If you're a fan of The Walking Dead, then you know a thing or two about being prepared for the end of the world, and by the end of the world, I mean zombies. Those undead walking corpses who devour anything breathing are pretty scary, right?
Well, here are a few things I learned from the show to prepare me for an all out live or die situation.
1. Trust no one.
You can't even trust your friends. (Eugene straight lied to his friends. We all still think he's adorable, though.) When you're in the middle of an apocalypse, you have to trust your gut and do what a survivor would do.
If you share a safe spot with someone you don't know, they could easily take you out and take off with all your belongings. That would be pretty bad. But if you watch the show, you know that very well.
2. Stock up on weapons.
If you want to survive, then you need something to defend yourself. Guns, knives, or anything that's sharp and could be used as a weapon. Trust me... You will have to defend yourself.
Whether its thieves, enemies, zombies, or just hunting game, if you don't have anything, you better pray you don't die or just run like hell.
3. Get a leader, and find a safe haven.
You will need a place you can call "safe". You also need a leader you can listen to and follow. You can't get through the apocalypse without people and a safe zone. Get yourself a Rick.
4. Learn how to fight.
You can't survive a zombie apocalypse without learning how to defend yourself. You need to know how to shoot a gun, use a knife, defend yourself with a sword and anything else you could use as a weapon. Know where to strike them (in the head), and if you're defending yourself against humans, then just know they know how to fight back.
5. Ration out your food.
You can't live without food or water, right? So, stock up on water bottles and search for all the food you can find. Learn to plant veggies and fruits. Grow your own stuff. Learn to save as much as you can. You'll thank me later.
6. Be prepared for death.
If seeing Daryl cry doesn't pull on your heart strings then what does? I think everyone cried over Daryl losing his brother. Just look at his face. (*tear*)
Death and loss are huge parts of this show. You're going to lose more than you know in a zombie apocalypse. So count your blessings, and get your heart ready. You never know when it may be your last day.
