The Walking Dead, Survival Rule Of The Week: What to avoid

2) Not knowing where to go

Like I said in the previous entry, confusion is your enemy. Time is precious when you’re trying to escape the dead, and, every second you waste trying to figure out where to go, is a second that a zombie (or worse, several zombies) gets closer to grabbing you.

Furthermore, as those precious seconds tick down, panic can start setting in, meaning you get more confused and start acting even more rashly.

What this would likely result in is you running off in some random direction, and, at that point…you have no idea where you might end up. For all you know, you might wind up in an “Out of the frying pan, and into the fire” sort of situation, leaving a bad situation…for a worse one.

How to avoid it?

Have maps. Now, note that I said “maps“, plural, because, since you don’t know where you might be when the apocalypse hits, or where you may be forced to go in the apocalypse, it pays to have maps for any area that you think you might go to in the apocalypse.

On top of that, simply having them isn’t enough, you need to study them, because, just as you don’t know where you might be when the zombie apocalypse hits, you also never know when it might hit. You could be on a business trip to a foreign country for all you know! Where will you go if, in the middle of said business trip, you discover that the place is being overrun with zombies?

If you’ve memorized the map…you don’t need to worry about it, do you?
