Zombie Apocalypse

In Honor of The Walking Dead coming back on in 15 days I am doing a  "What you should do in case of a ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE" post.

In 2012 the CDC came out and stated that a "ZOMBIE VIRUS" is real. It is basically Rabies, here is a link:

   -You should definitely go check it out, it's very interesting!


Sooo....like The Walking Dead you see them moving a lot (in all seasons), it's all about location, location, location. If you are in a city -like Chicago, New York, L.A- get the hell out of there!! You do NOT want to be stuck there for many reasons. You want to go into the Country, a Farm, anywhere secluded but make sure it is safe!


You need to have a B.O.B (Bug Out Bag) below you will see a picture of mine.Think of it as a camping bag but with more stuff. Everyone's is different but in mine I have: First Aid Kit, Machete, Rope, Pots/Pans, Fishing Kit, MREs, Gas Mask, Sling Shot, Tarp, LifeStraw, Knives, Poncho's, Matches, Bottled Water, Emergency Blanket, Gloves, Clothes and much, much more. 


What are you going to use to defend yourself? A crossbow like Daryl, revolver like Rick , a sword like Michonne or a shotgun like Shane? If you are against guns or violence then you better grow some balls, get the hell over it & do some target practice! Now personally I have no problem with it, hell my husband taught me how to shoot & now I outshoot him. So, if you are a chick it doesn't mean you need the men to take care of you. If you put any gun in my hand you better believe I will shoot anything that threatens me or my family.


You will want a handgun on your hip, for easy access. There are many different Calibers so its more of a personal choice -or just whatever you can get your hands on. Personally I have a 22 caliber (it was the first pistol I bought) & a .38 special, that kicks like a mule so I suggest only experienced shooters use. ((Picture Below)) If you are a new shooter I would start off with a 22 or a 9mm. 
(notice the Zombie bullets)
You will also want a Shotgun, they do the most damage. I have a 20 gauge (it has less kick) and my hubby has a 12 gauge. Now what about distance? Like how Glenn is in the tower at the prison. You need something with a good scope. They use a AR-15 in Walking Dead, it is also what most of our military uses. And that is what I would suggest to use. If you have a good scope & steady hand you will never miss. Below is a picture of me shooting my AR.

And....what about FOOD? You have the food at your home but how long will it last, Do you have enough for 2 weeks? You need to have at least that much. Also look into M.R.E's (Meal Ready to Eat) and freeze dried food. What about WATER? You need to consume a gallon of water a day. So what if your water gets shut off at your home -what will you do? Do you have any bottled water? You should have at least enough water to last 2-4 weeks. You can also grow a Garden for food, like Rick does. Or have pigs, cows & chicken if you can and be in walking distance of a river.
