Atlanta Zombie Apocalypse

The Atlanta Zombie Apocalypse is an immersive Halloween attraction like nothing seen or experienced before. This isn’t a leisurely stroll through a haunted house. This will feel like you are in a Hollywood movie, running in and out of buildings, up and down stairs and covering a lot of ground as you flee from the undead who all want to eat your brains.

For those of you who like to be prepared for anything, you can now do so in style. Paracord bracelets have become somewhat of a fashion item due to the military and survivalist movements. More than a mere fashion accessory, the bracelets can contain up to 20 or more feet of paracord. Belts, watch bands, hat bands, and rifle slings can also be made from paracord as well.

Your Daily Dose of Awareness

ZombieDeskCalendar

We can talk about scenarios, weapons, vehicles, and plan like there is no tomorrow.  But to be honest, there are times during the day when we get sidetracked.  We lose sight.  Planning takes a back seat to our regular routine.  Thankfully there is an answer. We were very fortunate to get our hands on the Zombie Survival Guide 2011 Day-to-Day Calendar from the kind, and survival-minded, folks over at Andrews McMeel .  What better way to keep zombie awareness fresh in your mind than a daily reminder?

For those that might not be aware (those like me) Discovery is airing season two of a very interesting and pertinent series titled “The Colony”.  According to Discovery, the premise behind this series is as follows:

“THE COLONY is an experiment that simulates a post-apocalyptic world in which volunteers are tasked with surviving and rebuilding everything from scratch, using only raw ingenuity and supplies they scavenge from their environment.

ZombieTargets

If anything else, this site is about being aware and ready for the undead.  Much like the military, law enforcement, etc., you learn to train like you fight, and fight like you train.  Meaning, if you can practice shooting at zeds, why not practice with some realistic targets? Continue Reading »

“Modern Warfare” (Or Insert Whatever Videogame Shooter You Please) Taught Me Everything That I Need to Know!

Kids Playing Video Games

Since I have begun working for ZombiesAreComing.com I have had the opportunity to meet and speak with a large number of people in regards to zombies and survival thereof., online and offline. While there is a large number of people out there who have made serious preparation for surviving a zombie out break or other situations where society falls. There is also those who I have come to term, the “Armchair Survivors” who do not train, who never go to the range or the sparring room, those who think that videogames and movies will teach them everything they need to know.

macgyver

After an apocalyptic breakdown, many social services will no longer be functioning. Police and other peace keeping forces will be gone, there will be no one to maintain water treatment or electrical systems, and it will fall to you, the survivor, to provide these things for yourself. You will have to re-invent ways to provide. Learn to think like MacGyver, and you might just be able to ride out the Apocalypse in style and comfort.
