1- You are not safe. EVER.
2- Cardio- Be able to run for an extended period of time
.
3- Always carry a minimum of 2 reliable, lethal weapons (I can not stress "ALWAYS" enough)
4- Better safe than stupid (example- use your head; cut off theirs!)
5- Know where you will be sleeping before the sun sets. Be prepared to move out before daybreak.
6- Travel light- No dead weight (this goes for both objects you carry and people you're with. If someone can't pull their own, ditch them)
7- Save one bullet (do I need to elaborate?)
8- Dress smart (Tight-fitting, comfortable clothing, with large, accessible pockets, and preferably velcro-sneakers)
9- Do(n't) be a hero
10- Only pull the trigger if you're ok with every ghoul within hearing-distance knowing exactly where dinner is.
11- Stay nourished and healthy (if you're living off canned food, make sure to take multi-vitamins! And remember, if you get sick, there's no hospital to treat you)(and remember, always use a condom! You really don't want herpes during a zombie apocalypse)
12- Drive safe! (And by that of course I mean drive in a hummer or a large SUV with bars welded to all the windows, and if possible an escape hatch in the roof)
13- If you can avoid it, then do.
14- Never, ever, ever, under any circumstances shall you EVER go anywhere alone (yes, this includes the bathroom)(void if everyone you've ever known/loved is a zombie)
15- Enjoy the little things.
16- Your mind is your most powerful weapon. Think, preferably outside the box (ex- need meds but the hospitals are all filled with Zack? Go to the vet/a pet store!)
17- Leave no doubt- know your way out!
18- Know your environment, use it to your advantage.
19- Tread carefully (watch where you're going and NEVER walk backwards)
20- never give up
21- Calculus (Example- it takes you .75 seconds to hit a zombie in the head with a baseball bat and then prepare to strike again. If a zombie is withing 3 feet of you you can't wind up for a successful kiss-swing. It takes a zombie 3 seconds to walk 2 feet. The situation: you have 5 zombies walking towards you. Before you even prepare your first strike, look at the distance between each of them and determine if it will be possible for one of them to get within 3 feet of you while you dispatch the others. Plan out your kill order and know when you're going to need to back up (but remember rule 19!))
22- 1 shot, 1 kill (slow is smooth, smooth is fast)
