Top 10 Best Ways to Prepare for a Zombie Invasion
If a zombie invasion were to break out, would you be ready? Sure, we're used to seeing the zombie apocalypse play out on the big screen, but what if it happened in real life? While it might sound far-fetched, prepping for a zombie invasion can actually be a smart way to prepare for other emergencies, too.This list covers everything from basics like storing food and water to more advanced strategies for long-term survival. Are you thinking about defense tactics, sustainable food supplies, or ways to generate power off the grid?
Zombies don't tire. The better and longer you can run, the more likely you are to survive. You'll also be more healthy and able to sustain the hardships that are sure to come.
Oh yes, this is important. Keep running. Think about a song, preferably your favorite. I recommend Don't Stop Me Now by Queen, to keep you going.
Best case scenario, get a rifle, a shotgun, and a handgun.
Pallets of bottled water are good, but big, gallon drums are even better. Both are a good idea. Start strong on this one. You never know when you're going to need a water supply.
Each time you go to the grocery store, get a few extra cans of food or a container of dried food every now and then. MREs are good, especially for traveling, but for storage, they have a short shelf life and too much fiber. However, dehydrated food and dried food are great.
If you want to start a little stronger, less gradually, hit up Costco for cases of food or visit www.beprepared.com.
Again, this is something you can do slowly over time, but it's best to have at least 300 rounds for each weapon.
Have a generator handy in case the electricity goes out. It's best to just use it for heating and the cooking of food, unless you have a way to black out all light so as to not draw the undead to your location.
All the ammunition in the world won't help you if you can't properly operate your weapon or fire it with accuracy.
Know where to go in case your position is compromised. Have an alternate source of food and water. Plan ahead.
A good fence can go a long way in keeping the zombies away from your dwelling. If you have the space to store plywood and other such building materials, do so.
Keep a pack ready to go, in case a speedy retreat is needed. You won't be out on a limb.
The Newcomers
In emergency situations, in the case of running out of ammunition, a melee weapon such as a bat, club, or better, a long machete is a useful tool for knocking down zombies. Pack a long melee weapon to ensure zombies won't be able to injure you in the process of knocking them down.
In intense situations, medicine supplies and first aid kits can come in handy.
I know this sounds crazy, but we all are talking about zombies, right? So, buy a helicopter so you can escape if you're in a tight situation.
If you're alone, you'll get killed. The more people, the better.
If you keep all the weapons in a closet, that's good, but what if the zombies are by the closet? Hang them on the walls, keep knives in your pocket, put some under the bed, stuff like that.
Don't just have ten pistols. To me, have one shotgun, five rifles, two pistols, a bunch of knives, and have a minigun. Yeah baby!
