If you think that being woken up by your cat in the the middle of the night with the zoomies was annoying, then imagine the shock at some pervert zombie going to town on your flesh, yep that’s game over I’m buddy.

There is a few options such as a designated lookout, but we’ve all seen the movies, they will probably fall asleep, get bitten and try and hide it from you. Don’t take the risk and get up high with a hammock tent and hope the zombies can’t climb.

In the famous words of Towelie, Wana get a little bit high?

Communication for supply runs

Picture this, you rock up to what seems like an empty supermarket, your supplies are low, and you really want to ease your sweet tooth while grabbing what you can. After staking out the area and getting a somewhat solid plan into place, you realize that communication is going to be an essential part of the mission.

Forget your mobile (if it even has power) and go all in for a decent line of communication in the form of long range and durable walkie talkies.

On the go power supply for zombie survival

Stay off the grid

Your mobile phone may have held up for a few days or maybe even longer if you’ve been fortunate enough to have a constant power supply (good luck with that). Maybe you will get to do one or two Fortnight dances over your first few zombie kills.

In all honesty you’re probably best to not even rely on the grid for any of your electronics that your going to need while attempting to survive the onslaught.

Power through the surrealist moments of your life

Clean water supply

Stay hydrated to stay alive

This should really be further up the list. The consensus is that people can survive for around three days without water.

If you’re active as you would be in a zombie survival situation (not even taking into consideration hotter climates) your need for clean water will be at the top of your list to secure. The main issues here is that you will be competing against other humans who have probably looted and horded as much water as possible (forget toilet roll). Or the local water supply is contaminated with god knows what.

So, no matter where you are make sure that you have these emergency survival water straws that will allow you to quench your thirst with clean H2O.

Stay hydrated out there.

Keep your mind sharp and your body fit

Don't become cannon fodder

Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse will require a strong mindset and body. In the spirit of being prepared, make sure you stay on top of your fitness, or put simply, you’re going to be the friend who becomes cannon fodder.

Don’t say we didn’t warn you

Smashing zombies and clapping cheeks

Stay protected out there

Forget swiping right on Tinder or Bumble online dating is completely over. Fear not though, there will be plenty of other people in the same situation as you, and if you happen to meet and trust other humans then there will be plenty of downtime to connect and yes, devour each other.

Now, as appealing as going in raw after weeks or even months of no sex, the last thing you want during a zombie apocalypse is to deal with a screaming baby nine months later, who will give away your location to the zombies and roaming human gangs looking to take your supplies.
