How to Survive a Zombie Invasion.

How to Survive a Zombie Invasion.
This guide will help you in case there is nuclear warfare and everyone turns into a zombie. I caution you that this information might not help because I have not in fact seen an actual zombie.

The first step to survive a zombie attack is to have people with you. This is in my opinion is the number one way to survive. What about weapons and food you say, well calm down and let me explain. Say all you had were people and a zombie starts running at you. What do you do? You push a fellow survivor down so the zombie stops to take care of him and you and your group run to safety. You may think this is mean, but think of it this way. It's either you or him.

a chainsaw isnt the best option.  it has limited fuel, and generates too much noise.  you can fend off zombies for a few hours, then it becomes dead weight.  plus, the noise basically advertises you as an all you can eat buffet.

yep

not only, when attacking the zombie with a chain saw, you can get blood spatter in your eyes, mouth or nose, alll of which can get you infected.
Sep 2, 2010. 8:45 AMghostrider2 says:
not necessarily. some zombie survival experts believe that the infection is only passed through bites.

I don't mean to be rude but there is only one type of zombie, if any zombie tissue, flesh, blood, bones, or fluids come into contact of an open wound or other opening you to will become a zombie!

if that's true, then the toxin or virus is produced in the salivary glands. Also, how can one be an expert on something that isn't very ..... well common? Is it possible to be an expert on zombies without well...... zombies? And I ask this with all due respect.
Sep 2, 2010. 11:07 AMghostrider2 says:
its more like experts on the theory. kind of like stephen hawking with black hole theory.

aaahhhhh, I see now...

It's much safer to move around in a face mask or even a gas mask as it will help prevent blood reaching sensitive areas.
Jun 25, 2011. 8:01 AMRagnarocker says:
I agree entirely, however, what of the filter cartriges? Have them on or off? And i ask because not using them now, means you can use them later, but if you've seen the movie 28 days later, the father of the girl who lived in the building with the christmas lights on their balcony, was wearing a full head mask, and was wielding a riot shield and extendable baton.
His face was protected by a face shield, something you'd see surgeons using to avoid blood spatter. Nonetheless, a [german] gas mask is the way to go if you want full head protection, only downsides are: optical field of view is very ristricted, and hearing is impaired. Also, you have to yell for anyone else wearing a gasmask to even notice you are speaking. This can be overcome with two way communication radios with mic and speaker in you mask.

And for a base, I think a good base would be a supermarket, like Target. Or maybe a gas staion. Or a gun store. Thx for reading.
Dec 24, 2011. 9:51 AMmiinecraftfreak44 says:
That's probably a good idea. My preference is an AK47. With a sniper scope on it(I don't know much about guns, so this probably isn't a very helpful comment.).

Did that for science class

What the heck is up with all this 'zombie' stuff? Sounds like a grimmer version of Harold Camping (aka 'On May 21, 2011, the righteous will be saved from 5 months of hell on earth, before God destroys the universe')

As a substitute for a standard gas mask, might I offer this as a stop gap measure:

http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Gas-Mask/

This is not my instructable but, seems like it would help. Also, I plan to head to Home Depot, the one near my house has is a fortress with steel roll-up doors and enough equipment to build anything you need plus a huge plant area with a like 15ft fence, potting soil and, seeds for the long term hold out. I could put expanded steal sheeting around the drivers compartment on the fork lift, and make forays out to pick up other supplies from the surrounding stores. As far as weapons, there will be plenty after the initial event from people who didn't fair as well.
Nov 2, 2011. 5:07 PMTimmyMiller says:
and most likely are all out of supplies by the time you get there.
Nov 2, 2011. 5:06 PMTimmyMiller says:
are you trying to get everyone who reads this...

EATEN ALIVE?!!!!!!!!

THE PLACES YOU JUST LISTED ARE THE ABSOLUTE LAST PLACES YOU SHOULD GO TO!!!!!!

not trying to be mean or anything, just they are REALLY BAD places to go to because they are first stops for zombies....
Feb 15, 2011. 4:36 AMcarlpogi_11 says:
thank u for the tips by the way i watch some discovery movies and they said that the zombie apocalypes will be start in just few years

hehehe

if we survive 2012
Jun 6, 2010. 10:41 AMbendog38 says:
One great place to be is at a Bass Pro Shops store. The one near me has at least 200 fireams and millions of boxes of ammunition. They also have food and water. This place is 2 floors with more that 2 million square feet of equipment.
Oct 12, 2011. 12:44 AMarkangel1975 says:
Be careful because that would be you and a lot of other survivors headed there too. In survival situations people would not necessary be as "nice" to each other as we are now. Some (not all) people could be really dangerous. Best be prepared in your own home.
Jul 30, 2011. 4:40 PMRJ_Cyberboy says:
Tru dat! Gander Mountain stores are good too.
Oct 12, 2011. 12:41 AMarkangel1975 says:
one thing the original ID Software game DOOM has taught us all is that you can take on all the denizens of hell with just a pump action shotgun......

so I would suggest you want damage to zombies go shotgun.....

hahahaha

even the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) in the US are on board with this

http://www.bt.cdc.gov/socialmedia/zombies_blog.asp

But seriously do you know how many specifically coordinated nerve impulses it takes to just walk? I wouldn't be that worried.

Considering I didn't see this anywhere (here and my research on the web) I'd like to mention toliet paper. It's a good idea, if not, ingenious, to get some toliet paper on and for the journey ahead.

i am legend, totally not a zombie movie.
Sep 4, 2011. 11:56 AMTheNextWorldLeader says:
I'm late... But you're totally right. It's a vaampire movie sadly. I think it would've been better with zombies. That way the streets are always packed with infected. Yeah, that's right, make it tough for Neville.
Apr 16, 2011. 11:22 PMCapt. Kidd says:
"For a melee weapon, your weapon must be at least four feet long so the zombie can't claw you, light so that you can use it faster, and must be able to take a zombie's head off on the first or second hit. A good example is an axe or chainsaw. "
A chainsaw is light?
Jun 19, 2011. 4:55 AMnetbus says:
~lols hard~
No, a chainsaw isn't light. It's also noisy and fuel consuming. I'd go with a machete, sabre or a kukri. It's rather short but you can cut the zombie in half with it.
Jul 6, 2011. 11:05 AMCapt. Kidd says:
Exactly. Thank you.

You give me signal, I fire!

you just want to permanently erase any shred of evidence that zombies ever existed dont you? I mean, look at that monster! You are simply spraying death on the exit end of those barrels.
Jan 31, 2011. 11:23 AMlivinlife_77 says:
Wow All you guys know a lot about the Undead but in the cases and this may be a far reach but are any of you thinking that the virus would effect animals also? Birds, Mice, Rats, creepy crawlers?

Also if a mosquito bit an infected not to sure (OFF or Raid) would work to well....


Just a thought.
Jun 19, 2011. 5:09 AMnetbus says:
If I'm not mistaken, viruses tend to be very specific. For example, a dog virus won't usually effect human beings unless it's mutated - which is the swine flu is all about -- a mutated pig virus.
If you've ever played Dead Frontier(one of my favorite games) you know that the N-3(Nerotonin-3) was supposed to be a cancer curing virus, but then it mutated into the N-4 and caused the zombie outbreak.

I don't completely understand your second questions, do you mean what would happen if a mosquito would bite an infected and then a human being?
First off I highly doubt the mosquito can be infected if that's what you mean as the virus will have to mutate in order to accomplish that.
If the zombies are UNDEAD, which means they died and revived, it means they are cold and don't breath(mosquitoes are attracted by carbon dioxide and heat) the mosquito won't even think of biting them.
If the infected are alive, however(like in 28 Days Later), the mosquito will carry infected blood and thus infect all the other people it bites.

if any of you have read the zombie surbival guide you would know to go to a island.
oh and by the way superb innstructable i needed some zombie action oh and if you play any zombie games like on black ops or world at war you should check out my instructable although it occurs to me that i dont know what its listed under ah well:)
Jan 2, 2011. 12:48 PMpbman123 says:
you are the only other person i know that has even thought about getting away from the mainland on a bout but might i suggest maybe taking a military vessel? it may take some fighting to take but well worth it. besides you can just dump all the zombies overboard
Sep 2, 2010. 7:38 AMRagnarocker says:
its not like you're going to know whether the cruise ship has infected or not. Also, I highly doubt that you and your non-infected friends know how to operate such a massive ship, maintain its onboard controls and use communication systems. I'm betting that by the time you search the ship for undead, 1 month will have passed, and by then, you will be flooded with them. By the way, a cruise ship needs gargantuan amounts of fuel to operate. thus, cruise ship = bad idea unless you bock the entrance, and keep it in the harbour, at which point you don't need to know how to run the ship.
Dec 27, 2010. 12:33 AMbeehard44 says:
better start using ship simulator extremes
Nov 28, 2010. 12:55 PMconnorsimpson says:
cruise ship might not be bad, if you can get it as far as open water you could probably just chill there for a few years assuming you brought enough food. the only real problem as you mentioned would be the passengers, but if you were somehow able to solve that problem it would be a pretty awesome way to wait out the zombie apocalypse
Dec 19, 2010. 1:39 PMstaffordsass says:
i was thinking i would take a disney cruise ship and just blow heads off you know blow a hole im mickieshead take minney hostage kill the passengers i know it sounds gruesom but if you kill the passengers 1 at a time you will not only have the supplies already on the ship and that you brought with you but you could eat them
