Basic Survival

1. Stay Calm, if you loose your head now, you might just lose your head!
2. Remember, most Zombies are slow, you can probably get away if you follow a few simple rules.
3. There are a few important things to have with you now, like food, water, weapons, ammunition and a good flashlight.
4. If possible, try to secure your location. Shopping malls are a bad idea because of all the entrances, but you want a handy supply of the things you'll need at your disposal, raiding parties to get supplies can be mounted, but only if you can secure your location.
5. In areas that the population is heavy, the infestation will be heavy as a side effect, a cabin in the woods sounds pretty good about now doesn't it?
6. Do what you can to barricade every entrance, and for pete's sake, stay put.
7. Always have an exit strategy.
8. I don't care if she used to be your girlfriend, or if he was your best friend, if they're bitten or killed by zombies, the only way you'll see them again is as zombies, save yourself the pain, and put a slug in their head now.
9. Be as patient as possible, waiting for rescue, but start making your long term plans for survival now.


Also, avoid common mistakes like:

* Using a vehicle, which you don't have keys for, as a safe haven.
* Leaving simple weapons, like machete's and baseball bats out where the Zombies might find them.
* Teaching Zombies things that might be detrimental to you, like the use of firearms
* Giving your only gun to the dude who's lossing his marbles
* Hiding in the basment, but leaving your supplies on te kitchen counter
* Using the elevator in a Zombie infested building
* Fighting with your fellow survivors about little things, after all, we're all in this together!
