The Weekly Forecast

So I just returned from vacation, hence the lack of posts, and while I was lying in the sun, I got thinking about how much the climate would play a pretty integral part of Z-Survival. Depending on where you live could drastically alter your plan. Not only would you be worrying about zombies but you would have to take into account the elements and indigenous life.

Right now with all the comforts we are accustomed to, basic survival for most people is pretty damn easy. Thirsty? turn on the tap. Hungry? Open the fridge. Sick? Google your symptoms, panic because Web MD says you're going to die, race to the Dr’s and find out it’s indigestion, it’s all pretty easy. With our current technology and knowledge we can easily turn some pretty inhospitable locations into a decent place to live. But take away those advantages and ask yourself how long before you were braving the roads to find an easier place to call home.

A lot of things would change post zombie outbreak, but climates shouldn’t be one of them. I suppose during the anarchy something terrible like a nuclear launch could happen that could alter things, but if that was the case you’re screwed anyways so worrying about how to deal with zombies wouldn’t really be a problem now would it. So we are going to say the environment pretty much stays intact, and I’ll  take a look at how location changes your survival techniques, by working my way through each climate in separate posts

I’m not going to dive into the basic human needs like, shelter, food, sleep etc. Those needs are the same regardless of what situation you are trying to survive, zombies or no. I’m only going to focus on what changes when you DO add zombies to the mix. What do you need to modify or implement in certain environments because there are zombies wandering around everywhere. How does the weekly forecast affect your survival chances and what benefits or disadvantages does it bring.

Before I start things off it’s important to realize that surviving hinges a lot on being able to adapt to your surroundings. This skill thankfully is not part of a zombies repertoire. They keep plodding along with the same intent regardless of where they are or what’s around them. They are pretty resilient, but not beyond the reach of mother nature, and each climate would effect them differently. This is one of our major advantages. In the next few posts I’ll break down how big of an advantage living in certain climates can give you
