Have a Plan.

I know, I know.  Zombieland says that rule #2 is the double-tap.  That’s good in a scrap, but you need to have a plan more than that.  After all, ammo runs out – twice as fast if you’re double-tapping every time.

Having a plan is far more important.  Consider what you’d do if there was a class 1 outbreak in your area.  What about a class 3 outbreak?  What if you were separated from your loved ones, when notice of the outbreak came?  For most of us, reuniting with them would suddenly become the top priority.  How would you get there?  How would you avoid or go through hordes between you and your destination?  What about when you got there?  What’s your plan – hole up, or fight your way out?  What are the holes or weaknesses in your plan?

This is a two-part post.  Tomorrow, I’ll tell you my plan, and see if it raises some talking points.

1. Cardio

Yes, this is pretty much stolen directly from the latest zombie film “Zombieland.”  Don’t knock good advice.  In any class 3 or class 4 outbreak, it will eventually come down to you and your feet against a horde and theirs.  Cars run out of petrol, and guns run out of ammunition.  Just like any fight, the best way to win against a zombie is by 50 meters or more in front.
