Those Pesky Zombies,

it would appear are at it again,

 or so we are led to believe, for some of us the zombie apocalypse is imminent, to others they are sceptical but cautious about denying it, so here is a quick guide to the basics, 

Zombie Apocalypse Survival Instructions,

Know Your Zombie

Not all zombies are created equal, so it’s important to be prepared for whatever version of the undead you may face. Here are a few classic types:

Basic walkers: These classic zombies are slow and steady in their quest for flesh. They’re relatively easy to neutralise but travel in growing packs, and once they start piling up against barriers, you better watch out.

Runners: Start training, because these zombies are fast. You will not outrun them, so you’ll want to fortify your apartment and wait it out.

Stalkers: These are the biggest threat to apartment dwellers. As quadrupeds, they can scale buildings, which means most apartments will become giant zombie vending machines.

Your Defence Starts at the Door

It’s all about the materials; here’s a breakdown of the strengths of various options based on the number of zombies needed to break through:

Doors:

• MDF door (3 zombies)
• Solid wood door (7 zombies)
• Steel door (14+ zombies)

Locks:

• Traditional knob (1 clever zombie)
• Knob plus security chain (2 zombies)
• Deadbolt (5 zombies)
• Bar lock (9 zombies)

and I guess the most important page if all else fails, Battle the Undead

There are plenty of things in your apartment that you can use to eliminate the zombie threat. Anything blunt, sharp or heavy will do the trick. Here are a few items everyone should have lying around:

• Baseball bat: highly effective, simple to use and inexpensive
• Kitchen knives: remember to keep them sharp … really sharp
• Household tools like hammers and screwdrivers
• Pots and pans
• Fire extinguishers: All apartments have them; gather several to bash and distract unwanted zombie callers.
• DIY polearm: Duct tape a kitchen knife onto a shower bar to defend yourself at a safe distance.
• DIY mace: Lock a frying pan onto the end of a bicycle chain and swing it around like a mace for small groups of undesirable undead.
• Safety first! To defend yourself against bites, use a cooking board, cookie sheet or even the lid of your toilet as a shield.
• Remember to resist the urge to do things using fire or chemicals to fight the zombies, because you may harm yourself.

If you do go toe-to-toe with a zombie, heed your target’s vulnerabilities:

Head: 100% effective
Arms and legs (cutting them off): arms 40%, legs 75%.
