How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse Painful deaths are one thing, but being eaten alive by loved ones has to be the top painful way to die. Chances of a pandemic of flesh eating people might be slim to none, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be prepared for the super natural apocalypse that is, the zombie takeover. It might seem impossible, but if movies and video games can teach you anything, it’s there are at least three easy things to prepare for the disaster; finding food and shelter to hold you over, gathering weapons to defend against the flesh eaters, and no strong bonds with other people to hold you back. It’s not everything, but enough to make sure you don’t get gnawed on in your sleep. Finding food and shelter is a necessity, because as humans we need sleep and food to keep us going. Unless you have a car or truck, you can’t go around with a grocery store on your back, keeping just what is needed is important while you’re on the move. There can be occasions where you take a cupcake or a ding dong for morality, but when on the move, water and light food are perfect for keeping stamina up while running and fighting off the undead. Shelters won’t always be permanent, so don’t get attached or cozy anywhere you stay, it only takes one mistake to have a place turn into feeding ground instantly. Never trust the news when they say there is a shelter with military protection, they will always be overrun sooner or later letting someone infected inside, stick to places that can be easily boarded up, and has a secret escape just in case. Weapons to fight off the ankle biters are a necessity, if you don’t want to be infected or munched to death. While some would choose guns to kill the infected, they are noisy and will draw more of them towards you, and you can’t have unlimited ammo, it will be your downfall. Blunt and sharp weapons can be very effective to damage the brain of the zombies, and

    When stocking and collecting food and water, the safest place to be in the zombie invasion will be Lame Deer, survivors stay in Lame Deer more than anywhere else. The next important thing to do is finding a bus, u haul truck, or trucks, bigger vehicles will make it easier to pack on supplies and resources.

    Jurgen Warmbrunn Report

    Humans can try to prepare and prevent zombies from attacking, biting, and killing them, but it’s survivors personal fear that will ultimately put their life in the greatest danger. Fear can be controlled (just like zombies) if you recognize the signs and symptoms, you just have to educate yourself. Jurgen Warmbrunn, with help from Paul Knight, wrote a report that included critical information that says to kill a zombie, you must aim for the brain and not the heart (Brooks, 35). Jurgen and Paul noted the signs and recognized the symptoms and all that was left was for people to read the reports. If more people would have read the report, it could have saved millions of lives. Jurgen even said “if more people had read our report and worked to makes it recommendations a reality, then that plan would have never needed to exist”(Brooks, 36).…

    Being able to arrange the type of weapon is based on the need. A rifle is a weapon primarily used for hunting food and can also be used as a defense weapon, when dealing with zombie people at a distance. Therefore, the use of a rifle would be the ideal weapon used for that particular situation. If there is no advance warning to an unknown visitor, then a shotgun would be the weapon to use. A shotgun is used for short distance. For example, it is used for bird hunting or the shooting of smaller animals. It could also be used with a zombie attach that is within close range. The ammunition for both the shotgun and rifle is lightweight, compact and could be easily carried in pockets or an ammo carry case. A bow and arrow is another essential weapon. It is equipped to be used for hunting or in self defense. There are many benefits when using a bow and arrow; arrows are reusable, quiet, lightweight and most importantly replacement arrows can be made out of timbers. The shotgun would be a drawback because of how close to a predator one would need to be, and a risk many wouldn’t want to face against a zombie. Also the finite amount of ammunition for the shotgun and rifle could lead to a misfortunate event, possibly…

    The Walking Dead is filled with gore, horror, death, and disgusting examples of the destruction brought onto the world by the disease. From the very first scene of Days Gone Bye the audience is shown how horrific the show will be; Rick Grimes shoots a little girl, holding a teddy bear, in the forehead because she had turned into a zombie and was trying to devour him and eat his flesh. It also shares a scene before the apocalypse showing that Rick was a good man and not a heartless killer in order for the audience to connect with him on a personal…

    "The Walking Dead" has become a cultural phenomena with hordes of fans and a huge online following, but more can be gleaned from this literal horror show than pure entertainment. The show gives the audience a possible scenario for what life would become in a situation in which survival is the number one goal. There are no more 9 to 5 jobs, mortgages are no longer a concern, and passing that math exam in second period is never going to happen, so that leaves finding food, shelter, and simply living to see another day.…

    In the case of a zombie apocalypse, I would pack canned food, a flashlight, a water bottle, a knife, and a sleeping bag. To evade the zombies, I would hide in the gym and barricade the doors. This way, there is only one entrance and I can see the zombies when they attempt to enter. I would use the things I packed to survive in the school for about three days. When supplies run out, I will scout around school and loot the vending machines, cafeteria, and classrooms for food, drink, and batteries. Over time, I would increase my base's size and check for survivors. This way I have a team that can split up and cover more ground for when we scout. Once I have established a secure hideout, I might take my chances and explore the rest of town to see…
