Today we are going to discuss how to survive and exist with one of nature's more peculiar and potentially deadly creatures. And one of the most misunderstood ones as well: the zombie. Sure we all have seen and heard the stories of zombies attacking and going on feeding frenzies.

But what many fail to stop and consider is that the zombie is no different than any other carnivorous animal. It gets hungry and it needs to eat, so it hunts. Much like the wolf zombies are pack hunters, meaning that instead of traveling and hunting alone, they travel and catch their prey in groups. often times by circling and closing in until they have caught their meal.

For this lesson, lets focus on one tragic zombie encounter and how it could have been prevented. I'm sure that most have heard the tale of Johnny and Barbara, and how a simple trip to visit their father's grave went terribly awry.

Posted Image

Lets start at the beginning of this trip, which is where they began making dire mistakes. First off, they were entering well known zombie hunting grounds and habitat without taking the proper precautions, Notice how they just drive right in the middle of the zombie's territory

Posted Image

When Johnny should have entered slowly and showed the zombies that they meant no harm, but also were not unsuspecting prey, Like our team demonstrates:

This slow entry allows the zombie scouts to see exactly what they are up against, Oh yes, zombies are very intelligent despite their appearance and have a very strategic hunting technique. Which these scouts which alert the rest of the pack when potential prey is near immediately were aware that our crew was not helpless and without resources.

The next fatal error made by Johnny was once in the middle of the hunting grounds, he then proceeded to taunt and tease the zombies. This is a common sense issue here, NEVER go into another animal's territory and taunt.

Posted Image

Of course this drew out the first of the pack to defend their territory

Posted Image

Where if they had respected the inhabitants this would have been the scene

Posted Image
Posted Image

Rather than looking to engage the zombies, this group simply goes about their business

Posted Image
Posted Image

Next fatal mistake was made by Barbara. After Johnny engages and is defeated the zombies now turn their attention to her, both angered at the actions of Johnny, and by the need to feed. Her mistake, was one rule that is true for any animal. She showed fear which will cause any animal to attack.

Here you can see our team mate boldly walking and showing that she was unafraid of the secretly watching zombies, and she was doing her own hunting maneuvers

This showed the zombies that this team was on the same train of thought, where the zombies were looking at this group thinking of them as:

Posted Image

They were shown that this lady was also looking to them thinking of the zombies as:

Posted Image

These actions alone are often times enough to neutralize the hunt, after all, no predator wants to become the prey.

And after all of this perhaps the biggest mistake of all was this one:

This is how it should have looked:

Posted Image

NEVER take the keys from the ignition when in zombie territory!

That concludes this lesson on proper behavior in zombie habitat. We hope this will serve as a guide to help make zombie/human co-existence a much better situation,

It really was a beautiful cemetery. The groundskeeper made sure we knew the location of the headstone in the movie.

These houses may look all run down, but they have a value you can't see

It was, I wanted to see it for what it was, not just cuz of the movie. Though I also woulda liked to have seen the other graves from the movie. The one they were visiting, and the one Johnny got his head bashed into. Though I may have and not realized it
