Hey Minions! Please welcome my friend James from Survival Punk! Here he tells us some real-world methods for making it through the inevitable zombie apocalypse. When you’re done with this article, go check out survivalpunk.com for more down-to-earth survival topics, gear reviews, and more!

Today I’m going to have a little fun. My goal today is to share some tactics to implore in preparing to survive a zombie apocalypse. But you say,  “James zombies aren’t real.” Well yes I know this but zombies are fun to think about. In fact zombies was a gateway drug into prepping for me. My life long affair with post apocalyptic and zombie movies. Something about them always drew me in. Other horror movies could not grab my attention. Zombies are a thinking mans monster. If you are a Tokyo pedestrian during a Godzilla rampage, well you’re screwed. Same thing with most other monsters. With zombies, though, the scenarios are always about people trying to survive. Zombies are slow moving and stupid with an all consuming desire to eat. We won’t delve into in this post but they represent many metaphors I will chat about over beers.

After years of watching the movies and thinking about what I would do I eventually stumbled onto a certain internet forum about zombie survival and went down the rabbit hole of survivalisim. I soon realized many of my “plans” were completely idiotic. Now that I know better I can revise those early plans. Today I’ll share some tips with you on how you can survive a real zombie apocalypse.

Zombie Survival Series: Arm Yourself!

Zombie Survival

Hello Minions. This evening we continue our Zombie Survival Series so that when it all goes down, the only ones left will be us. Then we can rebuild society as it should be, with a lot more jet packs and a lot less Burger King.

As we prepare for the inevitable holocaust, we must ensure that the gear we carry is useful, trustworthy, and as lethal as possible. Whether your attacker is reanimated dead or a run of the mill street thug, if it threatens you or your family, it needs to be put down.

Tonight we discuss the ultimate survival weapon for almost any situation. Tonight we discuss…

Zombie Survival Series: Get Ready

Good evening Minions. Today we begin what I hope will be an ongoing discussion on survival during the zombie apocalypse. You see, the apocalypse is coming and it is not going to be pleasant. How do I know that the dead are going to rise?

It’s because they always do.

Scary Movie Night: The Walking Dead

Walking Dead Hmmm. Two zombie related posts in one week? Must have been someone I ate. (Cue thunderclap and maniacal laughter.) Ah, my beloved Minions, I just can’t wait till I start doing videos and podcasts; I’ll be so funny you’ll laugh yourself to death! Ok, enough with the puns. It’s just been one of those days. And I know that our subject tonight is not a movie and is in fact a television show. I know this. But it’s also scary as hell and the third season is about to start and if you hurry you can get all caught up in time for the season premiere. (more…)

Summer Reading: World War Z

World War Z

Good evening Minions. Our favorite season approaches. Soon the evenings will be cool and the air will carry the scent of burning leaves and pumpkin spice. However, Autumn does not arrive until September 22nd. Therefore you still have time to finish a book or two for Summer Reading. Tonight’s selection is World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks.

Awesome Candle Holders

So I was just wasting time on the web, when I came across these:

Zombie candle holders!

These cool things cast zombified shadows wherever you put them. I think that’s pretty neat!

Zombie Family Car Stickers!

I’ll admit I always thought the whole family sticker thing was pretty cheesy. Then came that episode of Dexter when the Trinity Killer used them to profile the family and kidnap and attempt to murder their son. So, there are definitely reasons why you might not want them.

But what does it matter it you are already dead? That’s right, it doesn’t!

For the dead among us I present to you Zombie Family Car Stickers!
Zombie Family Stickers

These things are awesome! Did I mention that I just moved into a new neighborhood and haven’t yet figured out how to impress the neighbors? I think I might have a solution for that little problem.
