Visitors from Turkmenistan

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the recent visitors from Turkmenistan.

Salam we hoş!

Where the blazes is the "unknown region"??

We are honored by your visit! It is my wish that my humble journal provides helpful information for your well-being and safety vs the undead.

In turn I visited your embassy's website and discovered these wondrous sights and locations.

Images are from the Embassy of Turkmenistan in Yerevan, Armenia and Atlas Obscura. 

Yes, Turkmenistan conquers through its beauty. It has a fascinating country, culture, and history.

I wish it would be possible to visit someday. I'm all about the great outdoors, ancient ruins, meeting the locals, and enjoying the food. Just thinking about travel is making me hungry.


Stay vigilant!

TZH: The Zombie Hunter YouTube Channel

Click here to check it out!

I keep forgetting to mention that I've got a YouTube channel. It is a repository of the small number of videos I've made for this journal. I'm amused at how old some of them are.

The cameras show their age, downright primitive in my early days. From a low megapixel budget phone from 2010, a Canon Ixus from that era, GoPro Hero2, Contour Roam 2, and an Olympus TG2 Tough from 2015.

I've yet to use something better than my four year old Samsung Galaxy Edge 7. Maybe someday I'll get myself a proper camera.

TZH also does Instagram  'coz I enjoy a little photography.

***************************

I thought that doing more than the blog was going to feel like work, but it turned out to be a lot of fun. 

For an introvert like me, I really appreciate the wonderful and interesting friends I've made on these platforms. I've grown to be a huge fan of the writers, veterans, athletes, teachers, musicians, and "regular" family people who are all stellar for just being themselves. 

This is why I up my game to help ya'll survive. The world needs cool folks like you!

Huey's Gunsight - 5 Things you'll forget WTSHTF that could get you killed...

A friend of ours has a list of 5 things that you may forget when the Zombie Apocalypse hits that could get you killed.

Check it out over here at Huey's Gunsight.

I've been an avid reader of his since I started blogging and enjoy all of his articles. The cool part is he's a like-minded family man who's also preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse.

After reading his really cool suggestion, I thought more about Firearms, ammunition and medicine. 

When to use firearms against zombies:

• I agree that sufficient ammunition is needed. Problem is that many folks don't realize how heavy a bunch of ammo could be. Not to mention bulky. Try putting 400 shotgun shells in your bug-out-bag. Its like carrying a cooler filled with ice.  

• Having ammo & guns is one thing. Using them at the right time is another. We should only use firearms when it is a matter of life and death. We should use weapons that don't use gunpowder for daily zombie destruction. Why? Because bullets will be scarce! 

• Save your guns for missions that require maximum speed or for critical defense. This means emergencies like rescue missions, escaping from your fortress/home that was broken into by zombies, buying time for your friends, defending against human bad guys (there will be a lot of these, all the movies prove this), etc. 

• Ammunition may become a form of currency in a post-apocalyptic world. Trading some of my home-made shotgun shells for uncle Don's squirrel pie seems like a fair trade.

Imagine a world dominated by millions of undead. Now imagine yourself with awesome biceps from killing dozens of them every day with your trusty axe. This is how the war will be won!

Stay tuned for the TZH Guide to Hand Axe Combat.

Medicine in a Post-Apocalyptic World:

Huey's Gunsight bring up a lot of important points here. A toothbrush is important. I have also been advocating Dental Care as an essential survival tool for the whole family. It is possible to produce makeshift toothbrushes with a few twigs and the right shrubs. There are also a lot of bushcraft resources for homebrew toothpaste. I will share them later on. 

I was a pretty snazzy chemist back in grade-school and could whip up my own batch of soap. Don't neglect personal hygiene! 

Let's not forget medication. If your mom needs Lipitor, you may need to stock up or update your survival map. Identify potential pharmaceutical resources that you can loot for whatever ails your family.

Make new friends
Sharing survival ideas is awesome! Being a zombie survivalist does not have to be so darn lonely. None of us have all the answers, and you'll be amazed from what you could learn.

Got Featured on ITS ON RANDOM

I've recently been featured by Ms. Random Girl on her blog Its On Radom right here. Its part of her series of "get to know your bloggers". I just wanna say that she's got creative skills that I wish I could fill into the right side of my brain. 

I wish I could draw, paint, make crafts & dolls, stimulate the minds of my offspring, because all of these WILL come in handy. Maximize your brains, yo.

Personally, I've always loved filling up questionnaires since I was little. Slambooks are fun, yes? 

A favorite question was "What movie changed your life?", that was easy. The Goonies was the one that turned me from a skinny nerdy shy kid into a skinny nerdy ADVENTUROUS kid. Me, and my gang of BMX riding buddies. It helped shape me into what I am today. 

If the zombie apocalypse happened in the mid 1980's, I think we would have handled it and saved all the kids in our school! And this sort of movie would totally rock.

Reading up on the featured bloggers just blew my mind. Darn it, them zombie writers do awesome stuff. 

Thank you Random Girl! 

Stay vigilant!
