We are slowly going to be adding in a new section onto Buy Zombie for Survival. Some of our older posts will be sent over to it and new ones will be added that focus on various aspects of survival in a post apocalyptic / zombie setting. This first post will most likely be referenced often and added to as well. It will contain basic survival rules and checklists that future posts will build upon.
Basic parts of our society are often factors that we take for granted. As civilization was built we automated our base needs so that they are considered trivial. These are things that if society were to collapse from a zombie outbreak that you will need to either have ready or quickly make sure to acquire to live in a world without what we consider normalcy. Continuing to take these things for granted in a post apocalyptic scenario will quickly lead to one’s death.
