Zombie Apocalypse : GENESIS

Every apocalypse has an onset and the Zombie Apocalypse is no different.  In movies often the question of "How did it all start?" is unanswered or vague. 

 ---------------------What could start the Zombie Apocalypse? --------------

 Is it a supernatural occurrence?  Chemical Warfare?  But what can reanimate DEAD bodies?  It would have to be some drug or serum produced somewhere, right? 

 Or maybe a God is responsible for this event and he is trying to cleanse the Earth (i.e. possibly "The Great Flood" in The Bible where Noah saves two of every animal and his family on the Ark)?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 In the beginning, though, the amount of time you have to react to this phenomenon depends heavily on your location at the time.  Obviously the farther you are from clusters of population the safer you are in the beginning of the zombie outbreak.  A private acreage far from town is a great starting spot.  So is really any house  separated from towns for about 8-10 miles in each direction.  In a setting like this, a few neighbors is a GOOD thing because they are in the same boat as you (and are most likely still Living).  In some settings, such as a city or borough, neighbors are a BAD thing (because of how fast the "infection" or whatever is reanimating the dead spreads). 

No matter what setting you are in though, the first few moves you make will always be the most important.

 1.  Round up your close ones.  Family, friends, co-workers.  If you are, like myself, a father then your first move will be to go secure your family.  If you don't have kids, you may want to go meet up with some friends or neighbors to make a team.

2.  Gather supplies.  You are going to need food, canned food preferably.  And weapons.  If you already own guns you are a step ahead of the game.  If you do not own a single gun, then you better go get some!

 3.  "Should I stay or should I go?"  This question is relative to your own situation.  Is there a safe haven that you should make a mad dash too?  Or is the situation so far out of hand, that you must lock down a local building and defend it.  Personally, my situation dictates that Wal-Mart would be the best and most defensible building. 

 I think that a Super Wal-Mart is a great spot to hold down because it has food, bullets, clothes, bathrooms, big trucks, roof access.  There are so many pros to it.  The only thing that is difficult will be Taking Control of The Wal-Mart (coming soon!). 

These are the first 3 steps that you need to take as soon as you realize you are in the Zombie Apocalypse.  Is there anything you think you would do differently? 

Discussion is OPEN.

Introduction

Hello, welcome to my blog The Zombie Apocalypse And You!  Here we will discuss the Zombie Apocalypse in full detail including in-depth strategy on how to survive in any circumstances (up to a certain point; some people have EXCEPTIONALLY bad luck). 

 Through each Blog, when there is a point I would ESPECIALLY appreciate feedback/discussion on, I will highlight that point and surround it with hyphens (i.e. "--- Point A ---").  I think that the Zombie Apocalypse is important enough to break down that we all should be able to speak our minds to see this apocalyptic scenario from every possible angle, so feel free to comment about any points you have pertinent to the particular post.

 I hope to generate lots of discussion on lots of possible scenarios!  This blog should be a lot of fun !
