You may have noticed that I have a fixation on zombies. Is this healthy? Of course! Where are you going to be during the impending zombie apocalypse? What will you do? What will you pack? Who will you take? How will your group dynamics work? These are all things I have been considering as of late. Although I have been honing my skills for dodging and executing zombies by playing such titles in the Resident Evil series, this isn’t enough to survive in a class three of four zombie infestation (A class three is a sizable attack in an urban ares, and a class four attack is essentially the apocalypse; the end of the world as we know, with very few human survivors). In order to assist me with this planning, I purchased and read the unquestionably elite source on such information; The Zombie Survival Guide by author Max Brooks. Contained in this book is a wealth of information on everything you’ll need to know in the case of a zombie outbreak, regardless of the severity and scale. Using this book, no, this tool, I have drafted a plan for my family’s survival.
