The Zombie Survival Guide Complete Protection from the Living Dead
The book is a nice, fun read on the very serious topic of survival in the case of a zombie takeover. It lists and explains all the skills required to defend, secure, attack and relocate yourself in case of a world wide rise of the living dead. Many details are explained with excruciating detail, taking the most minute points into account. The basic rules of zombieslaying, be it the dobletap, or the "Don't be a hero" quote are repeatedly used in the book.
However, towards the end, the book becomes kinda repetitive, and drags along. But it's a fun read nonetheless.
No matter what you will find, and no matter what challenges you will face, take heart in the knowledge that you have survived a catastrophe not seen since the extinction of the dinosaurs, a world ruled by the living dead.
In Western-particularly American- culture, there is the myth of the individual superbeing. One man or woman, well-armed and highly skilled, with nerves of steel, can conquer the world. In truth,anyone believing this should simply strip naked, holler for the undead, then lay down on a silver platter.
Remember, humans require rest; zombies do not. Why put yourself in a situation that pits our greatest weakness against their greatest strength?
If someone says to you, "Hey, let's just get going and deal with whatever's out there," hand him a pistol with one bullet and tell him that it's an easier way of committing suicide.
Unfortunately for our society but fortunately for a zombie siege, inner-city schools have taken on a fortress-like atmosphere. Not only are the buildings them- selves built to withstand a riot, but chain-link fences surrounding them make these halls of education look more like military compounds. Food and medical supplies should he readily available from the cafeteria, the nurse's station, or the physical-education office. Often, a school is your best bet-perhaps not for education but certainly for protection from an undead attack.
Your goal is to survive, only survive, and never be a hero. Bravado in combat is the surest way to endanger yourself and those around you!
The trench spike is, without a doubt, the best compact anti-zombie weapon on earth. It is a combination of a seven-inch steel spike for a blade and brass knuckles for a handle. It was developed during the vicious and-to-hand combat of World War I, where soldiers killed each other in trenches no wider than a few feet.
If the device can he disassembled, do so, both in sunlight and total darkness until you know every pin, every spring, every curve and edge of that all-important machine. With practice will come both experience and confidence, two traits you must develop in order to successfully do battle with the living dead. History has proven that a well-trained individual, with nothing but a rock, has a better chance of survival than a novice with the latest technological marvel.
