The Zombie Rule Book: A Zombie Apocalypse Survival Guide (6 page)

This will depend on availability or where you can obtain or steal one from but as soon as possible get one. If you are out and cannot carry a rucksack due to carrying or collecting other items, a survival vest with lots of pockets and pouches is ideal to carry your pocket knives, ammo, and some first-aid essentials.

Rule # 43
Cover your tracks

Cover your tracks, don’t lead anyone to you. You can even make false tracks to confuse other survivors. Your tracks can easily give you away so carry a long stick and use it to sweep over your tracks as you go.
The last thing you want is to lead other survivors to your base.

Rule # 44
Camouflage

Camouflage is very important, you not only have to be undetectable to zombies but you will also need to be undetectable to other survivors who will be trying to steal your food, water, clothing and anything else they can get their hands on. Ok, so you can’t pop down to the local army surplus shop but use your surroundings, in woodland areas use branches, twigs, ferns and mud to disguise yourself.

Rule # 45
Eliminate zombies

It sounds obvious but every one that you kill is one less that will bother you later on. It may seem like an endless battle but
do what you can to keep the number of zombies in your area to a minimum.

Rule # 46
Don’t miss

When you aim at a zombie try to hit it, don’t miss, especially if you only have one bullet left in your gun.

Rule # 47
Kill anyone who shows signs of becoming infected

This is imperative, be vigilant and kill anyone who shows signs that they are turning. This rule may save your life.

Rule # 48
Use a knife with a good grip

It’s important that the knife which you carry with you as part of your survival equipment has a good grip and won’t fall from your hand. You can use a parachute cord or rope, and leave a loop big enough as a handle, think of a Wii remote cord, you want to be able to fight without losing a grip on your knife.

Rule # 49
Acquire a slingshot

These are an important accompaniment to the zombie apocalypse survival kit. You can use these to smash windows from a distance and to confuse zombies by making a sound in a different direction than the one you are heading for. A slingshot can also be used for defense and for hunting.

Rule # 50
Keep your hair short

You don’t see many boxers or fighters with long hair. This is for a good reason. It is safer to have short hair, long hair can be grabbed at, get caught up, and block your peripheral vision putting your life at risk. This goes for men women and children. A shaved head is ideal.

Rule # 51
Gratitude

This may be hard, and yes for most people their family and friends have turned into rotting, walking and eating corpses, and their homes have turned into urban wastelands. Be grateful for your survival when hundreds of thousands of people across
the globe haven’t. You are a survivor, you are alive, you are a fighter, be grateful for that, this will give you a new outlook on your life.

Rule # 52
Learn to be a Liar

Learn to be a very convincing liar, you may need to lie your way in and out of situations. Don’t get caught, practice being convincing, this may save your life some day.
