As we at ZAC have stated in the past, not all of the threats you face post Z-day will be undead. The other humans you will face will be ready to kill you and steal all that you have worked hard to build for yourself. Most likely they will employ some sort of firearm to [...]

While many of us out there spend days trying to prepare the best we can to survive the zombie apocalypse there are some things that slip the mind. We gather weapons and munitions, food and water, and mentally prepare to pull the trigger on a zombie as they move towards us. But what about the [...]

Photo via Vagabondish The Christmas holidays have come and gone, and no zombie apocalypse.  While good news, this most certainly does not imply that we are out of the woods.  In fact, this is actually a very dangerous time in the realm of undead defense.
