Rule # 112
Pad your self as much as possible

Foam or polystyrene, either of these can be used to pad your body underneath clothing, making it harder for zombies to get to your flesh, as this will act as a barrier. Most duvets are made of this kind of material which can be broken down, cut to size and wrapped around the body before putting on clothing.

Always keep your distance from the undead

This may sound obvious but distance is key. Build your base away from zombies, store food and supplies out of sight and with enough distance from the undead. Think of distance when building parameters.

Get a utility belt
