I am a zombie fanatic, it’s a little obsession of mine. This past sunday while watching one of the most shocking episodes of The Walking Dead I began wondering what if an outbreak did happen and our government could do nothing but lose control of the situation? Where would you go? How would you get there? Who and what would you take? A few questions that remain for me very uneasy to answer off the top of my head. We all know that if something like this happened we would be forced to think on our toes and would have no time to wonder what we can take. Now a days you can catch zombie survival tip commercials, perhaps our government is attempting to tell us something. So I have come up with a personal list of what I would take:
1.) A single backpack preferably one meant for hiking (for obvious reasons)
2.) My personal fire arm of choice would be a Glock 40 (it is a gun I am familiar with)
3.) A close combat weapon of choice would be between an ax or sledge hammer (along with this I would have a knife that is always within reach incase I lose my gun or close combat weapon)
4.) As for what is in my backpack a compass, dry foods (my dad is a military man so lucky me we have a bunch) canned foods are something I would eat at the moment I find them considering they would add quite a bit of weight to my person, I would keep one extra pair of socks because foot fungi is a real thing and to avoid such uncomfortableness I would alternate between pairs every so often, I would bring a flash light with solar powered batteries, a few water bottles and pray I can find a fresh water source incase I run out
5.) As far as who would go with me remains a mystery for fucked up reasons, my family comes to mind first my oldest sister has a small child ( unnecessary noises) my youngest sister I suppose I would not hesitate to bring with me, my dad although a military man he has his survival skills but he had a stroke and can walk, just not as fast as I would hope if he chooses to stay behind I’m sure my mom would too. It would be a difficult decision, if I could to choose to bring them all I would and I will.
6.) Where would I go? Anywhere that is not heavily populated, I live in a suburban area I’m an hour from Hollywood, California is not a state I would attempt to remain in, I would grab what I can get in a car fill up my take and drive as far away as I could before I have to start walking.
A brief list, but it’s short and to the point. If such a tragedy were to occur then the longer this list the less chance I have of survival. Any tips? Or maybe you’d like to share with me would you would do or take, feel free to comment, I love ALL feed back even if it is negative.
