "Fear of The Walking Dead," and all of the other zombie shows and movies, we can all agree that it is important to properly prepare for the zombie apocalypse. The day that the dead begin walking is drawing near, so here are some tips and tricks to survive the horrifying day that is soon upon us:
1. Have a plan
It's never too early to begin planning. Make sure that you know what you're going to do when the zombie outbreak begins. Know the first place that you're going to head to.
P.S. Go as far away from humans as possible.
2. Designate a leader
Preferably someone who has good leadership experience and is able stay grounded through all the chaos. Someone similar to Rick Grimes, but maybe not as insane. But then again, it's the apocalypse. What does it even mean to be sane? Just designate someone who would make the right decisions when it is most needed.
3. Recruit people
Start gathering people who you can team up with when the apocalypse begins. People who you can depend on to have your back when there's a zombie coming at you. Carefully choose based upon what they can bring to the table: doctors, farmers, military personnel, etc. Give everyone a role to fulfill.
4. Stock up
Stock up on non-perishable supplies: canned goods, medicine, toilet paper, gas, guns, and more gas. It doesn't hurt to be prepared, and it definitely doesn't hurt to have too much. Well, it does if space is limited...but you get the point.
5. Reliable transportation
Have a good reliable car ready and on standby, because you never know when you're going to need to absolutely floor it. Also, you don't know how far you're going, or even where you're going, so choose wisely.
6. Stash of weapons
Begin collecting weapons. Us zombie fans know that although guns are very useful, zombies are attracted to sound. So also have shovels, knives, and anything else that can be used to kill a zombie directly in the brain.
7. Learn how to survive in the wilderness
Most of the apocalypse involves being outdoors, so you must learn how to survive. Start by watching shows about the wilderness, join boy/girl scouts, or read. Discover what's edible or poisonous, and even how to know what direction you're traveling in.
The zombie apocalypse is near, so get ready and be ready.
