Zombie Apocalypse Basics

• A quick rundown, In case of emergency

First Things First

• Zombies are the living dead, returned to life
  through a Virus, that is spread through fluid
  transfer.
• ANY injury results in full infection, death and
  reanimation are imminent.
• SURVIVAL Is your Number One priority.

KNOW YOUR ENEMY

• Are your Zombies fast? Slow? Smart? Feral?
• To kill a zombie you must destroy the brain.
• How many are in your area? Are you in a city?
  Small town?

WEAPONRY

• Weapon number one is your body, make sure it is
  in tip top shape.
• Weaponry needs to be able to incapacitate
  Ideally kill a zombie in one quick assault.
• There are pros and cons to each weapon, make sure
  you take each of these into account when building
  your arsenal.
• Your wardrobe is your armor. No loose clothing
  or long hair, Keep it close.

Your Arsenal

• Determine your attack plan Survive, escape,
  rescue, etc. Your Weaponry needs to be as
  aggressive as your plan.
• Melee (Close Combat) Weapons need to be easily
  handled while still dealing maximum damage.
• Ranged Weapons should be firearms, they deal the
  most damage, and should be well maintained.
• FIRE is king, it is the only sure fire way to
  destroy a zombie entirely.

General Survival

• Noise will alert zombies to your location. Being
  quiet will keep you alive.
• Always have an escape plan. Wherever you are
  know how to get out.
• Hospitals are an awful place to get caught. The
  sick will go here first, avoid at all costs.

Survival strategies

• You last as long as your supplies, so stock up on
  nonperishables fast.
• Size of outbreak determines best locations for
  survival, The larger the outbreak the more help
  you will need for survival.
• Basic home security items will aid in survival.
• Alarms, must be set up. They will be your
  advance warning for an inevitable siege.
• This is the easiest way to survive if you are
  alone, the other strategies are better for groups.

8
Escape Strategies

• Take only the most important items, you cant
  take everything for every situation.
• Mobility is your best weapon in an escape
  strategy. Stealth and awareness are next on the
  list.
• Know where you are going, make sure you know how
  to get there.
• Urban areas are deadly, stay quiet and stay
  hidden.
• Cars, of all sorts, are inefficient and not
  mobile enough for escape. If long distance
  travel is necessary, motorcycles or horses are
  the best.

9
Attack Strategies

• This strategy is NOT recommended. You need
  several groups (5-10), of at least 10 people, for
  this to be viable.
• Intelligence is your greatest weapon. Do not
  fight large groups, do not go out alone.
• Be prepared for secondary waves after clearing
  your primary target. Zombies will likely be
  attracted to all of your noise.
