With the #rapture and #zombie apocalypse trends sweeping the twitterverse and beyond, I thought I’d hop (or shuffle, or shamble) onto the bandwagon with my own Zombie survival tips. The headings are FF Folk Rough Web, the body copy is good ol’ Georgia.
Zombie Apocalypse survival:
5 tips for Vancouver Islanders.
1. Go North or West
If you live on the Island as I do, your tendency may be to head south, or east – towards ferries, airports and the mainland. Don’t! Most of the population will be trying to escape, but the smart move is to head to lower population zones where there are fewer undead to snack on your brain candy.
2. Stay off the main highway
It may seem faster, but there are fewer resources off the main highway. Stick to the old island highway where, if needed, you can hop out of your car and easily resupply along the way.
3. Teach yourself to fish and you’ll eat for life
The island is a bountiful buffet of almost ready to eat treats like seafood, venison, ready to eat plants and flora and an abundance of fresh water. If you have limited space, you’re better off bringing tools to catch and cook your own edibles instead of packing your backpack full of granola bars and dried fruit.
4. Head for the open ocean
There’s no shortage of small islands just off the coast and during a zombie apocalypse, it’s any port in a storm. If you can “borrow” a boat and get to one of these islands, do so. While zombies can walk under water, they’re likely to remain in heavily populated zones as they’re not migratory creatures.
5. Zombie survival is chess, not checkers
If you’re to survive a zombie apocalypse you need to stay several steps ahead of the living dead. Bring board games, acoustic instruments, books and other items to keep you entertained – boredom will kill you as quickly as a zombie nomming on your noggin. Keep your group small and stay away from populated areas. It might be months or years before the world is safe from zombies again, so be ready to wait it out.
