For those trying to make it through the zombie apocalypse in one piece, longtime zombie survivor Kodi Schmaltz has some advice to offer.
In an apocalyptic situation, a person should bug in or bug out. Bugging in involves a person barricading him or herself in a building with enough supplies to outlast the zombie attack. Bugging out involves packing a survival bag and hitting the road while trying to find some safe ground. Either way, doing nothing is not an option.
Have an area to meet loved ones if you feel you can’t live without them.
If you think you can handle some alone time, head out alone. You’ll travel faster.
Don’t be afraid to kill your loved ones. If they are zombies, they still love your heart, but they are more interested in eating it.
Head north. Zombies haven’t mastered the art of wearing overcoats and will likely freeze to death.
Disease is spread by exchange of bodily fluids, so avoid contact with zombies, particularly getting bitten or getting sprayed by blood.
If you are bitten, kill yourself. There are no immunities, and you will be doing your loved ones a favor. Note: Amputation of the infected limb will not save you.
Infected individuals have 24 hours before they turn into full-blown zombies.
The military will be out killing zombies, so take precautions not to look like a zombie. Maintain good hygiene; don’t be green, don’t let blood ooze out of your orifices and no tattered clothing.
Most importantly, trust no one. Stay close to the people who you would give you their last cigarette, too, and don’t give anyone a chance.
Good luck out there.
