Repopulating The Earth Week 3 6/7/14 First off I’d like to congratulate you, if you have followed my survival guide to the letter there is a 98.78%, completely kidding you have about a 2.3% chance of survival haha zombies are dangerous, chance that you have survived the initial Zombie outbreak. Hopefully you and your group has found shelter and is now safe from zombie attacks. Now what? Do you just wait behind your impenetrable walls? No! Look around you what do you see, that’s right nothing but death. (Like This but more dead bodies) Do you want to leave it like that? NO! I understand you hate humans as a species, I mean we do kinda suck. However I know that you’re arrogant and insecure. Let em tell you something, if you/ and your team successfully reproduce the human race then you will become the fittest man/woman alive. (Step Aside Usain Phelps and Michael Bolt you’re nothing compared to the Great Repopulator) The idea seeming a little better now right? Well before you and your group just start scoodly-pooping around there’s some things that you need to know. First off you might need to expand your group. [] is a nice article about it. If you followed my no more than 10 people rule then you don’t have nearly enough people to repopulate the earth. Yes That means this story Is probably not true. I mean unless you want your grandchildren to be all about incest, which is not cool. Also it wouldn’t work very well. Or have you forgotten why you aren’t already a zombie? Genetic Diversity baby! You and your group were immune to the initial disease and were able to survive. But what if all humans were the same? Then everyone would’ve been wiped out by the disease and this guide would be absolutely pointless. Lets say best case scenario you have 5 guys and 5 girls that would not even be close to enough to encompass the genetic diversity needed to survive. So you need to go find some more humans. Have fun! (You now have the knowledge to survive, the question is do you have.... THE GUTS) Zombie Apocalypse Survival Guide Week #2 Chapter 1 Surviving the first Year So now that we have agreed a Zombie Apocalypse is not only possible but also highly likely, you might want to know how to survive, and eventually repopulate human kind. Well this post is going to help you do the former. Before you can worry about repopulating the human species you need to survive and create a stable base. So what tips are going to help you survive?

While you may hate humans as they are smelly and loud, to survive you’re going to need a few of them to survive.
 * 1) 1. Never Go Alone (This guide will help you build the most ideal team to survive)

(Yes this species is necessary for your survival) You can’t do everything for yourself, at least not for an extended period of time. You need others to guard you while you sleep, yes you do need sleep. ([]) Otherwise you will be unable to function at a high level, and you’ll just be zombie meat. Having other people around can make sure that your areas of weakness are covered. Picking your team

Now picking the right team is extremely important. There are many questions to consider when making a zombie apocalypse survival team. They essentially boil down to these two main ideas. Size of your Team This one is tricky. While it may seem beneficial to have the largest group possible that may not always be the case. At least until you find a stable base that is protected having a large group is often times detrimental. For one large groups are louder, and attract more zombies. Larger groups also take longer to make decisions which in a world that requires quick thinking is not beneficial. They also require a much larger supply of resources to be sustained. And depending on your region, and how many resources you have available to you, a large group could self-implode due to lack of nutrients. This all boils down to the carrying capacity of the environment. In this zombie wasteland the carrying capacity of the environment will be significantly smaller than what it is now. With food, shelter, Nintendo DS’s, and clean drinking water sparse a group can only be so large and remain successful.
 * 1) 1. Size Of your team
 * 2) 2. Members of Your Team

(You can try and tell me that Nintendo DS’s are not a factor in an area’s carrying capacity, isn’t it amazing how I can find a way to somewhat relate this to biology. And I’m going to tell you that you’re wrong.)

So when it comes to deciding the size of your group make sure that you’re aware of the resources around you. I would suggest airing with caution and have a team much smaller than the maximum the area could sustain. I suggest having a team size in between 5-10 members. Now how to fill that Team. Picking the Right team Members of course can overlap skills 1 Team Leader

(Team Leader and Cheesy Pump Up Phrases are Necessary) While in a small group position is much less important as most decisions would be able to be decided by democratic votes. Regardless having a team leader is beneficial. He/She will be the one who is in charge when a situation requires quick thinking. It is His/Her job to maintain order within the group and to keep everyone focused and motivated to survive. 2+ Hunters/Outdoorsman

(Yes These Guys are essential) Humans are tertiary consumers. Apex Predators that are Omnivores. Now if you’re anything like me you probably don’t live up to that name. How many of you could actually hunt for your food?



(This is my general attitude to hunting) While that is all fine in our current society where you can hop into your car and head to the supermarket, in a Zombie Wasteland that just ain’t gonna fly. That’s where these guys come in. They have maintained the great human tradition of killing other things and can provide food for you entire group. They are the breadwinners of every survival group and are arguably the most important part. You can never have too many hunters. Outdoorsman are great as well. They know about the outdoors, where you’ll be spending most of your time. They can find shelter, start fires, gather food, and other sorts of useful tricks. Without these people surviving longer than a few days is not going to be likely. Especially if like me your knowledge of berries is limited to what is present in the Hoenn region.

(At least we won’t have to worry about getting paralyzed) The more hunters the better. You can never have too much food or too much knowledge on the outdoors.
 * 1) 3. 2+ Medic/Nurse

(Maybe not the best choice of Nurse) Ah medics, absolutely necessary. If any of your team members come down with some sort of illness or get injured and you don’t have medic well they’re as good as dead. And I assure you that in this toxin, sludge filled world someone is gonna get sick. And I can assure you that you’ll all get injured. Now I have just as much trust in my B and Helped T cells as the next guy but I also don’t want to take any chances. These are the only essential members. There are many other jobs that are extremely helpful to survival but are not essential. Picking the right group is probably the most important thing when it comes to survival. I personally am building a team from Upper Dublin Students in case the apocalypse strikes while we are still in High school. If you wish to apply comment your qualifications below and you will be considered. Remember that you must not grow too attached to any other human as in this world no one is guaranteed to live until tomorrow. Another worthy guide to consider. ([|http://www.zombieoutbreakguide.com/#sthash.yWj7Pr6W.dpbs]) Week 1 (Awareness)
 * Thief (Pick Open Locks and Get you into Buildings)
 * Tech Guy (Set Up WIFI!!! Also Use and repair radios to communicate with others)
 * Scout (Fast runner/ athletic extremely helpful in finding out about a new area)
 * Record Keeper
 * Humor Guy (So you don’t go crazy of course)
 * Craftsman
 * Fighter (People good at battling other Humans which will eventually become the main enemy)




 * From the very onset of my youth I have been enthralled with Zombies, and the potential apocalypse that they might bring, assuming they become real. As I aged I slowly began to realize that Zombies could never truly exist, by the true definition of the name. As humans will never be revived from the dead with a hunger for flesh. I eventually read an article from humor/semi-factual website Cracked.com. ([]) In it made me think if a zombie apocalypse was in fact possible. Now I do refer to modern zombies, which aren’t technically zombies as they are not undead, which are living humans who, from infection from a parasitic disease, have lost control over their minds and body and their entire existence is left in an attempt to spread the disease through physical contact. The article gave 5 real diseases that are transferred from human connection, such as biting, that corrupt the human mind and make people who are in essence mindless zombies. These diseases create human much more dangerous than the zombies from old George Romero movies, because these infected humans (ZOMBIES!!) are fast.**


 * I choose the threat the considered to be number 1 as the basis of this wiki post. I was just kidding by the way. It is absolutely possible that actual undead zombies will exist. The cause that will lead most directly to the Zombie Apocalypse is Nanobots.**


 * Look at this Video.**

media type="custom" key="26025946"
 * This is some crazy stuff. By 2020, although this was made in 2005 so many things may have changed, scientists will be able to create Nanobots that will rewire, repai, and create neural connections of the human brain. (This is the part where relates to stuff we did in biology, Neurons.) This literally means that these Nanobots will be able to completely rewire the way that you think. They will be able to say make you remember all 50 State and Capitals, allow you to remember all of those “spectacular” Middle School memories, or even MAKE YOU A MINDLESS SHELLWITH NOTHING BUT HUMAN FLESH ON THE MIND. That’s scary stuff. But it gets even eerier. Studies [|(http://www.technovelgy.com/ct/Science-Fiction-News.asp?NewsNum=480done)] on prototypes of this technology have shown that the Nanobot remains active even when the host dies.**
 * They also will be able to rewire your brain which means that they can keep all of your limbs and motor functions operational long after your soul rose to heaven (Or descended to hell I’m not you I don’t know how virtuous your life has been). This literally means that they can have complete control over a Dead body, over YOUR DEAD BODY. Has the word Zombie been mentioned in this article yet?**

**Tune in Next Week for Thomas Henning’s Zombie Survival Guide.** **(Trust Me you’ll Need It)**
 * Too make matters worse these Nanobots are programmed to self-replicate. They are programmed to make sure they don’t die. After the hosts death a Nanobot can only survive for a few months. To survive it will have to transfer itself into a new host, via physical contact like biting. Once the Nanobot infiltrates a new host it will shut off the cerebral cortex and take complete control over this organism as well. So it will actually make the dead corpse run down a healthy human so that it can transfer itself into it. Zombies.**
 * This is absolutely relevant because it shows that our fears are not without warrant. It also shows that I’m not crazy for having an entire Zombie Apocalypse contingency plan, and it is in fact you who are crazy if you don’t. I’d let you onto my survival team but we only have 2 more slots open, so you better apply fast. If you aren’t lucky enough to make my survival squad, you have to tune in next week for when I give you all the survival tactics that you’ll need to survive what I have just shown is inevitable. I have warned you what is too come it is now up to you to prepare to survive. I really want you to live so that you don’t become another Zombie chasing me and my squad.**
