Back after a Z-Day false start!

Before I get into my latest topic on how to survive a Zombie Apocalypse, let me first explain the long gap between posts.

A few weeks ago I was in the middle of a zombie movie double-header (28 days later and Resident Evil), trying to learn some new fighting tactics, when all of the sudden I heard some noises outside. Grabbing my machete, I went outside to investigate. Down the alley I noticed a couple figures in tattered clothes rummaging through my neighbor's trash cans. Did Z-Day start 3 years too early, or was this just another sign of a bad economy?!?! I didn't stick around long enough to find out (Survival Tip #1 - When in doubt, run!). In no time I was back inside, locked all my doors and windows, and kept a low profile for a few weeks. Until recently I was afraid to even turn on lights in my house, afraid that the zombies might see me. Eventually, I got up the courage to turn on the News and noticed that everything still appears to be "normal". So, here I am again, blogging for you hopeful Zombie Apocalypse survivalists. That brings me to today's topic...

Surviving Zombies in a Cold, Snowy Climate:

If you live somewhere that gets really cold and frequently gets snow, are you safer than those people in dry, warmer climates? In my opinion, you're absolutely safer. How many times have you slipped on the ice or snow? Lots, right? Now imagine you're a zombie who probably lacks the mental capacity to identify slippery spots on the ground. Great, now you probably see where I'm going. These helpful tips can help you survive a zombie attack in the snow:

1) Don't run in a straight line. Serpentine, serpentine, serpentine!!! Zombies are more likely to slip when you make frequent twists and turns.

2) Protect your house by spraying water on your driveway and sidewalks. The zombies will almost certainly fall when coming up to your door, and then you can move in for the kill. (You might want to warn your neighbors about this one... if any are still alive!).

3) Wear crampons on your boots. You'll have much better traction and will be able to easily outrun the zombies. Additionally, you'll need them to run up quickly on downed zombies so you can finish them off.

That's all I have for now. I think I'll watch Dead Snow to learn some additional tactics. Although, I can already tell you that I disagree with using a chainsaw in the snow. What kind of advice is that?! If you slip, there goes your leg, or worse! That just proves that you can't get all of your tactics from the movies...
