How to survive the Zombie Apocalypse - PART 3

Location can be everything. If you're in a small Iowa town where everyone is heavily armed, it's even possible that the earliest stages of the zombie attack is repelled outright. If you're in a city, move. Seriously, if you're in NYC or Los Angeles, do you think there is any chance of you living? Really? Stay out of the cities. Don't even take the interstates on the outside of them if you're heading for safety.
If you have a quality vehicle, like a hummer (military, not yuppie douchebag wannabe civilian version) that's ideal, but a van is good if it's a conversion van, to maximize space, but make sure to weld cages over the windows and secure the vehicle in case it's unavoidable to break through a group of zombies.
During the initial outbreak, if it's low level and you have the van and your friends, be sure to fill the gas tanks, and use extra. It's much better to fill the van out via funnel on a back gravel road than to find a town overrun by zombies. Constant gun fire around a gas pump with the approaching undead is never a good idea.
Above all else, the Boy Scout motto sums up surviving the initial outbreak: Be prepared. If you are prepared, you are more likely to "get lucky" and survive. Let's not beat around the bushes: you have to be at least a little lucky, but if you can survive the initial outbreak, your chances of finding a place to survive go up exponentially.
