Fear The Walking Dead, Survival Rule Of The Week: The Things You Need

7) Food And Water.

This is pretty self-explanatory, right? Do you really need me to explain why you need these? …No? Okay, then, that just means I have to focus on what you need.

First of all, water, lots of water. With the exception of air and heat, being without water will kill you the fastest. Three days without it will kill you, straight up, so, you need to have as much of it with you as you can get, and it needs to be clean, because there’s so many germs that hide in water, and you do not want to guzzle them down. Now, you might think  “Oh, well, it’ll only make me sick for a few days, that’s no big deal, I’ll get over it.”

Maybe.

The thing with a lot of waterborne diseases is that, the symptoms they cause often lead to dehydration. You might think that drinking any water is better than none, but, if you drink something that causes you to vomit, or have diarrhea, that causes dehydration, meaning that you will have made your situation worse, and potentially accelerated your demise, so…make sure your water’s clean.

As for food, think things which will last you a long time, and provide you with necessary nutrients. Dehydrated fruit can last for months, and help you fight off scurvy. Jerky can last for months, and gives you lots of necessary protein. You can also buy MREs at a number of stores, which come in a variety of dishes, and can last for years. Try to stock up on as many of those as you can get.

Another good choice is dry pasta, which can also last you for at least a year (So long as they don’t get wet), and, honestly…who doesn’t like spaghetti? I don’t want to know that person.

Of all the things you’ll need for a zombie apocalypse, the means of giving yourself the physical strength to keep surviving is paramount. Get as much food and water as you can, because, if you don’t have the strength the move…how are you gonna survive?

And that’s your Survival Rule Of The Week!
