The Walking Dead, Survival Rule Of The Week: You Need To Improvise

The Walking Dead – Survival Rule of the Week

As we learned in this week’s Survival Rule Of The Week, if you’re going to survive The Walking Dead, you had better know how to improvise.

In this week’s episode of The Walking Dead, we saw Maggie, Negan, Father Gabriel, and Elijah attempt to infiltrate Meridian while under the nose of its new tenants, the Reapers. To say that the operation wasn’t easy would be a bit of an understatement.

What followed was a complicated attempt by the four (Along with some stealth help from Daryl) to break into Maggie’s former home and make off with as much food as they could carry. While also trying to keep the Reapers confused and guessing long enough not to get killed in the process.

Between Maggie’s team, Daryl, and the Reapers, we saw a lot of innovation and improvisation. In the case of Maggie’s team (and Daryl), they had to find a way to break into Meridian without drawing the attention of their healthier, more numerous, and better-armed adversaries. In the case of the Reapers, they had to try to repel Maggie’s attack against them, which was masked (No pun intended) behind a wave of walkers, who greatly outnumbered them. To one degree or another, both succeeded, and they did so by finding ways around the limitations they were presented with.

For this week’s The Walking Dead, Survival Rule Of The Week, I will discuss just how important innovation and improvisation is to survive a zombie apocalypse. And some of the ways you can do it because just knowing that you should improvise isn’t enough; you need to know how.
