Zombie Apocalypse Survival Guide

[fallingcrow]

Alright so I haven't been online for some time now ..... full time work does take it out of you. But for all the people in Canberra I wanted to post this, honestly just to have a laugh. This is not my own work and it was done by a lady that I used to go to school with. I guess it does kind of fit into the whole zombie thing at the end of the day

Rationale

In order to complete this blog I would like to discuss what some of the issues and ideas were. This blog was created for a university assignment in relation to network worked media and production.The main idea of this assignment was to create a blog that interested people whilst attempting to use HTML and other online tools. My idea was to create a blog about a Zombie Apocalypse Survival Guide as many people now days believe that it will happen sooner or later. The idea itself was a brilliant one and easy to think of thanks to my gamer of a partner, however I believe that I didn't write brilliantly as it could of been done. In the blog I attempted to write about many subjects however I believe that the best one that I wrote about was the zombie housing. 

I did this blog as it had been a question that I have been asking myself for several weeks. Although the page could of been better written I did find the required information very quickly.The information was easy to write about as there have been many shows and books in relation to it. As there are many websites in relation to the topic I was not only able to write about and show these housing ideas but I was also able to reference the material. This blog post has been most shared and liked so far (even though I have all of four people following me). 

This blog post did have some downside. Most of the content was copied all over the internet which made it difficult to find new and innovated ideas about zombie or doomsday prep-housing. Due to this I did have to do some research which for me involved watching a lot of movies and series. I also did some practical tests like camping out in the suburbs (which turned out to be really painful). 

I am very happy with the outcome of this blog even though I didn't finish it and that I didn't change much of the HTML scripting. If I was to do this blog again I believe that I would keep the subject but change the way the webpage was displayed and written. I believe that this blog was a great start to understanding social networking and editing webpages, even though there is a lot more that can be improved with it.

FIRST AID

Yeah I know what you are thinking. Why the hell am I putting stuff about first aid?

First aid is important no matter if it is at the end of the world or currently.

First aid will not only assist you but others as well. However it will also give you other ideas that you can use to assist you in a life threatening situation if you do not have any first aid supplys with you. (IE use spider webs to assist in stopping blood flow)

Check out the following link for courses in Australia that you can attend. I do recomend that you do the senior first aid

Zombie Guide

So throughout this blog we have talked about surviving the apending zombie zoom (i am well aware that I have continued to get distracted when doing this though). Things that we have talked about include both malee and firearm/explosive weapons, housing, food and same sex (apparently I was in a overly supportive mood that night). However there are still many things that one must talk about in order for people to survive in the apending doom. Such things include first aid, transport, raising children at the world's end and of course hunting and gathering. Due to this I would like to put the last three to four posts to be about that before ending this blog.

Doomsday Preppers

The above video is about doomsday preppers in America. I know there are many people out there that are most likely thinking about how to prepare not only in weapons, housing and transport but as well as food. Lets face it when the shit hits the fan you can bett no matter what there will be no food left in the stores. Sure I know what you are thinking, we can just go steal it from other people. But lets face it you will be unable to steal it as you will most likely get eaten or bitten by zombies and murdered by humans. Maybe when enough of the human race dies down you might then be able to steal the said food but I honestly would rather be prepared.

Here are a list of places that you can use to get bulk bought food. The only other thing is find a place with fresh flowing water and a nice patch of dirt to try and grow your food

  ABF

 Costco

If all else fails and you are unable to find a piece of land with flowing water you can always try a bulk water suppiler

While I was driving home the other night I had a really odd thought. Well I guess not that odd considering what this blog is about so it was on my mind to some degree. The question that continues to pop into my head is do zombies need air in order to survive. The thing is there are so many types of zombies and so many ways they were created so we really just cant assume that there will be just one type. In many stories they say that they are the walking dead and do not require to breath, and hence they are able to survie in the water. However there are other zombies that are just mutated human and I am asuming that they are required to breath, but apparently their bodies can still spread the virus. So my question is this. If all life forms are required to breath air to some extent how do the walking dead not only continue to move (since they would have to have some air flow in order to make their brain function even at the most basic of ways) but not completly die when they are walking in the water. So does the walking dead theory really work or are they just brain dead? The other thing is how long would they last if their bodies continued to decomposed? I dont believe that zombies are just re-animated dead. Anyway the reason why I am posting this is more just to see what other people think. Also please not that the photo is not mine and it can be found on the following link

I decided to use this clip from FPSRussia as being in Australia I am unable to show you or even tell you what would be my best choice for arms are. This clip is important as he not only tells you why the guns that he has chosen would be a good choice but he also shows you what they can do. Please note that this clip is not my own and if you would like to watch more of FPSRussia's videos please go to his website. This video clip will make you laugh as well as really think about what you will need to use when the zombies attack.  I would also like to note that unless you have a large amount of ammo and explosives guns will be fairly useless for you as they will always run out of rounds.

Zombie Twilight !!!

So if you have not heard the zombie craze that is currently hitting the world might slowly dissolve due to the following movie clip. The following clip is the official trailer for the movie call Warm Bodies, which they are claiming to be the new Twilight. So if it does go as well as Twilight I suspect that the zombie craze will not last much longer. I wanted to talk about this movie as it has some interesting ideas about zombies. 

1. If you put zombie blood on a non infected human they will not be noticed by zombies (assuming that said person is acting like a zombie)

2. Zombies can evolve. I have to say I do believe that zombies will evolve over time (unless they eat everyone on earth including themselves) however I don't know if like the movie they will change back to human like creatures that are immune to the virus or if they will get worse with the change. 

3. Zombies can think! Okay we are not talking about a massive communication within the hoard but honestly I want to know if they have some kind of thoughts other then food .... but then again after all the movies and books I would have to assume no they do not.

4. Do zombies hearts still work? I am not talking about falling in love here, but we all know in order for our bodies to function our heart must be beating. In many other films the zombies heart does not work which is why they can go into water and survive. Honestly I believe that their hearts would still have to be beating the rotten blood in order to function the basic walking and eating motion.

So despite the fact that there are many new ideas and unanswered questions this movie, I must say that it was still enjoyable to watch. I am not sure if the thousands of kids will start to believe that this is possible now but it is still a good watch. However if you seen the series Skins you may find it hard to watch Nicholas Hoult in a serious role. If you are unsure to whom or what I am talking about check out the following two trails. You may recognize Nicholas from "About A boy"

The following clip is the official trailer for the UK series call SKINS which has Nicholas Hoult in it

The following clip is the trailer for About a Boy

I am starting to think that I might need to change the name of this blog as lately I have not been even talking about surviving the zombie attacks but rather just posting some interesting movies. Well in order to resolve this issue I am posting about the following book

This book is a brilliant survival guide to the forthcoming future. If you look online for this book you will find that many people are talking about it. If you would like to buy this book please click the image and it will redirect you to the THINKGEEK site. Max Brooks did a brilliant job on this book as he has discuss all issues related to zombies including what we need to worry about and what can cause people to become zombies. He discusses all kinds of weapons and survival tactics.

Wow I found this today on another persons blog. I am well aware of the fact that I am not really writing zombie survival anymore but I do think that this is really cute

Zombie Housing

Okay so lets talk about living arrangements when the zombies hit. Lets face it we all would like to have a bunker under the ground that is fitted out to the shit house. But it is never going to happen unless you can currently afford it or have land of your own and want to start digging here and now.

Some ideas will work better than other and some will not work at all.

Tents- Okay so tents are a great idea but seriously what the hell are they going to do when you are attempting to hide and protect yourself in the middle of the night against zombies. Not only do they not offer any protection, they will allow your noises to be heard (if you can hear the rabbit outside munching on grass then I’m pretty certain that the zombie will hear your snoring).

Apartments – Some apartments are a good idea however you will always have to deal with the other occupants in the facility. This will be really annoying if you are in the middle of the city and the complex is fairly large. Despite that though there are some plus sides. For instance you will be close to all the food stores and being that there are plenty of other occupants in the building (assuming you are ready to fight them off) you can ramage through there cupboards if they are not longer human. If the building has been emptied you may be able to protect yourself better and live on a higher floor which would allow you more freedom. However be aware that disposing of all current zombies will be a pain in the arse and a lot of work .

suburbs- Generally I am not a fan of suburbs. They don’t have a lot of security and let’s face it there are some fucken creepy people out there. Don’t get me wrong there are some plus sides, being that you can group together with other people in the community but the other problem is that no matter what there will always bloody hordes of zombies. Yes I know there will also be in the city as well, but at least with the city there are more places to hide and more products to steal. The one good thing with suburbs is that if you have set up your house to be self sufficient it will help you in the long run to continue to live, but good luck with the security of the property.

Farms – So for anyone that has watched walking dead we would all know that a self sufficient farm is one of the best opinions around when it comes to the zombie’s invasion. Sure not everything is worked out but at least if you are far enough from a town there will be less zombies to deal with. Other things that are important to remember is that you may not run of the cities power grid which once again places you in a terrific stop. You can also grow our own food as well as support animals which will help with meat, dairy, wool and etc. Remember that if you are in Australia if you have a farm of a certain size you can store guns on the property.

The following website has some brilliant ideas about housing and surviving in the long run. Some of these ideas are actually cheap to create and lets you still have a great home.

Alright I promise that this is the last clip of the day. I believe that it is a creative common short film created by a fan of Walking Dead. Its pretty good although I cant tell if they decided to go with this fans idea with the walking dead arcade game or if the fan stole it. Regardless of this fact or not it is still a really awesome cartoon. It is of course somewhat gory like all walking dead cartoons and clips should be

[fallingcrow]

I spotted this little short film today. Its not really about zombie survival but I thought that it was really good and somewhat unexpected

So being bored out of my brain while waiting for my partner to finish work has left me in a bit of a state. However I found this while rumerging around on the internet I came across this little series. Check out the trailer and see if you like it or not 

[fallingcrow]

So I was looking around for some movie with a creative common licence in order to place onto the blog. I found a trailer for the movie called DECAY which was created by a bunch of physics PhD students in a LHC (large Hadron Collider). I cannot tell you if it any good or not, however if you like the trailer then you can watch the full movie and get further information on the cast and movie using the following link
