Zambies!

Since no true zombie survivalist would ever disclose his means for survival you get to listen to me discuss generalities about the zombie Apocalypse so that when it comes you won't be the loser who dies first. When the undead rise there is no getting ready. You're either prepared for what is to come or you are unequipped and untrained. When the swarms of the undead are breaking through your windows it's too late to stockpile food, water and weapons. The best time to be ready is a week ago, but since that is an impossibility right now will suffice. When the dead rise again there will be no grocery store or milk man. You'll have to live off what you have which is hopefully more than that can of spam that was in the cupboard when you moved in that you've been afraid to touch for the last three years. Prepare your food supplies or you'll die of starvation long before the dead breach your poorly barricaded windows. I recommend storing 1 to 2 months worth of canned goods and correctly packaged grains. Rotate your stockpiles into your meal so that your cans are always fresh and up to date to provide the longest shelf life possible. Keeping seeds and gardening/farming equipment is also a good call considering if it goes from a stage 2 to stage 4 outbreak you've got to be ready for the long haul. Store enough water so that everyone that will be with you when the world ends has 3 gallons of water per day for 1 to 2 months. This seems like a lot until you consider everything water is used for. I also recommend purchasing rain barrels and means with which to purify your water so that you can survive long term. Food and water are important, but unless you can repel the dead and fend off the living you're stockpiled assurance does you no good. Go for quality not quantity. I recommend 2 fire arms per person both a main weapon and a side arm. Rifles and shotguns make for great primary weapons. Steer clear of anything automatic because it is overkill when considering only a blow to the brain will end a zombie. Focus on accuracy. Use your brain and take out theirs. For your sidearm avoid anything too heavy. I'm a fan of a 9mm or even a .22. Both are light and effective against zombies, plus ammo is easier to carry and cheaper to come by. Guns are great, but as my zombie fearing idol Max Brooks once said, "Blades don't need reloading." Carry a knife and a blunt or blade hand to hand combat weapon. When the bullets run out it's nice to have a bat, sword, or machete with which to beat/slash back the hordes of zombies. Avoid anything too heavy because you will be swinging your weapon for a long time and you don't want to tire. Keep your wits and blades sharp. Prepare yourself physically now for what is to come. Build strength and don't forget cardio the number 1 rule in Zombie land. While training your body don't forget to train with the weapons that will keep the undeads' teeth off it. Be accurate enough and skilled enough to efficiently slay the undead. Wasting bullets is an atrocity when ammunition factories no longer are in operation. If you aren't ready to face the undead face to face, when you finally square off with them it's too late.
