Tips on surviving the Halloween Legends. Today Zombies!

This month I will feature survival tips for Zombie, Werewolf, Vampire, and Frankenstein attacks. Because you just never know.

Today will be everyone’s favorite the zombie. Zombies out of the list are the most plausible because of the miracle of modern science. So many new viruses, current ones, ones that mutated, or old ones that are coming back. They are out there waiting for you.

Now, if there was a zombie outbreak what would you need? Well, this is what I would use and I’m just a little crazy. Let’s start with armor. The average guy does not have body armor. I would use a heavy leather jacket with a hoodie. Don’t for get to spike that collar for neck protection. Make sure you are able to move in combat. The worst thing is mobility restriction when fighting off a zombie horde. For head gear a simple heavy weight winter cap will do. God help us if its summer out. For your legs jeans will work. Remember zombie bite and scratch. You just need something to cover yourself.

For weapons you really don’t need anything fancy. Bigger is not better. You have to aim for the head so a big caliber gun will jump or muzzle climb. They are already dead so stopping power is not needed. A shot gun to cover a wide spread will do. Also any .22 caliber works just fine. A .22 is a common bullet and can be found anywhere. So are shot gun shells. A baseball bat will do for hand to hand combat. I would use a metal one. I’m more of a katana man myself. Remember you can always run out of bullets, but as long as you can stand a baseball bat or sword will do.

If you are on the move, silence is golden. Moving on foot is scary but the less noise you make the better. What if you need to cover a lot of ground. Pick a heavy car or bus. An S.U.V can be tipped over by a horde. You want something with speed and stable. A bus will work. It will plow through the undead and have enough speed to get you the heck out of there.

Last, where am I running to? Answer, the mountains. Zombies cannot climb and are extra slow in the cold. If it snows they are undead ice pops. The higher you go the better. You can see them coming for miles and well they just can’t get you.
