May is Zombie Awareness Month

Pull out your gray ribbons folks, its time to remind our like-minded friends and family that May is Zombie Awareness Month.

This means we'll be seeing a lot more zombie-themed stuff on TV, the internet, zombie products, and other such things to capitalize on the occasion. Favorite topics on many other resources will cover how to kill them, what weapons are great to use, possible origins of the Solanum Virus, etc.

 *****

For The Zombie Hunter, Zombie Awareness Month is all about getting back to the basics. 

Here are a few productive activities to work on for the next 30 days:

1. Finish your Bug Out Bag already.

2. Check your emergency supplies at home. Can your family really last more than three months? Medicine, food, water, ammunition, those are just the beginning.

3. Review your emergency map. Review it with your family. Where is your escape route, where are possible infested areas, how many backup shelters do you have?

4. Enroll your kids into summer programs with survival skills. The Red Cross, Jungle Camp, Martial Arts, Cooking, etc. Teach your children valuable life skills. 

It is entirely possible that they world will still be infested with the living dead long after our generation has gone.

5. Inspect your home's defenses and make important improvements.

6. And pay it forward! Share your knowledge with other survivalists! A "LAMOE" or Last Man On Earth will not win the zombie war.

Big thanks to the Zombie Research Society for the reminder. They're been an important resource for me over the years and you could visit the survival section of their forums. Cool stuff there.

Like ZRS always says: "What you don't know can eat you!"

Center For Disease Control: Zombie Apocalypse Preparedness

The CDC has recently published a guide to prepare for the Zombie Apocalypse. The author is no less than Assistant Surgeon General Ali S. Khan who states that the so-called rise of zombies in popular culture has made people increasingly receptive to disaster preparedness.

"You may laugh now, but when it happens you’ll be happy you read this, and hey, maybe you’ll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency."

 

Even with his semi-serious tone, the message is always appreciated. Its hard enough to convince our family and friends to get prepared about anything, let alone a global zombie crisis. 

 "Have you begun preparing for a zombie apocalypse? Or maybe you have been preparing for a more realistic threat like hurricanes or the next flu season?"

The best thing about this article is that non-survivalists are increasingly talking about the Zombie Apocalypse. It starts as a funny conversation around the water fountain. And then the seeds of preparedness are planted in your subconscious. It will take root. And later on, folks will get spooked into action.

Closet Zombie Hunter?

Whatever his approach, the Assistant Surgeon General is tasked with looking after our health & safety.

Just in time for Zombie Awareness Month.  Maybe he really does believe in the zombie apocalypse...   

Stay vigilant!


Thanks to Huey for the heads up!

Neil Gaiman Brains Shirt

Neil Gaiman is wearing a brain t-shirt!

A really smart guy named Michael Spink translated the latin into "there's no accounting for taste...". Something about finding intelligence sexy.  The double meaning could also say that you want to eat big juicy brainz.

Does he want join the ranks of the walking dead, or is he just being his usual clever self?  You decide. 

Stay vigilant!

Zombie Awareness Month 2011 and Cool Beats by Erik Hawk (Delicious People)

In celebration of ZOMBIE AWARENESS MONTH (MAY), I would like to share this really snazzy tune from master musician Erik Hawk.  

There is a challenge on the YouTube page that has a special prize for anybody who can figure out all of the movies found on this video.  

What does the Zombie Awareness Month mean to us?  Its all about being a responsible member of society!  We survivalists need to share our knowledge about zombies to our neighbors. 

Ignorance is not bliss.  It means zombification. 

Save living brains by sharing knowledge, and knowledge is ammunition!

PRO TIP: Do not forget that we must never embarrass our family.  The easiest way to do this is to creep out our neighbors.  Do this carefully, least we ostracize our children at the playground just because some poor ignorant parent does not believe in the zombie apocalypse.

For the sake of your families, be discreet.

Nevertheless, we must strive to educate people.  Start by looking for friends who are concerned about protecting their loved ones in case of big calamities.  Talking about recent disasters always gets the ball rolling!

This could lead to assembling a zombie crisis team. One family united in preparation for the zombie apocalypse is impressive.  Imagine what you could do with the help of like-minded comrades?  

Stay vigilant!
