The Zombie Apocalypse || How to Actually Survive a Global Outbreak

The most dangerous factor in a zombie apocalypse (or any apocalypse) is fear. Fighting the zombies is pretty straightforward. Dealing with the collapsed goods and services and learning how to survive by your own means is the real challenge.

does all this experience come from the movies and series or from personal experience?

[@TealWolf26]

@Age of Doom Actually somewhat from personal experience, yes. The pandemic taught me that mild inconveniences cause people to go bonkers, rip off the silk handcuffs that keep us civil and start free-for-all looting. Because of toilet paper. What if the water system goes down for a week? The electrical grid? Food can't be delivered to the grocery stores? Just extrapolate outwards for a "real" apocalypse and it's not a pretty picture. What's the phrase? "Every society is three meals away from chaos?"

[@giventoringybanez5799]

Going at the very top of a building in a zombie apocalypse is actually a bad idea since your only escape logically is blocked, so basically you just trapped yourself so I suggest you find a near the ground level building or in a building with just a little bit of height so that you can have a overview and also barracade some exits but not all of them just the obvious ones where some people and zombies would probably wander around in, so that you have a emergency escape exit and well-built safehouse

[@shanejones4751]

3 floors max with at least 4 exits

Exactly. I honestly don’t think zombies could ever be an issue because the build up would be too slow. Police, gun owners (both illegal and legal), and the military once they get word of what’s happening can respond and start taking out large chunks of the population who are zombies very quickly and get ahead of things.

As someone who lives in a tropical country side near a mountain, I think my odds of surviving a zombie apocalypse is higher. I can just go up on the mountain together with my relatives and build a small community there. We can grow crops in order to be self-sufficient. The mountain itself and vegetation will serve as a natural barrier against the zombies. Random stragglers that was able to wander on the mountains by chance be easily dealt with. Being on a densely populated city is a nightmare for this kind of apocalypse.

As a storm drainage worker, the sewage, or underground rain water lines, may be filled with Co2, or any Lower Explosive Limit gases. There's also blind drops, could even be multiple feet down, pipe size changes (Ran lines that go from 6 inches to 8 ft), debris, wild animals. So if people need to go in those underground systems, to be careful, mind what their body is telling them. Aa gas monitor helps a lot along with a flashlight.

The most important question in a zombie apocalypse scenario is this : When a body becomes reanimated, does the process of decomposition continue, or does it stop? If it continues, within a short span of time most would simply rot until they fell into a pile of bones and goo. In hotter areas they would rot much more quickly, where it was cold a bit slower, but still within months they too would rot to the point where they were no longer a threat. If the process of decomposition stops then the threat is going to continue for much longer. You touched on some of these points.

If they're more "living zombies" ala rage virus from 28 Days Later, then there's also dehydration and starvation.

depends on which type of zombie; if we're talking Zombie Survival Guide type (and that's the only one I recognize), the zombie virus sort of preserves the body to some extent. the "life span" of a zombie in that case would be about 2-5 yrs.

I have reading material and enough candles/glow sticks to last a year at least. I don't know why everyone loads up the car just so they can get stuck in traffic. Stay in your comfortable home and get friendly with your neighbors. I feel like the one thing I should have is a drone. That would have been ideal for feeding Andy in Dawn of the dead.

I really enjoyed this video, and i imagine most people who enjoyed this video want to know how a more "down to earth" zombie experience would be, theres this survival game called "project zomboid" which, instead of its peers, actually shows how a regular citizen would "survive" in a zombie apocalipse, its brutally hard (every run starts with "this is how you died") but its the most accurate out of them all, for example, for most players using guns is rather worthless, due to them attracting way more zombies than you can fend off, its truly a very accurate experience to what would happen in real life.

Get machetes or bows, guns are way too loud and one shot will attract a lot more zombies to your location. Do not try to go to a gun shop, that place will be overrun fast, go to your local Walmart and grab every knife/sword you can get. Grab all the water you can, most people will think about food and grab all the food they can find. WATER IS MORE IMPORTANT. Do not try to survive with a large group of people, that means you will have to share all your resources evenly, you have a better chance surviving alone or with 2-3 others max!

[@ZR-cj2fm]

1. Avoid highly populated areas, this is a given 2. Don't go to major grocery stores, it'll be a bloodbath, try to instead go to stores that have snack foods but are not primarily grocers, they are less likely to be instantly torn apart and crowded 3. The cold is your friend. In an actual zombie apocalypse scenario, the infected/undead will not be able to handle freezing temperatures, leading to frostbite, their limbs freezing up, and braindeath. If you live in the U.S. or Europe/Continental Asia, head north. If you live in South America or Africa, head south. If you live on an island with confirmed infected, find a boat, bring plenty of drinking water and get ready to fish. Those are my top 3 tips

Many times, anxiety or concern is a result of sin, and the cure is to deal with the sin. Psalm 32:1-5 says that the person whose sin is forgiven is blessed, and the heavy weight of guilt is taken away when sins are confessed. Is a broken relationship creating anxiety? Try to make peace (2 Corinthians 13:11). Is fear of the unknown leading to anxiety? Turn the situation over to the God who knows everything and is in control of it all (Psalm 68:20). Are overwhelming circumstances causing anxiety? Have faith in God. When the disciples became distressed in a storm, Jesus first rebuked their lack of faith, then rebuked the wind and the waves (Matthew 8:23-27). As long as we are with Jesus, there is nothing to fear.

Still even with those abilities i was limited in what I can do, so nightmare were still nightmares.

I highly recommend keeping a dream journal, this will help a lot with remembering dreams.

@@alcblazee7271 Keep a dreal journal and write down the date of your dreams. Look for things that tend to happen in your dreams and take note of them. These are called dream signs and are great for reality checks. Dream journaling is also great for remembering more dreams and you'll even notice your dreams becoming more vivid. A reality check is where you ask yourself "am I dreaming" and test to see if you're dreaming while fully self aware. Another great question to ask yourself is "how did I get here" and retracing your steps. The check itself can be any number of things like plugging your nose to see if you can breathe, reading or looking at the time and looking away to see if it changes, ect. Some are more reliable than others. Some examples of less/unreliable reality checks are the classic "pinch me I must be dreaming" because you can feel being pinched and pain as well, and the finger through palm trick is also pretty unreliable. Often times people will tell you to count your fingers or look at your hands, in my experience these work sometimes but not in most cases. Choose at least 3 reality checks to practice during the day, even have an object, word place, anything that you can use to remind you to do reality checks at least a few times a day. When doing a reality check be sure to take the questions seriously and do them with your full self awareness otherwise it's unlikely to really do anything. Techniques are optional and what techniques work best for others may not work best for you. Everyone's different. Meditation is also optional though it can help you allot. Lastly, there's a big misinformation problem with lucid dreaming. Misinformation is all over the internet but it's most prevalent in places like tiktok and the "shifting" community. Explore lucid dreaming is also a pretty bad source. Not saying all of his information is wrong, but mostly surface level. He's also used bots to grow his channel which is why no other lucid dreaming channel is near that level. Some good lucid dreaming channels are tipharot, giz edwards and lucid dream portal. The time it takes to have a lucid dream is different for everyone but it should take no less than a year. Sorry if this is information overload

If you’re not experienced, wandering off in the snow looking is a terrible idea. And all of this is if you can make it up here at all. The road system is pretty limited and I highly doubt that anyone would be able to make it all the way up the Alcan Highway through Canada to Alaska without the road being blocked in at least one spot.

Several weeks after death - nails and teeth fall out. 1 month after death - the body starts to liquify.

Most zombie scenarios tend to gloss over how zombies stick around past the first few weeks. Assuming the most plausible classic irrational zombies without magic they need sustenance somehow, and they can't stockpile and organize rations, much less produce their own. If they rely on feeding on humans (and maybe the occasional animal), then the supply will very quickly run out either way, and most of the epidemic should burn itself out within a few weeks long before sustainable long-term survival becomes an issue. So from that logic, the most reliable no-nonsense strategy would probably just be to barricade yourself in as soon as you have a few weeks of basic supplies available.

Learn basic survival and medical skills, as well as basic combat, hunting/trapping, fishing and foraging for things in your general area. Books are good too in case the web is unavailable. Planning ahead on supplies is good too. You don't have to be a "prepper" and have stockpiles of stuff, but sometimes simple things work. For instance, instead of storing hundreds of gallons of water, keep several types of water purification. If you get a firearm, get plenty of ammo, and learn how to shoot it and practice so you can shoot it well. Lock it up when you are not using it.

It depends on what type of zombie you're looking at

The walking dead would be easy to survive, imo.

Can you do one about surviving the non-undead zombies?

[@ishaanparthab4549]

Recruiting people is the best way to survive. If you have a military goal and being able to create a community that’s beneficial, you should be fine. Helicopters are very important if you find a source of fuel.

I want Ellis, Zoey, Coach & Nick to be my survivors teammates.

This is a fun topic but I have to disagree about a high rise as an optimal location. I think the fires would likely start quite early in such a scenario. Still a fun video.

There’s two kinds of people when it comes to a zombie apocalypse. There’s those that want to fight and survive. Then there’s those that want to see how much heinous, disgusting stuff they can do when there’s no law.

I like the depiction of the zombie apocalypse from the BOOK World War Z because it was realistic and the movie was just a horrible twisted creation

[@quigglebert]

Makes the most sense, anything that takes over a whole body isn't going to have much in the way of coordination. That said, I still have my copies of ZSG and WWZ

"realistic": well, we are speaking about something that can walk after its heart and lungs have stopped working. Biologically speaking, it's totally nuts. A tooth fairies invasion is more plausible

@@MrABahn look up zombie ants, it's the most likely horror concept to ever potentially happen

@@quigglebert yes, but the infected ants are still living: they are not rotten corpses roaming the land against every law of biology
