Real Advice v. Opinions:
A lot of opinions are floating around out there, but unless, by some accident, you happen to be Kenneth or Micheal, you're gonna end up Glen.

Head Shot Vs. Practical Combat:

The Infamous Head Shot: As to the infamous head shot, here’s a little experiment for you: Take about a dozen fence posts and pumpkins, watermelons, etc. Pound the fence posts into the ground spread round an area of let’s say 1/8th of a mile, then stick the melons on tops (that’s the head). Now go back to the starting point, do 10 pushups, and run full-bore at the fence post-skin jobs, and shoot EACH AND EVER ONE fully in the head (no grazing shots) at a range not greater than 5 paces. THEN tell us you’re gonna make that head shot. Each and every time.
A shot gun, you aren’t looking for the head shot; You’re actually looking for the disabling shot. Broken back, shattered knees, etc. That buys you the time to either escape and evade, or club them- Like a baby seal.



1. Do not light them on fire. Unless there is nothing near you, you want to catch on fire.
2. Do not go into a 7-11.
3. Try not to run into a crowd.
4. Do not go anywhere without a weapon!
5. Do not separate from your group!
6. Do not assume you are Rambo.
7. Do not assume what you've read on this wiki was written by intelligent people.
8. Never hole up in a place without a secondary exit.
9. Don't be an asshole. You're just asking for a bullet to the back of your head.
10. Work together! This sounds easy, but in a hostile situation mankind's primal instincts take over. Don't let them.

OriJuice:
11: The forests are never safe. Don't go there.
12: Don't be the martyr: Especially if you are in good health, remember there are equal chances for everyone to escape. The Zeds ain't looking for only one appetizer.
13: Don't try to continue the human race until the threat is past. Only thing worse than zombies is a pissed off pregnant woman with a gun.
14: Never leave cuts open, it's just a bad idea due to contamination risks.

13th.Casualty
15.) Don't make any sound if you don't want to be seen.
16.) Got anything that's not a shotgun with good stopping power? Then don't aim for the body. Always the head.
17.) Don't touch a zombie without at the very least wearing a HAZMAT suit. Or a leather glove. Or something.


Ejiki
18.) Don't, if bitten, put on Kevlar and a motorcycle helmet in hopes of being the ultimate zombie. The ones who survive will be very annoyed. Sure, the helmet prevents bites...but it also makes killing you harder.
19.) Don't be greedy with supplies. Others gotta eat too.
20.) Resident Evil does not, no matter how fun it is, qualify as experience with firearms.
21.) Don't waste ammo.
22.) Don't be a picky eater during an outbreak. Cat food may one day save your life.
23.) If in New York, Spiderman will NOT save you. He is fictional.
24.) Don't rely on sight. Listen to your surroundings.
25.) Zombies don't give a crap if you can do a twirly thing with your sword. Save the theatrics for a Zed-free day.
26.) Don't use whips. They'll get tangled in undead limbs.
27.) Avoid alcohol, drugs and smoking. What's the point of surviving the undead if you die of liver failure or lung cancer?

Zellgin
28.) No matter what, as long as the trees live and the sun rises, there will be a tomorrow. Fight for it. Secure it. It is ours.
29.) Shooting first and asking questions later makes return fire accurate fire!
30.) If the attack is going well, its an ambush.
31.) If you leave no possible way for the Zeds to get in, then you leave no way for yourself to get out!
32.) Become a true leader and people will follow you anywhere. Proclaim yourself a god and people will test your immortality!
33.) No good leader gives orders from the back of the stack.
34.) Trigger time is not measured by how long you stayed up playing Halo 3 when it was released.
35.) If your Special Forces friend taught you everything he knows about survival, then he's neither Special Forces nor your friend!!

13th.Casualty
36.) Do not approach a guy with a bloody piece of clothing or body part.
37.) Do not approach a dead body unless you are really sure it's dead.

Cylon1994
38.) Explosives are a no-no as they just make undead body parts spewing blood go flying at you.
39.) If you ever find yourself lucky enough to get to a missile silo, you should shut it down and not fire the potential survivor killer missile.
40.) Do not bite a zombie thinking it will turn into a living human again.
41.) Do not take your computer.
42.) Take a deep breath, Aim, let it out and squeeze the trigger. Don't jerk the trigger, otherwise you will miss
43.) If you can't take the heat, don't shoot yourself in the heart. Shoot yourself in the head.
44.) Don't shoot till you know it's a Zed.
45.) They're dead already, so don't hesitate.

3DayAsylum
46.) Kind of adding to one of Cylon1994's but... Squeeze, don't pull.
47.) Don't approach anybody that you assume to be drunk. Period. Especially if they have a firearm or other weapon.
48.) To keep your beloved sanity, get a puppy. They can help you in dire situations, be your best friend, and so forth. (Nidhogg They also taste great with honey barbeque sauce.)
49.) Don't go out hunting zombies, it's a waste of resources and life.
50.) Pack lightly.

Ejiki

51.) Wash yourself whenever you get the chance. You don't want diseases. Plus smelly people = yuck!
52.) Don't listen to an iPod while on the move. You'll need to hear them coming from behind.
53.) **In addition to #50** Pack only what you will need.
54.) Have more than one weapon. Long AND close-range.

McSkullcracken
55.) Do not try to capture a zombie. Things will go wrong. True scientists with intentions of study may be exempt from this one, just don't take any risks.
56.) Do not intentionally infect another human/survivor or threaten to do so. It will end badly for everyone.
57.) Do not do anything without a Plan A, B, C, D, etc.
58.) Do not get careless.
59.) Do not get cocky, over-confident or proclaim yourself the ultimate zombie hunter. Karma will bite you in the ass in the form of a zombie.
60.) Never assume you know everything about anything.

61 Never, ever keep a zombie as a pet

Mastermind22:
66) Never EVER assume that a zombie - limb(s) = safe to approach.
67) Don't attempt to surprise a zombie. Zombies are never surprised.
68) Don't forget to pray, this preserves sanity.
69) Never shoot a zombie in anyplace but the head.
70) Avoid crazy religious people. In the worst-case-scenario you'll be sacraficed to God, and while you may be all warm and fuzzy in heaven, you're also now another zombie.
71) Avoid hospitals. Most have been raided or have no power or other means to preserve the medications and supplies. If you DO manage to find one, be prepared to face alot of undead patients and a big dissapointment if what you're looking for isn't there.
72) If bitten, do not think you will become an uber zombie and tell your friends that you will own them. This annoys them and this will lead to them tossing you into a river.
73) Golden rule: if you saw it on a movie/TV or heard it on the radio, don't try it.
74) Don't make tons of noise unless with intention to distract. And even then, you're an idiot for not sneaking away quietly.
75) Make sure your group is clean of bites. If needed, force a removal of pants and shirts and such to root out potential lairs.
76) Avoid atom bombs. Unless the fallout can destroy the zombies.
77) Don't bother raiding Wal-Mart, as most people will have done that.
78) Don't you dare break a leg!
79) Don't think about your childhood, this will distract you and make you sad.

twinsword
80) Don't try to save everybody you see. You're not Superman.

Ventanator
81)Going to the third or fourth (second should be okay) story of a building and chopping up the stairs is stupid. What happens when you're starving and can't get back down?
82)When you get hurt, stick to light drugs like aspirin. Morphine will make you groggy, and needs to be conserved for when you are seriously injured.
83)Just because you can hit a target doesn't mean you can actually kill something. Even if a zed is dead, the human mind is funny about that kind of thing.
84)Chips and Slim-Jims won't last very long. Try to find a place to hole up with a greenhouse, or find a farm. Why live through Z-day if you starve to death later? Most survival guides contain a list of edible plants and animals so that can be the difference between life and death.

85) DON'T EVER, EVER, EVER, EVEN FOR A SECOND EVER! LET. DOWN. YOUR. GUARD. Tebben
86) No offense to anyone, but don't assume that just because you are "pretty good at paintball", you will have the firearm and combat skills for a real life situation. It's better than nothing, but definitely not the same.


KIRA_2
93) if you have a choice use a smooth knife a serrated or toothed knife will get stuck in a zed
94) travel by your self groups attract to mutch zombie attention
95) hourses are not all that great thay can become zombies to ya know
96) dont take pity on kid zombies thay are still zombies

THEMAD BADGER
97) If you find your self holed up with a photocopier salesman, do your self a service and join the Z's. (long story involving being stuck in a lift)

UnUndead
98) Do not stay in a city. Cities are bad, m'kay?
99) The Evil Overlord List has a few good pointers that could help you in an outbreak. Not everything on the list pertains specifically to zombies, but a large portion of it could easily be adapted to help you survive. Number four is particularly good.

Oblus345
100) There is no such thing as too organized.
101) Don't go looting T.V.s and stuff it's a waste of time, energy, and space


mehillus:
102)if your bleeding, dont take an asprin/tylenol/painrelife , as it will make the wound harder to clot.

Cyclops:
103) never leave anything useful behind (dont like whiskey? use it as antiseptic or have someone else drink it to dull pain during a makeshift surgery)
104) always have a laptop with extra batteries or a radio with extra batteries people will communicate anyway they can
105) FIND SURVIVOR CAMPS
106) everyone should try to learn some basic skills, (making bread, small medical procedures, making a small shelter, etc.)
107) think and act quickly during an emergency, use what you have and work with it! (ex. remove shrapnel with kitchen knives, your hands, a lighter and a block of wood to bite down on)
108) think silly games wont help you? halo 3 along with many other fps games can improve your hand-eye coordination
109)DO NOT FORGET TO STERILIZE EQUIPMENT IF YOU ARE ABOUT TO PERFORM A MAKESHIFT SURGERY
110) location location location... that is where all the zombies will be NO WHERE IS SAFE
111) find books about medicinal and poisonous plants, if you can find some poison that will still affect the zombie feed a lot of it to a bleeding animal so the zombies will ingest it as well (ex. deadly nightshade attack the nervous system which can lead to coma or death)


Tacticalplanner:
112) Don't assume that a rifle is zeroed, loaded or cleared. Check before you shoot or aim a rifle or pistol.
(Now it's the sarcasm)
113) always assume that it's safe to point a loaded firearm at a friend or survivor.
114) Always assume that a body won't get up and come after you.
(end of my sarcasm)
115) A quote: "Without supplies, No army is brave" Fredrick the Great
116)When you see a dead body, put one in it's head (Doesn't need to be a bullet) unless you're sure it's really dead.

~Jack~:
117) NEVER let a Zombie get behind you.

byates:
118) If they are still moving don't stop shooting.

Survivor_Gill:
119) Don't Panic
120) Don't lose your towel

lilgizmo838:
121) try and find a small pet, a cat, or a small dog, there senses are much greater than yours, and will detect a zombie long before you do
122) (i just want to get this out now, just in case) if you do catch a zombie and subject him to tests, try and see if sertain frequencies can not be heard by zeds, but can be heard by uninfected, it would be a good way to find survivors without attracting zeds.
123) keep alchohol or hydrogen peroxide with you at all times, if the Z-virus can be killed by disenfectants, i would like to know
124) just because you took health class, doesnt make you a doctor, be extreemly careful when performing medical treatments
125) whiskey is useless as a pain releaver, it would just make you drunk and useless on the battlefield, use a numming agent directly where it hurts
126) shrapnel does not kill a zombie, it makes it more dangerous, because before, it was a zed, now, its a really sharp zed
127) do old people a favor and kill them now, they dont need to see this, and even if they do survive, they wouldnt be any help unless they are strong, smart, or used to be a military commander
128) the best thing you can do is set up a base, fill it with sensors and traps, and survive. i have no idea how long it would take, but im sure eventually zeds can starve to death.
129) wear kevlar or chain mail torsoes, sleeves, andneck guards, that is where the zeds bite, and i dought they can bite through metal
130) as soon as a zed outbreak happens, consult this website before the internet goes down permanently, it could save your life a thousand times over.

woody100
131) have some dettol. "dettol protects... fact"

Walking_Dead4:

132: sorta like one of the other guys said up the list dont hole up unless there is a second exit and if not make yourself one.
133: Don't fill up a car with explosives unless it is heavily armored because when a zed gets on they start ripping up stuff and you know what that means......
134: NEVER bring heavy guns unless you have a car because they just weigh you down (ex rocket launchers etc) that will get you chased by zeds because ur making alot of noise!
135: here is a tip if someone breaks his leg RUN FOR YOUR LIFE he will just make noise and that attracts zeds because really i have no care for people i wouldnt know.
136: if your stuck on a roof DO NOT JUMP FROM BUILDING TO BUILDING proffesionals do this not desperate survivors!

Biohazard724:

137: If bitten, KILL YOURSELF NOW! Dont promise your group you wont turn because you will, its better only one of you dies instead of 6.
