weapons

My two zombie novels:

Most of us have asked ourselves how we would survive a zombie apocalypse. Here’s my survival plan:

1. People
Other people are going to be the key to your survival. You can’t do everything yourself. We all need help sometimes.

As well as loved ones, I’d recruit a Doctor/Nurse, a Weapons Expert, a Logistics Professional, a Farmer and plenty of people who can take care of themselves and others in a fight.

2. Weapons
In the UK guns are a rarity, plus they have the problem of needing ammunition. Much better to go for a weapon such as baseball bat, cricket bat, crowbar, or something similar. Bow and arrows are great for taking out zombies at a distance, but no good in close quarters.

3. Food, Water/Drinks, Petrol & Other Resources
A good supply of food, water/drinks, petrol and other items (to both use and trade) are essential. I’d probably loot a stocked heavy goods vehicle that was originally destined for a supermarket. I’d focus on tins and other ambient goods. I’d also collect medications/medical supplies at every given opportunity.

4. Medications
As a Type 1 Diabetic I’d need to find insulin regularly. This would be the biggest risk, more than the zombies. Without insulin, I would die. In the long term, I’d probably have to learn how to extract insulin from pigs and other animals, like they used to do for diabetics years ago.

I’d set up my base near several sources of food, water/drinks, petrol stations, pharmacies, etc.
