How to survive the Zombie Apocalypse - PART 1

Surviving the initial outbreak is key! There are many movies and how to guides out there about how to survive a zombie attack, but they always glide over the initial (and perhaps most critical) part of surviving when the zombies come: surviving the initial outbreak.

The first part of surviving an outbreak is having your pre-outbreak preparations. You hear a scream and there's your next door neighbor munching on granny's brains - quick, what do you do? Everyone says they'd be prepared, but really, are you? There's no guarantee that the infestation will start on one coast and work to another. You may have a couple days of warning, or you may wake up and have to immediately fight for your life.

There are several things to consider for your pre-outbreak preparation. For one, do you have a basic survival kit and zombie killing weapons close by? A kit should include a fire arm you're familiar with, extra ammunition, and a non fire arm weapon. A machete is the best choice (military second hand, NOT cheap wal-mart), though a hatchet or butcher knife is also good, and easy to carry without slowing you down. You want a basic first aid kit, some jerky, matches, maps, etc. Everything you have should fit in a tight fitting knap sack that isn't too heavy. You may have to rough it.

Stay tuned for PART 2
