The Walking Dead, Survival Rule Of The Week: Against the odds

3) The ol’ “Bait and Switch”

I actually really liked the communities’ plan for Beta’s attack: Abandon their respective communities and scout the Whisperers as they searched around for them. I thought it was pretty clever, because, if nothing else, Beta wasn’t expecting it.

That is the sort of thing you should consider doing in a zombie apocalypse. If the worst should come to your doorstep, and, you don’t have the numbers to go toe-to-toe with whatever it might be, you may just have to pick up stakes and get out of dodge.

There’s just one thing I would have added if I were the same situation as the one the communities found themselves in in The Walking Dead: An ambush.

Now, I don’t mean hiding out and trying to attack — If you’re in that situation in the first place, a straight-up fight is one you’ll lose — but, I was thinking more along the lines of booby trapping my home so that, if hostiles or zombies came to invade it, I could cut down their numbers without even having to be there. If they’d laid down some good traps, who knows how much of Beta’s horde or of the Whisperers themselves the communities might have been able to take out? Maybe enough to make fighting them in some way not quite so much of a suicide mission?
