Most people assume that being prepared for a zombie apocalypse is a waste of time. But, if you've been keeping track of the constant hype involving biological warfare; then you've realized that it is very possible to be hunting human brains and relatively soon. You may not find this enjoyable now, but if you become infected with the virus; consider it a delicacy.  Have you thought about how to protect yourself? Or would you rather succumb to the flesh eating humans with dead skin and horrible tans? After all; similar to all the horror movies; there isn't yet a cure for something that the government refuses to admit exists. The fact remains that this is an apparent issue and the more prepared you are to survive is the only way that you will.

First things first, if you live in an overpopulated city; get out! You'll have to move like a stealth angel in order to leave without being seen. After all; a zombie's hunger is contingent upon the smell and you would be considered prime filet. And forget about dressing to impress; this is survival of the fittest people, so leave the sandals and t-shirt for the zombies. The goal is to get to the most desolate area possible where the population is next to zero.  This won't guarantee that there isn't a zombie family member waiting for your arrival, but at least you'll be out of the main locations of a spreading virus.

Meanwhile; communication and being informed is also very important. Don't bother checking the latest highlights; the world has succumbed to the virus and football has been canceled forever. Having a solar powered radio turned on at all times to hear the upcoming solution will also inform you of safe areas to travel. And since a zombie's English isn't very clear; rest assured in knowing that you're receiving vital information from one of your own. But, if you hear grumbling and something that sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher; it is a sure sign that the broadcaster has been infected. Basically; find another channel. Also, make sure to have walkies talkies on hand to keep in contact with others that haven't been eaten... yet.

However, it isn't enough just to hide out until the government figures out how to contain the zombie apocalypse. You also have to protect yourself to prevent from being infected. Guns and bullets will eventually become obsolete; so make sure to take your best shot and aim for the head. But, carrying around a large knife or machete will also prove to be quite effective as long as you cut off the head. Make sure to avoid the blood splatter because if that gets into your eye, mouth, or an open wound; you might as well aim for your own head next.

Lastly; be aware of fellow survivors. You might get excited to see a normal person, but that doesn't mean they'll be ecstatic to see you. People will be taking Darwin's Theory to the next level and may even slay you just for supplies. In other words; watch your own butt and don't worry about anyone else other than family. Even then; pick and choose your battles.

For those that think that it could never happen; stop living in a fantasy world. The concept of zombies derived from somewhere and it wasn't from two guys sitting in a bar. Being prepared is the most important thing because if it does happen, you don't want your head to be a target. Besides; wouldn't you rather be the one aiming?
