Zombie Survival-Tip of the Week!

Every Friday we will provide you with a handy survival tip, should the unthinkable happen....
Take note and stay tuned!

#19 You can't take it with you
In situations such as natural disasters, law and order can go astray, paving the way for rioting and looting and a zombie outbreak scenario is no exception. Under such perilous circumstances, obsession with material goods (be them your own or otherwise) can lead to your own undoing. Although tempting, it is not worth risking your life for the sake of expensive but essentially useless items. Likewise, if you decide to keep on the move, it would be wise not to burden yourself with such items - all the television sets and FabergĂ© eggs in the world are of no use to you if you’re (un)dead. Think practical and only take what you need.

#18 Have an escape plan - Know your exits
Should you decide to lay low when the undead strike you must ensure that your shelter is well fortified. It is also important to remember that no matter how secure your refuge may seem, enough zombies may be able to overcome certain barriers - in high numbers, their combined strength can be immense. Therefore to avoid a sticky end, it is wise to have an escape strategy in place e.g. a back entrance, readily available transport etc. You would not want to arrive at a dead end if your refuge is suddenly overcome by the infected so don’t let it happen.

#17 Don’t split up!
If there’s one thing we’ve learned from countless horror movies in the past, it’s not to split up in a perilous situation and this case is no exception. Although it can be useful and time-saving under certain circumstances e.g. scavenging for supplies etc, it can also leave you more vulnerable to attacks as you are at more risk of being caught off guard alone. You need someone watching your back whenever possible so, if you are among a group of fellow survivors, avoid venturing anywhere without at least one other member of the group.

#16 Keep radio contact
In this situation, it's important to have communication with the outside world. This may keep you informed of quarantine control status and the location of rescue stations in your surrounding area for example.
