Survival Strategy #2: Make a Bug Out Bag

Here's a list of stuff from that you can buy at the nearest mall.  Ace Hardware, True Value and even the supermarket has a lot of handy stuff.  Before you buy them, take some time to think about how these items will serve you when SHTF.  Learn from our recent disasters!


The shopping list:

  • Enough food and water to last for at least seventy two hours per person  Including: Water for washing, drinking and cooking. 2 litres per person per day for drinking should be OK
  • dry and Non-perishable food - Skyflakes, canned and freeze-dried food, beans, etc.
  • water purification supplies and containers
  • cookware
  • Cutlery and cups/dishes
  • A first aid kit - mostly for cuts wound cleaning, antibiotics, cleansing, etc.
  • Fire starting tools (strike-anywhere & waterproof matches, lighter & fluid, etc.)
  • Maps and travel info
  • Standard camping equipment, including sanitation supplies
  • Weather appropriate clothing
  • Bedding items such as sleeping bags & blankets
  • Enough medicine to last an extended evacuation period
  • hand-powered flashlights and radio
  • Firearms and appropriate ammunition
  • swiss knife
  • Cash and change - you may not be able to use the ATM in case TSHTF
  • Duct Tape
  • A good pair of running shoes

Find a nice bag for all these. Is your old Jansport good enough?  Or do you need that fancy The North Face backpack?

And find out how heavy all of this will be. It won't mean jack if SHTF and you can't even carry this stuff!

Only one way to find out.

I'll be sharing a few product reviews on stuff that you can find in your typical mall.

Stay tuned survivors.

Survival Strategy #1: Get Started Today

Congratulations! You have decided to survive the Zombie Apocalypse. You have chosen not to become one of the millions of walking dead. You have begun your transformation. All of this begins with the first steps towards preparedness.

Now that you are aware of the coming crisis, you need to get into the survivalist's state of mind. This is important because your loved ones will depend on you.  Whenever you can, write important ideas on paper or in the notepad of your cellphones or something.  Just get started. Draw up your plans today.

Be discreet. Baby steps are important, consistency is essential. If your special lady starts asking what you're up to, just say that you're only buying survival gear. Innocent stuff.

"just getting prepared baby. you know, for climate change..."

Buy her a nice shoulder bag to keep your home life nice & peachy. Preferrably a waterproof shoulder bag that could carry ammo, provisions, or other useful things WSHTF.
Make a list of special training courses that you will need to be a competent survivalist.  You'll be needing all the skills you can cram into your still-living brain to defeat the hordes of undead.

It is your duty as the head of the family to be more than John Rambo, Bear Grylls, Jason Bourne, and Sir David Attenborough all rolled into one. The sooner the better.

This is Day One, and this is your homework.

Its coming. What do we do?

The Zombie Apocalypse is coming.  We're all doomed.  Your brains will all be devoured by the living dead and you'll spend eternity doing the same.  Goodbye tapsilog, goodbye bibingka, goodbye peach mango pie.  Brains brains brains for you.  

Unless you're like me.


I'm getting ready and I've started months in advance.

Unlike most humankind, I will be ready to survive.

I will save my loved ones, and maybe a few others too.


Wanna do the same?  Read on.  I'm here to help.  I'm The Zombie Hunter, and I'll help you face the coming storm.
