Michigan State University students will soon get the opportunity to take a seven-week summer course called “Surviving the Coming Zombie Apocalypse: Catastrophes & Human Behaviour.
It’s not all fun and games: the course will cover events like the Great Plague and disastrous earthquakes, before moving on to a theoretical zombie invasion.
I should hope not. the z-day is a serious matter people. just look at all these t-shirts in circulation.
you can’t kill what you don’t understand. how did it all begin? where is it heading? from hypnotised slaves to brainnnns seeking ghouls to the flesh eating monsters of your waking dreams. this is an all-in-one guide to zombism.
this is the ultimate in zombie preparedness. Reed Street Production organises this already trending adventure race where you’re not just running against the clock — you’re running from brain-hungry, virus-spreading, bloody zombies.
Zombies will be on the course, stumbling, chasing, standing, sitting, and crawling, while you pit your wits against various obstacles set out as well as nature itself. sounds positively romero doesn’t it?
note : I am slightly concern about this depiction of chaser zombies vs stumbler zombies on the race website though. these chaser zombies are more regularly appearing in various pop culture references nowadays and frankly its throwing my whole zombie apocalypse survival plan out of whack!
Zombie Workout: Get Fit Enough to Fight the Undead via wired.com
Are you truly prepared to survive a rampage of the undead? Because it’s not just a matter of stockpiling MREs and shotgun ammo; you need to train for some serious fight-and-flight situations. That’s the idea behind ZombieFit, an exercise class in St. Charles, Illinois. To prepare for Z-Day, students do cardio, lift weights, and practice parkour maneuvers in a foam rubber mock-up of an urban environment. “It’s about being quick and efficient with your movements,” explains instructor Jesse Randall. “If the zombies come, you’re going to need to conserve your energy.” If? I think he means when.
Survival Workout
1. Climb
Zombies aren’t very spry, so climbing over barriers is a key evasive maneuver. Practice on a wall that’s a little taller than you.
Extra training: Pull-ups, bench dips
Muscles worked: Core, triceps, deltoids
2. Free Fall
Jumping off a roof may provide temporary respite, but break a leg on landing and you’re dinner. Cushion the impact by extending your legs and touching down on the balls of your feet. Then get up and make tracks.
Extra training: Toe raises
Muscles worked: Calves, hamstrings
3. Hurdle
Run at a sturdy obstacle—park bench, subway turnstile, picnic table. Dive forward, placing both hands on the object, and swing your legs up to your chest. The momentum will propel you over.
Extra training: Air squats, push-ups, sit-ups
Muscles worked: Pecs, delts, quads
4. Breakaway
“Extricating yourself from a zombie’s grasp uses every muscle in your body,” says Rich Gatz of ZombieFit. Practice by lifting and tossing a big object like a tractor tire.
Extra training: Resistance running, weighted pull-ups and push-ups
Muscles worked: Lats, core, hamstrings

Push to talk, and unlike cell phones they work in an apocalyptic nightmare world. Come in…over…
okay, time to stock up on some. these solar powered ones would work quite well.
my sentiments exactly….
time for tips:
1. if you’re not sure where to go, stay put. breath. think.
2. if you’re taking care of a panicked child, give clear instructions.
no. zombies cannot swim. but they do walk underwater. therefore, when buying a boat, I highly recommend an island fortress to go with it. something similar to this one here should do the trick.
