If I would wake up tomorrow and a zombie apocalypse is happening out side of my door, I would FREAK OUT!!! Who wouldn’t? Personally the first thing I would do is grab all the can goods I have in my pantry, all the medication I might need in the near future, batteries, flash lights, clothes and of course as many weapons I have in my house!! Then I would go to a gas station that is in the middle of nowhere and fill up my vehicle. From there I would head to Death Valley until everything passes by. I imagine a small town with under one hundred people would be a great place to hide until all the zombies die off. What would you do?

The most important thing I can do is have a bug out bag ready, but make it family-sized. A tent. A cooler. Basic firebuilding tools. All organized so I can throw it in the back of my minivan in five minutes. Then have the weapons oiled and ready to roll when the SHTF comes. My biggest problem is fuel. I hate to have large quantities of gasoline near my house…so I always try to keep the cars above half a tank. Enough to get me to the country, where I can pitch a tent and hope everyone else goes somewhere else. That’s the big problem. No matter where you go, others will be there trying to flee the chaos, too. And, once you have enough friends, one of them is going to cough. Then it’s lights out! 🙂
I’ve always been “lockdown and stay.” Not sure it’s the right choice, but I’m lazy like that.
