[Safe Zones] Overseas Holiday
If the zompoc was to break out now, my holiday would be ruined. While I am in America, who are known for having automatic rifles on their kitchen tables, it is a foreign country and I know no one here. This raises the question of what would you do if you were stuck in unknown territory? (more…)
[Safe Zones]A Guide to Hostile City Areas: Supplies and Shelter
Written by Ringo
When hypothesizing an apocalypse in which anyone can imagine themselves as a gun-toting, instant survival expert; I constantly find myself focusing on decent places to hunt for supplies. I’m guessing that most of you reading this have realized that the best plan of survival involves getting as far away from a major city as you possible. Sadly, however, I don’t think that’s a real option for me. (more…)
[Plans] The ultimate zom-safe home!
So you’re a lucky bugger with money to throw around and you’re building a house. Why not use those funds to zombie-proof your home?
The ultimate zom-safe home is the epitomy of reclusive living that blends in with the neighbourhood, ensuring that you are left alone by zombies and people alike. From the outside, it appears to be a normal home, but as the owner, you know that you’re sleeping safe and sound within the walls of protection. (more…)
[Safe Zone] Drafting the circle method
The circle method is a semi-nomadic safe zone option where multiple safe zones are utilised to avoid overuse of resources and direction in case the current secure area is compromised. It is not a simple plan, and needs to be established prior to the zombie apocalypse, but the circle method can prevent you from wandering aimlessly if you ever lose your current safe zone. (more…)
[Safe Zone] Seat backs up, no tray tables down; no turning back to this country town
Ahh, zombies have invaded my country! What will I do? I know I’ll go to xXx!
Don’t migrate. For starters, it’s rude. Mass migration will put enormous strain on the country’s existing resources, and in communications breakdown, you won’t know if the country’s infected or not. You’ll be going in and fighting thousands of others (who all know the area better than you) for food, housing and safety. (more…)
[Safe Zone] On an island in the sun, we’ll be shooting and living long (maybe)
Ah, an island. We all want to go live on one, even if there isn’t a zombie outbreak. Why wouldn’t you? Blissful isolation, free from worries. Perfect…
Eh.
Just like travelling, life on an island will vary, so I’ll be covering the optimal island choices and at the same time will be explaining you why you’re better off sticking to the mainland. (more…)
[Safe Zone] On the road again, zombies coming at me on the road again…
Moving about should be reserved for extreme cases where your current location is not at all suitable for survival. As desirable as one may find the city for shelter from the apocalypse, I personally would resign myself as absolutely f**ked!*
Another case where moving is acceptable is in the case where the government has survived the outbreak and has requested annihilation of the area. However, unless they are considerate enough to possible survivors to relay some kind of warning, you won’t know about the annihilation until it happens. Complete destruction of suburban areas is the most likely scenario. Governments will be reluctant to flatten cities and ruin farmlands. Cities can be quarantined until cleared (cheaper than rebuilding), and farmlands will have low undead populations. Suburbs are replaceable and will contain large groups of zombies, validating the destruction. (more…)

[Safe Zone] Think up!
It’s strange, in a flight or fight situation, many of us go the “duck for cover”. We hurry ourselves into corners, behind/under/in whatever, in order to escape our pursuer. But if you’ve ever seen an action or horror film, you’d know that it never works. (more…)
