No matter what choice you make when it comes to water filter you are going to need a replacement. You can die just as quick from drinking water from a tapped-out filter as you can by not filtering it at all. Using a reliable water filter is crucial but...

In terms of long-term survival, we can’t talk enough about having and maintaining a clean water supply. One excellent source of clean drinking water that is reliable and very safe for consumption with little or no purification required is rainwater.

We spend a lot of time talking about water and weapons around this site, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t love a good meal. So picking out some meal options that are going to benefit you nutritionally as well as taste pretty good is going to be top priority.

As much as we’d like to think that we all survive through a zombie apocalypse unscathed (and who knows, maybe we will) at some point, somewhere after the fall of civilization, we’re going to need some medical care.

Many of the situations we’ll face during and after the zombie apocalypse will be made worse by the loss of electricity. Thankfully there are some great solutions available to us today that will provide almost indefinite electrical supplies.

There may come a time when you need more electricity than your solar panels or bicycle chargers can provide you with. Perhaps the zombie threat has abated and you’re trying to restore normalcy as you rebuild civilization.

If you can go by vehicle, you must go by vehicle. The dead just cannot compete with the speed of a vehicle. Gas is important for things outside of powering tools and vehicles as well. A few Molotov cocktails can really slow down a zombie horde. Outside of...

While your flashlight should always be at arm’s length there will be times when you need to relax and catch your breath. Having a light source that is stationary will make this much better than just burning the juice off your flashlight. You need a...

If something is being reported you need to know about it. Don’t be left in the dark. Without radio communications, you will not have a means of finding out the direction of the hordes. Avoiding zombies is not about ‘going with your gut’ and if you play it...

Chemical lights are a consumable. These are lights that may not be around long after the collapse but they will offer up options and save batteries in your flashlight. They are also not as harsh as flashlights. The light may not draw the dead as readily as...

If you are in this thing for the long haul you are going to have a base camp. This will likely be the most important place in your life. Chances are you will not be there alone. Don’t let some knucklehead who found a case of wine burn the thing down. Fire...

Gun fire should be your last resort. If you are smart you will still be working on self-preservation. There is no point in surviving if you are going to let your human machine become inoperable. If you are facing off against biters or enemy humans it could...
