Our team has been working to train people for the coming Zombie Apocalypse through tools and tips learned in their various fields of expertise. We expect to give you the same tools and training to ensure your one of the survivors, and not part of the undead plague.
By keeping up to date on the latest literature, tools, and training we plan to show you how to stay healthy and avoid becoming one of the undead horde that will pillage humanity. So check back with us on a regular basis to ensure you are prepared to survive the Zombie Apocalypse
One of the questions we get more than any other is, “What is the best machete for killing zombies?” We’ve given it some thought recently, and pooled our own machetes to see where we stood. Not unsurprisingly there were a variety of blades displayed, and each person had their own reasons for choosing their personal weapon. Taking [...]
The day will come when all the zombies are gone. They may be buried, frozen, dissolving at the bottom of the sea, etc. but they will, for all intents and purposes, be gone. At this point humanity, if we have survived, will have to rebuild. If we are lucky and have survived through the zombie apocalypse there [...]
When it comes to killing a zombie horde, what’s better; a single shot or a hail of lead flying through the air? Well, it might surprise some to find out that, when faced with the flesh eating undead, the single shot is the better option, regardless of the number of walking corpses headed your way. [...]
The zombie apocalypse will be as hard a war as has ever been fought. People will have to do terrible things, make impossible choices, and live in ways that are not only uncomfortable, but completely incomprehensible to them now. If one is to survive the zombie outbreak, one needs to be strong of mind and [...]
We love zombies, and we have to admit we’re excited about the possibility of a zombie apocalypse. But we also understand that we’re human and there are aspects about surviving an outbreak that we can miss. In that vein, we’re asking for help from our readers. Is there something that we haven’t covered that you [...]
Grenades are decent anti-personnel weapons and one would assume that they would be worth using against the zombie hordes. However, this is not the case. When it comes to the undead, grenades are next to worthless. A grenade works as a shrapnel scattering weapon. The explosive inside detonates and forces the metal casing away from [...]
Communication between groups and even individuals is going to be very difficult after the Zombie Outbreak. Cell phones will not work, the Internet will go down, even the mail will fail to be delivered. All of this will happen within weeks (if not days) after the outbreak begins. Yes, there will still be satellites up [...]
We talked yesterday about travelling during a zombie outbreak, and the hassles that carrying weapons while flying. Well today we wanted to take a moment and follow up on that. You see, when you’re checking luggage carrying weapons can be rather simple, and it also can be additional insurance that your luggage will meet you [...]
There seems to be a great deal of confusion on whether or not zombies will attack animals, and if they do, will those animals become infected, simply die, or go on with their lives. As this video shows, some types of zombies will indeed attack animals that enter their vicinity, but this is not always the case.
Some types of zombies will indeed attack an animal, though those same types will typically attack any warm or moving object. Some types of zombies will only attack certain types of animals (e.g., mammals but not lizards,) and some types of zombies will only go after a human being.
To make this a little more straightforward we have come up with the following lists to help you in knowing whether or not your family pets are safe.
Zombies that Will Attack Animals:
Zombies that Will Only Attack Humans
To understand how to identify each type of zombie, please click on the links above and review the various articles. This will advise you on how to identify your zombies, and find out whether they are a threat to only you, or if you need to protect your pets as well.
One important item to note when reviewing the articles, not all zombie types can be spread to your animals. So while you may want to protect Spot from being eaten, if he does get bitten, you do not necessarily need to put him out of his misery.
If your pet/horse/cow/sheep does receive a bite, and you are unsure what type of zombie you have encountered, the safest option is to put the animal down. We understand that this is difficult (nigh on impossible for some.) We are pet owners and animal lovers ourselves, and to have to put down your own animal is one of the most difficult decisions one can make, even if it isn’t due to an infected bite from a zombie.
That said, the infected pet is no longer the loving, caring creature you have shared time and adventures with. If not now, then soon it will turn into a vicious, ravenous creature with only your death in mind.
If you cannot bring yourself to put your pet down, and you have not been able to identify the type of zombie bite it has received, you have two options.
NOTE: We cannot stress enough how dangerous, and frankly stupid this option is. Primarily, keeping a potentially infected animal locked up for up to a week can cause issues of its own. What if you have to move because of a coming horde? What about the animals natural biological processes and the necessary cleanup? Where can you keep a horse locked up that where you can guarantee it won’t escape, break free, etc.?
Additionally, there is no guarantee that even after five, ten, or even 100 days that your pet is guaranteed infection free. All creatures have different resistances to infections. Your chihuahua may be naturally immune to the zombie bacteria, but can still pass it on if he bites you. The only way to guarantee your safety from your pet is to put it down, no matter how difficult the decision.
To be blunt, it’s you or them. In a war against the zombification of all humanity your pet may become collateral damage. It’s sad, it’s difficult to come to terms with, it’s your only guarantee for safety.
In the war against zombies, animals are often caught in the middle. Many people are forced to abandon their pets when they go on the run. Even more are turned and have no recollection of their family and friends, much less their pets.
While some animals are trained to help humanity against the zombie threats, many are left to fend for themselves and have been known to become a danger in themselves. Feral packs of both dogs, cats, and even escaped zoo animals have been known to roam urban wastelands after an outbreak.
For these reasons, we recommend that if you are a pet owner and you realize that an outbreak is occurring, please do something about your pets. They will not likely be able to make it through the outbreak alive, and may even become a danger to you and your survival group. We know it’s difficult, but it may become necessary.
