I recently watched a fantastic movie that I had not seen for a long time: World War Z. You can argue with me if you would like about the validity of this film, but either way, it has got me thinking; I need to be prepared for the apocalypse.

I have a serious phobia of Zombies. Yes, I understand they are not necessarily the most prominent problem in the world at this moment, but you never KNOW! I would be the first person to die. I am the most dispensable, with no real assets to bring to the group. So I came up with this plan to keep us useless ones alive!

1. Befriend tough people

When worst comes to worst you want to be best friends with those who can protect themselves and you because we all know you can't protect yourself.

2. Cardio

I am taking this one from Zombieland because if there is one thing that you can do to protect yourself is outrun the slow ones in the group. Weed out the WEAK! NATURAL SELECTION!

3. Go somewhere discreet or secluded

I had a debate on whether or not it would be better to go far into the mountains or stay by water so you could swim away if the Zombies came. I am not gonna get into it, but let's just say that you can't swim forever so that is stupid.

4. Know what wild things you can and cannot eat

Your food supply won't last long because let's face it... you will stress eat all of it before the first week is over. But if you know what you can eat off bushes and vines, then you are good to go!

I Am Legend (sorry if I just spoiled the movie for you).

6. Get a weapon

Don't get a gun because the movies are so unrealistic. You would run out of bullets in a heartbeat and then be dead before your heart could beat again. Get an ax, or knife... or a boomerang!

7. Pack a bag of essentials

You never know what you won't have when you leave so pack EVERYTHING: Toilet paper, gum, glue... hand sanitizer could definitely come in handy after killing a zombie.

8. Stay hydrated

Your body can only stay alive for three days without water, so stock UP. Don't let your electrolytes get depleted.

9. Use the buddy system

You never want to be caught alone, because then the zombie only has one target and it is much easier to get one target rather than choosing between two. Also, you can always throw the other person behind you to give you a head start.

10. Survive

Just don't die, and you'll be fine!
