I have seen various survival guides, tv shows, and other things on survival techniques.  Many of them contain incomplete or inaccurate information and some are just dangerous.  In this section I plan on writing simple but effective survival techniques.

I use zombies as a mythical event, but it could be anything from terrorist attack, pandemic, war, or natural disaster.  The techniques that I will present will all be tested by me, and explained in an easy to  understand format.  I will use the term zombies or zombie attack as a generic term to refer to any disaster that has the potential to take out local infrastructure and force the populace that remains to rely on themselves and not grocery stores, water and power companies,and specifically not on the government to hand out the things they need.

Much of what will be in the zombie section of this blog will be suitable for science experiments.  Science is more fun when you add zombies!  This will include physics, chemistry, alternative energy, biology and possibly other disciplines!

The goal is to educate people in what it takes to survive, and in hopes that they will try some of these things and become familiar with what is available in their local area, what works and what does not while times are good so that when times are not good the skills and knowledge is ready to go.

Most survivors of dangerous situations only survived because they knew what to do, and when to do it.  It is for this reason that you should not wait to learn at least the basics that will keep you alive, and make sure that you can actually construct whatever device or shelter, or perform whatever skill is required where failure will not mean death.

Remember survival techniques are only for emergencies and are improvised.  They are usually not optimal when compared to professionally fabricated devices.  There is inherent risk in relying on any improvised device or structure.  Use with caution and at your own risk.
