What are you reading? Sure, everyone has a copy of Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z, but what other zombie related materials have found their way to your bookshelf? You might say, well, those books are just good stories and not fiction. I would argue that any document about zombies could help prepare you as it gets your mind going. Continue Reading »
An often overlooked, yet critical, aspect of zombie survival is communicating with other survivors and allies. The exchange of information during the apocalypse will mean the difference between life and death, so contact through any means available will be vital. Many a team will undoubtedly drive or hike several miles to find a hardware store or loot an Army Surplus store only to find the stores empty or the local zombie threat unmanageable. Since it won’t be possible to snap on the television for updates or scan the local classified ads, how will a survivor know what’s going on beyond the walls of their own fortification?
“Although it may take several decades for the process of transformation to unfold, in time, the art of warfare… will be vastly different than it is today… the distinction between military and commercial space systems-combatants and noncombatants- will become blurred… advanced forms of biological warfare that can “target” specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool.”

What kind of flesh do zombies prefer?
Let’s say you’re stranded in a house surrounded by flesh craving zombies with four other survivors. There’s no way out and you need a distraction to allow you to escape. What types of animals would be acceptable bait? A dog, cat or chicken? Would the undead chase down and devour a horse, cow or even a pig? What about carrying an animal for a diversion in an emergency? What type of animal would you bring with you for just such an occasion? Continue Reading »
Where do I go in the event of an actual zombie emergency?
In the event of an actual zombie emergency, citizens are advised to stay indoors. While this option will suffice in the short term, it is unfeasible for any long term survival plans. At some point, everyone will need to go outdoors for food, water, medical supplies or weapons. This article will document where resources and safe shelter will most likely be found as well as locations to avoid. Continue Reading »
Finding food and other supplies is essential. You’re going to have to use all of your knowledge and skill just to stay alive. To do this, you’re going to need the right tools.

Apologies for the lack of activity on our part. I personally have been facing some medical issues that have forced me to cut back on some things I am involved with, which meant that this site had fallen down on the priority list. For those that have submitted emails requesting to be an author, those requests have not fallen on deaf ears and we are working to implement new authors, new opinions, and new theories into the site. Thank you for your patience.
