Zombies hate bacon. It's a fact. That is why they are not living as they have lost the love for bacon. The sheer smell of bacon is enough to drive a zombie away within a 25ft radius. However please be aware as this will attract those people who have wanted signs in all you can eat restaraunts. Use at own risk…

Travel with people slower and fatter than you. You can outrun them if a horde comes and the bigger they are the more horde that will be attracted to them.

Dig a deep hole underground, and seal off the exit at the top. Think of like a fallout shelter. But if it really came to push and pull, and the zombie invasion came suddenly then of course you need to be more prepared to go outside. Take anything sharp you have, knives, razors, cut glass; and pocket it. Blunt weapons- like pipes, baseball bats, 2×4's-Strap them to your back. If you have a iron bat, all the better. Any animals in the house that may make noise, (dogs, cats, etc.) need to be silenced, or released. If you plan on living at home during the onslaught, there are multiple scenarios. First off, turn off all the lights, period. Anything that makes noise must be silenced. Grab a flashlight or candle, and begin to feel around. If you have a fence in the backyard, or a neighbors fence in the immediate area that isn't swarming with zombies, break off the wood and carry it inside to nail the windows shut. Make sure to grab any canned food, and bag it up, in case you have to make a emergency breakout. Eventually, you will run out of food, and you'll have to restock. If this happens, your going to need to peek through a sliver in the window, and survey the scene. If everything looks clear, grab your canned food, your keys, and rush out to your car, with anyone your with. Jump into the car, and floor your way out of the neighborhood. Disregard driving rules, as traffic will probably be nonexistent at this point, unless there are other survivors. The nearest gas station you come across, needs to be surveyed for risk/reward ratio. If the risk is minimal, and you could get into the gas station, and get what you need without encountering too much trouble, break into the gas station and survey all food and supplies. If you are a female, and your trying to escape the onslaught, your better off not taking any risks, and driving until a gas station is available.

If you absolutely have to, arm yourself with a bat and prepare to take action. While your raiding the supplies, it'd be a great time to fill up canisters with gasoline, for the trip. If you have no gas tanks, grab a empty food container, run over the cashier, and add value to the gas pump. Fill up all the containers you can, and stockpile any useful supplies. Take all solid foods, meats, and waters. If your feeling particularly riled about the entire situation, take a few beers. (Drink only one, if your driving) If the electricity is out, you'll have to use alcohol to fuel the car. At this point you can decide on whether to stay in the gas station and wait for help, or find a way to ferment alcohol with sugar, super yeast, and a cleaning bucket. If you decide to progress, your going to have to continue to drive deeper into civilization, for the nearest general supplies store. Don't be afraid to hit the zombies with your car, but don't hit too many, or you may damage the vehicle. Eat, constantly during the entire endeavor. Make sure your sipping on water as well, the fight against the horde of undead can't continue if your thirsty! When you come across the hardware store, it is most likely to be dark, with the doors broken, and zombies pouring in and out of the store. If this is the case, than you need to sneak around the back of the store, or climb in through the roof. If your feeling really risky, and you drive a pickup truck/other large vehicle, and have chance of getting into another automobile in the near future, you could just drive your truck right through the stores opening, but that isn't recommended.

If the case is really this severe, your going to have to find a way to get into the store. This could be forcing open a back door that's clear, breaking a window to get in, whatever you must do. If you make alot of noise, be prepared to run in and get clear of the entrance you made as soon as possible. Stop and listen for a moment, and hear if there is shuffling of feet, and moans. If everything is quiet, turn on your flashlight and look around. If you can't hear, your going to have to take a risk and turn on your flashlight anyway. Hopefully the path will be cleared. You need to make/fight your way to the arms section of the store. Have that bat handy, as your going to need to break glass here. Grab any guns, and all ammunition. Most ammunition comes in boxes, that you should fill into bags. Remember which bullets go into what, however. Now here comes time where you can make a decision. Leave the store, and look for somewhere where there is civilization with your new arms, Jump on top of the shelves, and snipe the zombies off one by one and try to restore power, or commit suicide. I wouldn't recommend the latter, as you could be our last chance! If you decide the first option, your going to need to bear arms and shoot every zombie in the immediate vicinity. Aim for headshots, as these are critical to stop the zombie. If there is a alcohol section in the store, grab a few bottles of beer, and bag them. Near the cash registers there are likely to be lighters, and near the front of the store there are likely to be newspapers. If you find all three, GREAT! Open the beer, roll up some of the crinkled newspaper and stuff it in there. Light the concoction on fire, and throw it at a large group of zombies. (Preferably the opening, they congregate there alot.) Clear out the store, section by section, until the entire place is clear. Your going to need to barricade the store entrance somehow; Either by pushing shelves over the opening, or something of the sort. If you decide with the second option, Your going to need to scan the walls of the building for a door that is marked "EMPLOYEE's ONLY!". Find this door, and if it is locked, (which it most likely is, it's only for employees!) shooting the handle of the door with your firearm. Swing the door open, and check if the situation is clear. If so, proceed and look through the rooms for some sort of control panel.

Try playing with the buttons, and hope the control panel works. If not, you need to find a way back to your car to find a shelter with power.
There is also a possibility, that it has electricity, and is on, serving as shelter to other survivors. If this is the case, you need to communicate to the other survivors to let you in as soon as possible. If zombies are filling up at the front of the door, they aren't likely to let you in, and you probably wouldn't be able to get in anyway. If you have a cell phone, you need to use it to dial 411, and get information on the stores phone number. Place a call, and if they answer, explain your situation, and work something out. If you don't have a cell phone, then you need to reroute yourself to an entrance that isn't flagged with zombies. If they absolutely refuse to let you in, your going to have to drive to another store. assuming they do let you in, rush inside, and re-lock the doors. Greet everyone, and explain your situation to them. Offer to carry a arm, and figure out their already planned procedures. You will be safe there until help can arrive- If there is any at all.(Whatever you do, don't let a senior citizen woman chase after her poodle.);)
If perhaps there is a break in at the store fortress, you will need to take action. Grab arms, and rush out of the store. Eliminate anything that is in your way, or could impede your survival. Get back into your car, and begin to drive out of the parking lot. If anyone else made it out and is in their car, signal them, and follow them. You must find another shelter to stay at, until your safety is finally established. Hopefully you'll survive this onslaught.
Finally, Result Z- If you are bit by a zombie.
If your bit by a zombie, you will become infected within a short time. You have a few hours, but that's it really. You have the choice of killing yourself with a firearm, offering your body as a snack to the hellish ghouls, or a very special option. I call this Option C.
Option C is not normally recommended, because the materials are not normally available.
You need to find a truck. A BIG TRUCK. Think a 18 wheeler. You must have access to drive it, and it must have a storage shelter in the back. Fill up the back of the storage shelter with whatever explosives you may have. Extra points if you hijack a fireworks truck. Stuff as many canisters of oil/gas you can into the back, and cut a hole in between the back of the truck cab seat, and the north wall of the truck. Stick a fuse in there, and have this fuse lead into a oil of gasoline. Your almost finished! Hop into the truck, and start the engine. Drive full speed into a group full of zombies. THIS WILL NOT WORK, IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THE NEXT STEP.

Check the sun visor, there should be a rolled up stick with a twisted end. This is a joint. (I said I don't normally recommend option C!) You must put the joint in your mouth, make some remark like, "I knew that bastard had one left" and light the end of it. Inhale, exhale, and enjoy. Light the fuse in the middle of the group of zombies, and your finished.
That is my zombie survival guide FULL of TIPS. I'm prepared for a zombie apocalypse!:)

Blending in Tip # 2:
Get funky. Don't shower, don't shave. Wear a maggoty-meat necklace and shoulder pads. If you can induce Halitosis and explosive diarrhea, that will really really give you a leg up on the rest of the survivors.

When confronted with Zombies, make sure to memorize page 93 line 7 of you Zombie Survival Guide. Zombies dislike the television series 'American Gladiator'. Make sure that your VCR is still functioning and put in a tape of the aformentioned show. This will ward off any unwanted zombie but may also induce vomitting on self.

Yes, there is. Your chance of winning one of these is as good as anyone else's whether it be here or anywhere else. You'll win at some point I'm sure. From the amount of people who view this site versus the amount of people who actually bothered to put their hand in the pot is staggering. You'll be guaranteed to not win anything if you don't try. Keep trying.
