“When the zombie outbreak happens, I am going to grab my family, hop in the car, and get the hell out of town.” This flawed logic will only get you killed. Below are the top five reasons why a mobile zombie defense should not include your vehicle. Continue Reading »

Some say that the best offense is a good defense. We tend to agree, especially when speaking of an undead outbreak.
Many times during a debate regarding the proper zombie defense tactic and plan, someone will make mention that you should go on the offensive and not sit back, waiting on the undead to find their way to your location. While many believe (myself included) that the zombies will be slow and clumsy, it would be foolish to base all of your plans around this as it has yet to be proven. With that said, you should not rely on slow and clumsy zombies thinking you can turn yourself into Rambo, instantly going on the offensive, shredding all of the undead that comes your way. Be ready for fast zombies. Continue Reading »
In the fight against the undead, weapons born in the modern era will only have a small hand in the war. To triumph, we will have to take a page from our ancestors who have fought the undead centuries and generations before us. Not discounting the value of a good firearm, there are other weapons commonly available that can be used against the coming tides of death.
In movies and games that populate the lives of many we see the hero standing up as the undead close in around him. First he empties his long gun, if he even has one, and as the enemy closes in all around he draws his pistol. Depending on the movie or game it is often a revolver, large and powerful the symbol of American gun perfection, the soul of the old west. He brings up his gun and fires till they are all dead. In real life he pulls the trigger six times, maybe hitting half that number of zombies and maybe killing one, and as he tried desperately to reload dropping the cartridges because his hands shake with fear and adrenaline he is over whelmed and consumed. Did he have the right weapon for close range zombie defense? Continue Reading »
In the inevitable zombie holocaust where the undead walk and cannot be quickly destroyed your own home will not longer offer you sanctuary, be it for lack of food or that zombies have worked their way through your defenses. Or maybe at the beginning of an outbreak you run and need to find a safe place to hide with you cadre of fellow zombie survivalists. As you search you will likely come across one of the now common super shopping centers. These centers may offer the appearance of safety along with a number of other attributes, but do not be fooled.

Recently, a question was posed to the ZAC that we felt was worth addressing. Perhaps in jest, we were asked if “acting dead” would prove to be a useful survival tactic during an undead outbreak.There are certainly arguments for it, such as the fact that the average studies have shown how generally clumsy zombies actually are. Did the writers of Shaun of the Dead get it right? Is it possible to pretend to be dead in order to safely navigate a group of zombies? There are other factors at play which should be considered.
