How to survive the Zombie Apocalypse - PART 2

Have a plan. Know where you are going to go. Forget the myths about zombies walking under water. They don't have the coordination to swim, and the gases in dead bodies would force their bodies to float. An island is the best place, but don't just think oceans. There are tons of great isolated lakes in places like Alaska, or Ontario, Canada. Find one, preferably with a lodge that requires boat or float plane to get in, and even more preferable, on an island. Thirty miles away from the nearest road is great, being thirty miles from the nearest road and on an island is optimal. Having a lodge or old fishing camp allows basic cover in the harsh winters. Have friends, only the closest ones you trust, know where this place is, and how to get there avoiding major cities.
Which brings to the next point: a small well armed group has a better chance than you going solo. Choose your closest like minded friends, the ones who have a chance. We all like big fat party animal Steve, but at 350 and with only bright Hawaiian t-shirts it's just not a good idea to include him. All of you should have a plan of where to meet and where to go if an outbreak takes place-both with advanced warning, but also where the survivors can rendezvous briefly during a sudden outbreak to get out of immediate danger, and then proceed together.
With all plans in place, always pay attention to any weird news. Don't be like too much of America: so obsessed with MTV and American Idol that you miss all your signs. The initial outbreak will give you a short time to act before it grows exponentially. Acting early is crucial.

stay tuned for part 3
