How to Survive a Possible Zombie Apocalypse

Ashley Barnes
Something massive has happened and almost everyone around you has turned into a zombie. So what are you going to do to survive the resulted zombie apocalypse. If I was in that situation, the following locations, weapons, vehicles, food and drinks is what I would have on me, if possible.

Best possible area for protection from flesh eating zombies

The best locations for protection in my opinion would be a military base, because of the massive supply of weapons that you could choose from. Then I would have to choose either the desert or a nearby rooftop, because the desert zombies would be unlikely to survive without human flesh and rooftops, because zombies can't climb that well, plus you can lock the doors to levels below you, if you need shelter. But if you are on the move the best protection would be some kind of vehicle, which you can run over the zombies if they are in your way. Just make sure that it is not a hoard of the living dead, because that would suck.

Best weapons to go against the zombies

Weapons of choice would be machine guns, because you can shoot multiple targets. I would even use a bazooka to blow up large hoards of zombies, even grenades would work for about the same amount of zombies. Rifles would be a good choice of weapon, if you have a minimal group of zombies walking towards you, the same would be for hand guns. If you have a very small group of zombies, I would use a variety of melee weapons, like machete's, swords, knives, basically any thing sharp that would '˜kill' a zombie.

Best choice in vehicles to out run the zombies

The best vehicles to have during a zombie apocalypse would be a S.U.V., van, or truck; because these vehicles would hold more people, along with storage for extra food and water, ammo, weapons and whatever a person would need to survive. It would be helpful to have a storage bin or trailer with you for even more storage.

What to eat during the zombie apocalypse

During this whole thing, you will need food and beverages to drink. I would go with non-perishable food, because it would last longer. If I needed non-perishable food I would stock up on ramen noodles, crackers, cereal, and anything that wouldn't spoil. Yes, I know that I might want something cold, but if that were the case I would have a cooler so that I could keep my cold items in it. For drinks, I would have Gatorade and water, so that I wouldn't die of thirst.

Conclusion

I hope that the zombie apocalypse doesn't happen and more likely will never happen. But if it did happen, these are the items I would get and use during the apocalypse in order to survive, because I would not want to get eaten or whatever the case may be, by a zombie. I hope this will also give you some insight in what to do during a possiable zombie apocalypse.
