Be Mentally Ready

Being in a zombie world you will face many gruesome paths and people, you will also have experienced many deaths and important people you have lost. You need to let go of that though and move forward you cant have that dragging you down but let it bring you up and let it drive you forward. Having lost somebody in a zombie world will be hard and horrific but just know you will see them again in your afterlife. Also you need to prepare your mind for the disgusting thing you will see like dead body, bloody zombies,zombies eating people alive, people killing themselves and anything else. So be prepared and have a handy barf bag.      

Having The Right Gear

When being in a zombie infested world it is possible for you to run in to and have confrontation with a zombie so having proper gear to fight off or protect yourself is necessary.You should always be covered head to toe when fighting zombies because the slightest scratch or bite will leave you being infected and no longer a helpful survivor. Clothes  wise you should wear jeans/combat pants A long sleeved shirt and gloves, combat boots, and a bandanna around your neck, but over your clothes its smart to have amour in case you are attacked and since they don't make zombie proof amour there are lots of stuff you can wear instead like; Bullet proof vest and leggings, also shin guards work and if you cant find anything football pads would even work in some areas Riot gear is probably perfect so good luck finding that. So just remember be covered and protected because zombies will stop art nothing to have your soft tasty flesh.

Step Three- Weapons

Having weapons is one of the most important things, because being in a zombie infested world becomes brutal and filled with death. So having a nice good weapon makes things feel a little safer. When looking for a good weapon Its good too have a gun but remember has days go on in the zombie world your bullet count will be running pretty low, so having a good sturdy close combat weapon is perfect to have with your gun. There's so many different close quarter weapons just depending on preference like there's blunt weapon and bladed weapons. A good blunt weapon would be a metal baseball bat, but blunt weapons are easy to obtain, heck a two by four could probably kill some zombies. A good bladed weapon would be a sharp katana because its one of the sharpest blades you can get. Now close combat weapons also have the disadvantage when getting tired or surrounded. Having a couple reliable guns is necessary. My best advice is two have your favorite hand gun and maybe a shotgun or AR depending on what you like more. Make sure you have great supplies of ammo because enough is never enough.

Step Two- Safe Haven

Now that you have a nice food supply and a fast escape plan from the fast approaching end of days. So now you need a safe Haven, stocked up, zombie proof safe haven. To have a good safe haven you must have at least 100 acres of land. Having a lake and abundant amount of trees for cover. You also want your land to be in a large discrete location. On your land you will want at least three things of crops and a green house for a garden. You will need and abundant source of water so the lake and setting up water catchers around your land and having a purifier are great investments. Your house needs to be two stories and have a basement built out of concrete. Now what you have in your house and the way it is set up is important you want a heavy front and back door you want an emergency exit from the roof and the basement so you never can be trapped by zombies. In your house the basement need too hold your food/medical supplies your main floor can have your luxuries that way you don't loose your mind in the zombie invested apocalyptic world, by the front door there should be your fast acting shelf. On your shelf you need A rifle and a shotgun that way your prepared for anything knocking on your door. On the second floor you should have a gun/ammunition supply. On the outside of your land should be traps many traps and a big solid fence with some lookout post/ gate. Also on your land you need dugout spots that have extra supplies just in case you get taken over by zombies/bandits. This is the perfect safe zone but all this would be very expensive. Good luck.

Getting Started!

         So when the Zombie apocalypse happens which it will dont be running to me or other preppers for help. Preppers are people who are prepareing for the end of the world, when your all alone cause you werent ready and getting eatin alive and becoming a zombie your going to wish you wouldve known some of this handy info I will be giving. So ill will tell you how to get started before the apoclypse happens.

FOOD
        A great way too get started is to just buy some jars/containers etc. and fill these with rice, can food, and some long lasting packaged food. Its always great to have a good supply of emergency food, but you can never have enough, because when the apocalypse starts most food places or stores in general will give out, and there will be huge of groups of people rushing to these places when it happens which will make that a great buffet spot for zombies and making it more likely for u to get suck or robbed. Its better just have food already.

ESCAPE PLAN
       When prepping you always need an escape plan from where every you are to a more Deseret and isolated area this giving you an opportunity to have a safe haven depending on where you pick your location. Creating a safe escape route is super important because when the apocalypse breaks loose all major roads/highways will either be shut down or jammed up with millions of people. So the best way to make an escape plan is too get a map of your city/state and find the best possible route that takes you away from major roads and can lead to your safe haven. Also when having an escape plan you need an vehicle and bug out bags and suppleys have these ready before that way your ready to leave with in minutes before the zombie infection happens. Having this head start will give a big edge on the people who arent ready which people who arent ready are most likely going to be zombies or bandits/murders. This two tips should get you started and there will many more to come.
